A single family home with an amazing view of Mount Yotei
Kabayama House was designed to be minimalistic and simple in form for the purpose of shedding the heavy snow fall that is received in the famous Niseko ski resort area.

Background
Program
The client requested STE-AD to design a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home with a garage, snow room (for removing ski and snowboarding gear) and living/dining area capturing the amazing view to Mount Yotei. The home will be let for part of the year and so it must also meet the code requirements for an innkeeper’s license.
Site
The site has a prime location as it is accessible to the road by two sides. While narrow, the site is situated to take advantage of the picturesque view to Mount Yotei to the South East and also to the Niseko Annupuri International Ski Area to the North West.
The Design
An iconic extrusion floating above articulated volumes
Kabayama house is composed of an iconic extrusion, with its sleek lines and familiar design, floating above articulated volumes that make up the various programmatic elements of the ground floor.
Materials
The exterior facade of Kabayama House features grey-stained Cedar Timber slats, stone cladding, and insulated glass window walls with brushed stainless steel at the perimeter.
‘The interior utilizes materials akin to those of the exterior, extending the stone cladding from the entrance wall into the foyer. Natural cedar cladding serves as a striking contrast to the exterior’s grey stain, while various tiled areas complement these materials.’
