Aka Honn
Aka Honn is a Japanese charcoal grill restaurant located in a busy downtown area. The original space had a narrow entrance and very little natural light. The windows were closed and a new central patio was built to bring daylight and natural elements inside. Dining areas, private rooms and a bar are arranged around the patio, which forms the visual centre of the plan. The interior offers 120 dining seats and 15 bar seats. Natural stone and wood are used for floors, walls and furniture. A lower exhaust system removes grill smoke through the raised floor.

The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design prize which honors exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
