Yaroslav Galant innovative design studio finished work on an interior of Japanese cuisine restaurant – Hanaya, located in Lisbon. The eclectic concept of the place – a cozy drawing room of the European who is deep in Japan – was inspired by travel of authors across Portugal and their old interest in Japanese culture. Almost imperceptible interlacings of quotes from traditional Portuguese esthetics and the principles of Japanese philosophy connect history, art, the nature and modern everyday life. So, for example, ornaments of stone lace from the Monserat palace located in Sintra became a prototype of stamped wall of the hall. The metal facade of a bar counter repeats drawing of a typical Portuguese tile and causes associations with raw fish – a basis of Japanese cuisine. And shades of conventional scales – a tribute to one of symbols of Portugal – a blue sardine. Simplicity, “dampness”, incompleteness and understatement, common to Japanese esthetics, break and animate form of a drawing room by the wine bar from metal fittings, flower cache-pots from the rusted industrial details, unexpected wooden fragment of an ancient Portuguese mill. Pictures of the Portuguese artist Victor Teixseira living on Madeira island became bright visual accent of the atmosphere. Being scenery for refined Japanese cuisine from one of the best sushi teams of Europe, this interior of implications communicates with the guest more than in two languages.
The construction of an object suitable for screening an open-air cinema programme was the pretext for transforming the Belém Cultural Center Square, in Lisbon (Manuel Salgado and Vittorio Gregotti, 1992), into a living space for the thousands of people who visit CCB during the summer months.
The Coffee Grill restaurant located in historical center of Lisbon – one more Portuguese project of Yaroslav Galant innovative design studio. The new place represents an eclectic haute cuisine and fascinating, chatty interior. The most part of interior items was created upon the project of Yaroslav Galant. To keep history of the beautiful ancient building a part of which is the two-level space of restaurant, authors of the project opened and restored earlier hidden wooden overlappings, restored mezzanine, windows, cleared and left open a natural stone of external walls.
Located in the south of Portugal, in an area that serves as a transition between the Sea and the land. It is located in the village of Alcalar, a few kilometers from Portimão, where 5000 years ago was settled an important Prehistoric community.
An old house, in the heart of the city of Pinhel, holds place to a new bar/restaurant which aims to be a reference in the city’s historical center.
From the old and dark original house, the proposal kept and took advantage of the solid granite perimetral walls and the wooden roof structure that along with a selective demolition process created a new fluid and bright inside space.
From the exposed rock wall a new rocklike volume is built in concrete, organizing the space and the public/service circuits and areas.
The apartment is located on the first floor of a building that was constructed in the second half of the 19th century on an area of landfill established along the Lisbon waterfront in the wake of the 1755 earthquake.
Letting natural light enter in the space was the concept for the development of this space.
The space was originally segmented with several work areas and where natural light was none and very dark rooms. The basic idea for the creation was immediately liberat-ed from the whole area, transforming it into an open space.
The store integrates a housing project designed in the late 60’s, in a composition that reveals a late modernism. The existing space was divided into two distinct zones: a large floor at the ground level and an upper store overlooking the main space and the courtyard to the north.
Having as a starting point a shoe store built in the late ’90s, this new commercial space—which targets a very specific (and demanding) market with a wide range of products—required a project designed to have great flexibility in the presentation of the products, generate a space with a strong, recognizable and repeatable image, while achieving it at a very low cost.
The house is located on a piece of land in Ourém, characterized by its rectangular configuration, with a descending slope in the south direction (next to the public road). The difference in height between the highest point and the lowest point is approximately 4.50m. It is a farmland with a natural landscape, facing south and overlooking the Castle of Ourém.
