「YUKIHYO」は、積雪の高さに合わせて床のレベルを上げることで、冬には建物と雪景色が一体となる独自の空間を生み出しています。敷地に自生する樹木を大切に残し、その配置に寄り添うように建築を計画しました。自然の中で過度に主張することなく、周囲の環境と静かに共存する別荘を目指しています。 By raising the floor level to align with the depth of accumulated snow, YUKIHYO creates a unique spatial relationship in which the building becomes unified with the snowy landscape during winter. Existing trees on the site were carefully preserved, and the architecture was arranged around them rather than replacing them. Rather than imposing itself upon nature, the villa seeks a quiet coexistence with the surrounding environment.
