Sou Fujimoto completes EARTH, a circular, green-roofed villa that seems to sink into the landscape of Okinawa's remote Ishigaki Island, designed for NOT A HOTEL.
Conceived as an extension of the earth, the 1,500-square-meter retreat is nestled into a 10,000-square-meter coastal site, featuring a curved white form that blends with the terrain.
The architecture of EARTH centers around a shared living-dining space that looks out directly onto an infinity pool blending into the ocean beyond.
‘earth’ accommodates up to ten occupants in its four bedrooms, each framed by full-height, bezel-less glazing.
