Villa A
The villa overlooks a great view of the Pacific Ocean, not far from the town of Hayama, the birthplace of Japan's yachting culture. The villa's design is a sculptural form that is appropriate for this spectacular natural setting, with a vaulted roof and a series of arches that symbolize the image of the white, rippling sea. The curved arches of the CLT (cross-laminated timber) roof give a sense of spaciousness to the interior. The result is a villa that perfectly suits a laid-back lifestyle and provides a deep connection to the blue waters at its doorstep.
