Serene Japanese Elegance

This restaurant interior pays homage to Japan’s immaculately tasteful and profoundly spiritual design history.

The small footprint is elongated by a clear line of site through the full length of the venue. This length is doubled by a perfectly placed strip of mirror resulting in an uncluttered sense of space.

The ever-popular sushi bar is proportioned for ultimate comfort for both the customer and the chef. Likewise, the refined banquet and table seating allows for a divine dining experience.

The private dining space borrows geometry from the traditional tatami room, and is precisely square with elegant, also square, furniture and lighting centred in perfectly calm symmetry.

One of our fondest projects, Minamishima still looks brand new today after over ten years of booming business.

Shop-fitter: J-Nine Constructions

"A Japanese restaurant serving omakase by Koichi Minamishima. This project called for a precise interior as disciplined as the ancient art of sushi. The ergonomically considered sushi bar is comfortable for both diner and chef alike. It stages the chefs performance whilst concealing the clutter. Clean lines in the space-planning, a restrained pallet of materials and strictly orthogonal shadow-lines, combine to modestly complement the culinary experience." The Age, Good Food Guide, Restaurant Of The Year 2016

"A truly brilliant textural experience."

“My partner and l have had the privilege of working with Kelly Holland on our biggest investment ever – our new home. From the onset, there was a very comfortable and relaxed feeling working with Kelly. Not only did she bring her smile and sense of humour to every meeting but also her professionalism, expertise, creativity and openness. It was easy working with Kelly and taking on board her advice and guidance but at the same time, Kelly listened to us and took into consideration our thoughts. Her attention to detail was perfect both with her technical drawings and interior design ideas. Furthermore, her ‘building’ knowledge is second to none which makes everyone’s life easier especially the builders! Kelly went over and above what we expected and what we found that we really admired was her genuine attachment to delivering us a place we could truly be proud of. The end product is a beautiful house that feels like a home. It has style, a sense of luxury and warmth – exactly what we wanted! I would not hesitate to refer Kelly to anyone requiring an interior architect who obviously has a passion in this particular creative field, is dedicated to your project and is 100% reliable.”
