Nadaman at Shangri-La Tokyo by André Fu Studio: Japanese Dining Within Shangri-La Tokyo
Layered timber screens and commissioned art translate natural references into a sequence of Tokyo dining rooms.
Nature interpreted through space
For Nadaman at Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo, AFSO’s 2009 design interprets nature through abstraction. Rather than relying on literal scenery, the restaurant uses layered forms and carefully articulated spaces to establish a tranquil, contemporary setting.
Linked rooms with distinct functions
Full-height timber screens divide the floor into connected dining zones. The sushi dining bar and private teppanyaki suite each respond to a particular function, with specially commissioned art installations distinguishing the different settings.
Screens, texture and suspended forms
The official photographs show patterned seating, textured vertical elements and pale sculptural forms suspended overhead. These details give the rooms their own character while preserving a consistent language of material layers and framed views.
