梅尔维尔上尉是重新发明了一个黑暗的内城夜总会，成为一家餐厅和酒吧，灵感来自于酒店第一批顾客的鬼魂。

Captain Melville is the re-invention of a dark inner city nightclub into a restaurant and bar inspired by the ghosts of the hotels first patrons.

1853年，在一个处于二分法状态的殖民地中，麦克酒店(Mac‘sHotel)建成了-这是维多利亚州首批特许酒店之一。殖民者涌向我们的海岸，追逐土地、黄金和新的开始，而囚犯们则对他们的不公正和造成这种不公正的阶级制度进行了猛烈的抨击。

Amid a colony in a state of dichotomy, 1853 saw the construction of Mac’s Hotel – one of Victoria's first licensed hotels. Settlers flooded to our shores chasing land, gold and new beginnings, while convicts railed against their injustice and the class system that created it.

本着这一历史性的、反叛的叙述精神，这种契合在概念上是建立在19世纪50年代澳大利亚移民在澳大利亚淘金热中追逐黄金的大规模占领澳大利亚的场景的基础上的。

In the spirit of this historic, rebel narrative, the fit-out is conceptually based on the scene of mass occupation of Australia in the 1850's by immigrants chasing gold in the Australian Gold Rush.

后来，墨尔本几乎整个晚上都从一个小村庄成长为一个支离破碎的帐篷城市。重复这些简单的高峰形式，建立在现有的材料在聚落，并奠定了景观，成为设计和材料调色板的概念框架。

Melbourne had then grown almost over night from a tiny village into a gridded tent city. The repetition of these simple peaked forms, erected from materials on hand in the settlement and laid over the landscape, became the conceptual framework for the design and material palette.

从殖民地下面涌出的是叛逆精神的影响，这体现在梅尔维尔船长的故事中，他是“绅士”布希朗杰。激起一层新的混乱和不对称，这种叛逆情绪渗透到场地的新身份，品牌和原始物质。

Welling up from beneath the colony came the influence of the rebel spirit; here manifest in the tale of Captain Melville, the "Gentleman" Bushranger. Rousing a new layer of chaos and asymmetry this renegade sentiment permeates through the venue’s new identity, branding and raw materiality.
