Mini Galaxy Japanese Restaurant

Press Kit

Unique Properties

This project is designed with a focus of the illusion of the vaulted ceiling. The division of the levels creates an aesthetic layered look by alternating between varying heights, and enhances the architecture by balancing the ratio of vertical and horizontal lines in the layout. The vertical lines of the pendant lights are complemented by a ring shaped grille, which acts as the visual centerpiece of the place. This arrangement introduces an intriguing play of lights and shadows that invigorate the entire interior, resembling the disposition of starry skies.

Dimensions & Packaging

A scenic view is retained both inside and outside the facade of the store front. This area is furnished with plants of varying heights and chairs for resting like a garden patio, creating the layered effect of a scene within a scene, visible from both sides of the glass. The separation achieved by the double-layered transparent facade promotes energy-saving for air conditioning.

Production Technology

The elegant wooden surfaces are contrasted against the rugged conventional spaces in this restaurant; the skillful combination of the simplicity of concrete and the delicacy of natural wood broadens the perception of the space and enhance the ambiance.

Design Challenge

This project is a restaurant designed with a focus of the illusion of the vaulted ceiling, which is broken up into multiple sections by the visually jarring nature of the large beam in the center. The division of the levels creates an aesthetic layered look by alternating between varying heights, and enhances the architecture by balancing the ratio of vertical and horizontal lines in the layout.

Project Duration

This project is located in Tao-yuan, Taiwan. It is designed from April, 2019, constructed from June, 2019, and completed in the end of July.

Operation Flow

The entire ceiling of the dining area extends diagonally upwards out of the window to establish a line of direction, creating the visual effect of height and openness, as if the room is embracing the skies outside the window. With the extraordinary scenery and light, the atmosphere lifts the luminosity to the clouds.

Research

A panoramic view is expressed both inside and outside the facade of the storefront. This area is furnished with plants of layering heights and patio chairs, creating a picture-in-picture garden effect, visible from both sides of the glass. The separation achieved by the double-layered transparent facade promotes energy-saving air conditioning.

Inspiration

Fleeting moments in time leave behind traces on every inch of the walls, separating the ceiling and ground. Vertical lines that illuminate in the light transform into a starry sky with brilliant sparkles, brightening up the entire interior.
