Einstein - Associates have designed Lemongrass restaurant in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Situated near important landmarks like the Presidential Bogor Palace and the famous Bogor Botanical Garden, one of the oldest and largest botanical garden in the world, Lemongrass’s design concept is derived from taking a closer look into Bogor.

Description by Einstein - Associates: What many people don’t know about Bogor is that Bogor is only sixty kilometers away from Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. Bogor or “Buitenzorg” as people would call it during the Dutch colonial era served as the summer residence of the Governor General of East Indies. “Buitenzorg” itself means “without a care” in dutch, mirroring the beauty of Bogor that makes people have no worries and feel safe and secure.

爱因斯坦的描述

The design concept behind Lemongrass restaurant comes from the context observation of Bogor that is a “Tropical Paradise”. The architecture, interior and landscape design of Lemongrass is merged all together into a tropical paradise. A modern tropical architecture with splashes of rich tropical colors and plants designed specifically to blend with the surrounding nature.

Lemongrass餐厅背后的设计理念来自于“热带天堂”Bogor的上下文观察。Lemongrass的建筑、内部和景观设计都融合在一起成为热带天堂。现代热带建筑，具有丰富的热带色彩和植物，专门设计与周围自然混合。

Digging a little deeper into the concept, the building itself is positioned at the center of a literal beautifully designed tropical garden, a subtle link with Buitenzorg that is peaceful and “without a care”. To top it all off, the building plan of Lemongrass restaurant is intentionally designed as an open air and open plan space, eliminating the boundaries between the indoor and the outdoor.

深入了解这个概念，这座建筑本身就位于一个精心设计的热带花园的中心，这是一个与Buitenzorg的微妙联系，它是和平的，“没有人关心的”。最重要的是，莱蒙草餐厅的建筑方案被有意设计成一个露天和开放式的空间，消除了室内和室外的界限。

The Lemongrass restaurant is divided into four main spaces, the main indoor dining area, alfresco dining, second floor indoor dining and rooftop dining area. First step entering the restaurant, customers will have to walk through the narrow tropical jungle corridor, awakening the senses with a whispering sound of the water coming from the reflecting pool, the beautiful greeneries and the smell of nature.

莱蒙草餐厅分为四个主要空间：主室内就餐区、露天餐厅、二楼室内就餐区和屋顶就餐区。走进餐厅的第一步，顾客们将不得不穿过狭小的热带丛林走廊，用来自反射池、美丽的绿树和自然的气味的低语声唤醒感官。

Arriving at the restaurant’s foyer, people can see the restaurant’s two main areas, indoor dining area and alfresco dining area. Natural materials like wood, natural stone and terracotta tiles, all blend together into one key design element which makes for a warm and cozy ambiance to the dining experience.

到达餐厅的门厅，人们可以看到餐厅的两个主要区域，室内就餐区和露天就餐区。天然材料，如木材，天然石头和陶瓷砖，都融合在一起，成为一个关键的设计元素，使一个温暖和舒适的氛围，以用餐的体验。

The long linear open kitchen welcomes people as they enter the indoor dining area to see the menu and the food being made and ready to be served. Peacock mosaic floor is used at the center of the dining area as the pathway between the main dining area and the alfresco dining. The main dining area’s layout consists of the brass sofa dining and the communal dining with the garden surrounding the dining area.

长线性开放式厨房欢迎人们进入室内餐饮区，观看菜单和正在制作的食物，并准备供应。在餐厅中心采用孔雀马赛克地板作为主餐饮区和阿尔夫拉索餐厅之间的通道。主要餐饮区布局包括黄铜沙发餐饮和公共餐饮，其中花园围绕餐饮区。

As soon as people enter into the alfresco dining area, they can feast not only with their mouths but also with their eyes as they are greeted by the fresh open air of Bogor, in addition to the beautiful blue flower mosaic reflecting pool, the center point of alfresco dining area. The eyes are being entertained with the play of harmonious tropical colors of the furniture. All of the outdoor furniture mix really well with the tropical garden, courtesy of the cream exotic stones background. Terracotta tiles and cream terrazzo stones made from natural seashells are used as the hardscape’s floor material, once again implementing the nature and tropical aspect of the concept.

当人们进入露天餐厅时，除了美丽的蓝色花叶倒映池外，他们不仅可以用嘴巴，还可以用眼睛来迎接茂物新鲜的露天环境，这是露天餐厅的中心。人们的眼睛被家具和谐的热带色彩所吸引。所有的户外家具都与热带花园很好地结合在一起，这得益于奶油色的异国情调的石头背景。由天然贝壳制成的陶瓷砖和奶油水磨石被用作硬质景观的地板材料，再次实现了自然和热带方面的概念。

The Second floor of Lemongrass restaurant is significantly smaller than the first floor, mainly because of the existence of the big void overlooking the first floor’s dining area. The second floor’s main dining area has the birdcage chandelier and the blue flower mosaic with brass frame as the center points.

莱蒙草餐厅二楼的面积明显小于一楼，这主要是因为一楼餐厅存在较大的空隙，可俯瞰第一层的就餐区。二楼的主食区有鸟笼吊灯和以黄铜框架为中心的蓝花马赛克。

The second floor’s dining area has no boundary separating the indoor and the outdoor area, making people in it feel even closer to nature. There’s a wall dominated with natural cream stone, and has mixed color recycled wood as an accent. There are also a neutral element in the ceiling, a raw concrete ceiling to keep the balance of the entire restaurant and the playfulness element with the iconic recycled plywood as the ceiling tiles. Other than the dining area, the second floor also has a vertical garden and a rooftop dining area The seating arrangement of the second floor’s dining area is more formal, while the rooftop area is more free and casual.

二楼的餐饮区没有区分室内和室外区域的界限，让人感觉更接近自然。这里有一堵以天然奶油石为主的墙，以混合颜色的再生木材为重点。天花板上也有一个中性的元素，一个生的混凝土天花板来保持整个餐厅的平衡，还有一个以标志性的回收胶合板作为天花板瓷砖的好玩元素。除了就餐区外，二楼还有一个垂直花园和一个屋顶就餐区，二楼就餐区的座位安排更为正式，而屋顶区则更自由和随意。

The rooftop dining area itself is located at the backyard of the second floor’s main dining area. The overall layout arrangement of the rooftop area is more flexible and free, with long communal bar table and colorful loose lounger chairs to enjoy the magnificent view of the sunset, the mountain and the garden at the back side of the restaurant, Surrounded by the tropical garden below, the colorful furniture accent, the china blue mural painting, mixed recycled wood all over the main wall and not to forget, the incredible view that is Bogor’s nature, people will truly feel like they’re in a tropical paradise.

屋顶就餐区本身就位于二楼主要就餐区的后院。屋顶的整体布局更加灵活和自由，用长长的公共吧台和五颜六色的松椅来欣赏日落的壮丽景色，餐厅后面的山和花园，下面的热带花园，五颜六色的家具口音，中国式的蓝色壁画，墙壁上混合的可循环利用的木材，别忘了，这是茂物的自然风光，人们真的会觉得自己置身于热带天堂。
