WAKAZE SAKE
INTERIOR DESIGN, DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT, VISUALISATION
3D MODELLING, VISUALISATION AND INTERIOR DESIGN FOR WAKAZE’S PARIS RESTAURANT CONCEPT.
WAKAZE IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SAKE BREWERY, FUSING TOGETHER JAPANESE EXPERTISE WITH FRENCH INFLUENCE TO MAKE SAKE FOR MODERN TIMES.
WAKAZE’S PARIS RESTAURANT CONCEPT AIMED TO BRING A CONTEMPORARY SAKE EXPERIENCE TO THE HEART OF PARIS.
THE INTERIOR CONCEPTS WERE DEVELOPED BY OUR FRIENDS, USING WAKAZE’S GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF INNOVATION, SUSTAINABILITY, OPENNESS AND DIVERSITY.
A U-SHAPED BAR UNITES GUESTS IN AN UNPRETENTIOUS WAY TO SHARE FEEL-GOOD EXPERIENCES, WHILST DARK BOOTHS OFFER A PLACE TO RELAX FOR INTIMATE MOMENTS. MINIMAL WALLS AND FLOORS WERE CONTRASTED AGAINST A DARK AND MYSTERIOUS CEILING TO CREATE A PLACE OF TOGETHERNESS.
THE EXISTING SPACE WAS 3D MODELLED FROM FLOOR PLANS TO DEVELOP OUR FRIENDS’ INTERIOR CONCEPTS. INDUSTRIAL BREWERY MATERIALS WERE USED IN A MODERN AND STYLISH WAY, COMBINED WITH THE WARMTH OF EARTH TONES AND TEXTURES.
LIGHTING WAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT, FROM THE ILLUMINATED BEACON TO DRAW ATTENTION ALONG THE PARISIAN PASSAGEWAY, TO THE NEON SCULPTURE ABOVE THE BAR REPRESENTING WAKAZE’S NON-STATIC NATURE. INDIRECT LIGHT FROM SAKE CELLAR-STYLE SHELVING PROVIDED A WARM GLOW TO THE INTERIOR, MAKING THE RESTAURANT FEEL INTIMATE AND WELCOMING.
