Although Niwa translates to “garden” in Japanese, the restaurant isn’t overly indulgent of its inspiration. Instead of having plants perched on every opportune surface, the intimate dining room features only subtle touches of greenery. Designed by Claire Saksun of Saksun Studio, Niwa features clean lines, austere finishes, and a muted colour palette. The natural yet subtle textures of selected Ash paneling work cohesively with earth-toned textiles to create a balanced and refined feeling space.
