Ukiyoe
Restaurant for Zendo Interior Design
Uphold the concept of "handling complexity by simplicity". The exterior of the building uses wooden louvers to embody the image of mountain and forest culture, and the expression of Japanese "shaded" thinking. The designer used the work of Ukiyo, reflecting Japanese culture; the private box brings out the glorious feeling of the Edo period. Subverting the conveyor belt sushi dining style, the designer uses a double track design and narrow the distance between the chefs and guests in the ltabasahi area.

To emphasize the cultural background of conveyor belt sushi, Japanese cuisine and the deliciousness of the ingredients, the most representative "Ukiyo-e" wallpaper is stretched along the space, reappearing bustling scene of Edo period.

Design Challenge
The original site was an abandoned old building, lacking of bearing capacity, we retains the main body of the building and uses reinforcement methods. Local beams and columns are fixed with irons while the entire structure becomes stronger by using H-shaped steel. All the pipelines are reconfigured, breaking away the conventional Japanese-style architecture and successfully bringing out the unique features.
Project Duration
The project design started in June 2018, completed in December 25, 2019 in Chiayi City, Taiwan
Operation Flow
With the concept of "handling complexity by simplicity," the restaurant interprets sustainability through reinforcement methods to stabilize the structure. The exterior draws the local natural landscape, exploring the harmony between human and nature, and the Japanese "shaded" aesthetic. As Japanese Ukiyo-e "the Kanagawa Surfing" throughout the interior, it reflects the Japanese cuisine background and presents a fresh dining experience.
Research
How to regenerate existing an abandoned old building and inject fashion elements into it with both functionality and traditional style. Make the work conform to the main spirit of its brand, for the research purpose of this case.
Inspiration
This project is located in Chiayi City, Taiwan. It is a Japanese style conveyor belt sushi restaurant. We preserve the original Japanese architecture and integrate it with local elements and Japanese style dining culture to make a dining space that is full of story. With the main concept of "local, sustainable and eco-friendly", we draws on the local most famous Alishan mountain landscape and the characteristics of the forestry settlement, while blending into the essence of Japanese dining culture.
