The Design

About Fishes Migrating Sushi Restaurant

Fishes Migrating is the interior design of a sushi restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan, covering 178 square meters. The design moves away from the dark tones common in Japanese restaurants and creates a bright and modern space. Circular acrylic sheets in several tangerine tones cover the wall surfaces and suggest the image of migrating fish. The sushi counter is placed in the central area and encloses the existing columns, so the cooking can be seen from every seat. Bar stools, dining tables and booths serve different group sizes.

Production Technology: The remaining space, consequently, is decorated with the wine cabinets. The rectangle seats around the sushi counter delineate the dining seats on both sides, the excellent space arrangements concurrently integrating the entire space and making the exquisite cooking skills appreciable wherever customers sit, thus making this design plan unique as well.
Design Challenge: The rest room decorated with the sky blue and living green wall manifests the enlivening impression. The entire bright and comfortable dining atmosphere, here, changes the general impression to the Japanese-style sushi restaurant.
Research: The tangerine bar stools at the sushi counter consistently correspond to the color of salmon roe. The left dining area is decorated with the gray seats. The curved lines of booths, in the rear area, disclose the clear-cut and smooth attractions. The diverse dining ambiences integrate the multiple design styles and space functions.
Inspiration: As the sunlight filtering through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright space seems to announce that: Please come in and savor tasty foods.
The lower height of window sills makes the indoor space have a great view to the tree shaded road. The given architectural structure of big columns and shafts in the central area in the building makes the renovation plan more difficult, which inspired the designer to build the sushi counter in the central area, and to enclose the original columns
Project Duration: The project finished in February 2019, locates in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The separated kitchen and sushi counter make smoother the traffic flow. The front wall of kitchen decorated with the Hydrofluoric acid etching glass manifests the delicate opaque and reflective textures. As a whole, the tall cabinets, golden ceiling lamps and front wall of kitchen expose the exquisite charms. The dining area composed of the bar stools for individual customer and for two as a group, the dining tables with multiple seats and the booths easily meet all customers’ needs.
