This vacation home is located at the end of the cape in a national park 100 miles South West of Tokyo along the Japanese coast.
Nature, such as the wide sky and peaceful sea, majestic mountains -especially the view of Mt. Fuji and refreshing breezes characterizes the charms of this site.
In addition to the beauties of the distant scenery, the building was made use of the local view of the cherry trees in the premises, to enjoy the color and scent of the flowers, and see the change of seasons with autumn leaves.
The design was repeatedly adjusted to make places according to the scenery visible from the building.
The first room to be placed was the living room on the 2nd floor, giving panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean sweeping away to the west and Mt. Fuji in the north, as well as ensuring privacy from the northerly neighbors and public roads. Deliberately L-shaped to enclose a 100 year old cherry blossom tree.
A thin roof is used to connect the different places with the different landscapes in view.
On the ocean-side balcony sunbathe while listening to the sound of the waves, and the ability to convert the bathroom to an outdoor bath by drawing in the sliding glass doors allows a bubble bath while watching the sunset.
From the balcony off the master bedroom Mt. Fuji is visible.
From each room the horizontally extending line of the roof and the horizontal line of the ocean respond in parallel.
Because of the location on the cliffs, the first floor was made of wall type concrete and the second floor using steel frame for reduced weight.
The living room - with its three glass sides – required the use of thin steel pillars of 125 x 75 mm (about 5 x 3 inches) so as not to obstruct the scenery. The cantilever to support the deep eaves is designed with low-profile tip following the roof gradient in order to make the eaves thinner.
While it is a temperate and calm resort, it is a region where typhoons pass frequently from summer to autumn, so it gently protrudes a lightweight roof while securing performance to withstand wind pressure.
