PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bar
INSPIRATION: The main source of inspiration for designers was Japanese izakaya bars. These bars are located in Tokyo next to the Hachiko Monument at Shibuya Station. These are family of cozy bars with an open kitchen, fresh products and robata grill in the heart.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We tried to make a feeling that we are sitting on a street between old low roofs houses. And everyone is promised a vivid gastronomic spectacle, the result of which will be kindly served on a long wooden shovel in the best traditions of the Land of the Rising Sun.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Moscow, Russia, Pyatnitskaya street 25
