莲喰是一家以莲子为主材的糖水铺，在广东经营已有三十年。TAO&C应邀为莲喰设计了他们在上海古北的第一间店铺。设计师希望在都市化的环境中，通过设计唤起人们对一间传统糖水铺的记忆和向往。今时广东，那些传统糖水档口依旧在小巷里生生不已，朴素的布帘、手写繁体木餐牌和陈旧的拼接桌椅，组成了一种普通而亲切的日常，和置于都市背景下的陌生。 Lotus Dessert is located inside a Carrefour in Shanghai, which specializes in traditional Cantonese dessert use lotus seeds as the main ingredient. The designer intends to recall the memories of a traditional street food stall with simple contemporary design language. The fabric curtain signs, menu handwritten on a wooden board convey an ordinary everyday life atmosphere, but also with a sense of strangeness in an urban environment. ▼糖水铺外观，view of the shop
重拾日常之美，是TAO&C的设计线索。意向落入设计之前的首要考虑是如何在极小的尺度中实现功能的集合，将厨房、点餐吧台和座位区三大区块融入20平方米内, 并容纳适宜的尺度和恰当的联系。在隔出厨房之后，围绕边界做一层浅木色木柜和墙板。座位区被浅木色墙板舒适的包围，利用实木多层板的材料自身特性——侧边和面层的不同，形成立面上的线与面的构图，也是工艺本身的结构体现。 Accommodated the kitchen, bar and seating area within 20 square meters, the designer seeks restore the appropriate dimensions. The kitchen is hided behind, the designer wrapped all the enclosures with maple plywood at a datum line about 2.2 meters high, resulted in a cozy seating are surrounded by wood. By emphasizing the nature of the plywood – the wooden plane and the side of section shows the multi-layers, the plane as the wall panels, the side as the structures and frames, formed a composition of the elevation which is simple and meanwhile complicate. ▼明确分区的空间，functional division

厨房和吧台之间的柜子嵌入条纹玻璃和木框组合，木框既是对外的展示柜也是厨房的操作台；条纹玻璃令视觉得以延伸，透着厨房明亮的灯光和忙碌的身影，隐约传递出某种属于街头夜市的热闹氤氲。于是墙体的坚实感被消解，简单的关系之中又蕴含比例的精致多变和复杂。 The wooden cabinets between the kitchen and bar were embedded with striated glass and framed by the stripes of plywood, functions as both the external display cabinet and the inner kitchen counter. The glass enables us to see through the kitchen, the solidity of the wall disappeared. ▼既是展示柜也是厨房操作台的木框，the cabinets functions as both the external display cabinet and the inner kitchen counter

黄铜色的金属吊杆和顶灯，极为克制的回应当下的商业氛围。墙面、顶部和吧台立面漆以苔绿色，和浅木色的搭配构成明快平实的视觉效果，契合主题食材莲子的味甘气温和清芳之气，为使用者创建视觉和味觉相融合的空间体验。 The bronze frames hanging from the ceiling combine with banners, sign and suspended lights. The ceiling and wall above the datum line were painted in green, with the finish of maple plywood, creating an atmosphere of bright and fresh as the flavor of the dessert. ▼黄铜色的金属吊杆和顶灯，the bronze frames and lighting
