架构师提供的文本描述。近年来，莫斯科对所谓的“酒吧”有了一种品味：“秘密”饮酒场所，在那里你需要与老板或至少是一个普通的酒馆接触。其中之一的入口隐藏在一座十八世纪建筑的内部四合院里，它位于一个历史街区的中心位置。说话体裁的规则要求没有标志，所以只有那些知道去哪里的人才会找到路。从梯子上走下八步，这里也是鸡尾酒原料的储藏处，一位游客发现自己在一个两室秘密的地下场所，具有讽刺意味的是，这个场所被称为“公共酒吧”(PublicBar)。

Text description provided by the architects. In recent years Moscow has developed a taste for the so-called speakeasy bars: “secret” drinking venues where you need to be acquainted with the owner or, at least, a regular to get in. The entrance to one of these is hidden within the inner courtyard of a XVIII century building in a historic neighborhood situated centrally. The rules of the speakeasy genre require the absence of a sign, so only those who know where to go would find the way. Eight steps down a ladder, that also serves as a storage for cocktail ingredients, and a visitor finds himself in a two-room clandestine underground venue, ironically called the Public Bar.

设计理念的实现分为两个步骤：第一，在表面涂上可选择的材料(混凝土)，在视觉上巩固空间。第二，通过精心挑选的细节来增加人物和阴谋。

The design concept was implemented in two steps: firstly, the surfaces were coated with the material of choice (concrete) to visually consolidate the space. Secondly, character and intrigue were added by carefully chosen details.

第一个房间容纳混凝土条柜和四个小桌子安装在墙上。镜子和黄铜瓶架覆盖着三面墙中的两面，在昏暗的灯光下闪闪发光，营造了神奇的酒吧氛围。酒吧内部是简洁的，但仔细检查，充满了独特的触摸整个桌子腿，看上去像波莫雕塑，几何图案的XIX世纪法国瓷砖，和黄铜细节。所有的小东西，但必要的东西，如衣架，烟灰缸，WC器皿，支架，以及美丽的黄铜灯上方的柜台是与艺术家玛丽亚费多洛娃合作设计的。从混凝土地板中长出一个实心、冷感和微水泡的混凝土棒计数器，并将其溶入混凝土墙中。

The first room accommodates the concrete bar counter and four small tables mounted into the wall. Mirror and brass-bottle shelves that cover two of the three walls gleam in the dim light, building up that magic bar ambiance. The bar interior is laconic yet, upon closer examination, filled with unique touches throughout table legs that look like PoMo sculptures, geometrically patterned XIX century French tiles, and brass details. All the small but necessary things, like hangers, ashtrays, WC utensils, holders, as well as beautiful brass lamp above the counter were designed in collaboration with the artist Maria Fedorova. A solid, cool to the touch and slightly vesicular concrete bar counter grows out of the concrete floor and merges into the concrete wall.

第二个房间是一个极简式的鸡尾酒环境，在一盏手工制作的台灯下，用旧砖块和混凝土做背景，在公共桌子上啜饮。在改造的过程中，一个混凝土的“杯子”覆盖了三分之一的墙壁，插入在这部分的酒吧空间，这是连续框架的房间。

The second room is a minimalistic setting for cocktail sipping at a communal table under a hand-made lamp with a backdrop of old bricks and concrete. During the makeover, a concrete “cup” covering one-third of the wall was inserted inside this part of the bar space, which continuously frames the room.
