JURAKURO
Located in Nishijin, Kyoto, JURAKURO is a mixed-use project that include both residential apartment and a hotel. Street in this area used to be lined with Kyoto’s Old townhouse where traditional waving industry flourished. There are only a few old townhouses remain, and most of the recent apartment building in this area doesn’t seem contribute to surrounding scenery while their façade is the only element to follow the landscape regulation. In this project, we considered how this architecture (JURAKURO) could be part of the surrounding neighbors, as well as contributing to create Kyoto’s landscape in the present day.
