Modern restaurant interior with wooden paneling, large windows showing a snowy forest, gray seating, black tables, and soft ambient lighting. Cozy and inviting.

Intricate wooden lattice with intersecting beams creates a geometric pattern, conveying a sense of complexity and craftsmanship against a dark background.

Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Japanese interiors, the space incorporates subtle wabi-sabi influences and natural forms, all set against a color palette inspired by the breathtaking Vail landscape. The all-wood aesthetic celebrates the beauty of materials, while dark metal accents introduce a contemporary edge. This thoughtful interplay of warmth and simplicity within the clean architectural lines fosters a harmonious, inviting atmosphere that feels both timeless and rooted in place.

“Like the philosophy of Japanese cuisine, the overall expression of the interiors is simplistic, pure and refined, where minimalism is an art form, the essence of the material boldly shines, and the breathtaking Alpine views draw the eye.”

— Joelle Henning, Senior Designer, HBA
