架构师提供的文本描述。设计一家当代日本餐厅可能是一个挑战。直到最近，这种空间的累赘和重复的方法，使我们试图寻找它的身份，摆脱这些陈词滥调，并寻求直接参考传统的日本设计和当代建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Designing a contemporary Japanese restaurant can be a challenge. The tired and repetitive approach such spaces have been acquiring as of late, brings us to an attempt on looking for its identity escaping these clichés and looking for direct references on traditional Japanese design and contemporary architecture.

拒绝遵守预定的代码，我们创造了一个空间，能够与当代建筑语言相关联，并保留自己的声音。

Refusing to obey to predetermined codes, we have created a space which is able to correlate to a contemporary architectural language and retain its own voice.

从这个二分法中，出现了一项提案，该提案采用了撕破的木片(以谨慎的方式展示内部)，以及在插画、天花板和墙壁的金属平面上表达的与日本相关的图形，让它们背后的光线变相流动。

From this dichotomy comes a proposal that materializes using ripped wooden plans, which reveal the interior in a discreet fashion, as well as a Japanese related graphic, expressed on the cuttings and the ceiling and wall’s metal plans, allowing a fluidity of light disguised behind them.

建议的颜色转换也允许我们在同一卷内改变功能。从深褐色的入口和走廊，到餐厅里的纯白色，我们在这条路上强化了自己的情感。

The colour transition proposed also allows us to change functions within the same volume. From the dark brown entry and hallway, to the pure white on the dining room, we have intensified one’s emotions along the path.

光，总是光，是这个空间整体的统一因素和载体。

Light, always light, is the unifying factor and vehicle for the wholeness of this space.
