About the Project

Overview This project involved converting an existing office building in the prestigious Kyoto Imperial Palace area, located in the heart of Kyoto, one of Japan's most famous Tourism destinations, into a hotel. We were in charge of the exterior and interior design of this condominium-style hotel based on the concept of "living like you're living."
Issues/Themes How can we differentiate ourselves from other hotels in the Kyoto Station area, where there is a lot of competition for accommodation facilities? Also, how can we create a comfortable place for mid- to long-term stays, where guests can stay as if they were living there?
Space Solution/Realization Based on the keyword "Like living," we held repeated discussions with the business owner to consider the layout of the beds, dining room furnishings, and the placement of the raised floor and small courtyard garden. We created a guest room space that allows guests to experience living in Kyoto. We also tried new things such as introducing a "therapeutic room" (hot spring mist bath) to allow guests to experience a more comfortable "lifestyle."
