Restaurant Interior Build-Out in Bunkyo, Tokyo|Precision LGS Framing & PB Finishing
- 2025.04.14
Hello, this is Kikuchi Soken Co., Ltd.
We are based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and provide interior construction and restoration services across the Kanto region and throughout Japan.
Today, we would like to introduce a new restaurant interior construction project carried out in Koishikawa, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.
In particular, this article will focus on the ceiling LGS (light gauge steel) framework and PB (plasterboard) installation, along with photos from the job site.
LGS Ceiling Framework Installation
The work began from a bare skeleton state, starting with the installation of LGS.
With numerous HVAC ducts and facility piping in the ceiling area, precision in layout and non-interference with existing systems were key to success.

▲ LGS framing installed around HVAC ducts.
This photo shows how the LGS framework was carefully constructed to navigate around ductwork and equipment.
Both pre-construction planning and on-site adjustments were crucial.

▲ Interior LGS framing in progress.
The framing extended to the ceiling, walls, and counter areas, all constructed with precise measurements.
Due to the high density of piping and ducts, such restaurant interiors often present complex challenges.
Plasterboard Installation (PB Work)
Next, after completing the LGS framework, PB was installed one panel at a time with care.
Special attention was required around electrical equipment and openings, making this a highly skilled process.

▲ PB being carefully applied around electrical panels and wiring. This process directly impacts the finish quality.

▲ The panels are gradually installed, clearly defining the shape of the space.
Completed Interior Photos
Here is a look at the completed interior after finishing touches were applied.
The ceiling, ventilation hoods, and indirect lighting have been beautifully integrated, resulting in a stylish and functional dining environment.

Please note that our scope of work for this project covered only the LGS ceiling framing and PB installation.
However, as you can see, the full buildout resulted in a beautiful finished space.
