THE RESIDENCE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF NISEKO`S SKI RESORT RESIDENTIAL AREA, THIS RESIDENCE WAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO PROVIDE DUAL FUNCTIONS; AS AN INTERMITTENT PRIVATE RESIDENCE & AS A PRIVATELY MANAGED/SERVICED BOUTIQUE HOTEL. THE CLIENT`S BRIEF OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INTUITIVE RESPONSE TO THE SITE AND LOCAL CONDITIONS WITH THE RESULT; A LUXURIOUS FIVE-BEDROOM RESIDENCE WITH MODERN COMFORTS. THE SITE`S MOST PRIZED FEATURE IS ITS VIEW OF THE PICTURESQUE MT. YOTEI. THE DESIGN ORIENTATES ON ITS AXIS WITH INTERNAL PLANNING CAREFULLY ARRANGED WITH A SINGULAR FOCUS TO DIRECT, CAPTURE, AND FRAME THAT VISTA. THE UPPERMOST FLOOR IS THE ACTIVE PART OF THE RETREAT.

IT HAS A LUXURIOUS MASTER BEDROOM AND THREE GENEROUS BEDROOMS; ALL WITH ENSUITES. THE GROUND FLOOR; SELF-CONTAINED GUEST QUARTERS, SKI LOCKER ROOM, UTILITY AREAS, HOME OFFICE, AND DOUBLE GARAGE. A MODEST DEVELOPMENT THAT IS NEAR THE VIBRANT PART OF THE TOURIST VILLAGE AND YET A PRIVATE ESCAPE.
