Drawn to Japan by its unique culture and his hunger for knowledge, this well-travelled architect Riccardo Tossani is still mining design manna from his wanderlust<\/p>\n

\"\"
When Tossani first began building in the region, he was something of a maverick in this regard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At an age when most students are searching for direction, Riccardo Tossani was already a fully practicing architect. It was the 1980s and concepts like a holistic approach to urban design and sustainability had yet to fully permeate the mainstream, but they were already exuding a powerful influence on the Australian architecture student.<\/p>\n

By the time he sat for his graduation at the University of Adelaide in his early twenties, he already had a thriving practice that showed signs of the ethos that would go on to define an illustrious career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was still in my early twenties, but with a desire to do two things: one, expand my mind beyond the idea of architecture as just a way to create a building,\u201d Tossani recalls. \u201cI wanted to understand the resonance between built form and the environment that surrounds it.\u201d<\/p>\n

To better do so, Tossani embarked on a grand Australian tradition: the walkabout. His travels carried him throughout Southeast Asia and China. The year was 1984 and the latter had only just opened to foreign travellers. Tossani traversed the nation on slow, coal-powered trains and was awed by what he saw. While the architecture of Australia was, in a global sense, relatively new, the Chinese cities he saw bore visible traces of generations of political and social upheaval.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my travels, I discovered cities that were the product of their various dynasties culminating in the revolutionary architecture infused with Soviet influence and ultimately exhibiting a desire to become international in their stature,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cI discovered that I could read the history of a city through its buildings the way one reads sheet music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tossani would go on to settle and work in Florence, where his family roots lie, and gain an even deeper appreciation for the impact of history on urban spaces. By the time he was 30, he had enrolled in the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he graduated top of his class. He built a flourishing practice in Los Angeles along with his partner, Atsuko Itoda. While the two could easily have stayed in the United States, Tossani found himself drawn back east.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was fascinated by the elements of Japanese culture that gave rise to Metabolism and brutalism and contemporary minimalism and wanted to better understand it all,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cI thought, \u2018Maybe if I spent six months in Japan I\u2019ll figure it out.\u2019 Long story short, I probably understand less now about Japan than I did then.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1997, Tossani and Itoda founded Riccardo Tossani Architecture in Tokyo and the rest is history. The duo quickly realised that Japan offered opportunities to fully realise ambitious projects far faster than they could ever hope to achieve in the west. The combination of Japan\u2019s building frenzy, and a mutual love and respect for the culture has kept them based there ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my travels I discovered that I could read the history of a city through its buildings the way one reads sheet music\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cTokyo in the 1980s and the 1990s was just a crucible of fashion and music and graphic and design,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cThere was a new nightclub opening every week. This is a very sophisticated culture. The complexity and idiosyncratic nature of this society are beyond understanding and that makes it so much more interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Tossani and his multinational team of architects have projects all over the globe, much of their focus in recent years has centered on the burgeoning luxury ski resort area of Niseko. Tossani\u2019s projects are especially noteworthy both for their attention to sustainable design and for the way that they echo and accentuate the region\u2019s breathtaking natural splendour.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t really think about environmental design without thinking about energy sustainability and cultural sustainability,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cThere was a growing understanding in the profession that architecture had to enhance the cultural environment and the natural environment and respect the diminishing resources of the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Tossani first began building in the region, he was something of a maverick in this regard. The authorities were so quick to encourage development projects and generate revenue that little thought was given to the potential lasting negative impacts. Tossani spent years advocating to preserve as much of the natural landscapes as possible. As locals began to realise what was being destroyed by irresponsible construction, there was a mass rebellion.<\/p>\n

Today, Niseko\u2019s approach to development adheres far more closely to the one Tossani has always held. There\u2019s a powerful belief in the importance of creating buildings that are more than mere structures, but rather an extension and an expression of the utmost respect for their environments.<\/p>\n

R-Residence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a glass building, but it is surrounded by brise soleil and automatic solar blinds, so even though its skin is glass, we\u2019re preventing the sun from penetrating the building in a detrimental way,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cIt\u2019s double-glazed and the whole skin window system of this building is designed to insulate from thermal transfer, and yet allow light and views to be permissible.\u201d The fa\u00e7ade system allows heat to enter in a controlled way, while warming in winter and cooling in summer the entire space with an elegantly concealed system of radiators. \u201cOn top of the roof of this building is a solar farm that produces the amount of energy necessary to make this house over a typical one-year period independent of the grid. This is a classic example of our approach to sustainable design in an urban environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

K-Residence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very large residence and the idea was to create very deep verandahs, which create outdoor protected spaces that are pleasant places to sit in winter even when the snow is falling,\u201d Tossani says. There\u2019s plenty of incentive to want to sit outside, given the unbelievable location. \u201cThe house faces two primary directions, both of which have spectacular views. On one side of the house is the volcano, Yotei, on the other side the illuminated ski mountain. The deep verandahs make it possible to enjoy both. The idiosyncratic, angular columns are a metaphoric gesture to the tree geometry of the local silver birch forests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanaridge Residences 1 + 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cA requirement of this estate was to have pitched roofs with a 13m height limit, so we had to work within this limit to create a prosaic roofline that provided as much ceiling height as possible with views that provided exposure to the volcano,\u201d Tossani says. \u201cRemember, there\u2019s an average of 15 meters of snowfall every winter, so managing the snowfall on the roof in Niseko is serious business.\u201d An indoor and outdoor onsen, both protected from the elements and boasting stunning views, add to the building\u2019s allure. \u201cwe used natural & local materials throughout and we tried to preserve as many trees as possible. We believe in creating light and space by wrapping view-oriented rooms to staircases in glass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corniche Villas<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThese villas are on a cliff edge that drops down into a valley. In order to stay within the generous 22-metre height allowance, and maintain resonance with the 13-metre-high middle village adjacent, we don\u2019t go up, we go down into the river valley, which brings principal rooms closer to a bubbling stream\u2014you can hear it from every room in the house,\u201d Tossani says. Rather than try to cram as many floors into the structures as possible, Tossani opted to make the best use of that vertical drop by designing fewer floors with higher ceilings including impressive 5.5-metre-high ceilings in each of the living rooms, creating a sense of space and light with views of Mount Yotei and the ski mountain. As a bonus, each of the villas comes with a breathtaking outdoor bath.<\/p>\n

Muse Niseko<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to inject as much art as possible into the design,\u201d Tossani says. In the case of Muse Niseko, he included a sculpture of his own creation, as well as custom commissioned works. \u201cThe murals are by Rieko Kawabe, Japan\u2019s premier calligraphy artist, who reinterpreted the indigenous Ainu culture\u2019s script to create something truly spectacular.\u201d Even the building itself feels like a work of art. \u201cIf you look at the skin of Muse, the custom tiles are angled and projected in order to catch the powder snow and cast dynamic shadows,\u201d he says. \u201cA signature of our buildings in Niseko is that our architectural skins are designed to catch the powder and react to snowfall and changing light conditions in a really beautiful way. Micro-shadows shift with the sun as it moves across the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haven Niseko<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNot every building in Hirafu Village has unlimited panoramic views,\u201d Tossani says. When an architect is lucky enough to have access to them, it pays to make the most of them. \u201cWraparound windows highlight the spectacular views, while external landscape lighting accents the surrounding silver birch at night.\u201d \u201cThe site itself has an angular edge to it, which we\u2019ve reflected in the building to create these very dramatic angular living spaces with cantilevered balconies,\u201d he says. \u201cAbundant use of natural materials accentuate the alpine environment without competing with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
