Conversion & Hospitality
That building,
carried forward into a place to stay.
From a disused building into a lodging that welcomes guests.
From change-of-use confirmation applications to design and construction, we handle the entire building, end to end.
Before & After
A disused building,
into a stay worth seeking out.
A vacant building, a home that has lost its residents. Even a building that seems to have served its purpose holds a dormant new value as a place to stay. Drawing out that potential is our work.
Our Strength
Creating a lodging, in its entirety.
A change-of-use lodging renovation presents many walls to overcome. Answering every one of them as a single firm — that is our strength.
01
Clearing demanding regulations and permits
Change of use under the Building Standards Act, the Hotel Business Act and Private Lodging Business Act, the Fire Service Act, and each municipality’s ordinances. We overcome the regulatory walls that stand before a conversion with architectural expertise.
02
Design to construction, under one firm
Design by YES archi LAB; construction by YES REFORM Co., Ltd. With a single point of contact, decisions are swift and there is no drift on site.
03
Drawing out the value of old buildings and traditional houses
The character and presence that come with age. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, we honor that expression while reweaving it into the comfort of a place to stay.
04
A lodging of refined design
The material selection and design refined through residential renovation. We create a building with a world of its own — one that makes guests want to return.
Process
From consultation to opening.
