Tsunami Highland

Tsunami at Highland is the newest location of the Tsunami brand. To enhance the brand's decades-long legacy, we designed an evocative interior incorporating Tsunami's signature elements like water motifs, beaded curtains, and an urban escape ambiance.

Defining the entrance to Tsunami within this modern multi-use building was important in setting the mood. A custom brass portal to transition guests from the bustling urban exterior to the tranquil, sophisticated ambiance of the restaurant. One of the initial design challenges was addressing the vast ceiling heights, which led to one of the most defining features, 900 brass pipes hanging from the ceiling in a 3-dimensional waveform.

Additionally, in the main dining room, a gridded walnut wall inspired by shoji screens and traditional Japanese joinery creates warmth.

A quiet moment at Tsunami Highland, saturated in deep blues and a watery wallcovering.
