About the Project
| Overview | UMEKITA FLOOR is a food and beverage floor located on the 6th floor of the North Building of Grand Front Osaka, Produce by Potomac/Kansashi, who is well versed in Kansai culture and food and beverage. With 16 restaurants lined up, it is a popular "adult hangout" where food and fun intersect, where you can "hop" from one to the other as if you were at a food stall. At the tables and chairs placed throughout the common area corridors, you can freely enjoy the food and drinks you ordered from each store, and it is a lively place where the bustle of people overflows from the stores to the corridors. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | Despite the fact that it is difficult to attract customers to the food and beverage floor in the North Building, far from the station, the goal was to create a lively space that expresses a "non-conformity" not found in nearby facilities. |
| Space Solution/Realization | In order to embody this "unorthodox" feeling, the producer requested that the facility bring a "germ feel" of the city into the sterile commercial facility. The design team (Interium + Tanseisha) interpreted this "germ feel" by applying a moderate sense of use and aging processing to the entire building and even the finest details. They Spatial Production for a space with a "street feel" that evokes the hustle and bustle of the city. |
