Gakuroku Suien

History
It was relocated from the southern shore of Lake Kawaguchi 200 years ago, so the material should be much older than that. The house has a silkworm room on the second floor and stables.
Although it has been cared for, the house has reached the time of large-scale repairs that would be difficult with maintenance alone. That’s when the owner asked Noriko, the director of the Curation hotel association, to step in.

Architecture
The shape and materials of the roof, overhanging eaves, thick pillars and beams, and the timber framing of the ceiling make this a valuable cultural heritage site that clearly shows the architectural style unique to this region.
The house has been renovated and remodeled in three phases to achieve the function of renting the entire building.
In the LDK, we have created a double-height atrium space while carefully preserving the beams and pillars.

Interior
The design inspiration is the architecture and the garden itself. The monotone contrast between the plastered wall, the wooden part, and the green gradation is beautiful. It repeats in every room of this garden-surround house.
When I saw this house’s appearance, I felt nothing more was needed, so I used it as the design concept.
You can experience a rich space colored with expressive fabrics and Japanese paper, created in collaboration with excellent local workshops.

Art
We have All the historical art on the screens has been handed down from generations in this house.
We provided art-direction service with the works of contemporary artists to create a modern setting that goes beyond tradition.
