Dorae结是韩国的基本传统结之一，指的是将一个结与另一个结连接起来或标志着结的开始和结束的一种结。”Dorae “是一个韩国词，一般在时间或机会临近时使用。”Dorae Knot “是Ryan Kim先生指导的第一家咖啡馆，他在不同领域有长期的接待专家生涯。作为他的第一个结，”Dorae Knot “是以他平静而充满活力的性格为模型，利用了线性格式和网格。

Dorae knot, one of the basic traditional knots in Korea, refers to a knot that connects one knot to another or marks the beginning and the end of the knot. “Dorae” is a Korean word generally used when the time or the chance draws near. “Dorae Knot” is the first café directed by Mr. Ryan Kim, who has a long career as a hospitality expert in diverse fields. “Dorae Knot,” as his first knot, was modeled after his calm yet vigorous character by making use of linear gestaltung and grid.

一进入咖啡馆，首先映入眼帘的是山毛榉制成的线性家具，其明亮和柔和的颜色给人以舒适的感觉。它被涂上了透明的白油，以避免可能的污染的腐败。右边墙上的黑色沙发是由防水的水聚酯天鹅绒制成的，以防止污染，其边缘是圆形的。弯曲的黑色沙发为空间增添了一丝肃穆的气息，加上天然材料的基调和方式以及线性格式。围绕着浓缩咖啡吧和过滤咖啡吧的墙壁和吧台是用Verde Antigua大理石覆盖的。墙的边界线特意安排在与吧台前面的同一直线上，以便工作人员和客人之间的空间可以自发地分开。

Upon entering the café, what stands out first is linear furniture made of beech, whose bright and soft color gives a cozy and comfortable feeling. It is coated with transparent white oil to avoid corruption from possible contamination. The black sofa on the right wall is made of water-repellent Aqua Polyester Velvet to prevent contamination and its edges are rounded off. The curved black sofa adds a slight air of solemnness to the space, along with the tone and manner of natural materials and the linear gestaltung. The wall and the bar table which surround the espresso coffee bar and the filter coffee bar are covered with Verde Antigua marble. The boundary line of the wall is deliberately arranged at the same line as the front of the bar table so that the space between staff and guests can be separated spontaneously.

我们之所以选择Verde Antigua大理石，是因为它精致优雅的绿色与白色和灰色的不规则图案，与 “Dorae Knot “所追求的平静而充满活力的形象相得益彰。至于墙上的天然大理石，我们最大限度地利用了一整块板，同时尽量减少它的接缝缝隙，并用定制颜色的灌浆料填补缝隙，使它在完工后看起来像一块大板。厕所隔断和咖啡吧台之间的厨房墙面用不锈钢装饰，以免它看起来那么拥挤，与吧台的天然大理石形成平衡。地板干净地完成了自流平砂浆的亚光处理，没有任何图案或污点，给人一种平静的印象。为了利用现有的两根横跨天花板的横梁，在天花板上每隔一段距离都有相同形状的额外横梁。

The reason why we chose the Verde Antigua marble is that its delicate and elegant green color with irregular patterns of white and gray goes well with the calm yet vigorous image that “Dorae Knot” aims for. As for the natural marble on the wall, we made maximum use of a whole slab, while minimizing its joint gaps and filling the gaps with grout in customized color to make it look like one large slab when it is completed. The kitchen wall between the toilet partition and the coffee bar is finished with stainless steel lest it should look so cramped, creating a balance with the natural marble at the bar. The floor is cleanly completed with a matt finish on the self-leveling mortar without any patterns or stains to give a calm impression. For taking advantage of two existing beams cutting across the ceiling, additional beams in the same shape are built into the ceiling at regular intervals.

为了与天花板上裸露的混凝土相协调，木梁被仔细地涂上定制的颜色，以表达其混凝土般的质感。为了不因重复梁的存在而遮挡光线，在其侧面的下部配备了照明。间接照明是为了进一步获得空间的密度和深度感。我们选择了4,000K的自然白光来营造温暖和中性的氛围，它包裹着诸如大理石、不锈钢、裸露的混凝土和环氧树脂等可能看起来有些冷的材料。虽然天然大理石和不锈钢在室内提供了视觉体验，但由这些材料制成的门把手可能为客人提供了触觉体验。

To be in harmony with the exposed concrete of the ceiling, the wooden beam is carefully plastered with a customized color to express its concrete-like texture. Lighting is equipped at the lower part of its side in order not to shade the light due to the presence of repeated beams. The indirect lighting is further intended to obtain a sense of density and depth in space. We chose 4,000K natural white light for a warm and neutral atmosphere, which enfolds such materials as marble, stainless steel, exposed concrete, and epoxy that may seem somewhat cold. While natural marble and stainless steel offer a visual experience indoors, the doorknob made of those materials may provide guests with a tactile experience.
