Hihou位于墨尔本的中心商业区，但设计理念为顾客提供了一种被运送到日本东京的感觉。顾客的旅程从匿名入口开始，穿过一条简约的走廊，然后来到一处由日本人启发的场所，那里受到老练的工作人员的欢迎。

Hihou is located in Melbourne’s central business district but the design concept provides patrons with a sense of being transported to Tokyo, Japan. The patrons’ journey begins at the anonymous entrance, through a minimalistic corridor, before arriving into a Japanese inspired venue where they are welcomed by sophisticated staff.

Design Brief

该项目简介是整修和改造一家两帽餐厅，维格，位于财政部花园对面的墨尔本中心商业区，成为一家日本式的咖啡馆和酒吧。与客户的第一次会议于2011年11月举行，地点于2012年6月开幕。客户的愿景是利用现有的分割级别，通过使用受日本建筑启发的滑动屏幕，将场馆变成两个独立的身份：一家咖啡馆(日间营业)和一家酒吧(夜间操作)。审美简约非常简单：在较低的层次上创造一个明亮而新鲜的咖啡馆，在上层创造一个黑暗和喜怒无常的酒吧。

The project brief was to refurbish and convert a two-hat restaurant, Verge, located opposite Treasury Gardens in Melbourne’s central business district, into a Japanese style café and bar. The first meeting with the client was held in November 2011 and the venue opened in June 2012. The client’s vision was to utilise the existing split-levels and turn the venue into two separate identities, a café (day time operation) and a bar (night time operation), by using sliding screens inspired by Japanese architecture. The aesthetic brief was very simple; create a bright and fresh café on the lower level, and a dark and moody bar on the upper level.

酒吧入口位于墨尔本的弗林德斯巷。没有标牌，只有一个对讲机在门口。这一匿名条目增强了顾客被转移到另一个城市-东京的感觉。在会场内，滑动屏幕被用来创建灵活的规划，并将位于同一场所内的两个身份(咖啡馆和酒吧)分开。屏幕的进出创造了两个不同的，几乎相互冲突的主题之间的白天和夜间操作。一条简约的走廊引导顾客到一楼的酒吧。酒吧空间设计的木材枝形吊灯，这也是双倍作为一个酒架和一个屏幕。一个特色墙与木材板被安排成一个三维的艺术作品；瓶子和眼镜之间展示，以增加另一个维度。在特色墙对面，沿着弗林德斯巷玻璃外墙，木材种植箱被设计成在内外之间形成一个屏幕，并创建一个垂直花园，与周围的财政部花园和街道树木相对应。

The bar entry is located on Flinders Lane in Melbourne. There is no signage, just an intercom at the door. The anonymous entry enhances patrons' sense of being transported to another city – Tokyo. Inside the venue, sliding screens are used to create flexible planning and to separate the two identities located within the one venue, a café and a bar. The screens slide in and out to create two different, almost conflicting themes between the day and night time operations. A minimalistic corridor guides patrons to the bar on the first floor. The bar space is designed with a timber chandelier which also doubles as a wine rack and a screen. A feature wall is created with timber battens arranged into a three-dimensional piece of artwork; bottles and glasses are displayed in between the battens to add another dimension. Opposite the feature wall, along the Flinders Lane glass façade, timber planter boxes have been designed to form a screen between the inside and the outside, as well as to create a vertical garden which responds to the surrounding Treasury Gardens and street trees.

Hihou设计采用简单的想法来营造出独特的日本氛围。使用滑动屏幕，特色墙和播种机箱实现了一个有效的多用途的空间使用。滑动屏幕使场地能够在明亮和新鲜的气氛之间交换，通过滑动进入不同的位置，使之变得黑暗和喜怒无常。在酒吧区域中央的公共桌子上悬挂着一盏木吊灯。LED灯配件被设置并嵌入到木材板中，以将间接光带入空间。它还形成一个屏幕划分公共桌子和酒架。特征墙是用木条建造的，它被布置成一个三维的艺术品，用来展示瓶子和眼镜。LED灯配件再次使用之间的巴托，以照亮空间，也投反射在展出的项目。播种机箱的设计是建立在一个简短的基础上，从外部模糊的观点，并减少‘金鱼在坦克’的影响。一个绿色的垂直花园回应周围的财政部花园和街道树木。这一特性再次被设计的灵活性在脑海中-作为一个屏幕，播种机盒和/或展示架。

The Hihou design uses simple ideas to achieve a distinctive Japanese atmosphere. The use of sliding screens, feature wall and planter boxes achieves an effective multipurpose use of the space. The sliding screens enable the venue to interchange between a bright and fresh atmosphere, to dark and moody, by sliding into different positions. A timber chandelier is suspended over the communal table in the middle of the bar area. LED light fittings are arranged and embedded into the timber battens to bring indirect light into the space. It also forms a screen dividing the communal table and the wine rack. The feature wall is constructed with timber battens arranged to form a three-dimensional piece of artwork and is used to display bottles and glasses. LED light fittings are again used between the battens to light up the space, and also cast reflections on the items on display. The design of the planter boxes is based on a brief to obscure the view from the outside and reduce the ‘goldfish-in-tank’ effect. A green vertical garden responds to the surrounding Treasury Gardens and street trees. This feature was again designed with flexibility in mind – as a screen, planter boxes and/or display shelves.

客户证言

Client Testimonial

该项目的挑战是改造现代设计，保留大部分现有结构，同时给会场带来一种新的感觉，带有强烈的日本感觉。该职位的高级建筑师是日本人，让我们自然地在设计中注入强烈的日本精神，同时保留公司独特的风格。在同一保护伞下创建两家企业的成功已经成功实现，大多数客户不知道上面或下面的空间。

The project challenge was to make over a modern design, retaining most of the existing structure while giving the venue a sense of something new, with a strong Japanese feel. The Senior Architect on the job was Japanese, allowing us to naturally instil a strong Japanese ethos into the design, while retaining the unique style of the firm. The success of creating two businesses under the same umbrella has been successfully achieved, with most customers unaware of the space above or below.

对Hihou的简介是创造一种被运送到东京的感觉，通过秘密入口、日本屏幕和酒吧区的设计实现了这一点。谨慎的灯光、木条、黑色的酒吧顶上和石材桌散发出一种优雅的日本感觉，带有一种现代和严肃的感觉。最重要的是，酒吧的实际操作和强大、有效的设计的重要性都没有受到损害。最终的结果是成功的酒吧结合了食物，设计和文化，创造了独特的日本感觉。

The brief for Hihou was to create a sense of being transported to Tokyo and this has been realised through the secret entrance, Japanese screens and the design of the bar area. The discreet lighting, timber battens, blackened bar top and stone tables exude an elegant Japanese feel with a sense of modernity and seriousness. Most importantly neither the practical operations of the bar nor the importance of strong, effective design, were compromised. The end result is a successful bar which combines food, design and culture to create a unique Japanese feel.
