Kosushi

The architects at Studio Arthur Casas monumentally succeeded in their desire to create “a new world” with the creation of Kosushi Miami. The atmosphere at Kosushi offers customers the “experience of Japanese vernacular architecture combined with contemporary references“. The restaurant’s design was inspired by Japanese carpentry, or more particularly the “art of joinery”. The Art of joinery specifically focuses on “creating wooden structures with complex joints without the use of glue or metal supports“. And when it comes to architecture, you can see why this can be a particularly challenging job. Yet the design of this restaurant in Miami is the most stunning intricate assemblage of wood-work you may ever see in your lifetime. Kosushi Miami is like stepping into a futuristic light oak toned maze of cubes that stretches from wall to ceiling. It is a total sensory experience from start to finish!

SuViche Doral

SuViche is a popular restaurant in Miami. With five locations, and a feature at Marlin’s Park, SuViche delivers a vibrant and delicious mix of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. Saladino Design Studios brought a design to the Doral location that is a perfect representation of the restaurant’s bursts of flavor and color. Incorporating rope swings into the design added a playful touch customers continue to enjoy. While the use of colorful rope inspired by traditional Peruvian materials, precisely hung on the walls and ceiling brings a bright welcoming atmosphere that instantly brings a smile to your face. The ceiling features hanging planters and wicker light fixtures. More hanging swings line a wall full of floral artwork with a green moss sign that reads “Let’s get Saucy!” Between the bold flavors of the food, unique swinging seating, and colorful cheerful atmosphere, SuViche Doral has made our list of must see restaurants in Miami.
