项目 – 日本建筑事务所STUDIO ALUC完成了一项令人瞩目的改造项目，将一座有着百年历史的京都町屋改造成"Hotel Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji"精品酒店。这座595平方米的建筑位于东本愿寺御影堂门对面，展现了历史保护与现代设计创新之间的完美平衡。

建筑师最显着的干预是通过连接屋顶将原本分离的东西两翼统一起来，同时保持建筑的历史完整性。STUDIO ALUC没有掩盖建筑在百年间经历的多次改造痕迹，而是刻意突出这些时间的交汇点，创造出他们所描述的"不同时代工艺相遇时呈现出独特的美感与韵味"。

空间布局体现了对传统町屋建筑的深刻理解，同时融入现代奢华设施。西翼保留了原有的土间（传统入口空间），现在与两个精心布置的庭院（坪庭）相连，这些庭院巧妙地解决了传统町屋采光不足的问题，同时创造出室内外空间的私密联系。

项目最独特之处在于其精致的住宿设计。西翼二层设有三间客房，透过樱花可以欣赏到寺院景观，每间都配备了桧木浴缸。东翼则打造了独特的复式客房，横跨二三层，通过传统箪笥楼梯通达。每个房间都融入传统工艺元素，从外露的屋顶梁到用回收材料制作的床之间（装饰性壁龛），创造出真实而奢华的住宿体验。

这项改造的与众不同之处在于它对历史细节的细致关注，同时无缝融入现代舒适需求。主创建筑师龟田淳和佐佐木寛奈创造了一个空间，不仅仅是保护历史，更通过深思熟虑的设计干预让客人能够主动体验历史，架起过去与现在的桥梁。

团队 – STUDIO ALUC 由龟田淳（Jun Kameda）和佐々木寛奈（Hirona Sasaki）于 2020 年创立，是一家独具特色的东京设计事务所，致力于在不同空间尺度上无缝融合概念开发与实际执行。该事务所的理念围绕在当代社会中探索人类体验与空间真实性之间的本质关系。

STUDIO ALUC 采用全面的设计方法，涵盖产品与家具设计、室内建筑、景观规划等多个领域，其作品涉及商业空间、酒店、住宅项目及展览设计等。其方法论兼顾理性分析与感官体验的精准平衡，并常与跨学科专业人士合作，包括建筑师、景观设计师和摄影师，以实现整体化的设计解决方案。

在创立 STUDIO ALUC 之前，两位创始人曾在 TONERICO:INC. 深耕多年，他们的作品屡获国际认可，其中 “sisu” 项目荣获 2023 年 A' Design Award 铜奖及 iF 设计奖。近期的荣誉彰显了 STUDIO ALUC 在当代日本设计领域的崭露头角，而其最新的酒店项目——Nazuna京都东本愿寺酒店，则充分展现了他们以当代设计手法敏感诠释历史背景的能力。

Project - Japanese architecture firm STUDIO ALUC has completed an exquisite renovation of a 100-year-old machiya in Kyoto, transforming the traditional townhouse into Hotel Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji. The 595-square-meter project, situated opposite the historic Mikage-do Gate of Higashi Honganji Temple, exemplifies a masterful balance between preservation and contemporary design innovation.

The architects' most significant intervention was unifying two previously separate structures – the east and west wings – through a connecting roof while maintaining the building's historical integrity. Rather than concealing the multiple layers of renovation that the building has undergone over its century-long existence, STUDIO ALUC deliberately highlighted these temporal intersections, creating what they describe as "points where carpentry from different eras meet reveal a unique beauty and charm."

The spatial organization reflects a deep understanding of traditional machiya architecture while incorporating modern luxury amenities. The original earthen floor (doma) in the west wing has been preserved and now flows into two carefully positioned courtyard gardens (tsuboniwa) that serve as natural light wells. These courtyards ingeniously solve the typical lighting challenges faced in traditional machiya while creating intimate connections between interior and exterior spaces.

The project's most distinctive feature is its sophisticated accommodation design. The west wing's second floor houses three rooms offering views of the temple through cherry blossoms, each equipped with hinoki cypress baths. The east wing features unique duplex rooms spanning the second and third floors, accessed via traditional tansu (chest of drawers) staircases. Each room incorporates elements of traditional craftsmanship, from exposed roof beams to reclaimed-material tokonoma (decorative alcoves), creating an authentic yet luxurious guest experience.

What sets this renovation apart is its careful attention to historical detail while seamlessly integrating modern comfort requirements. Lead architects Jun Kameda and Hirona Sasaki have created a space that doesn't simply preserve history but allows guests to actively experience it through thoughtful design interventions that bridge past and present.

Design Team - Founded in 2020 by Jun Kameda and Hirona Sasaki, STUDIO ALUC has established itself as a distinctive Tokyo-based design practice that seamlessly integrates concept development and execution across various spatial scales. The firm's philosophy centers on discovering the essential relationships between human experience and spatial authenticity in contemporary society.

The studio's comprehensive approach spans from product and furniture design to interior architecture and landscape planning, with their portfolio encompassing commercial spaces, hospitality venues, residential projects, and exhibition design. Their methodology is characterized by a meticulous balance between rational analysis and sensory experience, often collaborating with cross-disciplinary professionals including architects, landscape designers, and photographers to achieve holistic design solutions.

Prior to establishing STUDIO ALUC, both principals honed their expertise at TONERICO:INC. under the mentorship of industry veterans Hiroshi Yoneya, Ken Kimizuka, and Yumi Masuko. Their work has garnered international recognition, including the 2023 A' Design Award Bronze and iF Design Award for the 'sisu' project. The practice's recent accolades demonstrate their emerging influence in contemporary Japanese design, while their recent hotel project, Hotel Nazuna Kyoto Higashihonganji, exemplifies their ability to sensitively interpret historical contexts through contemporary design interventions.
