架构师提供的文本描述。Odin Bar和Café位于多伦多市中心的东端，在国王街东边，最近开垦的新加那利区的工业用地与老旧的主要街道和相邻的单身家庭住宅相交。这个街区越来越多地被新建的、当代的玻璃和混凝土共管公寓所定义，就像在底层经常被种植的混凝土外壳零售空间一样。咖啡馆和酒吧的杂交是对这个迅速发展的社区日益增长和多样化的需求的直接反应，受到年轻专业人员和城市居民涌入的刺激。奥丁和它的设计包含了邻里新精致的工业美学，以及人们饮食、工作和社交方式的不断变化的文化，以及日夜变化带来的顽皮的复杂性。

Text description provided by the architects. Odin Bar and Café is located in downtown Toronto’s east end on King Street East, where the recently reclaimed industrial lands of the City’s new Canary District meet older main streets and their adjacent single family homes. It is a neighborhood increasingly defined by the newly constructed, contemporary glass and concrete condo buildings, as much as it is by the often under cultivated concrete shell retail spaces on their ground floor. The café and bar hybrid is a direct response to this rapidly-developing neighborhood’s growing and diverse needs, spurred by an influx of young professionals and urban dwellers. Odin and its design embraces the neighborhood's newly refined industrial aesthetic, along with the changing culture of how people eat, drink, work and socialize; and, the playful complexity that comes with the day to night transformation.

咖啡厅/酒吧的基本规划有效地与新的零售空间一起工作，并提高了其质量；一个混凝土盒子，在两面墙壁上镶着宽阔的玻璃，覆盖着街道和邻近的地段。结构柱打破了中间的空间，自然地定义了前面的房子之间的一个高脚交通酒吧和更轻松，低矮的座位靠在角落的玻璃。在柱子线上引入棒状高度座椅，目的是在人的尺度上复制柱子的质量，并在站立和坐的顾客之间创造一个更微妙的过渡。后面的酒吧、预备厨房和洗手间的其余服务元素消耗了邻近零售空间和后方服务走廊上的普通干墙隔板。这只剩下视野向外的街道，慷慨的高耸的裸露混凝土天花板。

The basic planning of the café/bar efficiently works with, and enhances the qualities of the new retail space; a concrete box with expansive glazing on two walls, addressing the street and the neighboring lot. Structural columns break the space down the middle, naturally defining the front of house between a high foot traffic bar and more relaxed, low table seating against the corner glazing. The introduction of bar- height seating at the column line seeks to replicate the mass of the columns at a human scale, and creates a more subtle transition between the standing and seated patrons. The remaining service elements of the back bar, prep kitchen, and washroom consume the mundane drywall partitions at the adjacent retail space and rear service corridor. This leaves only the view outwards toward the street, made generous by the soaring exposed concrete ceiling.

设计的语言在早期的过程中被定义在概念的基础上，与北欧灵感品牌的思想和美学有关。最初被客户认为是天然岩石和冰的景观，与温暖的木材元素形成对比，这也可以补充现有混凝土外壳的丰富色调。这种语言被迅速地磨练成有意雕刻的面和不同尺度的褶皱，这是由于实际需要一种慷慨的延展性方法所驱动的。这样就可以适应在快速过程中发生的不太理想的变化和变化，在快速轨道过程中，在完成设计解决方案之前就开始了施工。该语言由水平和垂直胶合板上的科里安和胶合板组成，语言转换为统一众多的咖啡馆节目元素。其结果是一种在整体雕塑与其表达的骨骼框架之间过渡的奇异形式；最终，简化了设计，同时保持了各个表演部分的动态和细微的表达。

The design’s language was defined early in the process on a conceptual basis, and in relation to the ideas and aesthetics of the Nordic inspired brand. Initially imagined by the clients as a landscape of natural rock and ice, it was contrasted with warm wood elements that could also complement the rich tones of the existing concrete shell. This language was quickly honed into intentionally sculpted facets and folds of varying scales, driven by the practical need for a generously malleable approach. This could then adapt with the less than ideal shifts and changes that occur in a fast track process where construction began prior to a completed design resolution. Composed only of Corian and plywood panels over horizontal and vertical plywood ribs, the language transforms to unify the numerous café program elements. The result is a singular form that transitions between monolithic sculpture and its expressed skeletal framework; ultimately, simplifying the design while maintaining a dynamic and nuanced expression of the various performing parts.

