shinichi ogawa & associates‘ seaside villa features a 264 sqm deck, with the capacity of hosting numerous events for various functions. each of the six individual boxed rooms connect to the large palm-tree decorated patio. the far-end of the pool holds an additional sun-bathing patio that partitions itself from the sandy shore through a foundational stone wall. designboom has previously featured other projects by shinichi ogawa, including a 150-meter-long weekend house and a single storey ‘minimalist house‘ in japan. see our full archive here.
