As is often the case with interior design, it is easy to complete within itself, but how do we make the connection to outside. I hope it should have deep structure of space not but only surface design.
In this Japanese bistro which is mainly based on rice, it has three concepts as centripetal, orientality and particulate. First, utilizing the sufficient height of the tenant, we set the entrance as high and the back as lowered. Then this perspective makes the centripetal space which attract people into the shop. Secondly, we referred and extended flying rafter which is often used at the traditional Zen temple, and by overlapping several layers of rafters construct a stepped dynamic ceiling to express powerful orientality. Thirdly, following the traditional Zen temple’s way, the edge of the rafter is covered by white metal plate, we can see a large number of white dots scattering. Needles to say this particulate is a metaphor of the rice.
