日本の亜寒帯地域に建つこの別荘は、菱形のフォルムを風景の中に丁寧に据え、東西の大きなガラス面を通して周囲の自然へと空間を開いています。勾配をつけた屋根は、雪を自然に滑り落とすとともに、室内の高さや広がりに変化をもたらします。敷地からの眺望と厳しい気候から導かれたその姿は、家族を優しく包み込む大きな翼を思わせます。 TSUBASA is a villa in Japan’s subarctic region. The rhombus-shaped form is carefully inserted into the landscape, creating spaces that open toward the surrounding nature through large glass screens facing east and west. The angled roof allows snow to slide off naturally while also shaping the scale of the interior spaces. Derived from the site’s views and severe climate, the form resembles a large wing — “TSUBASA” in Japanese — gently embracing the family within.
