No Relation - Designed while at Hacin
No Relation is an intimate, 9-seat omakase restaurant discreetly tucked within Shore Leave in Boston’s South End. Designed to create an immersive and personal dining experience, the space reflects the exclusivity and precision of its culinary offering.
The design embraces a minimalist approach, allowing the focus to remain on the artistry of the sushi. A central chef’s counter serves as the heart of the space, fostering direct interaction between guests and the chef. The material palette is warm and refined, with natural wood, soft lighting, and subtle textures that enhance the intimate scale of the room.
Every element, from the carefully positioned seating to the thoughtful integration of lighting, contributes to an atmosphere of quiet elegance and attention to detail. No Relation is designed to be both understated and transportive—a hidden gem where guests can fully engage in the craft and ritual of the omakase experience.
