就像在一個瓶子裏建造一艘船。這是我們與James Beard獲獎廚師Renee Erickson合作創建Willmott’s Ghost的經曆，該餐廳位於西雅圖亞馬遜總部的The Spheres。
Like building a ship in a bottle. That was our experience when we collaborated with James Beard Award winning Chef Renee Erickson, to create Willmott’s Ghost, located in The Spheres at Amazon Headquarters in Seattle.
The Spheres由三個相連的玻璃穹頂組成，裏麵有一個“雲森林”，種植了來自世界各地的植物，為員工提供工作場所，為公眾提供綠色空間。設計團隊從建築獨特的幾何形狀和現代藝術博物館和畫廊明亮通風的環境中獲得靈感。在一個球形的圍護結構中，餐廳所在的區域對於設計團隊來說是一個巨大的挑戰，因為大部分建築都是由曲線決定的。
The Spheres are glass-enclosed domes containing a cloud forest conservatory with thousands of flora from throughout the world, and are the centerpiece of Amazon’s downtown campus. The design team drew inspiration from the unique geometry of the building and the bright, airy environments of modern art museums and galleries. Enclosed within a spherical envelope, the area housing the restaurant proved an incredible – and inspiring – challenge, as much of the architecture is dictated by curves.
彎曲的皮革長椅和攤位環繞著玻璃周邊。彎曲的牆壁覆蓋著彩色木樁，界定了餐廳，彎曲的酒吧和意大利大理石台麵的弧形欄杆組成了空間。
Curved leather banquettes and booths hug the glass perimeter. Curved walls clad in painted wood pickets define the dining room, and curved bars with Italian marble tops organize the space.
Willmott’s Ghost的名字來源於為紀念維多利亞時代的園藝師Ellen Ann Willmott而命名的薊花。它可容納約50人，是The Spheres向公眾開放的三個空間之一。
Willmott’s Ghost takes its name from the thistle-like flower christened in honor of Victorian horticulturalist Ellen Ann Willmott. It seats around 50 people and is one of only three spaces in The Spheres open to the public.
