SHIPPING CONTAINER POP-UP

Client/Brand: Yakumo Saryo

Project Completion: Sept. - Oct. 2022

Tasked to design a pop-up restaurant/bar space using two 20 feet long shipping containers for existing Japanese restaurant, Yakumo Saryo, which will be located in a prime park location in the city center of Tokyo. It will offer select take-out dishes and beverages that will be served on a conveyor belt around the perimeter of the shipping container for an engaging appeal The design goal is to convey a unique experience based on the brand, the menu, and urban culture in an effort to provide authentic culinary adventure in an informal way.

Conceptually, the design takes on the form of two converging masses, where the negative space between the two becomes an interactive glass void representing the contrast of both the advancements and traditions Tokyo

"VOID"

The design is a reflection of the juxtaposition between the traditional lifestyle of Japanese culture, and the continuous progression of technological advancements We find harmony in the void between the two contrasting elements which gives Tokyo, Japan its unique appeal It is a meeting place of tradition and innovation
