Case Study: The Screen Hotel by Stephen Nguyen & Dai Thai

The Screen Hotel

Japan's seventh largest city, Kyoto, is one of the cities that everyone should visit sometime in their life. The Screen Hotel features 13 unique individual rooms. Each of the rooms have their distinct ambiance and design. With a wide variety of rooms available, each will tailor to guests' preferences. http://www.agoda.com/asia/japan/kyoto/the_screen_hotel.html?type=1&site_id=1410012&url=http://www.agoda.com/asia/japan/kyoto/the_screen_hotel.html&tag=502da298-3b1d-46d7-a281-1af2732c26a7&gclid=CL7Xy6DzwKcCFR9NgwodZCmU-A

Lobby

The lobby's design is simplistic. Here, everything at ground level is crisp and is free from busy textures. This is an ideal front desk for check-ins--an ambiance that suits the guests' unarrived presence after their long flight or hectic day. http://www.wallpaper.com/travel/fab-40-the-screen-hotel-kyoto/3825

Room 101

Shoji doors

The main visual element is the hand painted fusuma sliding screens with their ‘night’ and ‘day’ sides. When you come back to your room at night, on the living room side you will see irises which is considered a night flower and somewhat romantic. In the morning, when you wake up, on the bedroom side you will see morning glories, dramatically lit. http://openkyoto.com/accommodation/kyoto-the-screen-hotel.html

Room 102

Room 102 is most definitely a personal favorite. The personal space here plays a role in which formal and refreshing take place in the atmosphere. With either a close friend or dearest, the light dimmers will further connect your relationship. http://www.screen-hotel.jp/en/stay/suite.html

Chöpa tatami half zen mats

Tatami half zen mats are selected for Room 102's lounge area. The choice is reasonable because within this space, there isn't a constant foot-traffic; rather, guests kneel down comfortably on the Japanese styled hand-woven rush grass flooring with fabric border. Now, it may seem an unpleasant idea to be sitting by the table because of coldness. The tatami mats actually absorb heat well. The natural scent the mats give off is also an element of relaxation. The tatami measures 90cm x 90cm; 35 1/2" x 35 1/2" x 2" square. http://www.all-about-teaching-english-in-japan.com/tatamimats.html
