The Design

About Monya Interior de restaurante japonés

Monya es un restaurante japonés con una superficie de unos 230 metros cuadrados. La fachada orientada al oeste está formada por altos ventanales de vidrio, por lo que se instaló una celosía de madera muy delgada en toda la superficie para suavizar la intensa luz solar. El interior incluye salas privadas, una barra donde el chef cocina frente a los comensales, un espacio abierto para celebraciones y una terraza junto a un jardín privado. Una de las salas privadas acristaladas puede dividirse en dos mediante una mampara corredera con aislamiento acústico. La celosía brinda privacidad sin necesidad de muros macizos y genera un sereno juego de luces y sombras.

Tags: (Tachikawa、Monya、Japanese food,Cherry blossoms)
Production Technology: The height of the glass windows on the façade is very high　but I installed a very thin wooden grid over the entire surface of the windows.
It can be partially opened with a sliding door.
The glass-enclosed private room has a structure in which a soundproof slide shutter hangs down from the ceiling in the middle, and can be divided into two rooms.
Design Challenge: The client's request was to increase the number of private rooms but increasing the number of private rooms would result in more walls and a very closed and uncomfortable space.
This problem was solved by making heavy use of the traditional Japanese beauty of lattice design.
Research: We are always thinking about what kind of space will make our customers feel comfortable.
On anniversaries we would like you to enjoy your meal slowly feel the changing times and seasons and come to the store with your loved ones.
Inspiration: Since the shape of the site of this shop was a large glass surface in the part facing the west it was necessary to soften the strong sunlight during the day.
The wooden lattice, which is often used in Japanese architecture, is boldly expressed on this surface. The light and shadow of the lattice are beautiful during the day, and the image is calm and elegant at night.
Project Duration: The project started in Tachikawa Tokyo in February 2019 and opened in April 2020.
Operation Flow: Japanese cuisine values the four seasons of Japan and is a very important factor when a cook thinks about how to cook. It has long been inherited that seasonal ingredients are very effective for health so it is also a pleasure for our customers to enjoy the seasonal dishes of the four seasons with their eyes, and the next season. It will lead you to visit again to enjoy the food.
