Sushihana Restaurant by A2G Arquitectura
Portuguese practice A2G Arquitectura has created Sushihana, a sushi restaurant in Porto. Inviting and minimal, the space seeks to communicate a contemporary architectural language while retaining a unique aesthetic. Materialized through milky-white wood and perforated back-lit panels, the design seeks to reveal itself discreetly, drawing curious passerby’s into the warm interior. The main dining room is contained within an inner volume that generates a more intimate and controlled environment. Surrounded by louvered panels and defined by a dropped ceiling, the semi-enclosed eating area is treated in contrast to the rest of the space and divides the restaurant into two distinct zones: sit down and take-away. An abstract Japanese motif wraps around the walls and ceiling, its perforated skin acting as the primary source of artificial light.
