就像在一个瓶子里建造一艘船。这是我们与James Beard获奖厨师Renee Erickson合作创建Willmott’s Ghost的经历，该餐厅位于西雅图亚马逊总部的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由三个相连的玻璃穹顶组成，里面有一个“云森林”，种植了来自世界各地的植物，为员工提供工作场所，为公众提供绿色空间。设计团队从建筑独特的几何形状和现代艺术博物馆和画廊明亮通风的环境中获得灵感。在一个球形的围护结构中，餐厅所在的区域对于设计团队来说是一个巨大的挑战，因为大部分建筑都是由曲线决定的。
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.
弯曲的皮革长椅和摊位环绕着玻璃周边。弯曲的墙壁覆盖着彩色木桩，界定了餐厅，弯曲的酒吧和意大利大理石台面的弧形栏杆组成了空间。
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的名字来源于为纪念维多利亚时代的园艺师Ellen Ann Willmott而命名的蓟花。它可容纳约50人，是The Spheres向公众开放的三个空间之一。
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.
