RYÙ Westmount A Montréal Sushi Bar of Tactile Beauty

2019-03-14 14:32

Occupying a prominent corner spot in Westmount, an upscale neighbourhood in Montréal, Canada, that combines grey stone mansions and quaint townhouses with chic boutiques and spacious parks, RYÙ is the latest outpost of the Japanese sushi bar chain of the same name that opened its doors in late August to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Designed by Montréal-based studio Ménard Dworkind Architecture - design with an emphasis on natural materials and hand-crafted furnishings, RYÙ is a contemporary urban eatery underpinned by a Japanese sensibility. The designers have worked closely with skilled craftsmen in all aspects of the interiors, from the sinuous banquette that snakes along the front windows and the cubist swivel chairs lining the bar, to the sleek metal light fittings and the tactile wooden wall panelling. Relying on a selection of natural materials that age gracefully, Ménard Dworkind have managed to create a space of tactile beauty, bridging the gap between aesthetics and functionality,

在加拿大蒙特雷(Montréal)的高档街区西山，这里占据了一个显眼的街角位置，把灰色的石楼、古色古香的联排别墅、别致的精品店和宽敞的公园结合在一起，这里是同名的日本寿司连锁店的最新前哨。该连锁店于8月底开业，让当地人和游客都感到高兴。由蒙特雷设计的工作室Ménard Dworkind建筑

The venue’s focal point is undoubtedly the sushi bar at the centre of the space where the chefs prepare the maki, nigiri and sashimi selection on the menu—all of which are made with certified sustainable seafood. Constructed out of untreated concrete blocks, its industrial aesthetic is picked up by the weathered walls and exposed concrete shell as well as the visible air ducts and pipes. The roughness of these features is tempered by the warm softness of the wooden elements, the most prominent of which is the bulkhead that spans the length of the restaurant. Bedecked with vertical wooden slats that interchange between light and dark tones, the design creates an optical effect that gives the impression of movement as you walk through the space, as well as when you drive by, courtesy of the façade’s full glazing.

场馆的焦点无疑是位于餐厅中心的寿司店，厨师们在那里准备菜单上的马基、尼吉里和生鱼片-所有这些都是用经过认证的可持续海鲜制作的。它是用未经处理的混凝土砌块建造的，它的工业美学被风化的墙壁和暴露的混凝土外壳以及可见的空气管道和管道所吸收。这些特征的粗糙是通过木质元素的温暖柔软而缓和的，其中最突出的是跨越餐厅长度的舱壁。该设计用垂直木质石板装饰，在光线和黑暗色调之间交换，设计创造了一种光学效果，让你在穿过空间时，以及开车经过时，都能感受到你的移动感，这得益于正面的全玻璃。

The striated design of the bulkhead is mirrored in the dark timber panelling on the back of the space and the lighter wooden panels that back the curvy banquette. It has also informed the suspended light fitting that follows the shape of the bar, which is made out of 467 pieces of aluminium square plates threaded through brass rods. Another recurring geometric feature is the circle, an allusion to the Japanese flag that can be found in the round dining tables and circular cut outs on the bar’s swivel chairs. The concrete and wood textures are perfectly complemented by an abundance of plants, both planted and suspended, the latter filtering the daylight flooding in from two large skylights. At night, the bright daylight is replaced by the mellow illumination of the light fittings and the lantern-like glow of the kitchen, hidden as it is behind translucent polycarbonate panels, easing guests into RYÙ’s welcoming embrace.

舱壁的条纹设计反映在空间背面的暗木板和弯曲的板子后面的较轻的木板上。它还通知了悬挂灯配件，跟随形状的酒吧，这是由467件铝正方形板螺纹通过黄铜棒。另一个反复出现的几何特征是圆圈，它暗示着在圆桌上可以找到日本国旗，在酒吧的转椅上还可以看到圆形剪裁。混凝土和木材的纹理完美地补充了丰富的植物，包括种植和悬挂，后者过滤了来自两个大天窗的白昼洪流。晚上，明亮的日光被灯饰的柔和照明和厨房的灯笼般的光芒所取代，因为它隐藏在半透明的聚碳酸酯面板后面，让客人轻松地进入了Ry Parter欢迎的怀抱。
