Building off of the brand’s Brazilian/Japanese cuisine, the design
incorporates weathered wood, terrazzo floors inspired by the
patterns of Ipanema and Rio de Janeiro, walls of unique street
art, and sculptural banquets of wood and multi-hued leather”.
The main goal of the architect was to create a memorable in-
door/outdoor entertainment and dining experience, for that, and
based on the British garden tradition, they build a unique “gar-
den in the sky”!
In the main room, you can find a full height green trellis wall
that extends to the 24-foot-high ceiling. Adding some dimension
to the area, you have a vault of bamboo, punctuated by hand-
crafted lit coloured glass sculpture, creating a fantastic ambience.
The different levels of the space are connected by a sweeping
sculptural stairway of glass and metal. “CetraRuddy created an
architecturally inspiring ambience combining craft, art, nature
and warmth that reinforces the power of the SUSHISAMBA’s
inventive cuisine”, said Shimon Bokovza, Managing Partner.
SUSHISAMBA will not stop here, it has a promising future! Next
summer, they will be opening in Covent Garden’s famed Opera
Terrace within the historic Market Building. It is located at the
top of the Grade II listed building and comprises c. 9,000 sq. ft.
including a balcony, uniquely positioned with striking rooftop
views across the Piazza. They vow a bold and contemporary ren-
ovation of the site and will then see the existing conservatory
replaced with a new Eric Parry glazed design, creating a stimu-
lating visual addition that is sure to become an iconic element of
the Market Building.
We cannot wait to see this new project!
