世界観光都市ランキングで必ず上位に入り、多くの観光客が集まる京都で長年求められてきた、ラグジュアリーホテルの整備プロジェクト。57室のホテルレジデンスを含む180室の客室を有する。
京都の歴史的景観を保全し、敷地内に残る800年以上の歴史を有する庭園「積翠園」を活かすため、行政や事業主との多くの協議と、客室配置や平面形状の検討を重ね、鍵形の平面形状に至った。これにより各客室は多様な眺望をもち、宿泊客は、ここでしか味わえない京都の魅力を享受できる。また、高さ制限があることから、地上部の階高を3150㎜とし、275㎜のフラットスラブを採用することで、梁型のない空間として客室の天井を最大限高くするよう計画した。建築の内外に、日本建築の様式や素材を取り入れながらも、どこかしら新しさを感じ取ることのできる、"JAPANESQUE（日本らしさ）"を実現することにも成功した。
This is the long-anticipated luxury hotel project in Kyoto, a city which constantly ranked high among the world's most visited cities that has attracted many tourists. The hotel has 180 rooms, including 57 hotel residences.
In order to preserve the historical landscape of Kyoto and make use of "Shakusuien," a garden that has more than 800 years of history that has existed on the site, many consultations were made with the local authorities and business owners, and the layout and floor plans of the guest rooms were studied before arriving at a staggered floor plan. As a result, each guestroom is afforded a variety of views, allowing guests to enjoy the unique charm of Kyoto that can only be experienced here. Because there is a building height restriction, the floor-to-floor height is set at 3,150mm and a 275mm thick flat slab is used to create a space without beams to maximize the ceiling height of the guestrooms. The project has succeeded in realizing a "Japanesque" contemporary atmosphere while at the same time incorporating the styles and materials of traditional Japanese architecture inside and outside the building.
