Contemporary Villas on Remote Japanese Island Built Using an Ancient Construction Technique
Perched on the hills of Sagishima, a remote island in Japan, three luxury villas fuse Scandinavian and Japanese design in a way that appears totally at home in the surrounding landscape. Each structure was built from soil sourced directly on-site and carved into the island’s hilly terrain. The project is called NOT A HOTEL Setouchi and was designed by Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).
