This State Heritage-listed Claremont residence boasts a seamless renovation that combines modern and existing features.

The Federation Arts & Crafts home, originally built in the 1910s, is described as an “uncommon fine representative example” of the period on the State’s heritage register.

The brief for the renovation was to create a new mudroom and scullery addition, convert an unused space into a wine cellar, update all lighting, refurbish all bathrooms, the kitchen and laundry, and install new cabinetry in the bedrooms.

Art, artisans and the fine art of placemaking inspire this new luxury hotel featuring 114 guestrooms and suites, restaurants and a spa, informed by the simplicity and refinement of old Kyoto, nestled at the foot of the breathtakingly scenic Takagamine mountains, and divided by the eternal flow of the Tenjin River.
Situated in northern Kyoto, the Takagamine district has been a haven for artisans since time immemorial and home to some of Japan’s most sublime temples. The beauty and simplicity of Japanese culture pervades the hotel, with inspiration drawn from unlikely places: the gentle sway of bamboo in the wind, the evocative textures of handmade paper, the lustre of exquisite ceramics.
Overlooking spectacular mountain forests amid glades of bamboo, discover interiors conceived as a shared journey informed by people and place, connecting guests with culture and nature at every turn. Guests might imagine themselves as foreign artists living in a Japanese home, amidst authentic artworks and furniture pieces steeped in old Kyoto but selected
