About Infinity 住宅

呢間住宅位於沖繩北部山區,即係人稱「城前」(Gushiku Mui)嘅地方,係一位主要居所喺北海道嘅客戶嘅週末及度假別墅。呢個山頂選址可以俯瞰下方一望無際嘅海景,同時亦享有背後雄偉山巒嘅氛圍。客廳、飯廳同厨房區域貫穿整個物業嘅闊度,其中一端設有一個擁有戶外景觀嘅按摩浴池浴室。穿過一個部分由屋簷遮蔭嘅客廳露台,一個無邊際泳池延伸融入大海同森林嘅自然景觀之中。

Unique Properties: A large entrance garden greets residents and visitors inside the first-floor entryway, while the centrally located kitchen offers box-seat views of a peaceful courtyard. The living-dining-kitchen area stretches the full width of the property, with a jacuzzi bathroom featuring outdoor views at one end. Beyond a living-room terrace partially shaded by eaves, an infinity pool segues into a natural landscape of ocean and forest. The second floor comprises private rooms as well as a full-width balcony with an outdoor jacuzzi, providing a different way to enjoy the stunning views. An exterior staircase leads to a rooftop terrace with concrete benches and 360-degree views of the mountains and ocean.

Research: We strongly believe that as remote work is normalized and the nature of both work and lifestyles changes dramatically, maintaining residences in both urban and non-urban areas will become a standard option for people around the world who want to vary their lifestyle according to the seasons and other considerations. Most likely, homes will need to serve multiple functions, including as offices, hotels, guest houses, and galleries. The long-dominant model of the single-purpose private home may well be giving way to a new kind of multi-purpose “public home” along the lines of what we have conceived in this project.
Inspiration: This residence in the mountainous region of northern Okinawa known as Gushiku Mui serves as a weekend and vacation home for a client whose primary residence is in Hokkaido. The hilltop site offers sweeping views of the ocean immediately below as well as the ambiance of the magnificent mountains behind it.
