Relocated amidst the majestic nature of Niseko, LUPICIA’s new headquarters features a circular plan and courtyard framing views of Mt. Yotei and Niseko Annupuri. This design creates a cohesive “one-room” space that fosters continuity between the interior and exterior. The hybrid structure, utilizing local Hokkaido larch CLT and glulam, achieves a rational and eco-friendly architecture adapted to the region’s heavy snowfall and environmental conditions. By providing diverse spaces where people encounter the landscape, the project realizes a next-generation hybrid workplace that inspires creativity.
