Linehouse新作，香港莊館John Anthony餐廳-設計風向

Linehouse最近在香港完成了一家摩登華麗而又典雅的中餐廳設計，此次設計借鑒了一位跨文化先驅的生活經驗，也參考了倫敦東區一家複古的中式餐廳。餐廳以John Anthony的名字命名。安東尼於1805年加入英國國籍，是首位在中國出生的英國人。安東尼在倫敦東區萊姆豪斯的東印度公司(East India Company)工作，他的工作是為抵達的中國船員提供食宿。

Linehouse has completed a contemporary dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong that takes its cue from the life of a cross-cultural pioneer, but also references a retro, Chinese canteen in east London. the restaurant is named after John Anthony, the first Chinese-born man to be naturalised as a British citizen, in 1805. Anthony worked for the East India Company at Limehouse in London’s east end, where his job was to provide food and lodging to arriving Chinese sailors.

Linehouse聯合創始人Alex Mok說：“設計借鑒了John Anthony的旅程，探索東西方建築風格和材料的融合，以及帶有東方細節的殖民建築，創造了一個由英國茶館改造而來的中國食堂。”在整個餐廳裏，Linehouse都在探索安東尼自己在旅途中會遇到的材料：手工釉麵磚、赤陶土、手工染色的麵料和手工編織的柳條。

“The design drew on John Anthony’s journey, exploring the fusion of architectural styles and materiality between east and west as well as colonial architecture blurred with eastern detailing, to create a British tea hall turned Chinese canteen,” said Linehouse co-founder Alex Mok.Throughout the restaurant, Linehouse explored the materials Anthony himself would have encountered on his journey: hand-glazed tiles, natural and racked renders, terracotta, hand-dyed fabrics and hand-woven wickers.

客人們從白色金屬製成的樓梯進入，樓梯的背光是用擴散玻璃製成的。入口處飾有室內石灰綠色水磨石地板和三層高的拱形天花板，粉紅色瓷磚。粉色的拱門通過高層的鏡子反射。

John Anthony guests enter down a staircase made of white metal and back-lit with diffused glass. The entrance offers a hint of the interior’s lime green terrazzo floor and triple-height arched ceiling, clad in pink tiles. The pink arches are reflected through the space in high-level mirrors.

主餐廳旨在重新詮釋倫敦碼頭區的倉庫和拱形天花板。而大廳鋪設的地板來自中國農村廢棄房屋的再生陶土磚。中式餐廳和殖民地風格的融合體現在木條的細節上，玻璃櫥窗、柳條家具、黃金和栗色的花卉麵料。

The main dining hall aims to reinterpret the storehouses of London’s docklands with a vaulted ceiling. The floors of this main hall are paved with reclaimed terracotta tiles from abandoned houses in rural China.The fusion of Chinese canteen and colonial design is captured in the details of the timber bar with glass vitrines, wicker furniture, and gold and maroon floral fabrics.

酒吧上方懸掛著一組玻璃管，裏麵裝有注入香料的杜鬆子酒。在酒吧上方的牆壁上，拱形飛地展示著一種昂貴的杜鬆子酒。白色的金屬結構，讓人想起工業倉庫的屋頂，懸掛式定製的木管燈懸掛在天花板上。用餐區的牆壁上飾有錘打銅燈。

A collection of glass tubes containing gins infused with botanicals found along the spice routes hang above the bar. In the wall above the bar, arch-shaped enclaves display an expansive gin collection.A white metal structure, reminiscent of an industrial storehouse roof, hangs from the render ceiling with suspended custom timber tube lamps. In the dining area, hammered copper lights line the walls.

在主廳外，有一係列拱形空間可讓您享受更加私密的用餐體驗。拱門采用手工製作的綠色和藍色瓷磚以及廚房的框架視圖。

Beyond the main hall, a series of arched spaces allow for more intimate dining. The arches are clad in handmade green and blue tiles and frame views of the kitchen.

餐廳後麵是一間用瓷磚手工印製的全封閉式私人餐廳，上麵有18世紀中英貿易商品的大型插圖，比如藥用罌粟和珍奇動物。

A completely private dining room in the back of the restaurant features tiles hand-printed with large scale illustrations of commodities traded between the British and Chinese in the eighteenth century, such as medicinal poppies and exotic animals.

酒吧後麵的一個房間裏設有花卉展位，由掛在銅軌上的奶油色亞麻窗簾隔開。手工染色的靛藍亞麻布懸掛在天花板上，營造出航海生活。定製的銅質麵盆安裝在水池上方，再生塑料管排列在浴室的天花板上。浴室門上的圓形窗戶也參考了東印度公司的船隻。

Behind the bar a room features floral booths divided by cream linen curtains hanging from a copper rail. Hand-dyed indigo linen hangs from the ceiling to invoke nautical life.Custom copper mounted vanities are fitted above the basins and recycled plastic tubes line the ceiling of the bathroom stalls. Circular windows in the bathroom doors also reference the ships of the East India Company.

除了東西方設計的融合外，室內設計以可持續性為導向，餐廳提供的食品和飲料也體現了這一點。菜單和杯墊由升級紙和塑料製成，地磚可回收，材料可持續采購。

As well as this east-meets-west design fusion, the interior scheme was guided by sustainability, which is also reflected in the food and drinks served at the restaurant. Menus and coasters are made of up-cycled paper and plastic, the floor tiles are reclaimed and materials are sustainably sourced.

“這個項目的所有照明都是與當地工匠合作的定製設計，” Mok說，“大多數家具也是定製設計的；餐椅，所有桌子，藤沙發都是當地生產的。”

“All the lighting for this project was custom designed in-house, working with local craftsmen,” said Mok. “Most of the furniture was also custom-designed; the dining chair, all the tables, the rattan sofa are all locally produced.”
