这是皇家公园14年来最大规模的动员活动。这项高调的委托包括在蛇形湖附近提供一个咖啡馆，以及9个 “手工制作 “的售货亭，以取代海德公园、绿色公园和圣詹姆斯公园现有场地上的老化食品售货亭。最近建立的结构，即位于圣詹姆斯公园的旗舰马蹄弯售货亭，采用管状黄铜包覆，与附近托马斯-布洛克爵士的维多利亚女王纪念碑的华丽贵金属相映成趣。
Characterising the largest mobilisation The Royal Parks has seen in 14 years. The high-profile commission included the delivery of a coffee house near the Serpentine lake, as well as nine “handcrafted” kiosks to replace aging food kiosks on existing sites across Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park. The most recently erected structure, the flagship Horseshoe Bend kiosk in St James’s Park, is clad in tubular brass and mirrors the ornate precious metals of the nearby Sir Thomas Brock’s Queen Victoria Memorial.
为了回应被列为一级的景观，Mizzi工作室设计了每一个售货亭，使其在环境中显得很有特色。独立的售货亭被设想为一个独立的曲线结构的家族，有一个优雅的树状天幕，将其设计语言统一起来。最初的八个亭子是用手工 “蒸汽弯曲 “的英国橡木包覆的，是与英国设计师和制造商汤姆-拉菲尔德合作开发的。
Responding to the Grade I listed landscape, Mizzi Studio has designed each kiosk to sit sympathetically in its environment. The freestanding kiosks are conceived as a family of individual curvaceous structures with a graceful tree-like canopy that unites their design language. The initial eight kiosks are clad in hand “steam-bent” English oak timber, developed in collaboration with British designer and maker Tom Raffield.
在背景中。马蹄弯售货亭和皇家公园的家庭舰队。 售货亭的360度雕塑式顶棚像树冠一样向外膨胀，形成可识别的轮廓。有机灵感的体量遵循一个连续的形状，具有不同程度的曲率和不同的包层轮廓，每一个都提供了对比的纹理。每种设计变化都是由与亭子共享空间的建筑或有机元素所决定的。Mizzi工作室的主任Jonathan Mizzi与科利奇的董事Rob Colicci一起，花了几个月的时间来探索公园的遗产。每个售货亭都是独一无二的，为其各自所在地的历史、细微差别和人口统计学而定制。
In context: Horseshoe Bend Kiosk and The Royal Parks Family Fleet. The kiosks’ 360-degree sculptural canopy swells outwards like a tree’s crown, creating recognisable silhouettes. The organic- inspired volumes follow a continuous shape with varying degrees of curvature and differing cladding profiles, each providing contrasting textures. Each design variation is informed by the architectural or organic elements that the kiosk shares its space with. Together with Colicci’s Director Rob Colicci, Jonathan Mizzi, Director of Mizzi Studio, spent months exploring the parks’ heritage. Each kiosk is unique, tailored to the history, nuances, and demographics of its respective site.
马蹄弯售货亭的材质与Mizzi工作室的蛇形山咖啡馆相得益彰，它距离扎哈-哈迪德的蛇形山赛克勒画廊仅数米之遥，在一个方向可以看到风景如画的蛇形山湖，另一个方向则是戴安娜公主纪念喷泉。咖啡馆是俯冲和蜿蜒的，灵感来自于湖泊本身和黄貂鱼的飞行运动。其雕塑般的黄铜屋顶给人以巨大的金色披风的感觉，被拉到整个结构的上空，给它所处的青翠的风景带来运动和质感。
The materiality of the Horseshoe Bend kiosk marries with Mizzi Studio’s Serpentine Coffee House, sited metres away from Zaha Hadid’s Serpentine Sackler Gallery, with views towards the picturesque Serpentine Lake in one direction and the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in the other. The coffee house is swooping and sinuous, inspired by both the lake itself and the motion of a stingray’s flight. Its sculptural brass roof gives the appearance of a giant golden cape being pulled through the air over the entire structure, bringing movement and texture to the verdant landscape in which it sits.
米兹工作室多年来与科利奇合作了许多项目，包括在伦敦斯特拉福德购物中心的铜制咖啡馆和位于一级古迹布希公园的The Pheasantry咖啡馆，该项目屡获殊荣。他们的联合作品都非常注重工艺、与自然的联系以及创造令人难忘的雕塑时刻。
Mizzi Studio has collaborated with Colicci on a number of projects over the years, including the multi award-winning copper café at London’s Westfield Stratford shopping centre and The Pheasantry Café within Grade I Listed Bushy Park. Their joint body of work has had a strong focus on craftsmanship, a connection with nature, and creating memorable sculptural moments.
