St.Bernardus
is a name of a brewery that is still making an imprint in the history of
Belgium beer. Since the beer made in this brewery has unique deep taste,
enchanting the hearts of critics and connoisseurs of beer, export of this beer
is implored from all over the world. A brasserie named after such a famous brewery is open here in
"Tokyo" for the first time in the world.
The
concept of this brasserie is "a bar designed along with brewery." It
is a place one can casually enjoy everyday events, such as meal and drinking
parties, cherishing the Belgium culture and history of brewery.
Therefore,
the brasserie, as a whole, is built in the image of old shop in Belgium,
additional buildings made a little by little, showing a sense of historical
background. It is built by the technique of fixing the slight blurs arose from
designs consisting of various intentions.
First,
the kitchen and the space for beer server are open space. Taking advantage of
the height of the ceiling, a loft is built in the upper part of the kitchen
where it is visible from every seat. The display of beer crates and empty
barrels produces miscellaneous prosperity with abundant inventories of brewery.
Moreover, chairs, chandeliers, posters and labels decorated on the wall are all
antiques bought in Belgium, and its presence and art of reproducing Belgium
culture add beauty to the atmosphere of the brasserie.
Thus, irregular prosperity is everywhere inlaid in a
good sense, and on the other hand, the designs penetrating through the brasserie,
such as patterns found on the floor and band of light treated in the open
kitchen, gives a feeling of unification to the brasserie, and creates
comfortable feeling of cleanliness and identity.
The
design of arch outlined by the continuous wooden plates in the upper part of
facade is imitated from the design used in the warehouse of brewery, and it also
plays the role in creating mental structure of this brasserie while expressing
respects to ones who make the beer.
