意大利色彩，PICCOLINA冰淇淋旗艦店-設計風向

Hecker Guthrie為墨爾本的Piccolina冰淇淋品牌創建了一個新的旗艦店。這家新店鋪位於史密斯街(Smith Street)的Collingwood一側，店中翠綠顏色的參與使得空間富有層次感，空氣中彌漫著開心果的味道。5米長的鋪有森林色意大利方形瓷磚的冰淇淋操作台上展示了Piccolina的20種冰淇淋口味，以及它的旋轉特色冰淇淋和四種格蘭尼冰糕。

Hecker Guthrie have created a new flagship for Melbourne gelateria, Piccolina. Positioned on the Collingwood side of Smith Street, the new shop is layered with rich accents of emerald green and pistachio, and clad in forest-coloured, square-cut Italian tiles. A sweeping five-metre-long pozetti gelato bench displays Piccolina’s 20 gelato flavours, as well as its rotating specials, and four kinds of granita.

店主Sandra Fonti希望這個空間的設計能夠呼應20世紀50年代的意大利南部環境，從色彩設計到冰淇淋店設計，再到家庭烹飪和圍繞廚房聚會的想法。店內的綠色以及包裝上的紅色、白色和綠色標誌參考了意大利國旗。

Owner Sandra Fonti wanted the space to echo 1950s Southern Italy—from the colourways through to the theatre of gelato, and the idea of home cooking and gathering around the kitchen. Coats of green are intended to reference the Italian flag, as is Projects of Imagination’s red, white, and green logo and packaging.

綠色的運用也是該空間早期設計的想法。在設計期間，Hecker Guthrie保留了原有的建築特色，簡單的改造出新的空間。當內部磚牆暴露出來時，原有的綠色、奶油色和棕色塗料層被暴露出來，成為整個空間色彩的基礎。其他經過修複的包括原有的金屬天花板、水磨石地板和石拱門。

The green is also a nod to the building’s earlier occupancy. During the site’s renovation Hecker Guthrie exposed original architectural features, and worked only lightly to shape the new space. When the interior brickwork was exposed, pre-existing layers of paint in shades of green, cream, and brown were uncovered and became the foundation of the overall colour palette. Other restored original features include a pressed metal ceiling, terrazzo floor, and stone archway.

店鋪占地250平方米，是原先Piccolina在Hawthorn店麵的五倍大，可容納一個新的更大的廚房。一個長長的酒吧可以俯瞰廚房和糕點廚師，讓顧客和冰淇淋愛好者觀察冰淇淋和冰淇淋蛋糕的製作過程。

At 250 square metres, it’s about five times the footprint of the original Piccolina outpost in Hawthorn, with room for a new, larger commercial kitchen. A long bar overlooking the kitchen and pastry chefs allows patrons and gelato-enthusiasts to observe gelato and gelato cakes in the making.
