About the Project

Overview A multi-year renewal project for Kyoto Porta, a commercial facility directly connected to Kyoto Station. In 2022, the dining west area will be designed with three themes in mind: "Kyoto Streets," "Kyoto Residences," and "Kyoto Gardens," creating a dining experience that can be enjoyed by both local customers and Tourism. In addition, Environmental Design of the south area will be renewed, especially around the entrance and escalators, to coincide with the first anniversary of the integration with the adjacent commercial facility THE CUBE. Based on the concept of "shiki oriori," the space expresses the rich colors of Kyoto's four seasons and the traditional way of enjoying Kyoto by incorporating them into everyday life.
Issues/Themes As a commercial facility located at Kyoto Station, the gateway to Kyoto, it aims to play a role in promoting Kyoto's culture and four seasons.
By expressing the "real Kyoto" in the space, we aim to create a facility that will be enjoyed not only by Tourism from Japan and abroad, but also by local customers.
Space Solution/Realization In the west dining area, the shoshinboku (Japanese log) in the center of the atrium is made from Kitayama logs, a traditional Kyoto industry, and Spatial Production is used to change the color of the branches and leaves on the ceiling depending on the season and time. In addition, with the cooperation of Ueyakato Landscape Co., Ltd., a long-established Kyoto landscaping company, natural stone is used to create a Kyoto garden on the floor. We created an atrium space where people can take a break, meet up, or get takeout while feeling the changes of the four seasons in Kyoto. In the south area, we created a light folding screen that changes its appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed, with colors reflected by light on pure white Tango crepe, creating a fashion area where people of all ages can enjoy shopping.
