The architecture of Omasake bar in Paris negotiates between the high speed of contemporary Japanese culture and the rhythmic persistence of Parisian classicism. This architectural composition, octagonal portals of varying metals, evokes the dynamism, fast-paced motion of Tokyo streets, like a tunnel transporting to another dimension.

Yet, it is defined by clarity of gesture, incorporating the weight, symmetry, and solidity of Parisian architectural blocks. Inside, the use of metals creates a form of reflectivity and allows the space to play off of itself, always changing as one moves through space. In contrast, fabrics and soft lighting contribute to a relaxed ambiance, a space of contemplation.

The interior layout is designed for a strong one point perspective, like a drawing of a primitive enfilade, enveloping guests in various lighting conditions and reflections, which accentuates the metallic surfaces, like inhabiting the ribcage of a fish, and at the same time revealing its reflective scales, an exquisite corpse serving as the spinal cord of the project.
