Derived from Ukio concept brief and layout intent.

Elevated on slender steel stilts, Ukio adapts to slopes, rocky terrain, and snow-prone sites while improving airflow and views.

The plan is organized for efficiency: a view-facing lounge, compact dining/work zone, clean kitchen line, and a private bedroom area that preserves flow.

Natural oak floors, soft timber panels, acoustic fabric, and a durable stone-look counter create a warm, matte palette that ages gracefully.

Layout at a Glance

Lounge facing the view, compact dining/work area, streamlined kitchen, private bedroom zone, and a discreet bathroom layout.
