In Kyoto's historic Miyagawa-chō, a former primary school building has been transformed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Brewin Design Office into an intimate expression of cultural continuity, craftsmanship and contemporary design. Opening in Spring 2026, Capella Kyoto reimagines the iconic traditional machiya townhouse as a contemplative composition of light and materials that, like the city itself, unfolds through layered thresholds, intimate reveals, and moments of discovery.
