Production Technology
The space follows an open plan so there is almost no wall. The pillar and the surrounding half wall are all covered in marble. All sofas are custom made, and the individual readymade chairs upholstery is matched to them. The counter back installed on the kitchen wall is made as a furniture and covered in a unique three dimensional stainless panels imitating water movement. The counter itself is made using artificial stone and the half wall is covered in glass mosaic tiles.
Design Challenge
Since the design takes place on the fourth floor of an already existing facility, it would have been expansive to remodel the layout of the previous tenant, especially concerning the fire sprinklers. Therefore, the design had to exploit the same space configuration to deliver an otherwise already complicated combination of a luxury cafe and a sports bar. Placing the monitors necessary to modern sports bar was also a difficult task as it had a heavy impact on the cafe image.
Research
The research in this project was conducted to find out a way to combine the two different types of hospitality spaces in just one without altering one another, and to anchor the space within its context and surrounding. How can we integrate a luxury cafe and a sports bar in a unique space that serves both purposes. The materiality was also big part of the project research as it had a consequent impact on the general atmosphere.
Inspiration
Since the space is aimed to combine several typologies of hospitality establishments, it combines design elements from each kind. The cafe part takes inspiration from luxury hotel lobbies with their colorful sofa and marble finishes. The sports bar aims to reproduce the cinematic effect of the neighboring movie theatre by combining 21 TV screens. And finally, the Bar auto referencing high end cocktail and wine bars.
Project Duration
Project start: October 2020.
Construction start: March 2021.
Project/Construction End: May 2021.

Location: Himeji, Japan.
