The appearance is Kyoto Express the character with contemporary design

—— First of all, please tell us about the concept of the appearance.

Kumashiro: "Shijo Kawaramachi About 150 meters south from the intersection Kawaramachi Erected facing the street GOOD NATURE STATION The site of is exactly Kyoto It has a slender shape like a townhouse. What building should be built there? We, Kyoto While respecting the image of the city's historical and traditional culture, I wanted to express it with contemporary sensibility. "

—— Specifically, at what point does it appear?

Kumashiro: "The aluminum cast panel used in the upper part of the facade (the front of the building). A grid that can be seen in traditional Kyomachiya etc. by adding an accent by combining horizontal panels to a panel that extends vertically. On the other hand, the low-rise part where customers come in and out is finished so that the texture of handwork like plasterer wall remains.It looks stylish when you look away, but as you get closer to the building A warm atmosphere Kyoto I think you can feel the taste of Japanese

Kumayo: “Yes. There are many ingredients on the first floor. market And there is a dining room where you can eat a menu using the ingredients.

—— What points have been devised for the second and third floors?

Kumashiro: "The gastronomy floor on the second floor is lined with restaurants that will open with a strong commitment. The chefs, of course, have everything from the food, to the interior, tables, chairs and plates. In order to create the view of the world through the production of a total, I thought that the common use department did not have to stand out so much that the individuality of each store could be maximized. Kyoto In the image of the back alley in the town of, it has become a calm and calm space. By doing this, I try to increase the excitement when I enter the restaurant. "

[3rd floor] From the connecting corridor to Kashiwajimaya to a seamless large space

Kumashiro: "The third floor is a rejuvenation-themed floor lined with salons and yoga studios. Characteristically, there is no partition wall like a general commercial facility, but the whole floor is connected.

When you come from the Kashiwajima shop through the corridor, there is a patisserie studio in front. This area is based on black and it feels like going through a tunnel. The small windows are continuous, and the situation in the studio can be seen little by little. And when I go through the tunnel, I get out on a bright and spacious floor. I would like you to enjoy such space production too "

[4th to 9th floor] Wall greening to decorate a throughhole like "Tsuboniwa"

—— The 4th to 9th floors are hotels. How does the space presentation change?

A typical hotel structure is a corridor in the middle, with rooms on either side. However, at GOOD NATURE HOTEL, there are two open spaces in the center of the floor, and the structure is such that the square-shaped corridor continues. By greening the wall in this atrium, you can enjoy the green wall wherever you are on the 4th-9th floors. ''

—— It's unusual to see large wall greening indoors.

Kumashiro: "Yes, first of all, the long and narrow grounds of this building Kyoto It is similar to that of a townhouse, but it is also regarded as a Tsuboniwa often seen in townhouses. Wall greening is often done outside the building, but in this case it can not be seen without entering the hotel. Such a sense of depth, Kyoto It is one of the production conscious of the character. in this way, GOOD NATURE STATION In, we are performing the space composition and presentation according to the characteristics of each floor.
