The Ichi-Go Ichi-E Restaurant & Bar is strategically located on Bauman Street, the main pan-Asian hub in Kazan, a city renowned as a crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. This juxtaposition forms a unique backdrop for the restaurant, nestled within the city's vibrant bar and restaurant district. Within walking distance of the historic Kazan Kremlin, the venue offers a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape. As visitors transition from the noisy, bustling street into the dimly lit entrance, they embark on a journey that metaphorically transports them to the illuminated worlds of evening Tokyo and Hong Kong, creating a seamless blend between the surrounding landscape and the interior experience.
The Ichi-Go Ichi-E Restaurant & Bar in Kazan embodies a commitment to sustainability through meticulously chosen strategies, materials, and technologies. The custom-made furniture, crafted by carpenters from St.Petersburg supports home-made Russian craftsmanship – a critical component of sustainable practice. The lighting scenario is designed to minimize energy consumption by eschewing conventional, broad-spectrum street and general illumination in favor of tailored light scenarios. The use of traditional Japanese washi paper is another nod to sustainability. This eco-friendly material, known for its durability and aesthetic versatility, is incorporated alongside innovative materials like concrete volume tiles and decorative plasters.
The use of traditional Japanese washi paper, alongside the innovative application of concrete volume tiles and a spectrum of decorative plasters, introduces a variety of textures and shades into the space. From cold to warm tones, and from geometric to natural reliefs, these materials work together to create a richly layered and engaging environment. The inclusion of concrete stepstones with rounded pebble accents on the floor complements the overall aesthetic, bridging the gap between urban sophistication and the understated beauty of nature.
The interior design does not seek to replicate a traditional Japanese aesthetic literally. Instead, it opts for a nuanced interpretation of Asian motifs, employing them in ways that enrich the space without resorting to overt national symbols. Elements and details throughout the restaurant subtly incorporate Japanese influences, guided by the philosophy of Zen Buddhism. Yet, the overall palette and choice of materials present a diverse range of colors and textures, celebrating a broader spectrum
The result is a harmonious blend of Asian motifs and Zen philosophy without overt national symbols. Balanced color schemes, varied textures, and thoughtful material selection achieve a serene yet dynamic environment. The addition of a central multimedia column and strategically illuminated zones create a captivating ambiance, encouraging guests to immerse themselves in a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience.
