303 Shirahama Italian

by Ryohei Kanda for Roito Inc.

The polycarbonate partitions that make up the dining area reflect the view of the ocean in front of the site, while at the same time refracting the light. Pendants and bracket lights are placed on top of the partitions to reflect the light. The partitions reflect the incoming sunlight and change their expression over time. The designer aimed to create an immersive space that sublimates the elements of Shirahama by light, while incorporating a view seamlessly connected to the outside.
