以色列设计事务所Baranowitz & Goldberg为知名主厨Yuval Ben-Neriah打造了一间名叫“a”的新餐厅。该餐厅位于特拉维夫Azrieli-Sarona大厦二层。

Israeli architecture firm Baranowitz & Goldberg officially unveils their newest project, “a” restaurant by acclaimed Chef Yuval Ben-Neriah, located on the second floor of Azrieli-Sarona Tower in Tel Aviv.

沿着一道弧形的墙壁，客人将由纵深的门廊进入餐厅。在墙腰的位置，一块完整的海绿色氧化面板展现出丰富的肌理，平衡了冷与热、辣与甜以及咸与酸之间的对比关系，同时作为对餐厅菜肴本身的回应。

从现代日本建筑和美学中汲取灵感，餐厅的室内设计采用浅而暖的灰色和海绿色，并点缀以铝质涂层的餐桌和土黄色的木椅。铜元素和木质餐椅让空间的色彩更加生动，水磨石地面引入了一丝绿色，使人联想到欧洲建筑的材料特征，同时也致敬了以色列的当地传统。

A curving wall greets “a”’s guests and gently directs them to the door located at the end of an elongated vestibule, while at waist level, a singular, oxidized aquamarine panel of varying textures and shapes harmonizes the dichotomy between hot and cold, spicy and sweet, salty and sour, to reflect the cuisine itself.

“a” is dressed in monochromatic shades of light warm grey and aquamarine green, accented by aluminum-coated tables and earthy-wood chairs that draw its inspiration from modern Japanese architecture and aesthetics. The copper patina and wood of the dining chairs endow the space with accents of color, while the terrazzo grey floor introduces a sprinkle of green reminiscent of European materiality with a nod to local Israeli heritage.

竖墙是餐厅主要的建筑特征，承担了定义和塑造主用餐区的作用：它将厨房与餐厅隔开，并沿着主厅延伸，为支配整个空间的拱形结构提供了坚实的基座。该建筑形式直接来源于空间固有的尺寸比例，引发了人们对于古典柱廊和教堂空间的遐想。

The straight wall becomes the main architectural feature and assumes the role of defining and sculpting the main dining space. Partitioning the kitchen from the restaurant and stretching all along the hall, the straight wall is the base of the half-arch that governs the entire space with one single brush stroke. This classic architectural form, drawn directly from the existing proportions of the given space, is long, narrow and tall, and evokes the associations of classic colonnades and churches.

通过这道隔墙，主用餐区的空间被水平地分为三个部分，它们各自扮演着不同的角色：半拱形结构的基座部分以蓝绿色的铜质饰面包覆，以一种优雅的方式表达了时间的流逝。基座上方延伸出一个狭长的窗口，将厨房里的繁忙活动和富有创意的烹饪场景展现于墙外。最顶部是向外“挥洒”的半拱形结构，定义了用餐区最显著的氛围特征。

空间西侧完全以玻璃围合，使大量的自然光得以在黄昏时涌入并照亮整个空间。夜晚，透明的立面引入特拉维夫迷人的城市景色，在客人与城市、室内与室外之间建立起强有力的连接。

This main partition that defines the dining hall is horizontally divided in three, where each part fulfills a different role: a graphic composition in the language of the half-arch realized in turquoise copper patina cladding embellishes the base of the partition. The patina recalls classic domed edifices and sculptures adorning western cities and elegantly expressing the passage of time. Above this base stretches a long narrow window exposing the industrious activity and the creative culinary force beyond the wall, while above the middle layer, the half-arch jets outward to define the experience from above.

The entire western-directing wall of “a” is ensnared in glass to allow for heaps of natural light to pour and illuminate the space at dusk, and to connect the diners to the city itself at nighttime with beautiful, unobstructed views of Tel Aviv’s Sarona complex and park, thus establishing a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor.

餐厅尽端是拉丝铝材质的酒架墙，它作为中央酒吧的背景，将整个空间引向了高潮。用餐区的座位被赋予多种形式，其中包括位于空间中心的细长吧台。餐桌以两种不同色调的铝板制成，与餐厅其他部位的铜质元素形成呼应。餐厅内部还设有一间私人餐室，提供超大型的聚会餐桌，最多可容纳20位客人。

The end of the architectural view culminates in the sake library at the far end of the restaurant. The sake library is constructed with brushed aluminum, which defines the end of the space and functions as the backdrop of the restaurant’s central bar. The seating experiences are also conceived as broad gestures and consist mainly of an elongated bar located in the center of the space. The dining tables are designed in the same language as the patina cladding and are made of aluminum plates in two different shaded finishes. Within “a” also exists a private dining space that boasts an oversized table for communal gatherings and can be transformed into an even larger piece that can host up to 20 people.
