The Cocooning Kyomachiya
Living as if in a burrow
In this intimate space, instead of a sense of confinement, you will find calm and comfort. Its compactness offers not restriction, but a gentle sense of security.
Every material was carefully chosen for its texture and matte finish, with subdued colors that create an atmosphere of warmth and quietude.
Passing through a narrow tunnel-like alley, you are welcomed by rows of Kyomachiya on either side, a setting that embodies the very essence of Kyoto’s “Roji” alleyways. Approaching the house feels like retreating inward, and in harmony with this location, the residence itself is designed to provide peace and comfort within a minimal living space.
The compactness here is not a limitation but a form of embrace. Natural materials with soft, non-reflective finishes and low-saturation tones come together to craft a serene, cocoon-like environment - a life wrapped in calm, as if sheltered in a cave.
From the entrance through the hallway, walls and ceilings are finished in earthen plaster, inviting the warmth of natural textures. Arched detailing on doors leading to the washroom and corridor adds a sense of softness, like stepping into a small grotto.
The bathroom, seamlessly connected to the wash area, is enveloped in soft indirect lighting, creating a tranquil, soothing mood. With dimming features, the space can be adjusted to suit your relaxation time, whether you prefer gentle light or a quiet retreat in the glow of minimal illumination.
間取図
Through thoughtful renovation, this compact Kyomachiya has been transformed into a space that feels both expansive and enriched. Once, a “large home” was a symbol of affluence. Today, however, true richness may lie in a home that enables a lifestyle unique to yourself.
On the 1st floor, the layout gathers the bedroom and all water facilities - bathroom, washroom, and toilet - into one area for ease of living. Upstairs, a large window by the kitchen and a sloped ceiling create vertical openness and visual spaciousness, giving the interior a bright and airy atmosphere.
This home is ideal not only as a residence for a single occupant but also as a second home or an investment property.

地域情報
The Senbon-Nakadachiuri district, where Senbon Street with its lively shopping arcade intersects with Nakadachiuri Street and the Kitano Shopping Arcade, once bustled with artisans during the golden era of Nishijin textiles. While slightly removed from Kyoto’s major tourist sites, this neighborhood still preserves the nostalgic charm of a traditional downtown atmosphere, where history and culture blend seamlessly into daily life.
Both supermarkets and specialty shops line the arcades, making everyday shopping convenient. Whether doing your daily groceries at the supermarket or selecting special ingredients from long-established stores, this area offers a rich variety of culinary choices, adding flavor and character to everyday living.
