We designed a bar that will be a place for socializing that transcends nationality, gender, guests, and bartenders.
The space was designed with this concept in mind.
The main bar counter is the center of the space, a free space where guests and bartenders can come and go without any difference in their standing positions, by removing the difference in floor level between the inside and outside of the counter. The flat counter and cocktail stations make the bar feel as if bartenders and guests are all sitting around a single dining table.
The materials used for the bar are old timbers that were used as beams in a temple over 300 years ago; there are also traces of the building’s former use, such as timber holes. In addition, old wood, plaster, and brass are used in various places, combining textures that change with time. Artwork and objects brought in from various countries create a mysterious space “at home”, casual, textured, and luxurious space. The balcony and roof top are open to the public. The illuminated Tokyo Tower is seemed, reminding visitors that they are in Tokyo.
A new place has been created where people from all over the world can enjoy the Tokyo nightlife.
