MOKU ISESHIMA

An exclusive auberge on a hidden island

MOKU ISESHIMA is an exclusive auberge for one party per day, set in the rich nature of Ise-Shima. To savor both stay and cuisine, the facility is composed of two buildings: a guest wing and a restaurant wing. In the guest wing near the sea, the infinity pool draws the eye toward the water, and the horizon opens quietly into view. The space is restrained in material and scale, arranged as a backdrop that brings the presence of nature to the fore. The restaurant wing, perched on higher ground, offers counter seats overlooking the bay through the trees, so that the meal itself becomes an encounter with the landscape. The two wings, each with a distinct sense of place, shape contrasting rhythms of stay: time to rest the body, and time to face the scenery.
