When one arrives at the dining area, the theme of the space comes clear suddenly. The black-grey leading tonal emits a steady vibe and highlights the directions of the lightings, which are all pointed towards various art pieces and cuisines. These effects arent all built up through visual experiences but are also created by hearing senses. Specially set up numerous absorptive materials to avoid sounds being spread out or diffracted. Art decorations are placed behind the itamae as symbols of the beautiful creatures that swim along with the movements and sounds of the sea.

Design Challenge

Vision wise, how to create a personal and steady spatial feeling within an open-end space. Solution: Representative building materials and lighting are set up in the long hallway of the entrance. The open-end space used black and grey colors as divisions while lightings are pointed towards each private space direction. Sound-wise, The echoing sounds are prevented by setting up absorptive materials. To create rough yet textured architectural concrete that embodies the main concept of the space, several experiments have progressed to achieve the perfect balance between the concrete and the cement.

Research

The overall is decorated with blacks and greys, while dark yakisugi bans, rough architectural concrete, and rust oxidated ironware are used to create a simple and peaceful spatial feeling. While equipped with a consistent visual experience, the client collectibles are used as the main decorations of the space. Less is more would be the most representative concept for this project; overmuch elements are eliminated to highlight the main roles, cuisines and art strongly.
