“Practicability and durability are the foundations of any property design and development. 
Without these, design is nothing but the self-satisfaction of the architect.”

Shigeru Uehara
Niseko Home Design, Director

Shigeru Uehara graduated from Chuo University, Tokyo in 1989 before moving to Portland, Oregon to further pursue and develop his skills.  He then commenced his career as a builder in 1992 for Cross Pacific before attaining his Japanese architect and builder’s license.  It was then that he realised his passion for combining strong Western structures with contemporary Japanese design and established Niseko Home Design in 2006.  Since then he has been applying his design and building skills to a number of varied projects. 

Uehara is one of the few in the industry who is equipped with not only architectural design expertise but also building qualifications to ensure that each project delivers total aesthetical and structural strength. 
He oversees all aspects of the design and construction process, utilizing local Japanese industry partners who are experienced with the unique environmental demands of Niseko.

Niseko Home Design is recognized as delivering unique, high quality works, each of which are thoughtfully designed and constructed to reflect the lifestyles of their owners and their natural surroundings.
