Sales begin for Sn\u00f8hetta\u2019s mountaintop villa in japan<\/p>\n

NOT A HOTEL<\/strong><\/a> opens sales for fractional ownership of its RUSUTSU location, a 2,574-square-meter villa designed by Sn\u00f8hetta<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0at the summit of Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaid\u014d, Japan. Scheduled to open in spring 2029, the property is the company\u2019s largest to date, offering direct access to Rusutsu\u2019s ski slopes alongside panoramic views of Mount Yotei, often called the Mount Fuji of Hokkaid\u014d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sn\u00f8hetta\u2019s design is guided by the concept of the zenith, the highest point in the sky above a location, which here becomes an architectural metaphor and spatial strategy. The structure is built around a central courtyard<\/strong><\/a>, while the layout shifts between lively communal zones, private rooms, and wellness areas, including a gym, sauna<\/strong><\/a>, and a series of indoor and outdoor baths.<\/p>\n

The team<\/strong> <\/a>at Sn\u00f8hetta forms the villa<\/strong><\/a> from two slender, stacked volumes in reinforced concrete that curve gently toward Mount Yotei, echoing the surrounding mountain ranges and the triangular shape of the site. Inside, a 400-square-meter living-dining space is defined by a suspended chimney and skylights framing the sky, while a lounge above overlooks the volcanic peak. Bathing areas range from an open-air infinity pool to cave-like meditation baths carved in stone. Upstairs, a primary suite and three guest rooms each feature private bathrooms, while a dedicated ski lounge connects directly to the slopes with space for equipment storage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Set within Shikotsu-T\u014dya National Park, Rusutsu Resort is located about 90 minutes from Sapporo\u2019s New Chitose Airport. Receiving an average of 14 meters of snowfall annually, the resort is recognized among Japan\u2019s leading ski destinations, with 37 runs across three mountains. Beyond winter, the mountaintop site of NOT A HOTEL RUSUTSU is designed to embrace shifting seasonal landscapes, from green summer expanses to horizons veiled in clouds.<\/p>\n
