Renovated Kyoto Machiya in Shimogyo Ward
This is a fully renovated Kyoto townhouse (machiya) located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. Records indicate that a structure has stood on this site since 1893 (Meiji 26). The renovation has preserved the traditional atmosphere while modernizing the interior. The theme of the renovation is "ai" (indigo), inspired by the way denim fabric develops character over time. The design aims to allow residents to enjoy the deepening patina and charm of the property as they live in it.
