OARS is a restaurant that combines structure, ingredients and scenery to create a sense of quiet time.

Consisting of rough black stones, dark black paint, and heavy marble, this space gives the impression that it is firmly rooted in the ground with density and texture.
These materials have weights that do not move easily, but at the same time they respond sensitively to surrounding light and shadow and sound, creating subtle mood changes.

The building is designed in a piloti structure and has no columns in the center of the space.
Instead, a large square was placed in the center to feel like a huge block of stone supporting the architecture itself.

This mass functions as the heart of space beyond mere morphological elements.
At the same time as the kitchen, it is used as a community table where people cook and share food together, and the experience of the entire space spreads from this center.

The trout was constructed so that the natural scenery could be seen through a wide window on the back.

This landscape, viewed from the dark interior space, appears more clearly, maximizing the contrast between the material, nature, weight, and openness.

All the movements through the space naturally go to this square, and rough texture and slow rhythm guide the movement of the body inward.
The experience here is not just a meal, but a moment when movement, substance and gaze meet quietly.

The name OARS reminds us of the movement of no (oar) slowly pushing on the water.
This space contains quiet movement, like an oar that is strong but restrained under the surface.
It naturally leads visitors to a common center by relying on balance, weight, and flow without exaggeration or fuss.
