Let’s start your renovation journey in Japan
Every home starts with a conversation. Whether you’re thinking about buying in Japan or you’re ready to begin a renovation, we’d be glad to hear what you have in mind.
Chalk Lane focuses on high-end interior architecture and renovations for considered homeowners and investors across Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, Shiga and further afield. Many of our clients are based in Japan, Australia, Singapore or overseas, and we regularly work with English-speaking expats who appreciate a blend of Western design thinking and Japanese craftsmanship.
If you have ideas, early plans or even just a rough vision of the kind of home you want to create, reach out. We’ll talk through what’s realistic, outline likely timelines and budgets, and give you a clear understanding of how the design and renovation process works here in Japan.
Book a Consultation
We offer in-person meetings at our studio in Takashima, Shiga, or online consultations for clients living in other regions or overseas.
