Mecha Uma is a restaurant interior designed as a culinary performance venue in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila. The 64 square meter space serves creative Japanese cuisine to two sets of ten guests each night. A counter surrounds the open kitchen, and seating is arranged so that the chef and the guests meet at the same level while each dish is introduced. The material theme is raw, with concrete, steel, copper, glass and wood. A light sculptural cloud hovers above the kitchen, recalling a thought cloud drawn in comic books.
