DESIGN NAME: Meetin Japan
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Japanese Restaurant
INSPIRATION: The outer circumference of the store is merely a black box. It divides it into six areas. It is a box with diagonal walls, two white boxes, a gray box, a long box, and a lattice counter seat. This has led to a reduction in construction costs, as well as separate flow lines to four different rooms. Each of them has a characteristic finish and a passage with black gravels on both ends is continuous so as to connect them.

In the black box, a simple material palette includes gray stucco walls, white walls, complemented by wood furnishings. The facade contains wooden louvers and the rock garden.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Initially, this shop was trying to operate two stores with different business categories by one kitchen. For that reason, the concept of the store was uncertain and uncertain. After many meetings with the company several times, the answer was a variation. It was to respond to a wide range of needs by setting unequal differences for each audience seating, responding to customers' nationality, age, and staying time.
CHALLENGE: Each branches of MEETIN in mainland China were designed to imitate traditional Japanese style. In other words, harmony with the surrounding environment was not considered. Then, we thought thoroughly the needs of the circumference. How about the setting of price and taste are required? Searching for a new value in this area, we have set the best menu and services, the grade of overall space was decided.
