【Kyoto · Saiin】Tradition Meets Performance: Revitalizing a Historic Roof

How we tackle the "freezing winters and sweltering summers" of traditional Kyoto houses by blending high-standard insulation with historic timber charm.

Stop Just "Dealing With It" Every Winter and Summer

We all love Kyoto’s vibe, but let’s be real: if you live in an old house here, the seasons can be brutal. You’re usually either shivering through bone-chilling winters or sweating through that thick, humid summer air. Most people just accept it as part of the "old house experience."

But it doesn't have to be that way.

We’re currently at a big milestone for our Saiin project—getting the roof insulation done. This isn't just about adding some padding to the ceiling; it's about finally fixing that "living in a fridge/oven" problem. To us, this is more than construction—it’s about making sure your home actually feels like a sanctuary where you can finally relax.
