架构师提供的文本描述。在开始设计之前，客户端没有提出太多的要求。有几个要求是，他们最想要的是一家很酷的餐厅，而它的基础是一家名为通科素拉面(猪肉汤面条)的特色菜餐厅。所以首先我开始寻找设计的主要方向。我想用汤拉面本身，它很受欢迎，但与酷的形象相去甚远，作为室内主题来建立一家清凉的拉面餐厅。

Text description provided by the architects. Before starting design, the client specifically did not request so much. A few requests were, simply they wanted a cool restaurant above all, and its basis was a specialty restaurant of Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork soup Noodle) It is not easy to make just vaguely cool restaurant. So firstly I started to look for a main direction of the design. And I conceived of using Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork soup noodle) itself, which is popular but is far from the image of cool, as interior motifs to establish a cool Ramen restaurant

特别是制作了一堵马赛克墙作为招牌，在楼梯上放上了像面条一样起伏的栅栏，拉面碗形的座椅，由铁丝制成的吊灯，灵感来自通科素拉面。(它被称为Harigane(线)，因为它的硬度)，喷白色的墙壁，这表示猪肉汤。等

In particular, Made a mosaic wall as a signboard, Put fences like undulating noodle to cover stair, Ramen bowl shaped seats, The pendant lights made of wire inspired by Tonkotsu ramen noodle. (It is called Harigane (wire) because of its hardness), Spray with white on the wall, which expressed pork soup. Etc.

以拉面为主题通过餐厅，但我的目标是设计创新的拉面餐厅和一个空间，人们可以感到舒适。

Set with Ramen itself as motif through the restaurant, And yet I aimed to design innovative Ramen restaurant and a space where people can feel comfortable.

通过客户提交设计后的反馈，我收到了另一个请求，即他们更愿意使用更灵活的空间。他们想为从小到大的各种客户使用座位。拉面碗形座椅可能限制使用，从而减少座位数量。因此，我想出了灵活的圆形沙发，它可以结合在不同的布局。

Through a feedback from the client after submitted the design, I got another request that they prefer to use space more flexible. They would like to use seats for various customers from small to big groups. Ramen bowl shaped seats which may limit the usage, so that reduced the seat number. Therefore I figured out flexible rounded shape sofas, which can be combined in various layouts.
