Ginto House 3 | ALT Design and Construction | International Residential Architecture Awards 2025

ALT Design and Construction: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2025. Located in the exclusive Ginto development in Niseko, Ginto Plot 3 builds upon the design typology established by the neighboring Keyaki Villa (another of our design), delivering a home that seamlessly merges Japanese-inspired design with international appeal. This thoughtfully crafted villa offers a perfect balance of tradition, modern luxury, and functionality, making it an exceptional retreat amidst Niseko’s stunning natural surroundings.

The villa’s architectural design embraces a Japanese courtyard concept, creating a serene focal point that divides the home into distinct yet connected spaces. The kitchen and dining areas are positioned on one side of the courtyard, while the living room and bedrooms occupy the opposite wing, ensuring both privacy and a sense of flow.

Every bedroom and the living room are oriented to capture breathtaking views of Mount Yotei, while the entertainment space adjacent to the living room adds an element of indulgence, complete with a bar and a hidden whiskey room.

The second floor elevates the sense of luxury with a private spa facing the tranquil forest and a cinema for cozy evenings. The master suite, with its private balcony, expansive ensuite, and spacious walk-in closet, offers unparalleled comfort and panoramic Yotei views.

Surrounded by a manicured garden designed for summer enjoyment, Ginto Plot 3 is a harmonious blend of Japanese elegance and global sophistication.
