CasaMaki sushi bar is located on the Piazza della Rinascita in Pescara. Given it's European location, designer Studio Zero85 wanted to bring some of the cuisine's origin to the restaurant.

To achieve this, the locally based studio created a series of house-shaped volumes in the dining areas. Made up of white coated metal frames, each one surrounds a table and two seats.

"Sushi is the object of a transformation from the 1300s to the early 1900s, evolving from a means of preserving fresh fish to a quick meal consumed in the markets of Tokyo," said the studio, who previously completed a hilltop house for an artist in the Italian countryside.

"This street food has conditioned the appearance of the project and the choice of the form of the house, which in its simplest form is an overlapping of rooflines that covered the market stalls," they added.
