简短的是创造一个设计，以反映餐厅的整体哲学：希腊启发，伦敦制造。要使这个概念成功地通过设计，菜单和品牌必须在一个身份中连贯地结合在一起。我们与整个团队密切合作，确保空间设计被视为OPSO概念的自然延伸。

The brief was to create a design that would reflect the overall philosophy of the restaurant: Greek inspired, London made. For this concept to come across successfully the design, the menu and the branding had to come together coherently in one identity. We worked closely with the whole team to ensure that the design of the space is seen as a natural physical extension of the OPSO concept.

通过剥去外墙，把2000平方英尺的现有空间夷为平地，这座建筑的真实结构就被展示出来了。主地下面积长而窄，按20 cm的层位差分为2个区。设计的重点建筑元素是一个中央脊柱，通过运行空间的长度和结合水平变化在其使用中连接这两个区域。从第一个区域开始，在正门，脊柱是一个1米10厘米高的咖啡吧，随意欢迎食客和带走客人。移动到第二个区域，表面继续在相同的高度，并成为一个90厘米高的桌面非正式的，集体就餐。

By stripping back the façade and gutting the 2000 square feet of existing space, the true fabric of the building was revealed. The main ground floor space is long and narrow and divided into 2 zones by a 20cm difference in the floor level. The focal architectural element of the design is a central spine that connects the two zones by running the length of the space and incorporating the level change within its use. Beginning in the first zone and at the main entrance, the spine is a 1m 10cm high coffee bar that casually welcomes diners and take away clients. Moving into the second zone the surface continues at the same height and becomes a 90cm high table top for informal, communal dining.

以这种方式利用空间的长度也可以最大限度地利用南面窗户的自然光流量，但是对于光线穿透空间的每一个角落来说，保持布局开放是很重要的。除了中央脊柱外，另一个关键的设计元素是开放式存储系统，它允许服务员高效、自然地在餐厅周围工作。该系统是一个框架，围绕着桌子，延伸到整个地面和底层，我们使用它将空间组织成区域，消除了对限制光线和流通的分区的需求。

Using the length of the space in this way also maximizes the flow of natural light from the south facing windows, but for the light to penetrate each corner of the space it was important to keep the layout open. As well as the central spine another key design element is the open storage system that allows waiters to work around diners efficiently and naturally. The system is a framework that works around the tables, extending throughout the ground and lower ground floors and we use it to organise the space into zones, eliminating the need for partitions that would restrict light and circulation.

我们与顾问厨师Georgianna Hiliadaki和Nikos Roussos密切合作，确保这一框架将成为餐厅服务的一个实际要素。我们一起识别区域，并使用该框架定位通常隐藏在不同空间中的不受视图影响的关键服务元素。这个细长的钢框架内有服务生站、酒柜和食品储藏室。这是一个非常深蓝色和支持木架子，其中存储的餐具和玻璃器皿，餐具壶，瓶油和罐的防腐剂。这些在定制的兵马俑种植者中散布着各种繁茂的植物。

We worked in close collaboration with the consultant chefs Georgianna Hiliadaki and Nikos Roussos, to ensure that this framework would become a practical element in the service of the restaurant. Together we identified zones and used the framework to locate key service elements that are conventionally hidden from view in separate spaces. The slender steel framework houses waiter’s stations, wine fridges and food storage cabinets. It is painted a very dark blue and supports wood shelves on which are stored tableware and glassware, cutlery pots, bottles of oil and jars of preserves. These are interspersed with a variety of lush plants in custom made terracotta planters.

 Ground Floor Plan

内饰结合了古雅典餐厅中的天然材料，如卡瓦拉大理石墙面和台面，以及手工铺设的Terrazzo地板，以及对传统设计元素的最新诠释，如橡木镶板、皮革装潢以及捕捉光线的各种黄铜口音。温暖、抛光的灰泥墙被艺术家乔安娜·伯滕肖(Joanna Burtenshaw)的三幅瓷砖壁画打断，这些壁画说明餐厅专注于社交餐饮和从英国和希腊采购优质原料。

The interior combines natural materials found in old Athenian eateries, such as the Kavala marble wall cladding and table tops, and the hand-laid Terrazzo flooring, as well as updated interpretations of traditional design elements such as oak panelling, leather upholstery and various brass accents that catch the light. Warm, polished plaster walls are interrupted by a triptych of ceramic tiled murals by the artist Joanna Burtenshaw, that illustrate the restaurants focus on social dining and the sourcing of quality ingredients from England and Greece.

家具是一个精心结合的定制设计和古典和现代的来源件。位于伦敦的另一家具公司的木制凳子在楼上的公共餐桌和酒吧提供非正式座位；老式的莫根森餐椅与k工作室定制的大理石顶酒馆桌配在一起；柔软的皮革座椅把楼下两个餐厅的桌子抱在一起。微妙的灯光照亮淡蓝色的天花板，并隐藏在一个整洁的黄铜栏杆运行的中央脊柱长度。框架之间挂着手工制作的、上光的“醋栗”挂件。

Furniture is a careful combination of custom design and classic and contemporary sourced pieces. Wooden stools by London based furniture company Another Country provide informal seating at the communal table and bar upstairs; vintage Mogensen dining chairs are paired with marble topped taverna tables custom designed by k-studio; and soft leather seating hugs the tables in the two dining booths downstairs. Subtle up-lighting illuminates the pale blue painted ceiling and is concealed in a neat brass rail running the length of the central spine. Between the frames hang handmade, glazed terracotta ‘Gooseberry’ pendants by Hand & Eye Studio.
