We transform pre-owned homes and traditional Japanese houses in Northern Shinshu into spaces that make you think, “This is where I want to live.”
That is the essence of HOUSE STYLIST’s design renovation.
Rather than simply making partial repairs or replacing outdated fixtures, we reimagine the entire space from the ground up. By preserving the distinctive structures, materials, and character of older buildings, we create sophisticated interiors tailored to the lifestyles and design sensibilities of international residents in Japan.
Blending the timeless beauty of Japanese design with modern comfort, we create one-of-a-kind homes that reflect your personality, values, and cultural background.
Our goal is not simply to make an old property look new. It is to create a place where you can truly live as yourself.
That is what design renovation means to us.
We begin by carefully considering what we want guests to experience in the space. Working closely with the property owner, we develop a one-of-a-kind concept that combines the authentic character of Japan with the modern comfort sought by international travelers.
Rather than being constrained by the existing walls or floor plan, we rethink the flow of the entire space from the ground up. Our strength lies in bold planning that creates open, inviting living areas and memorable viewpoints designed to leave a lasting impression on guests.
We carefully select natural materials that complement the climate and character of Northern Shinshu, including solid wood, plaster, washi paper, and stone. Our approach combines an unmistakably Japanese aesthetic with the refined, hotel-like quality that international guests expect.
Lighting has a powerful influence on the overall atmosphere of an interior. We create lighting plans that reveal a different character by day and by night, balancing visual impact with a warm, comfortable ambiance. The result is a space guests will naturally want to photograph and share.
Bathrooms and toilets—among the features most valued by international guests—are redesigned with cleanliness, comfort, and refined aesthetics as top priorities. For properties in hot spring areas, we can also propose private indoor baths or traditional hinoki cypress bathtubs.
Winters in Northern Shinshu can be severe, making insulation essential to everyday comfort. By incorporating high-performance insulation and double-glazed windows, we create homes that stay warm and comfortable throughout the colder months. These improvements can also help reduce energy costs and enhance the property’s long-term value.
We also provide design solutions for properties intended for use as guesthouses, vacation rentals, or rental villas. From smooth check-in flow and practical storage planning to easy-to-maintain finishes, we propose renovations designed with day-to-day operations in mind.
Even after the renovation is complete and the property has been handed over, HOUSE STYLIST remains your dedicated point of contact for maintenance and minor repairs. Our reliable aftercare service gives owners living outside the prefecture or overseas the confidence to leave the ongoing care of their property in our hands.
