Sushi Kaiyo is a three-storey concept-driven Japanese restaurant in the heart of Jakarta, Indonesia.
A bold vision to redefine Japanese Sushi and all-day dining for Jakarta, boasts a street-facing retail area, a sushi bar, VIP rooms, children' play area and show kitchen. All of these spaces are weaved together via an impressive main staircase, inspired as a stairway to heaven from the depths of the ocean to the lightness of the sky.
Taking inspiration from the tactile and emotive principles of 'Earth, Wind and Fire', the interior finishes and aesthetics have been carefully chosen to 'gradient upward'. Sushi Kaiyo drew a lot of inspiration from the art, authenticity and craft of Sushi. It brings the mystery of the ocean with the Japanese obsession with purity, perfection and craftsmanship.
Separate from the FFE rationale, the joinery language is inspired by the Japandi movement, not only tapping into the culinary offer but also working with the forward movement of ensuring our spaces focus on wellness as a priority. We asked ourselves, how does the space make the person feel warm, comfortable and at ease?
