这是一家位于Polanco，Miyana 的餐厅，由墨西哥事务所WORC设计，理念源于在墨西哥城中提供正宗的韩式风味。该项目的定位是朋友们小聚的场所，食客们可以通过美食的设计和烹饪来感受这一文化。

It is a restaurant that opens its doors in Miyana, Polanco designed by the Mexican office WORC whose concept arises from recreating the authentic flavors of Korean food in Mexico City. This project serves as a setting to share among friends, immersing visitors in this vast culture through the design and gastronomy of fine dining.

一进门，食客就可以感受到首尔的现代化和墨西哥城多元文化的魅力。从大堂开始，节奏感十足的重叠木格栅昭示着旅途的开始，上方的一系列照明标志着首尔的都市美学。室内设计采用了时尚的工业元素，让人联想到首尔的高层建筑和墨西哥温暖的纹理和色彩。水磨石地板与木地板相映成趣，金属细节体现了两种文化的活力。

Upon entering, guests are greeted by a fusion of Seoul ’s modernity and Mexico City’s eclectic charm. In the lobby, the journey announces its beginning through wooden panels that rhythmically overlap, crowned with a series of illuminated signs in the most urban aesthetic of the Korean capital. The interior design features sleek industrial elements reminiscent of Seoul ’s high-rise architecture and the warmth of Mexican textures and colors. Terrazzo floors soften against wooden floors and metal details reflect the dynamic energy of both cultures.

餐厅的主要用餐空间洋溢着青春的氛围和艺术化的风格，体现了弘大地区热闹的街道。涂鸦风格的壁画装饰了墙面也展示了韩国的街头文化。餐桌的位置也经过精心设计来鼓励更多的社交互动和社群感，体现了这一标志性街区著名的夜晚活跃氛围。这里充满了激情，食客们可以尽情享受自己动手烤制菜肴的互动体验。

The restaurant ’s main dining room reflects the lively streets of the Hongdae neighborhood, with its youthful atmosphere and artistic style. Graffiti-style murals decorate the walls and display a mix of Korean street art.The tables are strategically placed to encourage socialization and a sense of community, reflecting the vibrant gatherings of this iconic neighborhood ’s famous nightlife.

再往餐厅深处走，宾客会发现自己置身于一片宁静的绿洲之中，其灵感来自于韩国宁静的花园。设计通过木质的细节和黏土之间的对比致敬传统元素。半开放的用餐区使用了精致的韩国灯笼装饰，创造了一种静谧宁静的氛围。这种都市活跃和平静氛围的融合使餐厅成为墨西哥城中一处特殊诱人的用餐目的地。

Venturing further into the restaurant, guests find themselves in an oasis of tranquility inspired by the serene gardens of Korea. The design pays tribute to traditional elements with wood details and clay contrasts. The semi-private dining rooms are adorned with delicate Korean lanterns, creating an intimate and calm atmosphere. This fusion of urban excitement and calmness retreat makes the restaurant a unique and captivating dining destination in Mexico City.

对于那些想要追求更正宗的韩式风味的食客，餐厅中还设有三间卡拉OK房， 或者称之为”norebang”（韩国最初的叫法），每一间都可以带领食客们感受韩国文化的另一面。其中一个房间向霓虹灯和熙熙攘攘的江南街道致敬，家具和色彩都充满活力。另一个房间则体现了客厅的传统优雅，家具宽大舒适，还有足够的空间供人跳舞。最后，第三个房间是一个装饰完整的浴室，可以实现与朋友一起在浴室里唱歌的梦想。每间卡拉 OK 房都配备了最先进的音响系统和严密的隔音设备，确保营造出完美的音响效果。

For those looking for an even more authentic experience, the restaurant features three karaoke rooms, or“norebang” as it is originally called in Korea, each designed to transport guests to a different aspect of Korean culture. One room pays homage to the neon lights and bustling streets of Gangnam, with vibrant furniture and colors. Another room captures the traditional elegance of a living room, with large, comfortable furniture, plusplenty of space to dance. Finally, a third room is set in a complete bathroom, fully decorated, to fulfill the dream of singing in the shower in the company of friends. Each karaoke room offers state-of-the-art sound systems and rigorous construction that ensures the acoustic atmosphere is perfect.

材料的选择对于实现这一目标至关重要，空间的整体色调以暖色为主：赭色和铜色与Veta为 Xeúl 概念设计的家具中的黑色和灰色形成有趣的对比。家具的设计不仅追求舒适，同样实用灵活，因为家具也是附着在墙壁上的元素的一部分。椅子具有雕塑功能，也可根据需要提供额外的座位。

The choice of materials played a crucial role in achieving this goal; The color palette leans towards warm tones: ochres and coppers that generate an interesting contrast with the blacks and grays predominating in the furniture exclusively designed by Veta for the Xeúl concept. The collection was designed to be not only comfortable but also practical and flexible since the furniture is also part of the elements attached to walls, the chairs function as a sculptural piece to open the possibility of offering extra seats if required.
