To understand the meaning of this place, one must journey to an island deep into the dense thickets of mountainous Japanese forests, take in the crisp, fresh air, and listen to the rustling leaves and the chirping of birds.

In Japanese mythology, "kodama" is the spirit of a tree, its very essence, which can leave its trunk to watch over the forests and maintain nature's balance, sometimes even taking human form.

The site is situated on an elevated plane near the ocean, surrounded by dense forest and towering mountains. The concept strictly rules out deforestation, gently weaving the new structure into the existing environment. Ponds serve as the focal point of the landscaped area. The villa's placement is dictated by the natural slope: the terrain is carefully balanced, opening up scenic viewpoints toward the ocean, forest, and pond.

The villa's facade materials are selected based on the principle of being "borrowed from nature." The building seems to grow out of the earth, with the materials themselves mimicking the surrounding landscape: the glass reflects the calm water surface, the columns mirror the rocky cliffs, and the roof resembles tree bark.
