About the Project

Overview This French restaurant is located on the top floor of SHIROYAMA HOTEL Kagoshima, a long-established hotel that represents Kagoshima and stands on a hill 108 meters above sea level in the center of Kagoshima, overlooking the city. The Tourism 's main dining area has been completely renovated to provide a memorable experience for tourists visiting Kagoshima and a place for locals to create unforgettable and cherished memories.
Issues/Themes The goal is to renovate the restaurant into a next-generation signature restaurant that can make the most of the magnificent views of Kagoshima city nightscape and Sakurajima.
Space Solution/Realization The design theme is "Satsuma Deco." In order to incorporate the characteristics of Kagoshima into the interior design, we focused on "Satsuma Kiriko," a glass craft with a long history that originated in the Satsuma domain at the end of the Edo period. We Spatial Production a gorgeous "special occasion" by applying the vivid, delicate and unique texture of Satsuma Kiriko glass cut, which is said to be a legendary traditional craft, to the floor carpet, ceiling fixtures and various art pieces.
In addition, the renovation also eliminated any steps in the floor, allowing for flexible table arrangements to accommodate restaurant weddings, and the number of private rooms was increased, responding to a variety of guest requests and transforming the restaurant into one that can provide a special experience for people of all generations.
Design for Environment Universal design: With a range of users in mind, the store is designed with a flat floor with no steps.
