Award: Hospitality Design
Architects EAT for Maedaya Bar
Jury Citation
A brave and clear concept, with a strong story and narrative. The ritualistic nature of drinking sake is impressively reflected in the design and a sense of the ‘Japanese’ is clearly evident.
The interior embodies simplicity while the design makes a sophisticated use of texture and material. The relationship between the materials used and what is consumed in the establishment has been highly considered. There is a strong juxtaposition between the two areas of the project.
