Hotel Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji / STUDIO ALUC

"Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji" is a renovation project of a Kyoto townhouse (machiya) that has stood for over 100 years, located on the main street directly in front of the Mikage-do Gate of Higashi Honganji Temple. This machiya consists of two buildings, originally separated into east and west wings, which have now been connected by a roof. The structure bears the marks of numerous renovations over the years, blending old and new elements.
