AI Republic
Oushou Brighton Japanese Restaurant

OUSHOU Brighton is the second restaurant collaboration with Ai Republic and the third establishment of the OUSHOU dining group. The client’s design requirement is to continue the style of the previous stores, maintaining consistency in the brand’s image.

This project involves the renovation of an old store, which has a long, narrow space divided into four areas due to the terrain’s elevation differences. Each area is designed with different functions, including the reconstruction of tatami private dining rooms. The red grid wine cabinet is a signature element of OUSHOU’s space. In previous restaurants, it has been applied to the walls. For this project, in addition to having the same design in the dining area, a unique implementation is planned for the restaurant’s entrance area (Shopfront zone) on the ceiling, aimed at attracting the attention of passersby. However, the lighting treatment and structural installation require special consideration and design. The lighting design and a 12-meter-long mural are the highlights of this project. From the selection of the mural’s story and images to discussions with the graphic designer, review of the plans, testing paper prints – every step is taken to better represent the brand’s story and image. Custom-designed lighting fixtures with low color temperature, low wattage, and cherry blossom-shaped decorative floor lamps create a relaxed, understated luxury atmosphere.
