京都威斯汀酒店创立于130年前，是一家有着傲人历史和优雅气质的酒店。它坐落在京都东山区的山脚下，今天的主建筑和佳水园（Kasui-en）别馆分别建成于1960年和1959年，均是由村野藤吾设计。
本项目旨在对酒店的婚礼教堂进行翻新和抗震改造，强调优雅与品质的并存。教堂占据了酒店区域内的一座独立建筑，其极具原创性的设计意在传达“京都新精神”，同时致力于满足当代人对于婚礼形式日益多样化的需求：除了传统的教堂典礼外，还可以提供神社仪式或非宗教性的仪式。
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. 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.

项目开始于2018年，经历了2年的设计和建造过程。设计团队尽可能地利用了既有的建筑框架，并在此基础上融入了传统神社和寺庙建筑的元素。新置入的木质天花格栅结合了间接照明，营造出阳光从枝叶间透过般的光影和渐变效果。重新设计的窗户移除了竖框，提高了通透性，从而增强了教堂与后方树林的联系。明亮的光线照在天然的石墙上，使外部环境与室内空间进一步融合。
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. 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.

墙壁上的木质百叶营造出空间的深度和节奏感：一方面通过与天花板格栅相连来连统一个空间；另一方面也确保了教堂所需的高品质和静谧的声音环境。
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.

空间设计着力于通过材料本身来营造氛围。经过染色和防火处理的上等雪松木搭配以小豆岛生产的未经打磨的花岗岩，创造出精致与粗犷的对比。最终，酒店教堂成为了一个充满传统日式之美、同时又充分尊重其所在的丰富自然环境的神圣空间。
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.
