<Concept>
We created a residence where "light and wind" circulate, reflecting the beautiful changing seasons of Karuizawa. The open living/dining/kitchen area is about 24 tatami mats in size and has a stairwell. The sunlight pours in from the large windows on the south side, enveloping the entire room. The sunlight creates different shadows at different times of the day, bringing a rich color to the living space.

For a villa in Karuizawa, it is important to have "sun exposure" and "humidity control"
Karuizawa has a 90% chance of sunny days in winter!
Sunlight is important for life at an altitude of 1,000m
Good exposure to sunlight helps to combat the summer humidity and winter cold that are unique to Karuizawa. This allows moisture to escape and keeps the house dry and mold-free, and it also provides warmth during the day in winter without relying on heating. With a location, layout, and insulation that efficiently captures sunlight, we offer homes that allow you to enjoy a warm winter life in Karuizawa, even without heating during the day.
The average annual humidity in Karuizawa is 80%!
Dense forests also make it difficult for air to circulate.
The average annual humidity in Karuizawa is over 80%. The humidity is especially high from June to October, creating an environment that is conducive to the growth of mold. During this season, you may notice a moldy smell drifting from somewhere around the villas. In summer, the area is poorly ventilated, making it easier for mold to grow. This is why it is essential to take measures against humidity and mold in homes. Also, sunlight does not reach the dense forest, so heating is necessary not only in winter but also in spring, autumn, day and night.
The "Airpass Solar Method" is suitable for the humid Karuizawa region.
"Sunny warmth" without worrying about humidity or condensation
Airpass's winter mode lets the warmth of the sun into the house and collects solar heat on the roof and walls, creating airflow within the walls. It completely envelops the house in a layer of warm air, and is effective in preventing condensation and mold inside the walls caused by humidity. With an Airpass house, you can use it as a vacation home for long periods without worry! It protects your asset value for the long term.
