台湾40年的错层老房子，变身奇幻复古餐厅

BEE DUCK鸭蜜是去年在台湾高雄新开业的一家餐厅，这里原本是一座有着40年房龄的传统透天厝老房子，来自本土的设计工作室HAO Design将蒸汽朋克美学引入其中，让餐厅呈现出一种维多利亚时代的工业风。该建筑原始格局比较狭长，内部有许多钢架结构和错层空间，HAO Design利用这些特质，打造了一系列引人入胜的空间，让顾客去探索。内装使用了大量回收的旧铁件和蒸汽工业时代的设备，并将具有时代感的家具和一系列鸭头人身的经典画像融入到整个空间中，打造出一个华丽复古的奇幻地，令人叹为观止。
Taking over a traditional terrace house in in Kaohsiung city, Taiwan, BEE DUCK is a new restaurant that whimsically conjures the industrial side of the Victorian era through a steampunk aesthetic. Local interior design studio HAO Design has taken advantage of the building’s idiosyncrasies – a narrow, elongated floor plan, steel frame construction and multiple mezzanine levels – creating an intriguing sequence of spaces that begs to be explored. Salvaged cast iron components and repurposed industrial equipment, eclectically combined with period furnishings and a collection of classical portraits featuring anthropomorphic ducks, conjure a retro-fantastical venue that imbue patrons with wonder and delight.

由于建筑的格局比较狭长，室内采光成为设计师首要解决的问题。他们将原有的楼梯后移并刻意抬高，在建筑的中央形成一个天井，这样不仅可以让阳光从天窗照射进来，充足且平均地散落在每个独立的错层上，而且还能让顾客无论身处餐厅的哪一个位置，都能够感受到错落交织的层次关系给他们带来的乐趣与惊喜。
The main challenge that the designers had to deal with was the lack of natural lighting in the heart of the building due to the property’s narrow floorplan. Their solution was to create a small atrium in the heart of the building by moving the existing staircase to the back – a complicated intervention which also entailed raising the height of part of the building in order to accommodate the new staircase. The small atrium not only allows natural light to flood inside from the skylight above and trickle down to the ground floor, but also permits patrons to cherish the playful tangle of mezzanine levels from all sort of vantage points and viewing angles as they move across and around the restaurant.

设计师利用老房里的钢架结构，通过保留带有时代斑驳感的钢结构，到大量钢材的使用（比如新的楼梯和栏杆），再到老式的法国原铁窗栅，都为室内注入了一种复古工业美学。天井楼梯到处可见的黄铜扶手，复古精雕玻璃的立面和黑色的陶瓷地砖，再加上用古老的零件专门制作的灯具——其中最引人注目的，要数一个用古老的实验室玻璃器皿和生锈的铁箍以及老旧机械齿轮制作的大吊灯，这一切都是在向19世纪的工业时代致敬。
Taking advantage of the 40-year-old building’s steel frame construction, the designers have imbued the interior with a retro-industrial aesthetic by exposing the weathered steel structure, and using steel throughout the interiors, seen in the new staircase and balustrades, to the vintage French cast iron window grilles. Nods to the 19th-century industrial era abound with brass handrails around the atrium, vintage patterned glass in the facades and black, kiln-fired ceramic floor tiles, as well as a rich collection of bespoke light fixtures made from vintage components – the most notable of which is a large chandelier made from antique laboratory glassware, rusted iron fasteners and vintage cogs and gears that could very well have come out of a Jules Verne book.

空间里那些配有抛光金边镜子的古典家具，带着前工业时代的印记；鸭头人身的画像，以及新建楼梯周围的木架上摆放的皮面书籍和各种古色古香的瓶瓶罐罐，让餐厅里那种怀旧和虚幻的感觉变得更加浓郁，像极了柯南·道尔笔下所描绘的生活场景。
The nostalgic blurring of history and fiction is further enhanced by a mishmash of classic furniture with a pre-industrial polish, gilded framed mirrors and portraits of illustrious anthropomorphic ducks, not to mention the wood panelled displays of leather-bound books and vintage vials and flasks adorning the new staircase where it seems Arthur Conan Doyle’s characters would have feel very much at home.
