Mio Path of Water Vacation House

Architecture

Mio Path of Water is a vacation house designed for the rainy coastal climate of Yakushima, Japan. Guests arrive under a covered entrance and pass through a dry rain porch into a living and dining core that faces the ocean. Three bedroom suites branch off as quiet rooms, each with a private bathroom, so groups can share the house without losing privacy. A spa follows a simple loop of sauna, cold plunge, bath and cooling terrace. The structure combines steel with an exposed heavy timber roof, and charred cedar cladding protects the facade.
