Upon entering the lobby, guests pass through tall, ornate wooden doors, hand crafted by local artisans, and are immediately greeted by sweeping ocean views and an immersive art installation paying tribute to ancient Mayan architecture and Tulum’s surroundings.

Nara-Ya is a high-end Japanese sushi restaurant located in Washington D.C., designed by David Chenault and inspired by the weird and wonderful. It is non-conforming yet chic and timeless. When approached by the owners to design a new Japanese Izakaya-style restaurant, there was a specific design brief to create an entirely unconventional space for what would otherwise be a traditional Japanese eatery. Nara-Ya’s design personality is androgynous and non-conforming. The project is an emotion that stirs all five senses; it is chic, bold, trendy, yet timeless.
