To outline the unique balance and original, “nature,” which this restaurant, Yamaki Zushi symbolizes, has inspired this project. The designer hoped to bring the sense of nature to customers and therefore applied Karesenzui, rock-imitated materials, and Baizou volcano ashes to construct landscape in many ways. The fish pond, artistic cement floorings symbolizes the imagery of water. At the same time, the wooden materials of cypress, teak, unpainted wood, and rust are used on walls to add layers into the space to metaphor the complex behind the simplicity of sushi cuisine. By applying pure and simple materials, and particular layering design methods, the dining environment has successfully recreated the spirit of Japanese cuisine: Pursue perfection and extreme requirements. The designer hoped that each customer that enters this place could practical experience the sensation of embodiment in many ways. Original materials are used from the former restaurant; elements that can be reused in this new space are recycled. At the same time, the designer applied water-based wood protection paints instead of oil paints that contain xylene, butyl acetate, cyclic ketone, and other organic solvents to maintain healthiness for users of the dining space. The walls made of Baizou effectively decrease formaldehyde and other harmful substances, eliminating users’ possible health concerns within the newly-decorated space. Aesthetics and simplicity develop this design concept. The spatial is divided by rough and delicate methods inside out, allowing users to experience different atmospheres between the transform of areas.
