Japan is known for both its state-of-the-art skyscrapers and infrastructure and stunning natural wonders like Mount Fuji.
Villa A is named after Akiya Beach in Yokosuka-city, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
It is also located near the town of Hayama, the birthplace of yachting culture in Japan.
At this villa, the first encounter with the sea doesn’t happen by staring out of a balcony.
Instead, it’s a rather symbolic one.
The most striking element of Villa A is its vaulted wooden roof.
Shaped like a triangle, it is divided into four arches, evoking ocean waves.
These later descend to meet the floor, providing shade to those venturing to sunbathe on the deck.
At the same time, they address the different elevations of the sloped terrain.
Ultimately, Villa A is a seamless bridge between inside and outside.
Named after Akiya Beach in Yokosuka-city, Villa A overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
