架构师提供的文本描述。面条汤是中国各地常见的街头食品。虽然这些面馆大多花费了巨大的精力来赢得有品味的顾客，但一些人已经开始在他们的品牌菜谱中添加有吸引力的商店设计。龙晓宝就是一个很好的例子，他刚踏入长沙，一心想把当地的邵阳式米粉推广到中国其他地方。卢克工作室受托为他们的第一家餐厅构思当代特色，通过重新诠释面条架，将面条制作的传统融入到空间设计中。

Text description provided by the architects. Noodle soup is a common street food all over China. While most of these noodle joints spend tremendous effort to win customers with taste, some has started to add attractive store design into their branding recipe. A good example is LongXiaoBao, a newcomer who sets foot in Changsha with an ambition to spread the local ShaoYang style rice noodle to the rest of China. Commissioned to conceive a contemporary identity for their first restaurant, Lukstudio integrates the tradition of noodle making in the spatial design by reinterpreting a noodle rack.

坐落在湘江附近的一座户外购物长廊上，50平方米的面条接缝散发出一种平静而神秘的存在，它的竹浇铸混凝土店面。两个乡村钢箱穿透了庄严的外表：较高的一个用生锈的钢板包裹着，它的近邻像一个金属脚手架。这三个要素共同构成了一个发现之旅。

Nestled along an outdoor shopping promenade nearby the Xiangjiang River, the 50-sqm noodle joint exudes a calm yet mysterious presence with its bamboo-cast concrete storefront. Two rustic steel boxes penetrate through the solemn exterior: the taller one is cladded with rusted steel panels and its shorter neighbor is built like a metal scaffold. These three elements together orchestrate a journey of discovery.

走过入口盒，一个顾客受到一个组合的柜台设计的欢迎，里面有用来浇铸外露的竹模。当一个人向网格结构周围的光环前进时，内部层开始显现自己。首先，原墙被剥离到其结构块上，与乡村金属网格产生共鸣。第二，木箱仔细放置在机架内，以展示选定的瓷器。最后，一系列金属线被悬垂在餐厅，以创造照明功能与悬挂灯泡。平衡乡村内部，这些反光股创造了一个诗意的概念，在面条架下就餐。

Walking past the entry box, a customer is greeted by a composed counter design lined with the bamboo mold used for casting the exteriors. As one proceeds towards the halo surrounding the grid structure, the interior layers start revealing themselves. Firstly, the original wall is stripped down to its structural blocks to resonate with the rustic metal grid. Secondly, wooden boxes are carefully placed within the rack to showcase selected porcelains. Finally, a series of metal wires are draped across the dining room to create the lighting feature with hanging bulbs. Balancing the rustic interiors, these reflective strands create a poetic notion of dining under a noodle rack.

鲁克工作室利用乡村与精致、东方传统与西方表象之间的二重性，引入了快餐连锁店与高档餐厅之间的交叉。面条架不同于中国每一条街道上媚俗快餐“墙上的洞”的污名。它展示了中国餐馆是如何有潜力再生成为时尚聚集区的，可以与咖啡店的新趋势相媲美。

Playing with the duality between rustic and refined, eastern tradition and western representation, Lukstudio introduces a crossover between fast food chain and upscale diner. The Noodle Rack differentiates itself from the stigma of kitsch fast food “hole in the wall” on every street of China. It demonstrates how Chinese eateries have the potentials to be reborn into hip gathering spots comparable to the new trend of cafés.
