位于一个旧的银行大厅，Banq被分为两个部分：一个酒吧和一个餐厅。空间的设计是围绕着天花板与地面的关系进行构思的。 如果说地面需要为餐厅空间的变化活动提供灵活性，那么天花板就包含了作为建筑基础设施一部分的固定项目–结构、排水、机械设备、喷淋系统、照明和其他声学系统。
Located in an old banking hall, Banq is divided into two segments: a bar and a restaurant. The design of the space is conceptualized around the relationship of the ceiling to the ground. If the ground needs to be flexible for the changing activities of the restaurant space, then the ceiling contains fixed programs that are part of the building’s infrastructure– the structure, drainage, mechanical equipment, sprinkler system, lighting, and other the acoustic systems.
我们在纵轴上开发了一个条纹的桦木胶合板条系统，隐藏了上面的系统，同时提供了一个虚拟的天幕，在这个天幕下就餐。 木板条的几何形状符合上面的设备，但它们也是辐射状的，以使其他相邻的设备之间的关系更加平滑。大厅中间的柱子和酒库，起到了支撑虚构的作用，看起来像是悬挂在天花板上。 如果说纵轴强调了无缝的表面，那么侧视图则提供了对上方服务空间的条纹瞥见，并解开了幻觉。
We have developed a striated birch plywood-slatted system on the longitudinal axis that conceals the systems above while offering a virtual canopy under which to dine. The geometry of the wood slats conforms to the equipment above, but they are also radiused to smoothen the relationship between other adjoining equipment. The columns and the wine storage, in the middle of the hall, serve to uphold the fiction, and appear suspended from the ceiling. If the longitudinal axis emphasizes the seamless surface, then lateral views offer striated glimpses into the service space above, and demystify the illusion.
为了强调这一策略，天花板的某些区域 “坍塌”，承认了放置出口标志、照明功能和其他细节的位置。 在天花板下面，用餐空间的功能方面是用温暖的木材和重新层压的竹子制作的，放大了整个空间已经在发挥作用的条纹影响。地面、家具和天花板上的条纹都共同创造了一个整体效果，将食客嵌入到餐厅的纹理中。
To underline this strategy, certain areas of the ceiling “slump”, acknowledging the location of to place exit signs, lighting features, and other details. Below the ceiling, the functional aspects of a dining space are fabricated with warm woods and re-laminated bamboo amplifying the striping affect already at play throughout the space. Striations of the ground, the furnishings, and the ceiling all conspire to create a total effect, embedding the diners into the grain of the restaurant.
