这个“户外”餐厅坐落在墨尔本霍普顿路住宅里，旨在容纳一大群人同时进餐而不影响住宅内部的流线。可以滑动打开的钢框架落地窗围合了这个餐厅，创造出真正意义上的户外用餐体验。

The outdoor dining room at the Hopetoun Road Residence was expressly made for the purpose of accommodating a large group of people without impacting the flow of the interior of the house. The steel framed windows which enclose this area slide open to create a truly “outdoor” dining experience.

之所以选择混凝土作为房间中央餐桌的材料，是由于它靠近室外，客户希望使用一种坚固耐用的材料。当面对桌子坐下时，能看见桌面侧边弯曲的弧线细节，非常的美丽。这条曲线减轻了这张四米长的餐桌的潜在重量，三条为了支撑跨度的桌腿也在两端加入了曲线这一元素。

The choice of concrete for the central dining table was borne from its proximity to the outside and the clients need for a robust material. The curved edge detail to the thick edge is beautiful to feel when sitting against it. The curve mitigates the potential ‘heaviness’ of the form, which at 4 metres in length is substantial. The three legs required to support the span have incorporated the curve at the ends.

当设计师勾勒出合适的桌面和桌腿轮廓后，他们开始思考桌子的制造过程。为了实现曲线元素，设计师们使用了CNC技术，利用大块的泡沫切割出定制的桌子模板。将模板带到户外餐厅后，建立起一个临时的钢架结构来支撑这个模板。最终，由一个专门的团队浇灌了混凝土并加工完成了这个桌子。因为桌子的规模过大，这件作品必须在场地内制作。

Once we arrived at suitable profiles for the top and legs, the fabrication needed to be worked out. To achieve the curved elements, custom form-work was CNC routed from large pieces of foam. These were taken to site where a temporary structural table was erected to support the formwork. A steel support system was built and a specialised team poured and finished the concrete. Due to the scale, the piece could not be made offsite and brought in.
