| DESIGN NAME: Nyoi Nyokki PRIMARY FUNCTION: Japanese Izakaya Pub INSPIRATION: After the former coverings are removed, the part of the original aged wall is discovered, and thus the aged wall is preserved behind steel plate shelves for liquor bottles to embrace the ancient aspects. Extending from interior to exterior, the language of black steel continues onto the outside stair to invite guests. Nyoi Nyokki evokes the traditional Japanese aesthetics of wabi-sabi through an assemblage of the aged wall, natural wood and steel. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Located on the 2nd floor of an old 2-story building in Beijing, Nyoi Nyokki is a Japanese izakaya pub, clad with wooden louvers, covering the walls and ceilings to create an intimate environment. The bar counter features wood louvers and glass pendant lights on the ceiling to define a spatial hierarchy for the most dominant part of the izakaya pub. The centerpiece of the place is the original aged wall revealed from former coverings behind illuminated liquor bottles. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Guests enter through an intermediate space to maintain a distance between a chaotic street and a cozy dining area, the entry corridor features wood louvers on the wall and ceiling to create an inviting atmosphere. According to the existing windows at the higher position than usual, the far side of the pub is one step higher, creating a sense of intimacy. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2015 and completed in September 2015 in Beijing, China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Japanese izakaya pub is clad with 30mm thick natural wood louvers, and the bar counter features white artificial marble with the wooden louvers. Liquor bottles are displayed on plate shelves made of 3mm thick black steel at a backbar characterized by surfaces made of vertical wood louvers, while air conditioners and audio systems are hidden at the upper part of the louvered cabinets. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 100sqm, 38 seats. TAGS: Japan, Izakaya, Bar, Restaurant, Louver, Nyoi Nyokki, Imafuku Architects, Beijing, China RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The primary research background of the project is about the site analysis. The eye-catching design is one of the key elements of the izakaya pub because Nyoi Nyokki is situated on the second floor in Beijing's Xinyuanli area where many Japanese restaurants and bars are gathered along the street, as well as the entrance stair tucked away on a side street. CHALLENGE: Due to the research, the ceiling elements of the bar counter extended to the window-side guide street's eyes upward, while the design of black steel continues from interior to exterior to invite customers walking outside. Contrasting with the local street and building facade, the hidden Japanese pub brings a calm and warm atmosphere.
