Baia

Baia came into existence in Shibuya the center of Tokyo metropolitan as a cave suddenly appeared in the city. It consists of 5 floors; a basement, 3 stories, and a rooftop terrace, and the design concept of the entire floor is a cave within the city. The designers believed only a minimal design could visualize the fascinating and exotic atmosphere of a cave, and kept it minimal using emerald green lighting and mortar which they think suited for this modern cave. The lighting plan of fascinating emerald green lights added glamor to the space and helped visualize the design concept.

Moonshot Cafe

This design is for the Japan Pavilion at the CES 2023, one of the largest technology conventions in the glove. It is inspired from simplicity and minimization, the fundamental concept of Zen, which Japan has always been with since ancient times. It’s rare to have a cafe, rather than having a normal exhibition booth in a convention. The space tries to become an oasis where the interaction begins. It also focuses on transparency and spaciousness since the ceiling of the venue is low. In addition, it has lots of green, showing the eco-friendship, reducing waste, and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Monmono Blue

Monmono Blue is a restaurant and gallery interior in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The whole space is finished in a single blue tone, creating a monochrome setting for art. Four zones recall a casino, a hotel, a retail store and a piazza, and a vintage car is placed with part of the body out of view. Contrast is built with gloss and matt textures and with lighting at 6000K, because warmer light would make the blue look green. Most elements were prefabricated and installed on site. The interior covers 1464 square feet and seats 50 guests.
