The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated transformations, such as teleworking or sustainable mobility, that are here to stay. Other alterations may be temporary, but 2020 will be remembered as the year when we enjoyed the interior of our homes the most. Although video calls and take-away food are trending, this is no excuse for forgetting the importance of public space. The street is still the main showcase and that is why NAKANO did not give up on commissioning an architectural project to land in the city of Alicante.This new Japanese take- away specialising in ramen and sushi has adapted its opening to the circumstances.

项目位于阿利坎特市中心，狭长的空间代表了此类餐厅应具备的速度与品质。曲面瓷砖墙将顾客传送至光线柔和的日本隧道，如同一场穿越东京之夜的旅程。设计的要素是光线对比，它使顾客取餐空间和骑手传送空间具有不同的明暗程度。餐厅右侧的空间排列着木屑和混凝土制成的深色饰面板，板上设有不同的绿植窗口。
Located in the centre of Alicante, the design takes advantage of its narrowness to materialise the values of speed and quality that this type of premises should transmit. As if it were a journey through the Tokyo night, the curved stoneware wall transports the customers to a Japanese underground tunnel bathed in warm light. The contrast of light is the main element that shades the difference between the pick-up space – intended for customers – and the delivery space – reserved for riders. In this way, the space on the right, lined with dark boards made of wood particles and concrete, generates different openings for vegetation.

柜台标志着餐厅的厨房、厕所和储藏室等私密区域，它们采用同样的瓷砖墙面。添加丙烯酸甲酯的橙色背发光板和NAKANO标识营造出优雅的东方形象。该项目极具表现力，将日式生活的各个方面传递给顾客，使他们在享受美食的同时具有丰富的体验。
The bar marks the private area of the takeaway, which includes the kitchen, toilets and storeroom, clad by the same stoneware as the walls. In addition, an orange backlit methacrylate contributes, together with the NAKANO signs, to generate an image of oriental sophistication. A project with a great expressive charge that allows aspects of Japanese life to be transferred so that the visitor is impregnated with the experience while enjoying the gastronomy.
