In the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada, innovative social space designers Partisans have returned to the area following a few successful previous projects, this time to complete the interior renovation of a restaurant space to make the new Quetzal Bar!

在加拿大多伦多市中心，创新的社会空间设计师们在一些成功的前项目之后返回了该地区，这次完成了餐厅空间的内部装修，以制造新的Quetzal酒吧！

Quetzal Bar is not these designers’ first project in the neighbourhood. A number of years back, they were also the driving force behind Bar Raval, a critically acclaimed Spanush “pinto boite”. Now, the same design team has reunited with the same food and drink experts to create a second collaboration with a unique structure and atmosphere distinct from their first.

QuetzalBar不是这些设计师在附近的第一个项目。几年前，他们也是巴尔·拉瓦尔(BarRaval)背后的原动力。现在，同一个设计团队已经与相同的食品和饮料专家团聚，创造了第二次合作，与他们的第一次不同的结构和氛围。

Quetzal Bar was conceptualized to celebrate and preserve Mexican recipes and cooking techniques from across the country’s various diverse regions. Many of the recipes selected from the menu area generations old and have been passed down with unique changes from family member to family member over the years, making for a truly authentic and delicious dining experience.

Quetzal Bar被概念化，以庆祝和保存墨西哥的食谱和烹饪技术，来自全国各地的不同地区。许多菜谱是从菜谱中挑选出来的，这些年来，从家庭成员到家庭成员都有着独特的变化，形成了一种真正的正宗美味的就餐体验。

The space that the restaurant calls home is a stunning vaulted room that pays homage to certain eras of traditional Mexican architecture. Despite being small, the space feels luminous and welcoming, partially thanks to the lighting choices made by designers and how the light bounces off the unique curved ceiling, and partially thanks to the fragrant, mouthwatering scents wafting from the kitchen.

餐厅叫家的空间是一个令人叹为观止的拱形房间，向传统墨西哥建筑的某些时代致敬。尽管很小，但由于设计者们做出的照明选择以及光如何从独特的弯曲天花板上反弹，并且部分地归功于来自厨房的芳香、令人垂涎的气味，空间就会感觉到发光和欢迎。

To make those delicious traditional meals happen, designers and resident chefs alike decided that it would be best to power the College Street bar entirely by a wood-burning fire. This isn’t always typical of how Mexican restaurants cook their meals, even though it’s common practice “back home”. In this way, Quetzal Bar is redefining how Mexican food is both experienced and prepared in Canada itself.

为了让这些美味的传统食物成为现实，设计师和居民厨师们都决定，最好的办法是让大学街的酒吧完全靠烧木柴的火来点菜。这并不总是典型的墨西哥餐馆烹饪他们的食物，尽管这是常见的做法“回家”。以这种方式，QuetzalBar正在重新定义墨西哥食物是如何在加拿大本身经历和准备的。

From the outset, restaurant owners stated that they wanted the interior structure of Quetzal Bar to hearken back to the billowing tarps of the market stalls in Mexico. This is where the curvature of the rippling ceiling’s shape came from, as well as the emphasis on organic Oaxacan pottery in the decor details.

从一开始，餐厅老板说，他们想让Quetzal酒吧的内部结构回到墨西哥市场摊位的BilingTarps。这就是波纹天花板的形状的曲率，以及装饰细节上的有机发光陶瓷的重点。

Letting these shapes speak volumes within the room, designers chose to keep much of the rest of the space quite simple. The materiality of the furnishings and interiors follows suit, being primarily made of wood, concrete, and plaster. Overall, the space feels breezy and welcoming, blending two cultures in a unique and festive way.

让这些形状在房间里讲音量，设计师选择把大部分空间保持得相当简单。家具和内部的重要性是适合的，主要由木材、混凝土和石膏制成。总体来说，空间感觉轻松，热情，以独特的和节日的方式融合了两种文化。

The bar, of course, isn’t free of local Canadian influence either. Owners chose Canadian maple from right there in Ontario to punctuate the rolling ceiling in places that its unique design needed additional support. The concrete of the floor is also locally sourced, letting the Canadian influence ground the space while the Mexican cuisine carries diners away.

当然，这家酒吧也并非没有加拿大本土的影响。业主选择加拿大枫树从那里在安大略省，以标点滚动天花板在一些地方，其独特的设计需要额外的支持。地板的混凝土也来自当地，让加拿大影响地面的空间，而墨西哥菜带走了食客。

Although it is very decorative and reminiscent of Mexican architecture, the ceiling we’ve raved so much about also has a very practical functionality as well. At the same times is it reminds diners of market stalls, or perhaps even snow drifts or sculpted ivory, as employees have suggested, it also hides the industrial air circulation system the restaurant requires to safely ventilate the grill, particularly on bust nights (which there are many of).

虽然它非常的装饰和让人想起了墨西哥建筑，但是我们的天花板也非常实用，而且也有非常实用的功能。同时，它提醒了食客们的市场摊位，甚至可能甚至下雪或雕刻的象牙，正如员工所建议的那样，它也隐藏了工业空气循环系统。餐厅需要安全地通风烤架，特别是在半夜里（有很多）。

The stunning wooden bar is another place where the Canadian element of the space gets to shine. Here, guests can order either cocktails or ceviche, stopping at whichever side they need like they truly are at a Mexican market visiting different stalls. Diners might also visit the comal corner, where the traditional clay ovens used in Mexico are set up for all to see. These spots break down the division between cook and diner, making the meal something to be experienced rather than just consumed.

令人叹为观止的木棒是另一个地方，加拿大元素的空间获得了光芒。在这里，客人可以点鸡尾酒，也可以点菜，在他们需要的任何一边停下来，就像他们在墨西哥市场参观不同的摊位一样。食客们也可以参观墨西哥传统的粘土烤箱，在那里大家都可以看到。这些斑点打破了厨师和食客之间的隔阂，使这顿饭更有经验，而不仅仅是消费。
