Hervé Chapelier House Kyoto

Reconstructing a space that preserves the memory of the land, and experiencing the brand's worldview in a Kyoto house

  • The earthen floor area is located right at the entrance on the first floor. Behind the raised area you can see a garden filled with sunlight and a breeze passing through. It evokes the original appearance of a traditional townhouse with depth.

About the Project

Overview Hervé Chapelier, a bag brand that started in Paris, France in 1976, has a store in Kyoto. A three-story wooden house facing the bustling Sanjo Street was renovated to transform the existing building into a store that is uniquely Hervé Chapelier.
Issues/Themes The existing wooden building was 35 years old and had a superficial appearance that reflected its age. The building itself was revitalized by reconstructing it in a straightforward manner that reflected the site and the shape of the building. The aim was to create a space where customers could fully experience the worldview of the brand.
Space Solution/Realization The "machiya style" of Kyoto has been incorporated into the "composition" of the space. The earthen floor continues from the entrance, and at the back of the raised area you can see a garden where light pours in and the breeze passes through. By reconstructing the building based on the wisdom of our predecessors, we have revived the architecture itself and created an appearance that will be loved by guests for a long time, along with the city of Kyoto.
The existing wooden building had many partitions, and we conducted a structural review to convert it into a space suitable for a store. The furnishings and seasonal flowers were carefully styled with a universal and simple design that is in line with the charm of the brand, creating a space that gives the feeling of comfort and the brand's flexible worldview, as if you were visiting Herve Chapelier's house (maison).
