現在は希少価値の高い京町屋として認識され、一棟貸しというスタイルで宿泊施設として用途を与えられた空間は既に特別な空間となっており、数少ない人々の記憶のみに留まっています。
それを未来に残すために、私たちは「たわら庵」をより多くの人々訪れ、体感できる、記憶に残る町家を提案します。

This building is currently recognized as a rare and valuable Kyoto machiya, and is used as an accommodation facility in the style of a single building rental. Although it has already acquired a position as a special space, it remains only in the memories of a few people.
In order to preserve this specialness for the future, we propose to transform “Tawara-an” into a memorable machiya that more people can visit and experience.

  • Four elements that make the most of Tawaraya-an's concept of "experience and adjust" - Tawaraya-cho, Kyoto machiya Tawaraya-an, usage, interior furnishings

  • Zoning Plan - The site is an eel bed shape extending long from east to west, with a courtyard between the east and west wings, and a traffic flow plan centered on the street garden. In the east area, a café, a tea ceremony room, and a shade room will be provided to create an everyday space that can be visited by many people. In the west area, we have prepared the "Yang Room, Free Space, and Bedroom," which can be used as an accommodation or rental space, and propose an extraordinary space for specific people. We will create a complex consisting of two buildings interspersed with "experiencing".

  • Sensory area "Sun Room" (Zoning Plan No.7) -The space is accentuated by the artificial light that creates a light and dark effect. The scenery of the courtyard is brought into the interior through the reflection of the glass, and the boxes of light cut through the landscape to create an extraordinary experience. The visual senses, which have the greatest impact on the body, are restricted to create a place where people can admire the flowers, plants, and other natural elements in the garden.  Uses - as a place for Zen meditation, yoga (meditation), a tea ceremony room, a production space for artists, a stage for dancers

  • Sensory area "Shadow Room" (Zoning Plan No.3) -The space is where you can experience the spirit of Zen. The original materials, the height of the ceiling, and the landscape of the garden are stripped down to the bare minimum to sharpen the five senses. In the tokonoma (alcove), remade furniture with modern design is placed to create the value of Japanese furniture that will be used for a long time. Usage - as a place for zazen and yoga (meditation), as a tearoom, as an event space

  • Café area (Zoning Plan No.3) - While maximizing the use of the existing high-quality and atmospheric space, we will create a modern and emotional daily space by adding partial renovations such as flooring, walls, lighting and furniture.

  • Cafe Perth A - The alcove, which is the face of the Japanese-style room with a sense of history everywhere, will be renovated and transformed into a space where artists' works can be displayed, making art accessible to the public. Also, by displaying remade furniture, it becomes a symbol of the space and encourages people to reevaluate the value of reuse.

  • Cafe Perth B - Hard materials such as stainless steel and glass are placed in the space where existing soft materials such as bamboo and wood are used to add a modern feel. The counter seats with a sense of the courtyard do not change the floor level of the customer seats, but the floor level on the kitchen side is lowered to create an open kitchen, unifying the line of sight and providing a comfortable space.

  • Facade daylight view - The facade, fittings, and noren (curtain) are renovated and modern signage is added, while preserving the important exterior elements of the Kyoto machiya. The teahouse facing the road is positioned as an important icon to transmit information to people passing by and visitors as the "face of Tawara-an".

  • Night view of the facade and logo image - To complement the gate, the logo should be in Mincho font with Roman characters for easy recognition.

  • East area - This area is set up as an extension of the teahouse, and will become a modern "place of mise en place" by changing its use to a cafe. A service counter will be placed in front of the existing entrance, seating will be provided on the first and second floors, and the existing water space on the first floor will be removed to make way for a kitchen and counter seating for light meals. The space will be configured to allow line of sight, air, and light to pass from courtyard to courtyard.

  • The first floor, the "Sun Room," brings the scenery of the inner garden into the interior, creating an unusual space for visitors. The second floor has many free spaces that can be used for various purposes, such as bedrooms and exhibition spaces. The second floor has many free spaces that can be used for various purposes such as bedrooms and exhibition spaces.

  • Remade furniture - "Remade chests of drawers and furniture currently used at Tawara-an will be displayed and used" Originally, Japan was a country where people lived without furniture, and it is said that furniture became popular among the common people only after wedding furniture became common in the Edo or Taisho periods. It is said that furniture became popular among the common people in the Edo or Taisho periods, when wedding furniture became common. The chest is made of zelkova and finished with lacquer. The whole process is done by hand. This type of folk craft furniture is popular overseas and is exported, perhaps because of the spirit of arts and crafts. We aim to create a system of upcycling by adding modern design to bring out the charm of the furniture and display it in the cafe, Yin-no-ma and free space as an element to create harmony in the space and make it available for purchase.