 Plan & Section

酒吧由浓缩咖啡站、现金区、餐饮、鸡尾酒和啤酒站、服务柜台以及酒吧高度座位组成。它的电气，机械系统和设备是完全隐蔽在一个坚实的物体，是沉重和接地的混凝土地板。上上下下移动到所需高度的上上下下连续上上下下移动的条形手势的形式。这强调了在现金和浓缩咖啡站的期望互动，同时区分站立和坐的区域。

The bar is composed of an espresso station, cash area, grab and go food and drink, cocktail and beer station, serving counter, as well as bar-height seating. It’s electrical, mechanical systems, and equipment are fully cloaked behind a solid object that is heavy and grounded against the concrete floor. The form of the bar gestures in and out with a continuous top surface moving up and down to the required heights. This emphasizes the desired interaction at the cash and espresso station, while distinguishing between standing and seated areas.

当墙的形状在某一点上下降时，它的重量就建立在面向客户的乳品柜台和浓缩咖啡站的连接处。然后，这个看似坚实的物体就会在简单的、垂直的和水平的结构上以单独的面板形式展现出来。外露结构是一种集零售、音响设备和头顶存储于一体的实用的货架解决方案；同时定义了将房屋前部连接到预备厨房的酒吧服务脊柱的背面。在一个方向上，墙壁返回到它的坚实的形式，然后包装后的房子空间。

As the form of the wall comes down at a single point, it rests its weight on the nexus of the customer- facing dairy counter and espresso station. The seemingly solid object then transforms to reveal itself as individual panels over the simple, vertical, and horizontal structure providing its form. The exposed structure serves as a practical shelving solution integrating retail, sound equipment, and overhead storage; while defining the back of bar service spine connecting the front of house to the prep kitchen. In one direction, the wall returns to its solid form before wrapping the back of house spaces.

在另一个方向，墙壁无缝过渡到一个开放的天篷，与周边的玻璃，使空间更舒适的比例。更大密度的交叉木成员-有效地隐藏了头顶机械服务，住房额外的照明和安全，并为空间提供声学救济。当天花板从后面的酒吧移开时，它会掉落下来，把重点放在吧台上。然后天花板恢复到它的全部高度，分裂，创造一个方向模式，吸引视线的街道在白天，从街道在夜间。当天花板的图案最终向墙角散开时，它将酒吧和座位区域重新连接到一个单独的空间中。

In another direction, the wall seamlessly transitions into an open canopy overhead that aligns with the perimeter glazing, giving the space a more comfortable scale. A greater density of crisscrossing wood members cost-effectively conceals overhead mechanical services, houses additional lighting and security, and provides acoustical relief for the space. As the ceiling moves away from the back bar, it drops down placing emphasis on the bar area. The ceiling then returns to its full height, breaking apart to create a directional pattern that draws the eye out towards the street during the day, and in from the street at night. As the ceiling pattern finally dissipates towards the corner glazing it joins the bar and seating areas back into a single space.

期望的经验是进一步定向和增强与适应性照明解决方案，可调和色温可调。凉爽的温度照明增加了白天的阳光，在晚上，温暖，创造一个诱人的辉光，从街道上可见。通过将照明解决方案整合到形式和语言中，该设计进一步发挥作用；给实际解决方案带来一种感官的感觉-支持白天和亲密的夜间活动。

Desired experiences are further directed and enhanced with adaptable lighting solutions that are both dimmable and color temperature adjustable. Cool temperature lighting augments the sunlight during the day, and at night, warms to create an inviting glow, visible from the street. By integrating the lighting solutions into the form and language, the design further performs; bringing a sensual feel to practical solutionsthat support daytime and intimate evening activities.
