Roaming around Kyoto, walking among the corridors, although the footsteps move, in fact, time and space freeze, let people escape from the present and instantly feel in another world.

The designer integrated the ancient map of Kyoto and the imprint of the ancient Japanese folk house into the home scene to reproduce the style of the century-old city.

Following the century-old elegance of Kyoto's alleys, capturing the intriguing scenery, borrowing Kyoto's unique eaves and steps, interpreting the image of the "corridor", the distant mountains and the threshold outside the window are scattered, like an ink painting, with the daily pace of slowing, each window view is a unique scenery.

The original structure is a rough room, and the kitchen is located in the room**. Inspired by the alleys of Kyoto, the redesign creates an open "verandah" design, with the kitchen and living room connected by venetian blinds.

A Japanese garden landscape is used to create a natural mountain view. Whether it's baking in the kitchen or making tea in the tatami room, the peaceful energy and aromas in the room are naturally transmitted, just like the tranquil atmosphere of the old capital, leaving travelers with fond memories.

Based on the actual situation, the linear elements are emphasized, and the floor extends into a diameter corridor that blends in with the exterior landscape. The ceiling of the intimate area is lowered in height and becomes the core area and direction guide.

In the cutting-edge and precise design language, the lines are more restrained, and the team's usual yin and yang colors are added to contrast with the vintage wood tones to present a looming beauty.

Warm tones in strong light and misty beauty in the sun's shadows, like the unforgettable sight when you first visit Kyoto.

Increase storage space, like Kyoto style, reserved baking area, open transparent layout, create tatami mat area

Upon entering the room, you are immediately greeted by a large column, which has been reduced by hanging wall lamps to reduce the light gray tones of the dining room walls.

At the same time, a traditional Japanese-style house is introduced"Tsuchima"The concept is that the flooring of different materials is staggered as an area of transition between the inside and outside. The cloudy gray interlaces with a slight brown, creating a soft change when the light from the window hits it.

Considering that the line of sight will fall on the side corner of the main wall when entering, a micro-arc is deliberately set at the end of the living room.

When the gaze lingers, the presence of the wall slowly emerges, and under the light color palette, it outlines a looming beauty, and moderately reduces the sense of heaviness.

The vertical iron frame is used as a cabinet, and the ventilation characteristics are used to divide the dining area.

Backed against the kitchen, the sofa creates a humanistic and retro atmosphere through light aluminium blinds and dark walnut, which contrasts with the floor-to-ceiling sofas, while soft downlights bring warm light to the area and create a simple and tranquil atmosphere.

In its original state, the dining room and Japanese-style room are open and barrier-free. A solid wall and double-sided cabinets were installed to provide privacy for occasional visitors and overnight stays, as well as increased storage.

A coffee machine and light kitchen appliances are placed on one side, and the simple linear design eliminates the complex and versatile shape of the back wall.

A 45-centimeter-high tatami mat is erected near the window, and the storage space is expanded, and it seems to extend to the interior of the Japanese-style room.

Divided into two areas by clear glass, the other side is accented with art paint, bringing a subtle reef texture, and the dark and light gray tones make the home calm and sometimes full of life with the shadow of the sun.

Originally, it was planned to separate the kitchen and common area with glass, but wanted to maintain a sense of transparency, so beige aluminium shutters were chosen, inspired by bamboo curtains.

My mother often used a rolling panel in the kitchen, and the horizontal shelves supported by stainless steel pipes above displayed handmade pottery, showing a weightless beauty.

Due to the location of the plumbing, the restrooms had to be set up on the outside, but this creates the form of a bath in the style of a traditional ryan in Kobe and Kyoto, and highlights the beauty of the old era.

The sleeping area in the bedroom is equipped with tall cabinets to store clothes, and some miniature shelves are staggered to place dolls or display objects while maintaining a sense of balance on the countertop.

Since the washrooms are located on the outside, the color scheme needs to be carefully matched. By using the yin and yang tones of the kiln-shaped brick material, a sense of difference is formed, but the color stability is still maintained.

In order to compensate for the limited width of the glass door on the left side and the offset of the position of the sink, the iron plate shelf on the left side was specially designed to increase the space and size of the items.

Ascend two levels of wooden stairs to the tatami height that extends the dining area to the interior. Then, open the double doors with both hands, and you can enter a place with a panoramic view of the distant mountains, as if it is a wooden box suspended in the room, quietly becoming a secret place in the home.
