Casa BRUTUS / 312

The cover is of the Gifu Imperial Hotel Kyoto Gifu, which just opened on March 5.

The theatrical architecture of the Kaei Kaikan, a registered national tangible cultural property in Gion-cho, Kyoto.
Converted into a hotel inheriting his appearance and memories.

A major operation was to demolish and rebuild the south wall of the entrance and the west wall facing the L-shaped Hanami-koji Street, and the rest of them were removed. From the terrace of the Imperial Suite, you can see up close the tower house that was the external feature of the Kuei Kaikan

The interior design was Tomoyuki KAMITA of the New Materials Research Institute, and Hiroshi Sugimoto selected some of the artwork in the building.
