Award winner |

| Roof of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Kyoto |
 |
|
 |
| Applicant: GANTAN BEAUTY INDUSTRY CO., LTD. |

Reason for selection:
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Kyoto is located near the Nijo-Ohashi Bridge crossing
the Kamogawa River in Kyoto and creates an extremely refined atmosphere
where modernity and tradition fuse.
Kyoto, with 17 world heritage sites, has strict landscape ordinances regulating
the heights and designs of buildings. Against this background, the Hotel’s
Roof is patterned after Japan’s traditional building technique of Sukiya-construction
and the ferritic SUS445J2 sand-blasted provides a “matt-looking finish”.
The rectilinear roof and eave with horizontally-laid panels blend nicely
in the landscape facing thirty mountains of Higashiyama, harmonize with
the townscape of Kyoto and are well appreciated by hotel guests and strollers.The parties concerned worked and succeeded in sandblasting the ferritic
roofing stainless steel of 0.4 mm in thickness, which had been previously
deemed difficult, and in meeting requirements of various parties including
the owner, designer and builder. The parties have contributed in providing
the Hotel with flavors of genuine Japanese architecture to match the city
of Kyoto. |
