架构师提供的文本描述。南秀村是南京青年知识分子的一个生机勃勃的大熔炉，对文学、艺术和设计有着浓厚的兴趣。这一地区之所以受欢迎，可以归因于它靠近著名的南京大学，外国学生最近的增长，以及西方和国际影响力的不断提高。创意区是自我表达和包容的代名词-听到“他”和“尼豪斯”的交流是很常见的。

Text description provided by the architects. Nanxiucun is a bustling and vivacious melting pot for young Nanjing intellectuals with interests in literature, art and design. The popularity of the area can be attributed to its proximity to the renowned Nanjing University, the recent growth of foreign students and increasing status of western and international influences. The creative district is synonymous with self-expression and inclusivity - it is common to hear exchanges of both ‘hellos’ and ‘Ni Haos’.

FANAF的建筑师是长期的客户暂停，并设计了翻新咖啡厅.根据他们对该地区的熟悉程度，阿富汗武装部队决定使用相互矛盾的概念-现代和传统-来代表该地区的多文化和多方面性质。

FANAF’s architects are long-time regular customers of Pause, and also designed the renovated cafe. Drawing from their familiarity of the area, FANAF decided to use contradictory concepts - modern and traditional - to represent the multicultural and multifaceted nature of the district.

设计采用中性竹和黑钢两种主要材料.传统的竹子主要用于地板、柜台和咖啡桌表面等水平元素，而黑色钢则改变了墙壁、陈列架和橱柜等垂直元素。不同的主题代表了咖啡厅基础的核心是如何维持的，而对改变的开放则是将新的和不同的概念纳入空间的先驱。

The design utilised neutral-coloured bamboo and black steel as the two main materials. Traditional bamboo was mainly used for the horizontal elements, such as the floorboards and surface of the counters and coffee tables, while the black steel transformed the vertical elements such as the walls, display shelves and cabinets. The contrasting themes represent how the heart of the cafe’s foundations has been maintained, while openness to change has pioneered the incorporation of new and different concepts into the space.

虽然整体空间很小，但咖啡厅内的设计元素提供了丰富的空气。入口由一个灰色空间组成，通向一个为放松而设计的露台。在南京雨季期间，许多顾客喜欢到这个地区坐下来听雨。酒吧的主要空间大约有四米；晚上，许多年轻人喜欢聚在一起进行社交活动。

Although the overall space is small, the design elements embedded within the cafe provide an air of abundance. The entrance comprises of a grey space, opening up into a terrace designed for relaxation. During the rainy season in Nanjing, many clients like to come to this area to sit and listen to the rain. The main bar space encompasses around four metres; at night many young people enjoy gathering around to socialise.
