A JAPANESE FUSION RESTAURANT IN CHELSEA MARKET
Synthesis represents a fusion of culture where traditional Japanese elements meet modern aesthetics, creating a space that invites both comfort and curiosity in every moment.
The design seeks to highlight the intersection of cultures and cuisines both visually and physically. The existing angled facade provided a baseline for the geometry throughout the space, inspiring movement and crossover. The materiality nods to that of traditional Japanese architecture while integrating modern details, silhouettes and patterns. Additional design details incorporate rock and roll culture and visuals, a nod to developing partner Alex Lifeson. The space aims to create a sense of familiarity and comfort intertwined with unique elements that elevate the dining experience.
