The Design

About Helios Airport Brewery Innenarchitektur eines Brauereipubs

Die Helios Airport Brewery ist der Innenraum eines Brauereipubs in einem Flughafenterminal in Naha, Okinawa. Die Gestaltung ermöglicht es den Gästen, frisch gebrautes Bier direkt neben den vollständig sichtbar aufgestellten Brauanlagen zu genießen. Das Thema ist ein Fabriklabor, und die Grundfarbe ist ein leuchtendes Blau, das dem Meer und Himmel der Region entlehnt ist. Holzoptik-Materialien in mehreren Bereichen schaffen einen ruhigen und natürlichen Raum. Die Fassade besteht aus Stahlplatten mit einer Kunstlackierung in Titanoptik, sodass die plane Oberfläche auch von den unteren Etagen aus sichtbar bleibt. Hinter der Bar steht eine Skulptur aus gebrauchten Fässern.

Unique Properties
This project aimed to create a space unique to the first place in the world where you can drink freshly brewed beer at an airport.

With a base color of helios blue, it has a modern atmosphere like a "laboratory of the near future. The use of wood grain materials in various areas creates a calm and natural space.

In addition, to create a live atmosphere, conscious of the layout so that visitors can drink freshly brewed beer while feeling the brewing machines working right in front of them.
Dimensions & Packaging
The barrel sculpture in the center of the back bar is made from actual barrels used at Helios Brewery.
Barrel sculpture size:
wide 930mm, height 1300mm
The showcase surrounding the barel size:

Production Technology
Visibility from the lower floors had to be cleared.
We therefore applied titanium quenching style art paint to the facade, using steel plates as a base from one end of the store to the other.
The bright titanium color (Helios blue) stands out well against the existing white-based wall surface. In addition, by using steel plates as the base material, a metallic texture with just the right amount of luster was achieved.
The result is a memorable facade that catches the eye from the lower floors.
Design Challenge
Helios Brewery is located at Airport. Airport regulations had to be cleared.
Cleared them one by one, including weight restrictions and disaster prevention facilities. We were not able to create a 3D decoration by regulations. It was necessary to make it flat.
Conception applied titanium art paint to the facade with a steel plate base. The bright titanium color stands out well against the existing white base wall. It gives the building a metallic feel with just the right amount of luster.
Research
Type of Research: Material Development
Research Objectives:To realize a unique Helios blue
Methodology: Hardening, printing and painting of titanium
Data Collection and Research Tools Used : steel plate, titanium, printed paper, paint
Participants: Conception, constructors
Experiments Results : Decided on steel plate base and art paint based on load, accuracy, and price
Insights and impacts, effects of the study in a real phenomenon: The highly visible blue color completed the project, which stands out well from a distance and successfully attracts customers.
Inspiration
Lab Beyond The Blue Wall
An experimental factory behind the blue wall. This project is based on the theme of a "Factory Lab" (beer factory), and through the combination of various materials, Conception aimed to create a space unique to Helios Naha airport Brewery, the first place in the world where you can drink freshly brewed beer at an airport. The base motif is blue, the color that is most pleasing to the eye and naturally draws you in, even from a distance. It's from Okinawa's sea and sky.
Project Duration
This project planning was started Okinawa in April 2022, finished construction in Nov 2022, and opened in Naha Okinawa in Dec 2022.
Operation Flow
The continuous distiller, the machine used to make beer, consists of two parts: a moromi tower and a rectifying tower, with dozens of shelves in the tower. Moromi is fed from the top of the moromi tower, and steam is simultaneously fed from the bottom to the top. The steam removes the volatile components from the heated moromi, which are then cooled and returned to the distillate.
