Omakase sushi counter design by Muzo

JAPANESE DESIGN SPECIALIST

For Japanese restaurants, omakase sushi counters, yakiniku dining, matcha cafés, and contemporary hospitality spaces informed by Japanese spatial thinking.

We translate Japanese spatial principles into contemporary hospitality environments, balancing cultural reference with spatial precision and operational flow.

DESIGN APPROACH

Our approach is rooted in Japanese principles of simplicity, material honesty, and atmosphere.

We design environments where movement, material, and light are resolved as a single, cohesive whole.

OUR EXPERTISE

01

Omakase & Sushi Counter

From intimate omakase counters to full sushi dining rooms. Where chef and guest meet — material, light and sight line considered as a whole. Table dining with the same precision.

02

Wagyu & yakiniku dining

Extraction, ventilation, layout — the technical demands of grill dining handled without ever dominating the atmosphere. Precision behind the scenes, warmth in the room.

03

Ramen & noodle bars

The informal energy of Japanese noodle culture, designed with the same care as fine dining. Counter seating, communal tables - immersive atmosphere without compromise.

04

Matcha cafés & tea settings

Calm, considered, minimal. Japanese tea culture translated into London spaces that feel like a breath out. Every surface intentional, nothing superfluous.

05

Japanese hospitality space

The principles of Japanese spatial thinking - restraint, material honesty, clarity - applied to any hospitality environment that wants to feel genuinely considered.

DESIGN & BUILD

Beyond our stand-alone interior design service, we provide a full fit-out service for the construction phase. We work with a trusted network of tradesmen who understand the finesse of Japanese carpentry and traditional crafts. This specialised expertise allows us to deliver builds of the highest quality, where traditional aesthetics are executed with technical precision.
 
Alternatively, we are happy to collaborate with your appointed build team. In all cases, we remain closely involved through construction to ensure design intent, spatial quality, and functionality are maintained through delivery.
