Kokaistudios’ first Singapore project is an 846-square-metre hospitality interior celebrating cultural synergy through its dynamic and vibrant aesthetics.
January 13th, 2025
SUSHISAMBA, renowned for its unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culinary and cultural elements, has launched its latest venture at Singapore’s iconic Capital Tower. Located on the 52nd floor, this new addition to the global SUSHISAMBA network offers a distinctive dining and entertainment experience, combining innovative design with unparalleled views of Singapore’s skyline.
The design by Kokaistudios takes cues from Japanese influences in the form of meticulous balance, geometric precision and use of natural materials. Meanwhile, the Brazilian and Peruvian heritage shines through in bold colours, intricate textiles and exuberant finishes.

A standout feature of the space is its 3D-printed bamboo vaulted ceiling, soaring eight-and-a-half metres high. This architectural marvel creates an organic, tropical ambiance complemented by a lush green wall and cascading greenery. The open layout ensures panoramic 360-degree views, bringing Singapore’s urban and oceanic landscapes into dialogue during the dining experience.
The venue is divided into distinct zones, each offering a unique atmosphere. The restaurant side provides an immersive culinary journey with an open kitchen counter, while the bar lounge exudes energy and vibrancy. For more intimate gatherings, there are three private dining rooms, each with a distinct identity, as well as an exclusive mezzanine-level VIP area with its own bar.

SUSHISAMBA’s arrival in Singapore aligns with its commitment to innovative, experiential fine dining. Its seamless integration of tropical design elements with the cosmopolitan environment underscores its global reputation. The project, spearheaded by Kokaistudios’ chief designers Filippo Gabbiani and Andrea Destefanis, is a testament to the synergy of design and culture.
As SUSHISAMBA breathes new life into Capital Tower, it promises to be a premier destination for both locals and visitors, celebrating the vibrant convergence of three rich cultural traditions in the heart of Singapore.
