借景 (Shakkei) Soga: A Brand-New Custom Home in Niseko
This brand-new custom home, named Shakkei, is inspired by the Kyoto concept of “borrowed landscape,” a design philosophy in which architecture and nature are seamlessly integrated to enhance beauty, balance, and serenity. Masterfully designed by renowned Sapporo architectural firm Akasaka Atelier, this elegant alpine retreat blends refined aesthetics with everyday practicality and is ready for immediate move-in.
The home offers outstanding energy efficiency, with insulation approximately 2.5 times thicker than standard construction, along with double- and triple-glazed windows throughout. Comfort is assured year-round with underfloor heating on both the first and second floors, hot and cool air conditioning, and road heating in the driveway and entrance. A brand-new snowblower is also included. Shakkei’s exterior features striking cedar siding, while the interior is appointed with premium Scandinavian BoConcept furnishings. A fully equipped, custom-designed kitchen provides both functionality and style for everyday living and entertaining.
The residence comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an indoor garage offering direct access to a spacious ski and dry room. Additional features include generous owner storage, a fully equipped laundry and linen room, and a luxurious master suite complete with a custom bathroom and walk-in closet. Set amid tranquil forest surroundings between Hirafu and Niseko Village, Shakkei enjoys quick access to ski slopes and captivating views of Mt. Yotei and Mt. Annupuri.
