About Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki Dizajn enterijera hotela

Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki je hotelski enterijer koji se nalazi u ulici Mijagava-sudži u Kjotu, ulici koja čuva tradicionalni ulični izgled. Dizajn poštuje stroga lokalna pravila o bojama, oblicima i stilovima zgrada. Plan osvetljenja vodi goste od prigušenog svetla na ulazu do svetlijih soba, dok indirektno osvetljenje otkriva teksturu zidova. Vaši papir, izrađen u saradnji sa lokalnim umetnikom za izradu papira, korišćen je na više načina, uključujući obradu kakišibu, uvijanje kojori i slojevito oblaganje fukuro-bari. Cilj je miran i topao prostor za udoban boravak.

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.
