With HakuVillas, luxury real estate and vacation rental company H2 Group built four exclusive villas and a three-storey penthouse staffed by personal hosts, butlers, chauffeurs and chefs.<\/p>\n<p>A benign bit of peer pressure led to the conception of the property. HakuVillas built on the success of Hakuchozan, H2 Group\u2019s three-storey, seven-bedroom chalet in Lower Hirafu in Niseko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally had a bunch of friends that loved what we did at Hakuchozan and wanted a similar feeling and similar product for themselves,\u201d says Michael Chen, co-CEO of H2 Group. \u201cBut we couldn\u2019t find it in the market for them to buy from existing products. So we chose to develop a new building to satisfy what my friends were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>H2 Group acquired the 868-square-metre site in 2017, the same year Hakuchozan was built. The site is only 200 metres from the Hirafu gondolas in a highly visible area populated by apr\u00e8s-ski establishments.<\/p>\n<p>Sapporo-based practice Daida Design Studio had already been the architect of record on a building planned for the site when H2 Group acquired the location. \u201cBecause I had a very strong vision for what we wanted to build, I thought it would just be easier to go with the same architect and have them redo the plans based on the direction that we wanted to go,\u201d explains Chen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34589\" style=\"width: 8256px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34589 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"8256\" height=\"5504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1.jpg 8256w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200227-158-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 8256px) 100vw, 8256px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">HakuVillas features private onsens, accentuated by natural stones and supported by strong concrete floor plates, in every unit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aside from its prime location, the plot was chosen for its views of Mount Yotei, the cone-shaped stratovolcano with more than a passing resemblance to Mount Fuji down south. The volcano majestically rises on the east while the Hirafu ski resort lies on the west.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt that it was important to make the space float in this landscape that flows from east to west,\u201d says Tsukasa Daida, lead architect of the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than being conscious of the six-star standard, we were strongly conscious of being comfortable and being able to have a unique experience here,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Japan has strict building regulations in areas near ski resorts. This made Daida\u2019s work especially challenging, especially in terms of complying with building coverage ratios, height restrictions, and setbacks.<\/p>\n<p>In observance of these rules, the built area became smaller. Every unit was subsequently designed to take up an entire floor, obviating the need for common areas such as corridors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted the feeling of expansiveness and wanted to be able to put in multiple experiences within the floor plate,\u201d says Chen. \u201cRather than waste a lot of space with stairwells and circulation, I came up with the idea of having full-floor villas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>H2 Group wanted owners to not only have all the floor to themselves but also the best possible views of Mount Yotei. The team rotated the building so it would not be parallel to the road.<\/p>\n<p>The building orientation gives occupants a face-on view of Mount Yotei. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls were incorporated into the fa\u00e7ade, creating a curtain wall fronting the volcano.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34583\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200110-289-web-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interiors were expressed as multiple entertaining areas, giving residents and guests varying experiences in interconnected but independent spaces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Construction started in 2018. In a first for Niseko, HakuVillas was practically built offsite with precast or prestressed reinforced concrete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis allowed us to create the slabs even during the winter season,\u201d says Chen. \u201cMost of the concrete buildings here are poured onsite versus having the slabs formed and made in a factory. And this meant we actually got the structure of the building up in about two weeks. It was like an erector set.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pillars, beams, and similar structures were made thin and flat so they would not interfere with the east-west views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe building is pre-tensioned with PC steel wire, so it has a very slim structure,\u201d adds Daida.<\/p>\n<p>HakuVillas is, according to H2 Group, made to be a \u201cperfect fusion of the precision of Japanese design with western alpine warmth and tonality.\u201d Woods with warm tones were selected for the villas and penthouse, each unit featuring a wood-burning fireplace and private onsen.<\/p>\n<p>The logistics that went into procuring some of the timber were thorny. Some of the dining tables and bars required wooden slabs that were up to 900 millimetres thick and weighed 600 kilograms. \u201cFinding trees of that size was difficult,\u201d says Chen. \u201cSo, we sourced monkey pod wood from Thailand that had to be kiln dried and then shipped over.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34585\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34585\" style=\"width: 8226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"8226\" height=\"5484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit.jpg 8226w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-612-Edit-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 8226px) 100vw, 8226px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A multi-level super penthouse crowns HakuVillas, a condotel where private butlers and reputable chefs are at residents\u2019 beck and call<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cFinding bars that were curved the right shape was challenging as well,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Wood, concrete, and glass\u2014all are easy to topple in Ring of Fire countries like Japan if builders are not careful. But Chen realised early on just how strong the building was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen half the building was up, I was standing on the third or fourth floor and talking to the engineer. And I made a joke,\u201d he says. \u201cI said, \u2018What if we got an earthquake right now? Would this withstand an earthquake? Because they hadn\u2019t pulled tight the cables yet. Then the engineer thought about it, talked to his boss, came back, and said it should be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, an earthquake rocked Niseko. \u201cAnd the building stood up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same snow that draws wintersports enthusiasts to Niseko can be relentless at times. \u201cIn dealing with snow, we listen to the know-how we have cultivated as an architect in a snowy country and the opinions of local residents, and reflect these in our designs,\u201d says Daida.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve had many billionaires who\u2019ve stayed in all sorts of places around the world come in and walk through our property and just say, \u2018Wow, wow, wow, wow.\u2019 and that gives you a great feeling<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That said, the volcanic nature of the land is responsible for one of the property\u2019s most enduring value propositions: the onsen. H2 Group invested \u201cquite a bit of money\u201d in drilling for onsen water, recounts Chen. \u201cWe were successful in getting a very high-quality onsen well, which produces a lot of heat. And because of the level of heat it produces, we were then able to install a heat transfer system for heating the building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chen took inspiration from Yugokorotei, a local onsen famed for its outdoor bath. \u201cI wanted to sort of recreate that feeling in HakuVillas,\u201d says Chen. \u201cWe wanted the onsen to be extremely natural, so we placed natural boulders to create the onsen as if you were walking through the woods and stumbling on a hot spring.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34587\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34587\" style=\"width: 8229px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"8229\" height=\"5486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit.jpg 8229w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GCP-200226-666-Edit-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 8229px) 100vw, 8229px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Set near the Hirafu gondolas, the plot was chosen for its scenic perspectives of Mt.
