Adrienne and Zealous Wiley are US based Palm Springs designers who fell in love with traditional Japanese houses and are living their dream by purchasing and beautifully renovating a 100-year-old machiya (traditional townhouse) in Kyoto, Japan. This live chat with Adrienne and Zealous gives us insights on their design decisions and steps of renovation as what led them to take on this new lifestyle.

Their journey buying and fixing up a Japanese house started with @shumatsuopost and his team of experts for finding houses and getting the paperwork done. Zealous made this beautiful website of their renovation journey: https://higashiyama-machiya.com/
