OVERVIEW.
Arashi Hillside Retreat is a contemporary private getaway shaped by openness, calm, and a gentle sense of progression. Designed for a young family seeking light, fresh air, and a more connected daily rhythm, the retreat blends clean modern lines with warm, relaxed living. Set on a sloping hillside site, it explores how architecture can sit naturally with the landscape while keeping the boundary between inside and outside soft and fluid.
The design is organized around a clear guiding move: a linear terrace spine that aligns the main living areas along the view. Wide openings, full-height glazing, and sliding panels stretch the interior toward the outdoors, pulling daylight deep into the plan and supporting natural cross ventilation. A balanced composition of stone, timber, and glass creates a grounded atmosphere minimal in form, yet rich in comfort.
Materials are kept honest and tactile. Natural wood brings warmth, stone and concrete provide stability, and transparent glass maintains openness without losing clarity. Subtle contrasts in texture, paired with integrated built-in elements, add depth while preserving the quiet character of the spaces. From orientation to interior detailing, each choice is made to support a healthier, more effortless living environment.
