JPAN is the 5th restaurant in Moscow. The premises is a pre-revolutionary building with vaulted ceilings and complex layout and configuration of rooms. Developing the interior design of the restaurant we functionally divided the space into three halls - the main hall with a bar and diverse seating, a small cozy hall in the middle and a distant, slightly hidden hall with a high vaulted ceiling.
The main interior materials are wood, concrete, metal and glass, and they are found in all spaces of the room and echo each other. Although all the rooms are friendly, they are slightly different from each other visually and they are all interesting to look at. The first room is minimalist white, the second is wooden and the third is dominated by fabric.

In the interior we paid tribute to traditional Japanese “shoji” partitions, which are made of “washi” - traditional Japanese paper. In the first halls - these are partitions that create different zones, add privacy and coziness to the space, while not visually cluttering the room. In the far hall are suspended canvases that repeat the line of the arched ceiling.
Another zoning technique is the glass brick, transparent and light on one side, unusual and changing refraction depending on the point of view. In a way, it is an ammage to Japanese architect Hiroshi Nakamura and his Optical Glass House.
