Inspired by the intimate izakayas of Tokyo, this cozy bar and restaurant is the latest endeavor for Japanese Chef Tatsuya Yamazaki. Flow and functionality drove the brief. Warm, light-hued timber personifies the design with elegant framework inspired by traditional Japanese carpentry and pale grey-green Japanese ceramic tiles. Y14 is a modern take on Tokyo’s izakayas, the brief was to take inspiration from traditional Japanese carpentry and inject that inspiration into the cosy beachside location.

About the
Professional
We are inspired by the people we meet, and the relationships we keep.
Biasol (pronounced ‘b–are–zoul’) is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Melbourne. With a focus on the design of interior spaces, building typologies, products, and branded environments, we work collaboratively with Australian and international clients to realise spaces and experiences that merge the intricacies of design to deliver considered outcomes that engage both physically and emotionally.
Biasol was established in 2012 by Jean-Pierre Biasol whose Italian heritage and broader European educational influences nurtured a resonance and respect for the naturally diverse working processes common within European design practices. The Biasol approach draws on many complementary disciplines to create experiences that surpass expectation, harnessing intuitive, beautiful and highly engaging environments, products and brands.
