架构师提供的文本描述。我们的主要目标是设计一个优雅而舒适的氛围的餐厅，感觉既现代又经典。这种方法产生于与客户的密切合作，并在许多方面产生于客户以前为该空间购买的一套家具。因为椅子的外观如此独特，所以我们选择在椅子周围和谐地设计餐厅，而不是强加一种新的但矛盾的风格。

Text description provided by the architects. Our primary objective was to design a restaurant with an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere that feels both contemporary and classic. This approach was born out of a close collaboration with the client, and in many ways arose from a set of furniture the client had previously purchased for the space. Because the chairs have such a distinctive appearance, we choose to design the restaurant harmoniously around the chairsthemselves, rather than impose a new but conflictingstyle.

由白色皮革垫子组成，放置在深色木框架上，最显著的特点是背靠背。这些肋骨，或条纹，与现有窗户的暗安全条非常相似。这种简单的正式同意足以指导项目的其余部分。

Consisting of white leather cushions set on dark wood frames, the chairs most notably feature aribbed backrest. These ribs, or stripes, closely resemble the dark security bars of the existing windows. This simple formal concurrence was enough to guide the remainder of the project.

对于我们来说，这个项目最吸引人的地方，作为建筑师，是在一个陌生的地方工作，那里的建筑方法和我们自己的大不相同。显然，在这一设计/建设项目的早期，沟通将是最大的障碍。为了尽可能快速、干净地构建项目，我们制作了轴测施工图和相位图。

The most engaging aspect of this project for us, as architects, was working in an unfamiliar land where approaches to construction varied so greatly from our own. It became apparent early on that communication would be the largest obstacle during this design/build project. In order to construct the project as quickly and cleanly as possible we produced axonometric shop drawings and phasing diagrams. 

在一个大多数分包商从不使用图纸、不熟悉阅读计划和章节的地方，这些项目工具是非常有用的。他们是绝对必要的，同时协调设计的复杂领域，这往往涉及到多个分包商。

These project instruments were incredibly useful in a place where most subcontractors never use drawings and are unfamiliar with reading plans and sections. And they were absolutely essential while coordinatingthe complex areas of the design, which often involved multiple subcontractors.
