一场早C晚A的空间交响
(注：早Coffee晚Alcohol，俗称日咖夜酒)
Lè CHAOS与Pencil Coffee，双方都是业内知名的料理人与咖啡师，一拍即合而共同经营一间融合业态的餐饮”小店”。一场舌尖上的”高端局”，空间的”交响乐章”。
Lè CHAOS and Pencil Coffee, both renowned figures in the culinary and coffee industry, have come together to jointly operate a unique dining “boutique” that combines different concepts. It is a gastronomic experience that harmonizes flavors, and a symphony of space.
项目概况 Project overview
项目选址于喧闹的南台巷街头，这里是南京新街口地区最具商业活力的小街区之一，周边林立了众多红火而新潮的各式商铺，密集的住宅和便捷的交通给这里的陈旧街道带来了络绎不绝的人流。而本次空间改造的重点则是希望能给附近的社区生活提供一个舒适且温馨的小聚场所，一个放松享受咖啡、美食、美酒与情感联接的交融空间。
The project is located on the bustling Nan Tai Lane, which is one of the most vibrant small blocks in the Xinjiekou area of Nanjing. The surrounding area is filled with numerous thriving and trendy shops, and the dense residential population and convenient transportation bring a constant flow of people to these old streets. The focus of this space transformation is to provide a comfortable and cozy gathering place for the nearby community, a blended space where people can relax and enjoy coffee, food, wine, and emotional connections.
我们将门头设计尽量保持克制，以一种安静而确实，温馨且不张扬的方式，运用最贴合人原始触感的”木”与”石”去呈现，用平易近人的开放姿态，自然而然地融入到社区之中。
We aim to maintain a restrained and understated design for the storefront, creating a quiet yet warm atmosphere without being ostentatious. We will incorporate elements of “wood” and “stone,” which closely resonate with people’s primal senses, to present a natural and welcoming aesthetic. With an approachable and open stance, the design will seamlessly integrate into the local community.

解构与再生 Deconstruction and regeneration
老社区的建筑大多情况复杂，因而本案的基础建筑条件也并不理想，不规则的户型，核心位置占据着管路，楼上居民生活等不利因素较多。但同时也有着喜人的优点，内部大面积的天窗带来了优越的采光和通透感。
In many cases, buildings in older communities have complex structures, which means that the basic architectural conditions for this project are not ideal. The irregular layouts, utility pipes occupying central positions, and inconveniences caused by residents living above pose several challenges. However, there are also notable advantages. The large skylights within the interior provide excellent natural lighting and a sense of openness.
我们对户型进行了全面的解构，仅保留原始天窗并加以结构优化加固，中心管路移位让出核心空间后，对动线与布局完整重构。
We have conducted a comprehensive deconstruction of the floor plan, keeping only the original skylights and reinforcing them structurally. By relocating the central utility pipes and freeing up the core space, we have completely redesigned the circulation and layout of the space.

入口处主动内推，从而增加出灰空间，用开放包容的姿态将社区引入室内，模糊了内外的边界，激活人与人的连接，咖啡与美食就是我们的桥梁。
By proactively pushing the entrance inwards, we have increased the space for gathering and created a welcoming atmosphere that invites the community indoors. This design approach blurs the boundaries between the interior and exterior, fostering connections between people and activating social interactions. Coffee and food serve as our bridges, bringing people together in a warm and inclusive environment.

我们也将吧台调整形态，在不影响主动线顺畅通行的情况下，贴心增加了吧台座位，极力地为老友新朋营造一个近距离享受咖啡与美酒的“内场座位”。
We have also reconfigured the shape of the bar counter to accommodate additional seating without obstructing the smooth flow of the main circulation path. With careful consideration, we have added bar seats to create an intimate “inner seating area” where both old friends and new acquaintances can enjoy coffee and wine up close.

原始门洞之间增设挑板作为了”角打”区（注：日本文化中站着喝酒的方式称之为角打），”恰巧”形成了与吧台对视的”交谈之窗”，我们倚站着享受美酒的同时，可以最自然地和吧台形成互动，灵动地增加了交互的空间层次。
Between the original doorways, additional platforms were added to create a “kakuuchi” area, coincidentally forming a “conversation window” facing the bar counter. As we lean and stand, enjoying our drinks, we can naturally interact with the bar counter, dynamically enhancing the spatial interaction.

额外增加的一处门洞带来了灵活开放的洄游动线，是咖啡与美食的自然过渡，同时也在这里融合交响。这个空间也分割出了高效舒适的洗手间功能。
The addition of an extra doorway brings about a flexible and open circulation path, allowing for a natural transition between coffee and cuisine, while also harmonizing symphony here. This space also incorporates efficient and comfortable restroom facilities, delineating them separately.

经过结构加固优化过的天窗与庭院，现在可以呈L型完全地打开一角，将室外空气与自然天光毫无保留地纳入室内，轻易便可享受到南京四季分明的自然景致。
After structural reinforcement and optimization, the skylight and courtyard have been redesigned to form an L-shaped configuration, fully opening up one corner. This design allows unrestricted entry of outdoor air and natural daylight, allowing one to easily enjoy the distinct seasons and natural scenery of Nanjing.

主要材料选用多种石材、手工砖、海洋板，用来营造社区小店温暖舒适的氛围，同时在合适的墙面柱面增加镜子来延伸不算宽敞的空间，并起到模糊相邻空间边界的作用。
The main materials selected include a variety of stones, handmade bricks, and marine boards to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for the community store. Additionally, mirrors are strategically added to suitable wall surfaces and columns to extend the perception of space and blur the boundaries between adjacent areas.

不时点缀的蓝色铁艺与温暖的黄色相互映衬。提醒着进店的食客们，这是一家有着法式风味的bistro小酒馆。
The occasional blue ironwork accents beautifully complement the warm yellow tones, reminding diners as they enter that this is a bistro-style tavern with a touch of French flavor.
