DESIGN NAME: Shinsaibashi Project
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant and Wine Bar
INSPIRATION: The historic old house in Shinsaibashi , Osaka has been renovated as a restaurant and a wine bar. Built about 60 years ago in a prime location in Shinsaibashi, this old house was the home of the 8th generation Kabuki actor, RAIZO ICHIKAWA, who was a superstar at the time. While valuing traditional Japanese architectural design, we have created a modern, beautiful, and new space. The entrance is the door from the end of the EDO period, and the wall is the mosaic tiles of ITO JAKUCHU's planting paintings. The materials such as "lattice", "plaster" and "eave tile" that symbolize the beauty of Japan are combined with "red carpet", "brass" and " Terra-cotta tiles" reminiscent of Western-style buildings in the TAISHO era.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The old folk house, which has been protected for more than 60 years in a town with only square buildings, has been remodeled into a comfortable and clean new space while retaining the old taste.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: I tried to design a space that makes the time here feel like beautiful art. I was conscious of the design whose value increases with the passage of time.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project began on march 2020, the German Design Award (Winner) was awarded and an award ceremony In February 2022 and work exhibition was held at Frankfurt Messe Ambiante.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The completion of a unique and topical old folk house has changed the atmosphere of the street and increased the value of the area.
