HUIT SUSHI

Huit Sushi is a contemporary Japanese restaurant located in Montreux, Switzerland. The clients, owners of a well-known restaurant in Montreux for Asian cuisine lovers, wanted to create an entirely new space that would be modern, visually striking, and attract visitors while elevating the overall dining experience. Their goal was to restyle the restaurant and upgrade it to match the quality of the cuisine.
The interior is organized around two intersecting walls — one in polished metal, the other in illuminated acrylic — dividing the restaurant into four main zones: the open kitchen, dining area, cocktail bar, and waiting lounge. This cross-shaped layout supports intuitive circulation while maintaining clear separation between functional areas.
The design emphasizes neutrality and flexibility, providing a calm and adaptable framework that allows guests to focus on the culinary experience. Furniture accents are in black, and tables and the bar counter are made from inhomogeneous acrylic mixtures, creating a subtle “loose” surface effect. Large openings and reflective metal surfaces interact with LED lighting to shape the atmosphere throughout the day.
Central to the concept is contrast and rhythm: the glowing acrylic wall and reflective metal wall serve as anchors, guiding movement, defining zones, and setting the emotional tone. Functional innovations include a glowing restroom door within the LED wall system, maintaining visual coherence and playful interaction within the interior.
At its core, Huit Sushi is more than a restaurant. It’s a spatial composition where restraint, innovation, and material precision create an emotionally resonant atmosphere — a place where form follows feeling, and architecture becomes an experience.
