JAPANESE RESTAURANT -- SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- UNREALIZED
The client was presented with the opportunity to lease space in an upscale shopping center and help elevate the retail environment aesthetic. The design is a clean, modern representation of the Japanese culture and its iconic colors and textures. To achieve the mandated level of transparency but create privacy for the diners, the “walls” are slats of Shou Sugi Ban that each rotate 3 degrees off one another. Akin to driving past rows of vines, your view through the slats is dynamic but partial.
