Set against the backdrop of a beautiful ancient landscape, where land meets sea on the steep slope off the edge of Sagami bay, AMOMA has launched its third residential complex, a project by luxury real estate developer Fuin.
Located merely an hour bullet train-ride from Tokyo and an hour and a half from Haneda International Airport, AMOMA Atami sits nestled within a verdant hillside, offering its residents a calming change in pace from the usual city bustle.
Its construction was realised by highly acclaimed Hong Kong architect André Fu, which is said to be perhaps the truest expression of his creativity to date. Here, traditional architecture blends in perfect harmony with contemporary designs, while the spaces within bring together a sense of retreat and community.
Stepping into the complex is akin to entering an elevated Japanese minka, surrounded by touches of luxury and nature. Comprised of 30 residences of one, two, and three-bedroom villas, including the three-bedroom Estate House — the only original residential building to have been built on the entire site. For this, Fu had restored the site, allowing generations of its architectural tradition to remain, while breathing new life to the building with an invigorating superlative luxury living environment.
A marriage between traditional Japanese architecture and contemporary luxury, each villa is replete with expansive living and dining spaces throughout. A vast terrace, outdoor dining area, and a spectacular swimming pool catches the eye, while the highlight of the convivial spaces is the distinctive oculus windows that affords boundless Zen views of Mother Nature and a rare ornamental pine tree.
Walking into the master bedroom welcomes with a soothing sense of tranquillity, its en suite bathroom is dressed in sumptuous wood and natural marble, featuring an onsen-inspired soaking tub and separate walk-in shower and double vanity.
Just beyond the comfort of the villa, are the restaurants and dining spaces curated by celebrated interior designer Masamichi Katayama and his talented team at iconic studio, Wonderwall, more specifically the confectionary counter. The studio curates an F&B experience that seamlessly merges with Fu’s design sensibility. Furthermore, the AMOMA spa also offers a range of traditional and bespoke spa treatments including facials, beauty treatments and body massage, all of which are services available to residents in the solace of their own villas.
