A Head Start on Building

Over the past year, the current owner has worked with TAIGA to develop a four-bedroom residence specifically designed for Lot G. The architectural plans are complete, most of the related project fees have already been paid, and the building application has been submitted.

For a purchaser who wishes to proceed with the proposed residence, much of the initial design and planning work is already in place. This could shorten the overall process by approximately 12 to 18 months compared with starting a new project, which can be a significant consideration in Niseko, where construction schedules and contractor availability can lead to longer timelines.

Contemporary Japanese Architecture

The proposed residence brings together contemporary architecture and traditional Japanese influences. Broad eaves define the exterior, while the floor plan provides generous spaces for gathering alongside quieter private areas for family and guests.

The upper level is conceived as a quiet, lantern-like retreat and includes:

• Master bedroom with ensuite
• Japanese tatami room
• Dedicated 10 sqm dry room
• Internal garage

The lower level is designed around entertaining, relaxation and its connection to the surrounding forest, featuring:

• Expansive living area centred around a fireplace
• Generous kitchen and dining zone
• Terraces opening toward the woodland
• Two additional ensuite bedrooms
• Private sauna
• Genuine onsen hot-spring bath with secluded forest views

Flexibility for the Future

Lot G can also be acquired as land without proceeding with the proposed residence. This gives purchasers the freedom to reinterpret the site and create a home entirely around their own vision.

For those considering an alternative design, the existing architectural package remains a valuable piece of due diligence, demonstrating the development potential of the site and providing insight into what can be achieved.
