Arlechin酒吧隐藏在位于Bourke Street大街的Guy Grossi的餐厅后巷，用来存放Guy本人收藏的好酒。项目的任务是打造一个兼具夜间酒吧和日常功能的空间，使人们有机会在Guy的私人酒窖小酌一杯。

Hidden in a service lane behind Guy Grossi’s restaurant empire on Bourke Street, Arlechin started life as a store room for Guy’s vast wine collection. The brief expanded to incorporate a night time bar and daytime function space: a chance to have a drink in Guy’s personal wine cellar.

酒吧位于一个低矮的小型空间内，需要从街道的后巷进入。设计师在原本的基础上对空间进行了扩大，使之不仅仅用于存酒，还增加了可供20人使用的私人餐桌，在夜间可以作为吧台使用。

Arlechin began as storage for Guy Grossi’s extensive wine collection, in a small vacant tenancy with a low ceiling accessed from a service lane. Six Degrees were approached to expand the brief to not only store wine, but to also include a 20 seat dinner table for private functions that could turn into a bar in the evenings.

通过移动家具来实现功能的转换显然不太可行，而且也没有足够的空间来存放家具。因此设计师选用了可调节的桌子、灯具以及可折叠的细木工板。以软木构成的拱形天花板为低矮的空间赋予体量感，同时能够将大量用于调节气温的设备管道隐藏在内部。定制的钢制酒架和彩色玻璃不仅用于存酒，更表达出对酒的热爱与赞美。

Moving a lot of furniture to change from Function mode to Bar mode was not an option, nor was there space to store furniture. Therefore adjustable tables, lights and fold down joinery become part of the aesthetic. The vaulted cork form is driven by a desire to get a sense of volume within the low space, and is also a strategy to accommodate extensive ductwork required to regulate temperature in the wine cellar. The steel racks and stained glass are custom built to not only store but to celebrate the wine.

Arlechin作为Grossi餐厅的一部分，有着意大利即兴喜剧式的风格特色。地下室般的黑色立面后方隐藏着一个玩乐的好去处，紧凑而私密的“地下密室”颇具宗教意象，吸引着附近的居民、饮酒爱好者以及偏好工业氛围的客人们。侍者可以通过一扇隐蔽的门从旁边的餐厅悄悄进入酒吧，取得位于墙边置物架上的酒。设备先进的小厨房使餐厅厨师有机会实验他们的新菜，调酒师则站在大理石吧台后方为客人制作鸡尾酒，使客人们也参与到表演中来。

Like its character in the Italian Commedia dell’arte, Arlechin is the cheeky bar addition to the Grossi Restaurant empire. Hidden behind a dark vault-like façade, Arlechin is the wine cellar turn laneway bar that is the place to be naughty. The venue is small and intimate, and accommodates a range of group sizes, attracting neighbourhood locals, sophisticated wine lovers and industrial lovers alike with its dungeon-like atmosphere and religious iconography. Waiters from the adjacent restaurants can sneak into the bar through a hidden door to access the wine collection located in black steel racks at the perimeter of the venue. A state-of-the-art micro-kitchen provides a chance for the restaurant chefs to escape and experiment with dishes served to unsuspecting punters. Bar staff mix cocktails behind the low marble bar slab, allowing punters the choice to watch or become part of the pantomime.

委托人也对本次设计感到十分满意： “Six Degrees”为我们创造了一个优雅而实用的酒吧，给人一种自然、舒适而不矫饰的感觉。设计师们的考虑非常周到，使酒吧兼具了美观和功能性。要打造一个能够在不同模式间灵活转换的空间具有一定的难度，但最终，空间中的各个部分共同发挥出了最佳功效，设计师在每个细节都花费了大量的心血。到目前为止我们也收获了顾客的一致的好评，其中最多的评论是‘每次都希望在这里坐上好几个小时’。”

“Six Degrees have helped transform our space into an elegant and functional bar. It feels natural, comfortable, and not contrived. The brief was very well considered creating a space that is both functional and beautiful. It was a challenging space to work with given the need to have flexibility in changing to different modes but the design has allowed all modes to work effectively, each of them feeling like the sole purpose of the space. The reception from guests so far has been overwhelmingly positive with most comments from people about wanting to sit tucked away in the space for hours.”
