GONGU IZAKAYA

BRIEF

The task was to create a bold fusion: the energy of a modern Japanese izakaya, staged within the historic walls of central Riga. Brick walls and vaulted arches weren’t obstacles - they were the setting. The goal: create a space where food, music, and mood collide. A new kind of izakaya-contemporary, spirited, distinctly Asian-anchored in the textures of the past.
