Unusually rotund and magnificently modern, the Villa Ronde by Ciel Rouge Creation and Henri Gyeundan Architects rises naturally from the sea on Japan‘s coast. This building includes a private museum, a guest house and a resort. The design features a porous front elevation that allows the interior to experience the wind and sun light as well as provide wide views of the surrounding landscape. Cross ventilation is achieved thanks to an inner garden that serves as a convection system in attracting fresh air.
A 40cm thick roof garden, which hosts 500 m2 of solar panels, serves as natural insulation weight addition to blurring the physical top between architecture and landscape. Villa Ronde curls upon itself to provide a large protective wall, dotted with open parts for light coming in and views going out. The meeting place of the home drops in its topography into a private courtyard, accessible from floor-to-ceiling glass doors also curling staircases from above. The position of the guest house provides a grand landscape of the ocean below, while an open courtyard becomes a point of entertainment for occupants and guests alike. The entire roof is accessible, and is covered with 30 cm of earth, lush grass, and plants. The green roof helps cool the interior and save energy, and a built-in watering system keeps it healthy and growing. The top of the building is nearly covered in foliage, from evergreens to grasses, separated visually from the sweeping while lines that represent the home’s framework. This home by Ciel Rouge Creation and Henri Gyeundan Architects is a wonderful achievement, a prime escape from the often over-paced, over-crowded vivacity of Japan’s modern cities.
