For the first NOT A HOTEL residence in the Tokyo area, NIGO has provided full creative direction for the entire experience, from the overall concept to the smallest details. The house is built into a cliff top overlooking the ocean off of Tokyo Bay, with a direct view of Mt. Fuji from the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows. Located on the coast of Futtsu, Chiba, the home is around 45 mins from Haneda Airport and one hour by car from Tokyo Station.

Owners drive straight into the house through a tunnel. The furniture in the living room and office includes vintage pieces from Jean Prouvé and Pierre Jeanneret, two of NIGO’s favorite designers. There is a dining table for twelve guests, and a full kitchen, including a prep area for chefs to prepare gourmet meals. There is a listening room with speakers from New York’s innovative OJAS. Joining owners in the pool is a giant inflatable duck — the famed icon of NIGO’s brand HUMAN MADE. Guests can stay in the multiple bedrooms as well as in sleeping pods identical to those in NIGO’s own personal vacation home. There is a sauna, gym, and wooden Japanese bath. And inspired by NIGO’s deep involvement in the world of Japanese pottery, the house has a proper traditional tea room ready for sadō tea ceremony.
