A Kyoto store of ISSEY MIYAKE is a renovated project based upon an old traditional Kyoto-style house. How to re-use the old contrasting with the new, without creating something pecluliar, is a crucial point of this interior. Traditional old Kyoto house brightens ISSEY MIYAKE garments here. Design-wise producing old thing that looks new is a key concept of this project. Additional new parts don’t stand out and the whole shows the harmony.
Walls were made of plaster and sumi-ink. Detached “kura” (traditional warehouse) was turned into a gallery. A garden-side big opening of the main building is fully glazed,which fuses the outside and inside of the building.

This restaurant specializes in grill and pasta. Bar, lounge and dining room are fused in one space. The interior is accentuated by different floor levels and lighting under a coherent theme.

Focus

Löyly

(Page 224)



Hernesaari area is a former industrial area on the Helsinki sea shore that will be built into a residential area. New use is developed for the area already now while waiting for the future change. Traditional sauna is developed into an easy-going undulating building that is more part of the future coastal park than a conventional building. Interesting views open up to city centre and even to open sea between wooden lamellas. The whole building forms also an outdoor auditorium for the future marine sports centre's activities on the sea. Löyly offers foreign visitors a public all year round sauna experience - a must when visiting Finland.
