About Style Kitchen Disseny interior de restaurant

Style Kitchen es un interior de restaurant situat a Kutchan cho, Hokkaido, Japon. L'espaci long e estrech cobrís 785 mètres carrats e es devesit en tres zònas. Lo boès ancian e la pèira prèp de l'entrada crèan una ambient decontractada, mentre que las zònas del fons son mai privadas e tranquillas. Las salas semiprivadas rapèlan las cabanas de nèu tradicionalas, e los lums suspenduts semblan de cristals de nèu. Una cosina dobèrta al centre fa referéncia a la cadena de montanhas d'Annupuri. Los ridèls venon mai escurs cap al fons e melhoran tanben l'isolacion termica.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: With a long and narrow space provided for the design, the decision for the plan was to adopt a gradational design from a casual space near the entrance to a more private and luxury zone at the end. To bring the history and nature of Niseko inside the restaurant, the design includes elements like semi private rooms, reminding traditional snow huts, or building materials reminiscence of a snow glimmer.
Dimensions & Packaging: Spread over 785sq.m., separated into 3 zones, each part is layered with specially designed hardened floors which can withstand the abuse of snow booths and the winter ware. The curtains are double layered to softly absorb the outdoor light. And the deeper one goes toward the back of the restaurant, the darker the color of the curtains becomes, creating a gradually calming space, while at the same time considering the effect of thermal insulation.

Production Technology: A mix of antique wood and stone near the entrance of the restaurant enhances the casual spirit of the space, while the passage leading to the more private spaces is designed to look more sophisticated, reminding one of the images of calming rows of birch trees at night. In the center of the restaurant stands the open kitchen with elements designed to represent the Annupuri mountain range of Niseko, creating a lively atmosphere. Even the pendant lights were designed to resemble snow crystals so that the guests were submerged in the beauty of Niseko snow resort.
Design Challenge: One of the clients requests was to include as much as possible from the culture of Niseko, so many of the artwork was entrusted to Hokkaido artists to convey the charm of the local area to the guests properly. High quality and environmentally appropriate furniture was also achieved by manufacturing them in Hokkaido.
Research: The research was based on snow resorts, restaurants and facilities in Niseko. The goal was to combine not only the different styles of restaurants, but to include the local surroundings as well. It resulted in the creation of a space with many types of seating styles and zones. A lively, entertaining and energized atmosphere, imbued with the charm of Niseko.
Inspiration: The breathtaking natural environment of the Niseko snow resort in Jpan, its long history and unique culture were the basis for this design. The design concept is called All Taste and is an accumulation of experiences of the surroundings brought inside, in addition to an exquisite cuisine.
Project Duration: Design begun in April 2020 and construction begun in August 2021. Operation begun on December 15, 2024. The restaurant is in Kutchan cho, Hokkaido. Infront of the Restaurant stretches the famous Hanazono ski slope and is surrounded by the mountains Yotei and Annupuri.
Operation Flow: The restaurant has 3 zones, some of which can be closed during the low season without creating a cut off feeling. To create connection to the charm of the local nature and history, to create a calming atmosphere, the design includes elements like local wood and stone. An oversized steel pod resembling an old distillation tank is installed over the round bar counter near the entrance. It is a connection to the local industry and history and can even be seen from the ski slopes elevating the interest of the outside passersby.
