The Design

About In Between Octaves 일본 라멘 하우스

서구화된 쇼핑몰에 동양적 요소를 통합한 디자인 프로젝트이다. 전체 공간의 색채 시스템은 주로 화이트와 우드 그레인으로 구성되어 있다. 손으로 쓴 서예 등불들이 배열되어 오픈 키친과 식사 공간을 악보처럼 구획한다. 라멘 셰프들은 잇쇼켄메이(一所懸命)의 정신으로 요리한다. 대기 순간부터 식사를 마칠 때까지, 손님들은 공간에 울려 퍼지는 아름다운 선율처럼 라멘과 츠케멘에 대한 사랑을 표현한다. 음표들은 공간의 악보 사이에서 사운드트랙과 함께 현대적인 일본 공간을 끊임없이 연주한다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: In a westernized shopping mall, we incorporate oriental elements into the space.
Through architectural manipulation technique, a grid sequence is created where the central axis runs through the space, creating a relationship between the new and old parallel axes. An array of hand-written calligraphy lanterns is used to frame the outer kitchen and dining areas like a musical score.
Notes continuously perform the contemporary Japanese space with sound tracks between the spatial scores.
Dimensions & Packaging: Space area 74 square meters
Tags: Isshokenmei, Ramen, Japanese, Japan, 03dimensionsdesign, Octaves, Note, melody, Tsukemen, Issyokemen
Production Technology: We made the following attempts to visualize the spatial atmosphere we want to convey:
1. Open kitchen bar with sliding window
2. Wooden trusses with atmospheric lighting
3. Stainless steel square expanded mesh to add details to the truss facade
4. Facade metal grille and wooden grille
5. Long wall tiles extend against textured white wallpaper
6. Long linear wall washer
7. Handwritten Japanese calligraphy lantern
8. The looming floor-to-ceiling glass
9. Brand logo styling lamp with clear details
Design Challenge: We must complete the construction within 45 days to catch up with the Christmas events in the area where the restaurant is located.
Research: The ramen shop owner insists on using natural ingredients such as pork bones to cook the secret soup every week, in order to let gourmets taste the delicious soup.
The owner told us, when we think back to eating ramen in Japan, we remember how lucky we were to get seats at the counter. The way they shook the noodles, accompanied by their spirited shouts, made us even more excited for the ramen to be served.
How to make this space reflect the focused spirit of ramen chef is our goal.
Inspiration: When we think back to eating ramen in Japan, we remember how lucky we were to get seats at the counter. From there, we could closely observe the ramen artisans meticulously preparing each bowl. The way they shook the noodles, accompanied by their spirited shouts, made us even more excited for the ramen to be served.
Project Duration: The project was designed in October 2022.
The project began construction in November 2022.
The restaurant had a trial operation in December 2022.
The restaurant officially opened in January 2023 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: When customers enter the store, you can observe the ramen chef's preparation process due to the open kitchen. The sound of the ramen chef shaking the noodles and his spirited shouting make people look forward to the ramen being served.
The inner and outer kitchens form an O-shaped circulation line through two food delivery ports, allowing for smooth execution of food preparation, soup making, meal delivery, recycling, and cleaning.
