TREE Restaurant in Sydney, Australia by Koichi Takada Architects

Koichi Takada Architects have designed the TREE Restaurant in Sydney, Australia.

TREE Restaurant Design in Sydney, Australia by Koichi Takada Architects
We wish to emulate the comfort and tranquility the canopy of tree can create. Timber profiles create the branches of the tree, transforming the Sushi Train restaurant into a place of nature. Dappled light filters between the timber branches. The flairs of light change as you move throughout the restaurant, mimicking the irregularity of natural sunlight, while highlighting the path of the Sushi Train.

Conceptually the TREE has become symbolic of the nurture and care put into growing this successful business. The branches extend to the perimeter, encompassing diners and workers alike.

The timber profiles have been cut using CNC technology, minimizing waste and allowing accuracy and detail in the design. Gaboon Marine Plywood, brings the warmth of timber to the interior, which compliments the texture of the rendered walls. The contrast of these elements highlights the central TREE and the Sushi Train below.
