Kamimachi
Kamimachi is a Japanese noodle restaurant located in the centre of Shanghai. The interior is arranged around a large roof form that creates a sheltered area, so guests dine as if under deep eaves. A layer of white wood is used as a louver, and it gently wraps the people, the space and the food. The roof and eaves recall the atmosphere of a Japanese veranda within a large city. The restaurant is set on the second floor, and the design follows the theme of eating on a pier under a big roof. Kamimachi balances the movement of the metropolis with the stillness of the interior.
