Ice and Fire is a rental chalet designed for a narrow plot in the Niseko ski resort in Hokkaido, Japan. The two-level holiday home contains a garage, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a Japanese bath, with 220.74 square metres of interior space. Dark metal cladding protects the building from the cold weather, and vertical standing seams run down from the roof. Natural cedar and oak and a fireplace at the core of the living area warm the interior. Balconies, side setbacks and small side windows provide privacy, while the second floor frames views of Mount Yotei.
