Jinakachi anchors a singular hotel room along the Kuniga Coast in Shimane, Japan, reworked by Amane Architects within the long-standing Kuga-so property. The project turns a south-east corner room into a deliberate viewpoint over the Shimamae Inland Sea, giving guests an immediate encounter with wind, water, and the grazing grasslands that define this island setting. Architecture here acts as a lens rather than a spectacle.

Villa Zai stands on a cliff in Phuket, Thailand, oriented wide to the Andaman Sea and shaped by IDIN Architects as a rarefied nine-room hotel. Conceived for full buyout stays, it serves private groups and wedding parties who want guest rooms, ceremony settings, and shared amenities held together in one focused address. Every move responds to those social rhythms, from the signature suite to the sky-tuned interiors that track the day’s changing light.
