Koichi Takada Architects has designed the TREE Restaurant in Sydney, Australia. “Our practice explores how contemporary interior design can best embody the qualities and virtues present in nature. We propose a dining concept that recreates HANAMI, the traditional Japanese festival of the Cherry Blossom in bloom. Dining under the cherry blossom trees is a social gathering that celebrates the arrival of spring. This concept not only represents the serving of Japanese cuisines, but also hopes to capture a symbolic place for the locals to gather and dine under ‘one big tree’ and for the owner to nurture the business as if growing a tree.”
