Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA) ha progettato una residenza multi-unità su una montagna che domina la città di Sapporo, in Hokkaidō, Giappone.

Il complesso si sviluppa con un layout orizzontale e le singole unità abitative sono incastonate nella collina e sistemate a forma di gradini, fondendosi così con il paesaggio e la topografia circostanti. Ogni piccola casa è stata posizionata in modo da generare spazi all’aperto e viste sul panorama. Ciò, inoltre, permette alla luce naturale di entrare abbondantemente in tutte le residenze.

Le pareti esterne e quelle di contenimento sono state rivestite con tronchi di legno di provenienza locale. Nel tentativo di combinare legno e cemento, infatti. il team ha utilizzato pannelli di legno con corteccia ruvida come casseforme per il calcestruzzo.

Il complesso è composto da più di 15 unità e ognuna di esse ospita un’ampia zone notte, bagno privato con sauna e cucina. Alle varie unità si accede invece tramite una scala esterna centrale.
