The Design

About Sho Restauranginredning

Book Text: Sho är en japansk restauranginredning i Kaohsiung, Taiwan, med en yta på 220 kvadratmeter. Designen för vidare andan från Den i Tokyo, som hämtar inspiration från ryotei, ett traditionellt japanskt matställe. Brända cederträplankor och metallbeslag formar huvudentrén. Skiffergolvet påminner om stenen som användes i Den, och tunna spjälverk längs gången suddar ut gränsen mellan ljus och skugga som i en inomhusträdgård. Taket är gjort av taiwanesisk bambu, och sittplatserna tillverkades av hantverkare i Tainan. Den öppna arbetsstationen gör det möjligt för flera kockar att arbeta samtidigt. Projektet färdigställdes i december 2020.

Production Technology
The yakisugi ban at the main entry may seem rough, but on the second look you’ll find that it connects with metal hardware beautifully, carving out a Japanese-garden-like entry in a modern architecture.
Design Challenge
Walking into the room, however, brightness and openness play strong contrast and tell a different narrative. At the ryotei a set of cypress counter lies, separating the space into dining area and working area. The whitewash lime wall and the niches show the essence of the space: simplicity. In a traditional ryotie, the working station is usually small and multilevel. Yet here in Sho, the station in opened up where chefs can work smoothly without bumping into each other. This also fits the new multiplex trend in Japanese cuisine.
Research
The celling is made of bamboos from Taiwan, reforming into a design that reminds the viewers not only subtle impressions of a wooden cabinet but also a sense of modern neatness. The seats with a Nordic style design are customized by craftsmen in Tainan. Different cultures blending in perfectly with each other in Sho, representing the exclusive spirit and the braveness to explore on this land.
Inspiration
True flavor is found in unseasoned food. Chinese writer Hong said in his book Vegetable Roots. However, this concept seems to be more practiced in Japanese cuisine.
Project Duration
The project finished in December 2020 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The slate on floor in intended to remind people of the Oya slates used in Den. Going through the path and then upstairs, thin lattices on the side blur the line between light and shadow. The route from entry to the entrance is an indoor teien experience, which represents the faint ambience in a Japanese garden.
