Il Design

Informazioni su Kyotology Hotel

Il libro "In Praise of Shadows" di Junichiro Tanizaki e la ricerca sui comportamenti dei viaggiatori a Kyoto hanno costituito la base di questo progetto. Tanizaki ha affermato che i giapponesi hanno privilegiato le ombre rispetto alla luce nel corso della storia, il che ha portato all'architettura tradizionale giapponese caratterizzata dall'intreccio tra esterno e interno. La ricerca ha dimostrato che i viaggiatori a Kyoto sono molto interessati alla sua cultura e storia, pertanto il team ha definito "Unwind and Explore" come concept e ha creato un hotel in cui gli ospiti sono incoraggiati ad apprendere, sperimentare e rilassarsi.

Proprietà Uniche: As the number of hotel rooms had increased 400% since 2012, majorities are focused more on its capacity which did not have the local culture nor history. Therefore we felt an urge to create a place where tourists can experience traditional accommodation of Kyoto. The hotel initiates the local economic system by attracting curious users. Intertwining exterior and interior especially placing the inner garden in every room makes this brand established.
Dimensioni e Confezionamento: Width 24053mm x Depth 10090mm
Site area: 295.04sqm
Total floor space: 485.11sqm
Tag: Kyoto, garden, Shadow, architecture, heritage, local economy
Tecnologia di Produzione: Vertical lines that are created by standing seam roofs emphasize changing shadows during the day. High edge roof end is a symbol of Sukiyazukuri style which is a common style for a building exclusively used for a Japanese tea ceremony. We surveyed neighbors’ window levels to avoid direct eye contact between users and neighbors. By adjusting window placements from neighbors, users could feel secure and private while staying in the guest rooms.
Sfida Progettuale: It is common for a government to set landscape regulations to maintain the historical view of the city, and Kyoto city also sets various and precise rules mainly for color of facade, height of the building and usage of the balcony/rooftop. Since Kyoto city added more rules to the regulations while we were planning, we were forced to be flexible and let go of some of the design details. Architectural regulation made it really difficult to place the inner garden; we had to think carefully about balancing between architectural structure, livable environment for plants in the garden, and comfort of the guests.
Ricerca: First of all, our R&D team researched about the history of the site and Kyoto. The area around the site was located close to Zen temple, and it has been left out from urban development of the city. Volume of travellers in Kyoto, popular tourist attractions, travelling patterns and many more elements were researched. Secondly, we visited the site and the former owner. The owner used to live at the site with his family for generations in a classical Japanese style house with a well-maintained garden. As soon as we saw the original site, we knew that we had to keep the original vibes. Thirdly, the team visited local shops and restaurants to look for potential partnerships. Since the hotel is not equipped with a kitchen, it was necessary to provide food for hotel guests from nearby restaurants.
Ispirazione: In the book "In Praise of Shadows" Tanizaki stated the conceptual base of Japanese architectural beauty lies in shadows. Japanese cherish shadows over the history of its cultural development, and we translate its concept into modern architecture. By intertwining exterior and interior, and garden and concrete, shadows began to shine. Another inspiration was the local people who were eager to reactivate the local economy by collaborating with the local designers, constructors, and shop owners.
Durata del Progetto: The project started in January 2018 in Kyoto and Tokyo Japan.
Flusso Operativo: As soon as the guest arrive, they go through Noren at the gate to enter the site before entering the building which used to mean that they are entring a commercial space. The guests walk through lobby/lounge area, then they proceed to the front desk to check in. After check in, they proceed to the corridor lightened up with dim traditional lantern shaped room signs.
