2022 Seikado gallery / 清課堂ギャラリー

■明暗と高低
創業180年を超える錫・銀製品を製造・販売する店舗の改修。
1階に工房を新設し、奥の蔵・茶室・ギャラリーを常設展示できるように再整備した。

典型的な鰻の寝床状の敷地に建つ既存建物を初めて訪れた人は、奥にこんな空間があっったのか！と驚く。
入口の店舗を越えて奥に進むと、明るい坪庭を通って、座敷・茶室・蔵といった照度を落とした空間に繋がっている。
その明暗と天井高の高低のリズムの構造がこの建築の魅力だと捉え、それを増強するように、要望された用途の空間を仕上げた。

日中の路地奥の暗さ、坪庭の明るさといった、京町屋の良さをギャラリーとして常時経験できる空間となっている。

Refurbishment of a shop producing and selling tin and silver products, which has been in business for over 180 years.
A new workshop was inserted on the ground floor, and the storehouse, tea room and gallery at the rear were reorganised for permanent exhibition.

Visitors to the existing building, which stands on a long and narrow site, are surprised to find such a space in the back. Beyond the shop at the entrance, visitors go through a bright inner garden, a Japanese-style room, a tea room and a storehouse which praise of shadows .
The rhythm of the light and dark and the high and low ceilings is seen as the charm of this architecture, and the spaces for the requested uses were finished in such a way as to enhance this.

The refurbished space can be experienced at all times as galleries where the qualities of a Kyoto machiya, such as the darkness of the pathway in the daytime and the brightness of the inner garden.
