"SUMIHEI" is a ryokan (Japanese hotel) established 150 years ago in Kyotango, Kyoto. The separated cottages we designed in 2010 for them have been constantly popular and it is hard to book during the busy season, so the client has decided to build new buildings for the customers.
For this construction, we have built 3 new buildings; lobby building with a lounge and the family hot spring, north building and south building with 2 guest rooms in each building. Every room has different artwork of Tango Chirimen textile on the bedroom back wall based on the name of each room.
