Oriyadate High Ceiling Kyomachiya

House with a pleasant atrium utilizing the structure of a Kyomachiya Townhouse

This property is located in the northern part of Nishijin, where Kyoto's unique culture remains. The structure of the "Oriyadate" Machiya, a form of Machiya unique to Nishijin where weaving flourished, is utilized in this renovated Machiya. Retaining the original space of a Kyomachiya, there is a large atrium in the living room, connecting the Mise and the Misenoma, and a flow line leading to a Tsuboniwa garden. The house is being operated as an inn and is being used beautifully. You can start to live in it immediately.

The exterior retains the Degoshi lattice with an authentic atmosphere of a traditional Machiya. The front Tatami room is separated from the living space and is intended to be used as a guest room, classroom, or office. The living room has a high atrium, a characteristic of the Oriyadate style, and is a pleasant space with sunlight pouring in through a large skylight. Using natural materials that can be enjoyed as they age, this is a house where the residents can create their own lives together with the house. Another feature of the building is its simple design, which gives a different impression depending on what is placed or decorated.
