東京都目黒区・都立大学駅近くの家庭料理とナチュラルワインの店である。居抜き店舗の内装を活かしながら、店主夫妻それぞれの持ち場となるカウンターを設えた。キッチン側は既存カウンターを下地として利用し、バーカウンターは下地から新規に制作し、水色のテラゾタイルで仕上げている。入口正面には黄色いグラスシェルフを設け、来客を出迎えるアイキャッチとした。ラフな既存の内装とヴィンテージ家具の中に、水色のテラゾや黄色いオリジナルプロダクトを散りばめ、陽気で楽しいご夫婦がつくる食卓を表現した。

Located near Toritsu-daigaku Station in Meguro, Tokyo, this restaurant offers a selection of homestyle cooking paired with natural wine. While preserving the raw character of the former tenant’s interior, the renovation introduces bespoke counters tailored to the respective roles of the husband-and-wife owners. The kitchen-side counter repurposes the existing structure as its base, whereas the bar counter was newly fabricated from the ground up; both are unified with light blue terrazzo tile tops. A yellow glass shelf is positioned directly across from the entrance, serving as a vibrant focal point to welcome guests. By accenting the original textures and vintage furniture with light blue terrazzo and custom yellow elements, the design captures the cheerful and warm dining experience hosted by the couple.
