京都威斯汀都酒店教堂改造

京都威斯汀宫古酒店成立于130年前，是一家拥有傲人历史的优雅酒店，坐落在京都东山地区的山脚下；现在的主楼和春水园附属建筑都是由东乡村野设计的，分别于1960年和1959年完工。在这次大修和抗震改造中，位于酒店内的独立建筑，结婚礼堂也同样体现了优雅和品质。

Founded 130 years ago, the Westin Miyako Kyoto is an elegant hotel with a proud history nestled into the foothills of the city’s Higashiyama district; the present main building and Kasui-en Annex were both designed by Togo Murano and completed in 1960 and 1959 respectively. The same elegance and quality were essential in this major renovation and earthquake retrofit of the wedding chapel, which occupies a separate building on the hotel property.

为了表现 "京都的新精神"，这个具有高度原创性的礼拜堂能够满足当代新人日益多样化的婚礼风格，不仅包括传统的教堂仪式，还包括神道和非宗教仪式。在2018年开始的两年项目中，我们尽可能地利用了现有的框架，同时也融入了传统神社和寺庙建筑的元素，增加了木质天花板格子，与间接照明交织在一起，让人联想到阳光从树枝上倾泻而下，并突出了光线穿过多层格子时产生的阴影和渐变之美。

Intended to express “the new spirit of Kyoto,” the highly original chapel is able to accommodate the increasingly diverse range of wedding styles sought by contemporary couples, including not only conventional church ceremonies but also Shinto and non-religious ceremonies. Over the course of the two-year project that began in 2018, we utilized as much of the existing framework as possible while also incorporating elements of traditional shrine and temple architecture, adding a wooden ceiling lattice interwoven with indirect lighting that evokes sunlight pouring through the branches of trees and highlights the beauty of the shadows and gradations that are created as light falls through the multi-layered lattice.

我们还通过重新设计窗户来加强与建筑背后的树林的联系，去除窗帘，增加透明度，并将阳光照射在天然石墙上，以将外部空间引入室内。墙面上的木质百叶营造出一种深度和节奏感，既通过与天花板上的格子相连，将整个空间串联起来，又保证了教堂所需的高品质、宁静的回声。

We also strengthened the connection with the woods behind the building by redesigning the windows to remove mullions and increase transparency, as well as by shining a sunny light on the natural-stone wall in order to bring the exterior space into the interior. The wooden louvers on the walls create a sense of depth and rhythm, both tying the entire space together by linking to the ceiling lattice and ensuring the high quality, serene reverberations required in a chapel.

在设计空间的过程中，我们非常重视材料本身所营造的氛围，通过使用经过染色和防火处理的上等雪松木制品和产自庄户岛山地的未抛光花岗岩，表现出精致与力量的对比，结果是打造了一个充满了传统的日本美学和对其丰富的自然环境的深刻尊重的神圣空间。  

In designing the space, we valued the atmosphere created by materials themselves, expressing the contrast between delicacy and strength through the use of fine cedar woodwork that has been stained and fire-proofed, and unpolished granite from the mountains of Shodoshima. The result is a sacred space imbued with traditional Japanese aesthetics and deep respect for its abundant natural surroundings.
