Fishes Migrating

For this Japanese-style nigiri sushi restaurant being popular with young pink-collar workers, the interior design distinguishing from most Japanese restaurants decorated with gloomy styles attempts manifesting a modern nigiri sushi restaurant. The circular acrylic sheets in different tangerine colors are adorned closely on the wall surfaces, figuratively manifesting the image of migratory fishes in the house. The tangerine adornments resembling the salmon roe signify the fresh ingredients. As the sunlight filtering through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright space seems to announce that “Please come in and savor tasty foods.”

The lower height of window sills makes the indoor space have a great view to the tree shaded road. The given architectural structure of big columns and shafts in the central area in the building makes the renovation plan more difficult, which inspired the designer to build the sushi counter in the central area, and to enclose the original columns and shafts with the tall cabinets. The remaining space, consequently, is decorated with the wine cabinets.
