RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The case has been the second-generation of (MARU,the name of the sushi shop). The first shop in 2006 has attracted a new trend of Japanese atmosphere and new thinking way in Taipei. Before 2006, most of the traditional Japanese restaurant used beech and the curtain to create the atmosphere. When we try to use a (quiet )dining atmosphere, with dark tones trace of light for Japanese restaurant rather than a lot of woods, so that we can calm down and enjoy the ingredients performing on stage and the director (chef) starting to come out from backstage to the foreground.
CHALLENGE: In order to shorten the distance with guests, the design breaks the traditional image of Japanese sushi bar. No more refrigerator on the counter, a large French window is installed at the entrance to unveil the mysterious of Japanese cuisine.
