PRIVATE VILLA IN NANJO, OKINAWA
The house stands on a hill and measures 153 m². There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a toilet on each floor, so when everyone gathers in one place, somewhere else is still free. Through the hall's large windows you look out over the sea by day, and over the lights of the town below at night.
WAYS TO SPEND
Even with 8 of you staying, not everyone has to do the same thing. Sometimes the hours slip by while you watch the sea; other times the house gets lively as you come back from grocery shopping and start cooking.
The house stands on high ground, so you can see the sea from the hall, the café space and the terrace. Once you sit down in a seat with a good view, you stay right there for quite a while.
Café space / sea views from the hall and terrace too
A little rain won't stop you from grilling as planned. People loosely split into those who grill and those who wait, but in the end everyone comes out onto the balcony and gathers around the same fire.
Covered balcony off the living room
On the evening after a day of walking all over, you can warm up slowly and then head straight back to your room to rest.
Ground-floor therapy room
Even if you, the one who invited everyone, don't plan things out, each person settles into a spot they like, and before you know it you're all gathered at the same table again.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Six spaces across two floors, each with its own use, so eight people can spend even a rainy day however they like.
Four bedrooms, split between beds and a tatami room with futons, so eight guests never have to argue over where to sleep.
A table you can actually sit and work at. Early risers and children doing homework both get a quiet spot.
Wide enough to lay out several mats, whether for yoga, for practice, or for children running around.
The roof overhead means you can still grill in light rain, and the tools are all here.
The sauna dome seats one. There is a massage chair in the living room and another in the hall.
The north-facing terrace looks out to sea. Wide enough for all eight, with the breeze coming through.
