Hachico
Bar for Hachico
The main inspiration for team was Japanese izakaya bars. These bars are authentic, located in Tokyo next to the Hachiko Monument. Family minibars with an open kitchen and fresh produce in the windows, where the tables are usually reserved in advance due to a lot of tourists. This format was new for Moscow, so designers tried to create a bar, full of natural materials and Japanese spirit. Its cozy withhandmade details and with unusual kitchen menu. Architects used almost one terracota colour to convey the atmosphere, but different materials and textures were used.

Unique Properties
Hachiko Inakaya Bar is a new and unic format for Moscow. The design of Japanese food service, especially outside of Japan, seems to be a very difficult task. We did our best to avoid typical decorating techniques in designing this bar. We deside to create an atmosphere of as you are seating between the roofs, thats why we use a lot of ceramic elements, exclusive ceramic tiles, warm terracota colours, unique wood and leather. The result was a moderately eclectic and sophisticated interior with subtle allusions to Japanese history. All ideas were implemented in a small area of 65 square m.

Production Technology
References to Japanese are traditional tiles, that cover the whole wall, natural stone and wood finishes. All focuses on the signature style of life of the Japanese in unity with nature. Atmosphere supported by color scheme, light brown, gray walls, black and light beige colors.Catchy tile panels are adjacent to the tiles on the floor, and the surfaces of tables with wood patterns are combined with a velvet upholstery of furniture. We competently planned lighting scenarios in the main hall. During the day the space is flooded with sunlight, and in the evening a cozy twilight is created.
