Taikan Fast Sushi

Restaurant for Taikan

The Taikan restaurant proposes a practical, modern, and welcoming Japanese gastronomy experience, in 350 square meters with lighting and coating elements that refer to a cosmopolitan Japan. The interior design project was inspired by the architecture of Japanese wooden houses as well as some elements of Japanese pop culture. In this case, we use some unconventional materials, such as the same prefabricated coating on the floor, ceiling and walls, which ensured speed in the work, cost reduction and a strong visual impact.

Unique Properties

The Taikan restaurant proposes a practical, modern, and welcoming Japanese gastronomy experience, in 350 square meters with lighting and coating elements that refer to a cosmopolitan Japan. The interior design project was distinguished using the same prefabricated coating on the floor, ceiling and walls, which ensured speed in the work, cost reduction and a strong visual impact. LED bars embedded in the wall and ceiling were also used, creating a dynamic light effect, which refers to chopsticks.

Production Technology

We used the reference of the use of wood in Japanese constructions as part of the project. To do so, we recreated the look of a space entirely made of wood using vinyl flooring covering the floor, wall and ceiling. This solution created an extremely welcoming feeling, which surprised and is very easy to replicate in other stores. Lighting is also highlighted in the form of LED profiles that refer to chopsticks, which cross the ceiling and wall.

Design Challenge

The project lasted 2 months in the design phase and 3 months in the construction phase.

Project Duration

The project lasted 2 months in the design phase and 3 months in the civil work stage.

Operation Flow

The project was developed to allow a fast flow of service, with a large buffet bench and several service boxes. The space was designed to provide a comfortable distance between the tables, with a rich sensorial ambiance, with the sound of water, plants, and pleasant light.

Research

We carried out research on Japanese architecture and its relationship with materials and the environment around it. The synergy and union between internal and external space, the balance between what is static and mobile.

Inspiration

The concept of Taikan was based on the union of traditional Japanese culture and architecture, with emphasis on open and hollow spaces, with a lot of use of wood, water and transparencies. We also use elements of a more urban and contemporary architecture, using concrete, matte black and geometric three-dimensional tiles. The way in which wood was used in Japanese constructions was a major advantage of the project, resulting in a prominent visual element for the space.
