这个空间的设计是为了拥抱格林威治村一直以来充满活力的街头生活，格林威治村曾被视为城市居住的典范。餐厅占据了一个转角空间，面向街道的墙面上有大面积的窗户延伸，两侧折叠的开放式板式店面，餐厅成为外面繁华街道生活的延伸。充满自然光的前餐厅中央摆放着两张公共餐桌，后墙则是以浅灰色皮革为软垫的桦木长椅，伴随着薄荷绿底座上的白色大理石餐桌贯穿整个房间。后面的吧台铺上薄荷绿的瓷砖，上面悬挂着照明金属网，体现了附近的街头气息。地面主要是浇筑的混凝土，模糊了街道和餐厅之间的界限，以银色镶嵌的灰白色水磨石瓷砖长方形作为点缀，公共餐桌就在这里。
The space is designed to embrace the all-time dynamic street life of Greenwich Village, which was once regarded as a paradigm of urban dwelling. Occupying a corner space with large windows stretching across the street-facing walls and an open panelized storefront folded on both sides, the dining room becomes an extension of the bustling street life outside. Flooded with natural light, the front dining room houses two communal tables at center, while birch banquette seating upholstered with light gray leather lines the back wall, accompanied by white marble tables atop mint green bases throughout the room. A bar counter at the back is tiled in mint green, with illuminated metal mesh hanging above, reflecting the street vibes of the neighborhood. The floor is primarily poured concrete that blurs the boundary between the street and the restaurant, accented by a silver-inlaid grey-and-white terrazzo tile rectangle, where the communal tables sit.
吧台后面是一个瓷砖柜台，这里是点餐和准备食物的地方。左边的走廊连接着白漆砖墙上的几个壁龛，用于展示。浅粉色的霓虹灯牌照亮了客人排队点餐的地方，为色彩搭配增添了对比色。走廊的尽头是后面的房间–一个更小、更安静的用餐区，墙壁上陈列着艺术品。
Beyond the bar is a tiled counter where food is ordered and prepared. A corridor to the left connects several niches on the white-painted brick wall for display. A light pink neon sign illuminates where guests lining up to order, adding a contrasting tint to the color palette. The corridor ends at the back room—a smaller, quieter dining area with art displayed on the walls.
为了重塑美国人对中国文化的认知，设计团队避免使用传统的、老生常谈的图案或符号，而是选择玩转简单的形式和对比鲜明的色系。”颜色的灵感来自于中国北方早春时节的童年记忆，当时这类食物是由家庭按照农历传统制作的。薄荷绿的颜色与雪白的颜色相映成趣，再加上天然桦树的温润质感，这种组合完美地抓住了外观、清新的气味和发芽生长的精神，这也是空间氛围的关键所在”。徐辉说。定制的薄荷绿瓷片覆盖了服务台，与空间内的白砖和浅灰色混凝土形成对比。店面的不同面孔用薄荷绿和白色精心修饰，沿街面营造出纯白的视觉效果，与地标性建筑美学融为一体。
In effort to reframe the perception of Chinese culture in the US, the design team refrained from using traditional, clichéd patterns or symbols, instead chose to play with simple form and contrasting color palettes. “The color inspiration came through a childhood memory of the early spring season in Northern China, when this type of food is made by families following the lunar calendar tradition. Mint-green color against snow white, along with warm texture of natural birch, the combination perfectly captures the look, the fresh smell and the spirit of germination and growth, which is the key to the ambience of the space.” Xuhui said. Custom made, mint green porcelain tiles cover the service counter, contrasting with the white-brick and light grey concrete lining the space. Different faces of the storefront are meticulously finished in mint green and white, creating a pure white visual effect along the street-front, blending in with the landmarked building aesthetic.
天花板上悬挂着黄铜吊灯，提供了一种金属质感，由乳白色的球形灯泡照亮，将空间的氛围从白天过渡到夜晚。为了在一个空间内容纳多种服务，设计团队引入了一个多功能的平面图，以及在整个空间内呈现动态颜色和色调的照明系统，以随着音乐、菜单和时间的变化调整氛围。
Brass pendant lighting hangs from the ceiling, providing a metallic accent, illuminated by milky white spherical bulbs that transition the space’s ambience from day to night. To accommodate multiple services within one space, the design team introduced a versatile floor plan, along with a lighting system that renders dynamic colors and shades throughout the space, to adjust the vibe with changes of music, menu and time.
