Japanese Charcoal Grill Store

Saturday, 8 August 2026

Aka Honn

Aka Honn is a Japanese charcoal grill restaurant located in a busy downtown area. The original space had a narrow entrance and very little natural light. The windows were closed and a new central patio was built to bring daylight and natural elements inside. Dining areas, private rooms and a bar are arranged around the patio, which forms the visual centre of the plan. The interior offers 120 dining seats and 15 bar seats. Natural stone and wood are used for floors, walls and furniture. A lower exhaust system removes grill smoke through the raised floor.

Taipei Eros

The hair salons is based on the geometry of black, white, and grey colors. The gestures of hair-cutting are translated into the massing of the sculptural entities. The triangular motif shapes the functional cubes and planes from ceiling to floors through the actions of piling, cutting, and sewing. The light bars embedded in the dividing lines contributes to numerous lighting belts, serving as supplemental lighting while solving the condition of the lowered ceiling. They extend and meander with the reflection of the large mirror, shuttling freely between the planes and the three-dimensionality.

Gemdale Inner Peace

Gemdale Inner Peace is a marketing center of 550 square meters designed with modern continuous curves and the colors of tea and water. A structured column network divides the interior into three separate yet continuous functional areas. At the entrance axis, the sand table area is topped by grey mirrors that form a mirror lake, and drop-shaped chandeliers hang above. In the tea room of the meeting area, the ceiling falls into the wall and is scattered with small round holes. A book bar with wave-shaped ceiling and walls faces the tea room.

Avenue Green Sheshan

A large, open and bright area allows children to run around the columns and play together. Small huts placed within the large space offer a calm and personal setting. A curved slide stands in the center of the reception waiting area, where parents can rest while children play. Wood and pale colors are used to give the interior a warm and homely character.

Vibrant

Capturing the essence of botanical image, sky garden was created throughout the aisle, immediately welcomes the guests to bask under, moving aside from the crowd, welcoming them from the entryway. Peeking further into the space, the narrowed layout extends upwards with detailed golden touch ups. Botanic metaphors are still vibrantly expressed throughout the room, replacing the bustle noise coming from the streets, and here becomes a secret garden.

Linglong

Shimu is a residential interior design for a penthouse on the shore of Jinji Lake in Suzhou. The renovated area is 470 square meters. The main hall opens to a south facing panoramic window, so sunlight enters easily and the lake and the green planting come into view. A glass panel of 6.6 by 2.5 meters was lifted and installed to widen the view. A minimalist fireplace marks the main room. The living room, the dining room and the western kitchen are joined in one open space. Floor and ceiling share a single material for visual simplicity.
