这个项目是为伦敦市的一家新成立的沙拉和慢食咖啡馆设计的，它有一个分裂的个性–它是一个既能容纳我们狂热的工作节奏又能邀请我们放慢速度的空间。它是一家提供慢食的咖啡馆，庆祝其本地采购的原料。因此，建筑有两个任务；解决多种参与速度，并提供一个中性框架，突出菜单上各种形状和颜色的蔬菜、草药、水果和谷物。
The project, for a start-up salad and slow food café in the City of London, has a split personality – it is a space that both accommodates our frenetic work rhythms and invites us to slow down. It is a cafe that serves slow food fast, celebrating its locally sourced ingredients. The architecture therefore has two tasks; to address multiple speeds of engagement, and to provide a neutral framework that foregrounds the various shapes and colors of the vegetables, herbs, fruits, and grains on its menu.
这个空间被不对称地分成两半，下面是一个毗邻街道的外卖柜台，上面是一个新建的夹层中的餐厅。下面的空间是中性的、冷的和硬的，让原材料的明亮颜色和几何形状成为主要材料。上面的调色板是温暖的、有质感的和柔软的，邀请游客聚集在一起，在他们的餐桌上逗留。
The space is asymmetrically divided in half, with a take-out counter adjacent to the street below, and a dining room in a newly constructed mezzanine above. The space below is neutral, cool, and hard, allowing the bright colors and geometries of the raw produce to be the primary material. Above, the palette is warm, textured, and soft, inviting visitors to gather and linger over their meal.
为了在物理上划分，但在视觉上连接这两个不同的空间，Neiheiser Argyros建造了一个白色金属网格。作为对传统农夫棚架的现代呼应，该网格容纳了植物、鲜花、药草、菜单标牌和综合座位。这个简单的装置在一个单一的姿态中阐明了多种空间关系；定义了主要空间，框定了视图，策划了运动，并为商店提供了一个定义性的身份。
To physically divide, but visually connect these two distinct spaces Neiheiser Argyros have constructed a white metal grid. A contemporary echo of the traditional farmer’s trellis, the grid hosts plants, flowers, herbs, menu signage, and integrated seating. This simple device articulates multiple spatial relationships in a single gesture; defining the primary spaces, framing views, curating movement, and providing a defining identity for the store.
我们为服务台的展示设计了一个定制的梯形可丽耐板台面，它始终面向顾客。虽然所有的食材都是以三排梯田的形式陈列在一起，但我们希望每一种食材的颜色和质地都能脱颖而出。因此，我们用白色的可丽耐板填充物仔细校准了每一种食材之间的间距，视觉上的空隙使每一种食材都能独立于其他的食材而阅读。
We designed a custom-formed terraced corian counter-top for the servery display which is always facing the customer. While all the ingredients are displayed together in three terraced rows, we wanted each one’s color and texture to stand out. We therefore carefully calibrated the spacing between each ingredient with white corian infills, visual gaps that allowed each ingredient to read independently from the rest of the group.
