About Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki Hotela Interna Dezajno

Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki estas hotela interno situanta ĉe Miyagawa-suji, strato en Kioto kiu konservas tradician stratbildon. La dezajno sekvas la striktajn lokajn regulojn pri konstruaĵaj koloroj, formoj kaj stiloj. La lumiga plano gvidas gastojn de malhela lumo ĉe la enirejo al pli helaj ĉambroj, kaj nerekta lumigado malkaŝas la teksturon de la muroj. Vaŝi-papero farita kun loka paper-artisto estas uzata plurmaniere, inkluzive de kakishibu-traktado, koyori-tordado kaj fukuro-bari-tavoligado. La celo estas trankvila kaj varma spaco por komfortaj restadoj.

Unique Properties
This facility is located on Miyagawa-suji and features a design that emphasizes harmony with its surroundings. The lighting plan makes full use of materials and cooperation with a local washi paper artist has been designed with local production for local consumption in mind. Kakishibu washi paper and the koyori technique are used to add shading, aiming to create a facility with concern and warmth in the traditional streetscape.

Production Technology
Kyoto has strict regulations in place to protect its traditional landscape, and the colors, shapes and designs of buildings must conform to a prescribed style. We have actively worked to comply with these regulations, incorporating external lighting into the interior of the first floor without any sense of incongruity, and creating a “stillness” and “movement” atmosphere on the second floor, created by Kyoto artisans.
Design Challenge
While overcoming the strict landscape regulations, how can we create a new style without destroying the good image that many people have of Kyoto's machiya? We also carefully considered what kind of measures would be needed to ensure that guests would be comfortable in the hot summers and cold winters.
Research
We held discussions with the Japanese paper artists about colors and construction methods, and solved the problem in a variety of ways. We also reread works such as Junichiro Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, E. Oryong's The Shrinking Japanese Mind and Bruno Taut's Nippon and summarized our way of thinking.
Inspiration
The space has been created to reflect the Japanese aesthetics of drawing in, with the intention of capturing the atmosphere of Miyagawa-cho, Kyoto, inside the room. To change from the dim light upon arrival at the inn to the brightness of the interior, the lighting is based on Junichiro Tanizaki's In ei Raisan. In the guest rooms, indirect lighting is used to accentuate the texture of the walls, and the materials and lighting are carefully selected.
Project Duration
605-0801 4-297-10 Miyagawasuji Higashiyama-ku Kyoto city
Completed on October 26, 2023.
Operation Flow
Design plays an important role in shaping cities. I also think it has a role to play in passing on culture to the next generation. I hope this book will be a chance for many people to learn about the importance of design.
