TerrazzaShirokane Restaurant- This restaurant is located on the second floor of glass curtain wall building, which faces main street of a fashionable neighborhood in Tokyo.
As they have a great view from this tenant’s window, “building a connection with the neighborhood” spontaneously becomes our design challenges.
This site is located at the intersection of three areas – facing the main street of a fashionable neighborhood, also adjacent to “Institute for Nature Study” and “The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo”.
We are trying to incorporate characteristics of each area into interior finishes and furnishings to visualize this intersection of three areas inside the restaurant. More specifically, we divide the restaurant into three zones by two lines, that are an extension of two roads outside, then relate these three zones to the three areas outside.
Also, we assign the theme with each zone with the common term of this neighborhood – elegance.
“Main street” zone: sophisticated white with elegance
“Institute for Nature Study” zone: rich natural environment with elegance
“The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo” zone: rooted in tradition with elegance
As a result, guests could feel the connection with the neighborhood and enjoy the area of diversity and vitality while sitting in the comfort of the restaurant.
