Interior Design
The Gate Hotel design draws inspiration from the original Rissei Elementary School building, with a contemporary overlay. Built in 1928, its façade is synonymous with architecture from the Taisho era, characterized by many as a romantic, euphoric period of cultural creativity. As a result of the country opening up to western influences and technologies, the building is a product and fusion of Western design rooted in tradition. Rissei Elementary School stands as a symbol of Japan’s modernity, both in its construction (as the first building in Kyoto to use reinforced concrete) and its function (as a public school). Our contemporary design celebrates this rich, storied history by deriving inspiration from original features, textures and colours.
