Kawamichiya Kosho-An Restaurant
“KAWAMICHIYA" is a soba restaurant in Kyoto with a history of over 300 years. This is the new store of "KAWAMICHIYA KOHSHO-AN", which is "KAWAMICHIYA"'s become a goodwill partner.
We renovated a 110-year-old townhouse in downtown Kyoto. Originally it looked like a townhouse with an elaborate design, but various modifications were made for living, and those designs were hidden or destroyed.
Therefore, we tried to restore the elements of the townhouse, such as hidden or lost design windows and alcoves and add new geometry to them to revive them as a new store.
