About Grand Gate Hiroshima フードホールのインテリアデザイン
グランドゲート広島は、広島JPビルディングの2階に位置し、歩行者デッキで広島駅と直結するフードホールです。660平方メートルの空間には6店舗が7つのエリアに配置され、間仕切りを極力設けないオープンなコンセプトを採用しています。各店舗はそれぞれ独自の個性を備えながらも、全体としては統一感のある構成を生み出しています。プランニングは太田川デルタの形状に着想を得ており、来訪者を自然に各店舗ゾーンへと導きます。テラゾー、樹脂、貝殻といった素材は、この地域の玉石や川、海を想起させます。

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Directly connected by pedestrian walkways to Hiroshima station (In Japan), this Food Hall consists of 6 Stores, spread over 660sq.m. The space is separated into 7 areas with an open concept. Each shop and space are designed with a unique character but regardless, the whole space is an unified harmony mimicking that of the city of Hiroshima.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The unity of the 660sq.m. Space was created by an open concept with the least number of partitions possible. The 6 stores and 7 sections were separated via shelfing and other furniture like counters. Bakery and merchandise were placed at the beginning of the Hall to ease the entrance of the customers, while the VIP zone and more relaxed spaces were placed at the back.

- Production Technology
- The materials used in each shop and every piece of furniture were selected with the specific purpose to reflect and resemble the essence of Hiroshima city. The Terrazzo used for the countertop of the bakery at the entrance mirror the pebbles of the creeks found in the Hiroshima mountains. The resin used in the craft beer store is meant to remind one of the shimmers of the rivers and sea. The use of shells in the counter of the Chefs table are expression of the nature of Hiroshima etc.
- Design Challenge
- The client request included not only story and concept design, but enhanced value and uniqueness of the Hall. We had to create not just a Food Hall, but something unprecedented. The result was a special and unique composition of fine dining, new operation style and enhanced experience which includes even a DJ booth.
- Research
- The research was focused on luxury restaurants and popular evening places mainly in Tokyo. The idea was to bring to Hiroshima a unique and unprecedented experience in the form of this Food Hall. In addition to the above, we also focused on the history of Hiroshima since its foundation and its culture since the postwar period to the present day. All of this was used as motifs for the design, creating a blueprint unique to Hiroshima.
- Inspiration
- The cityscape of Hiroshima is shaped largely by the Ota River that has flown through it since antient times. The concept of the river delta was therefore our main inspiration. The goal of the layout and shape of the space was to imitate the delta, naturally drawing customers to the retail zones like the flow of the river.
- Project Duration
- Design work began in October 2022, while construction began in March 2023 in Hiroshima city. The Hall is located on the second floor of Hiroshima JP Building which was finally connected (in 2025) by a deck to Hiroshima station.
- Operation Flow
- The whole space is built to respect and connect with the nature and history of the city. The interior finishes include Stone, shells, and many other materials reminiscent of the local nature and charm and create a calming atmosphere. The concept of the food hall is that the customers can enjoy the variety of all the restaurants without changing places. The merchandising area includes not only local goods and products, but from all around Japan, so local customers can enjoy and feel the variety.
