DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Ukiyoe

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Restaurant

INSPIRATION:
This project is located in Chiayi City, Taiwan. It is a Japanese style conveyor belt sushi restaurant. We preserve the original Japanese architecture and integrate it with local elements and Japanese style dining culture to make a dining space that is full of story. With the main concept of "local, sustainable and eco-friendly", we draws on the local most famous Alishan mountain landscape and the characteristics of the forestry settlement, while blending into the essence of Japanese dining culture.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
To reflect the local culture and natural landscape, the exterior of the building uses a wood grain aluminum louvers to outline the shape of Alishan mountain, while the interior part retains the building during the Japanese occupation period and plenty of materials. To emphasize the cultural background of conveyor belt sushi, Japanese cuisine and the deliciousness of the ingredients, the most representative "Ukiyo-e" wallpaper is stretched along the space, reappearing bustling scene of Edo period.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
With the concept of "handling complexity by simplicity," the restaurant interprets sustainability through reinforcement methods to stabilize the structure. The exterior draws the local natural landscape, exploring the harmony between human and nature, and the Japanese "shaded" aesthetic. As Japanese Ukiyo-e "the Kanagawa Surfing" throughout the interior, it reflects the Japanese cuisine background and presents a fresh dining experience.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project design started in June 2018, completed in December 25, 2019 in Chiayi City, Taiwan

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Interior Space and Exhibition Design

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
The 297 square-meters space is divided with a semitransparent material with wooden louvers and different lanterns to create an open visual. Unprocessed cypress wood and rustic iron are used to reduce the environmental impact. Subverting the tradition, the design team adopts double tracks to meet the diverse needs, and by narrowing the distance between the chefs and guests at Itabasahi area, giving a rich and cozy experience for them.

I'm absolutely in awe of this restaurant design! The way the exterior of the building has been designed to outline the shape of Alishan mountain is simply stunning. The interior has also been carefully crafted to retain the building's original Japanese occupation period and there is an abundance of materials to emphasize the cultural background of conveyor belt sushi and Japanese cuisine. The Ukiyo-e wallpaper really brings to life the bustling scene of the Edo period. It's clear that a lot of research and effort has gone into creating this unique design, and it's a great example of how local and sustainable design can be achieved. Congratulations to the designer for this amazing work!

I'm in awe of Fabio Su's work on Ukiyoe, the Japanese style conveyor belt sushi restaurant. The attention to detail is remarkable and really brings the Japanese dining culture to life. The exterior of the building is a great tribute to the local culture and natural landscape, with the wood grain aluminum louvers outlining the shape of Alishan mountain. The interior part has retained the building during the Japanese occupation period and plenty of materials. The most striking feature has to be the "Ukiyo-e" wallpaper that stretches along the space, recreating the bustling scenes of the Edo period. It's clear that Fabio Su conducted thorough research to make sure the work would conform to the main spirit of its brand, as well as being sustainable and eco-friendly. The end result is a stunning restaurant that is full of story and culture, and I'm delighted that Fabio Su has been recognised for their hard work and dedication by winning the A' Design Award.
