Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki

Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki is a hotel interior located on Miyagawa-suji, a street in Kyoto that keeps a traditional streetscape. The design follows the strict local rules on building colors, shapes and styles. The lighting plan leads guests from dim light at the entrance to brighter rooms, and indirect lighting reveals the texture of the walls. Washi paper made with a local paper artist is used in several ways, including kakishibu treatment, koyori twisting and fukuro-bari layering. The aim is a calm and warm space for comfortable stays.
