This project was planned for the area of Platinum Street in Shirokane, lined with restaurants. On a 35-meter-wide site, the aim was to create a building that felt both new and old, with a pleasant atmosphere and a sense of "evoking memories." Aiming to become a landmark in the city as a complex dining space, our company assisted with schematic design and design supervision. A sense of "openness" was required in the architecture, so we created a sense of openness and shielding with folded cement stones, and materials that appear to be eroded by wind and light. This also contributed to creating the atmosphere of "a dry southern land," which was a key concept design word for the interior. Based on a consistent concept, we assisted with everything from interiors concept design to planting and artwork selection to achieve a unified interior that allows you to feel the wind, light, greenery, and water flowing in from the outside. When viewed from the outside, interiors concept design, which extends to the terrace, combines with the landscaping plan to become one of the elements that adorn the facade, and the architectural facade becomes a borrowed landscape from the interior space, creating a space where the inside and outside complement each other. The facility has a dining area, a teppanyaki restaurant, two banquet halls, and a chapel, and all kitchens are either walk-in or open kitchens. The anterooms of the chapel and bucket are separated by glass, emphasizing unobstructed views and spatial continuity within the facility. In addition to being open to the street, the texture created by the materials that have already aged gives the impression that it has been there for a long time, and we believe that it will become a distinctive landmark while also building a close relationship with the city. ◎Our Group Project Members [Sales] Hisayasu Takenaka, Takuya Kitai [Direction] Ryu Kosaka [design, layout] Architecture: Hiroyuki Iizumi Interior: Reiko Saito, Masahiro Hisakane [Production/ construction] Keiji Idei
