The brief for Ha'ne Sushi was simple, just like the design intent - design a fresh, clean, contemporary, and simple setting for a new sushi train restaurant in Eaton's Hill Village. We worked closely with the client to develop a paired back, light, and airy aesthetic, quite different from other Sushi restaurants they had done before. By keeping the material palette and colour selections minimal, we were able to work within the client's budget. We carefully selected finishes that enhanced moments in the plan, like the warm Tasmanian oak timber frame over the sushi bar, which works to frame the action going on within the Sushi bar, and highlight the food on the sushi train. The organic nature of the varied coloured blue fish scale tiles brings in an element of fun and delight and works to draw you into the space.
