Temple Records

Temple Records is a bar where music, design, and dining come together in perfect rhythm. Inspired by the intimate listening bars of 1950s Japan, the space embodies Wabi-Sabi principles—embracing imperfect beauty, warmth, and authenticity. Every design element enhances the experience, creating an atmosphere that’s both immersive and inviting.

Below, the sushi den offers a refined escape, centered around a custom Hinoki wood bar, where tradition and craftsmanship take center stage. Collaborating closely with the owner and head chef, we brought their vision to life—creating a space that’s as much about sound and design as it is about exceptional hospitality.
