总部位于墨尔本的建筑师EAT工作室最近推出了他们的最新作品Yugen Dining餐厅。它位于South Yarra著名的Yugen茶吧旁边，Yugen餐饮将South Yarra的优雅融入他们的最新作品。这个充满了细节和氛围的地方，可以被用作时约会地点或周年纪念地点，它得到了一位自称浪漫人士的认可。准备好体验一次与Gil Kenan的微光之城之旅平行的餐饮体验。

A single row of mature poplar trees, along the side unsealed road, forms a soft foreground to what we considered as the “main” façade of the house. Shadows of the trees cast onto the white concrete masonry blocks in the morning, animate the long articulated façade. The articulations, through the masonry and concrete detailing, together with the frustum roofs and layering of spaces, evoke street engagements and curiosities. These pose a polemic to the long façade which is essentially a defense mechanism to provide and suggest domestic privacy.

Yugen是开发South Yarra的Capitol Grand Precinct中标项目的一部分，是一个700平方米的开发项目，是对一个两层楼高的地下室停车场的改造性再利用。建筑师EAT的总监Eid Goh解释说:“Yugen是一个日语单词，描述了'对宇宙之美的深刻感受'的概念，该设计试图通过体现世界的元素来捕捉自己的地下宇宙。”这导致设计被分为四个独特的体验——一个是鸡尾酒吧和餐厅，另一个是用单体木质特征制成的令人印象深刻的夹层Omakase酒吧和一个VIP用餐区。

Part of a development from a winning tender proposal of developing South Yarra’s Capitol Grand Precinct, Yugen  is a 700-square-metre development that is an adaptive reuse of a two-storey basement car park. “Yugen is a Japanese word that describes the concept of, ‘a profound sense of the beauty of the universe,” Architects EAT’s director Eid Goh explains “(and in response), the design sought to capture its own underground universe by embodying the elements of the world”.This led to the design being split into four unique experiences—one being a cocktail bar and restaurant, the other an impressive mezzanine Omakase bar made with monolithic wooden features and a VIP dining area.

花了三年的时间，费尽心思，但收获颇丰，据Goh说，"需要对这家餐厅的愿景有完全的信心"，团队精心打造了一个短暂的氛围，描述了四个元素的和谐关系--火、土、风和水。每个元素都被刻意地通过不同的感官反映出来。对于土，团队暴露了混凝土结构和喷射混凝土柱的粗糙度。而火是用熔化的颜色的光清楚地表现出来。

Taken over three painstakingly long yet rewarding years that, according to Goh “required complete faith in the vision of what this restaurant could be”, the team carefully crafted an ephemeral atmosphere that depicted a harmonious relationship of the four elements—fire, earth, wind and water.  Each element was deliberately reflected through different senses.   For earth, the team exposed the roughness of the concrete structure and shotcrete columns. Fire was clearly represented with molten-coloured light.

“当客人乘坐玻璃电梯进入地下餐厅时，来自较低的鸡尾酒吧的，强烈的金色光线照亮了上面两层楼的空间，”Goh补充道。“水在整个项目中得到了体现，例如：墙壁上的波浪状图案、波纹石凳和委托的艺术作品。

“(When) guests travel down the glass lift into the basement restaurant, the intense golden light (from the lower cocktail bar) illuminates the two-storey void above,”Goh adds. “Water is represented throughout the project, from wave-like patterns on walls, rippling stone benches and commissioned art pieces”.

相反，风通过金色链式窗帘的轻柔摆动与Jennifer Conroy Smith合作设计的定制吊灯得到了隐喻性的捕捉。那是一个由2000个手工雕刻的陶瓷花瓣组成的系列，展示了微风元素的温柔力量。广东Biiird Yakitor由bigER俱乐部设计。这家位于中国广东的餐厅有着朴实无华的氛围，它深深植根于日式烧鸡的传统…

Wind, on the contrary, is captured metaphorically through the gentle swish of the golden chainmail curtains and the bespoke chandelier designed in collaboration with Jennifer Conroy Smith — a collection of 2,000 hand-sculpted ceramic petals that demonstrates the gentle strength of the breezy element.

尽管总体的外壳是叙事的代表，但更精细的细节才是整个氛围的纽带，而不触及媚俗。从酒吧里看起来像凿子的混凝土鸡尾酒架，到不规则形状的瓷砖地板，你都无法逃避这种叙事，除了像火山表面的深色木材地板，还有散落在夹层地板结构上的小的、点状的灯，让人感觉到来自外表面的光线已经穿透。

Despite the overarching shell being representative of the narrative, the finer details are what ties the entire atmosphere without touching the kitsch.  You can’t escape the narrative from the bar’s chiselled-looking concrete cocktail shelves to the irregularly shaped tiled flooring besides dark timber flooring that resembles a volcanic surface and scattered small, dotted lights attached to the mezzanine’s floor structure makes one feel like light from the outer surface has pierced through.
