Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Started with the design concept of Sakura and dew, the Sakura petals and dewdrops are combined in the glass partition in a creative way, achieving a virtual-real synthesis and crystal-clear decorative effects. The adoption of decorative materials is based on environmental protection consideration.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the love story of Sakura rain, the design of Omakase erased the sadness of story without a trace. It broke some preconceived traditional ideas and challenged the widely accepted standard of behavior.
- Research
- Whether a kaiseki cuisine is attractive is just determined at the moment when one entering the door. Omakase has created an eye-catching and romantic dining space. The entire space is just like a freehand brushwork painting, in which every diner becomes a part of the scenery.
- Challenge
- The small area is a big restrict of the project.
- Realization and Technology
- The main materials include glass, paint and tatami. The multipul layers of glass reflect light and shadow so as to achieve a dream-like environment. The building is equipped with central air-conditioning system, fire sprinkler and kitchen fittings to ensure a safe dining space.
- Operation and Interaction
- The boundless pink Sakura is in contrast with the golden Tatami room, as if one entered a Sakura labyrinth. With the dynamic lighting, the blooming Sakura and exquisitely carved dewdrops make a feast of Sakura. Such a poetic environment seized the heart of a maiden.
- Project Duration and Location
- The design work started in August 2018, and the construction is completed in January 2019 in Shanghai, China.
