▼项目概览，overview

原场地为一栋两层独栋建筑，一层层高5m，二层层高4.2m，酒吧布置在一层。明确功能后，我们将厨房、卫生间、办公室、独立闹吧、包房等封闭空间视为实体，穿插在整体空间之中。部分区域打通现有楼板，形成局部的三层空间。

The original site is a two-storey high architecture. The layer height of the first floor is 5 meters while the second is 4.2 meters and the bar is allocated on the first floor. After confirmed the basic functions of the space, we decided to treat the kitchen, restroom, office, independent party room and VIP room as separated entities and intersperse them in the entire space. And part of the second floor is removed in order to construct an extra three-storey section inside of the building.

根据对酒吧空间氛围的分析，我们将空间氛围由闹到静分为六种：躁动的闹吧、热闹的舞台、熙攘的吧台、分享性的长桌、轻松的休闲座、安静的卡座。在实体空间进行穿插，形成凹凸错落的空间后，我们将六种空间置入现有的连贯空间之中，并依照各区域的氛围生成最终的空间形态。

According to the analysis of the space atmosphere of the bar, we assorted the space atmosphere into six levels by decibel (from high to low): the independent party room, the stage, the bar counter, the shared long table, the relaxing leisure seats and the quiet booths. After the basic arrangement of the entities, we received an area full of sense of space and the six space atmospheres are inserted along with specific practical needs, which assembled the final space for the bar.
