COMMERCIAL SPACE WITH TEXTURE

 

When we were commissioned to design a Japanese restaurant, our first thought was that we have not done many commercial facilities. It became a challenge to design a functional yet aesthetic interior. Two main issues were explored. The first was the question of transparency/translucency. We wanted to an atmosphere where the guests can acknowledge each other and yet remain separate. Our solution was the image printed glass partitions. The other issue was the question of tectonics. We wanted to use real stones to differ from other sleek restaurants. The two have merged to form an interesting scape.
