HMI House Niseko - Refined Forest Residence in Annupuri

Set within a tranquil pocket of Annupuri’s forest, HMI House is a residence defined by quiet confidence—where architecture is not imposed on nature, but carefully placed within it.

From the moment of arrival, the experience is deliberate.

A discreet approach through the trees reveals a calm, grounded structure. As guests enter, they are gently acknowledged from above—by a second-floor lounge overlooking the entrance, a rare architectural gesture that transforms arrival into a moment of quiet welcome.

Architecture Defined by Volume and Light

Beyond its refined exterior, HMI House reveals an unexpected sense of scale.

• First floor ceiling height reaching up to 2.96m
• Consistent 2.80m ceilings throughout

These proportions create a sense of openness and calm rarely found in forest homes.

Expansive glazing frames layered forest views while maintaining privacy, allowing light to shift naturally throughout the day

A Thoughtfully Composed Layout

The home has been carefully designed to accommodate both privacy and shared living—ideal for multi-generational use or hosting guests.

First Floor — Grounded Living

• A secondary master suite with ensuite, ideal for elderly family members or long-stay guests
• A flexible study room, easily adapted as an additional guest bedroom
• Dedicated ski room and laundry area, directly connected to the garage for seamless winter living
• Main living spaces that open naturally toward the surrounding forest

Second Floor — Elevated Living

• A primary master suite with ensuite, connected to an optional private terrace oriented toward Mt. Yotei
• Two additional ensuite bedrooms, each offering privacy and comfort
• Potential for outdoor terrace extensions, enhancing indoor-outdoor living

At the center of this level is the home’s most distinctive space:

The upper lounge (labeled “Family Room” on the floor plan)—a quiet reading area overlooking the entrance below, creating a rare sense of connection and spatial layering within the home.

Refined Interiors

Interiors are curated with a focus on quality, proportion, and longevity.

Select furnishings have been carefully chosen from Porada, an Italian brand known for its craftsmanship and understated elegance—complementing the architectural language of the home without overwhelming it.

The result is an interior that feels cohesive, warm, and quietly luxurious.

Investment-Ready, Lifestyle-Focused

• Lodging license ready: once registered, the property is eligible for short-term rental use
• Ideal for dual-purpose ownership—private retreat and income-generating asset
• Strong positioning within Annupuri’s demand for design-led accommodation

A Canvas for Further Enhancement

While complete in its current form, the property allows for future lifestyle additions such as:

• A private spa pavilion with sauna and outdoor pool
• A sunken fire lounge and BBQ terrace within the forest

These have been thoughtfully studied to integrate seamlessly with the landscape, remaining optional enhancements to an already complete residence
