Overhead, the ceiling drops over the two main dining areas, isolating diners in a warm glow produced by the reflective red finish of the inverted bento box shaped volumes. The walls of the dining room feature an existing sand blasted brick wall covered with a sheer curtain to soften the space and attenuate noise. The opposite walls feature angled light coves that rise to the ceiling – an effort to evoke bamboo shoots. This wall provides the main circulation artery for Yojisan and evokes the sensation of traversing through a field of illuminated stalks by playing with negative space.
