COQODAQ炸鸡店丨美国纽约丨Rockwell Group

COQODAQ是韩裔美籍老板Simon Kim历经4年推出的全新炸鸡品牌，Simon Kim在纽约和迈阿密还拥有米其林星级的COTE 韩式牛排店。与COTE一样，COQODAQ也位于Flatiron区，由行政总厨Seung Kyu Kim掌舵。

Four years in the making, COQODAQ is a new fried chicken concept from Korean-American restaurateur Simon Kim, owner of the Michelin-starred COTE Korean Steakhouse in New York and Miami. Located in the Flatiron district, as is COTE, COQODAQ is helmed by executive chef Seung Kyu Kim.

Rockwell Group受Simon Kim的愿望启发，渴望打造一座属于炸鸡的现代教堂。为打造COQODAQ（韩语中“公鸡叫”的拟声词），我们在昏暗、奢华的餐厅中融入了新艺术的气息、定制家具以及充满活力、规划精密的照明系统。整体色调以猎人的绿色皮革、深色胡桃木、建筑照明、香槟色玻璃、皂石、青铜和发光的漆板为特点。光作为物质，分层编排，以强调食物的纹理和颜色，照亮顾客的用餐环境。这样的色调为顾客带来温暖的气息，营造一种从白天到夜晚色调和氛围都会发生变化的舒适空间，让人在随时都能感到愉悦。

Rockwell Group was inspired by Simon Kim’s desire to create a modern cathedral for all things fried chicken . For COQODAQ (an onomatopoeia for “cock-a-doodle-doo” in Korean), we infused the dark, luxurious dining room with touches of art nouveau, custom furniture and dynamic, highly strategic lighting throughout. The material palette features hunter green leather, dark walnut wood, architectural lighting, champagne glass, soapstone, bronze, and glowing lacquered paneling. Light is a material here, layered and choreographed to emphasize the textures and color of the food and the unified organism that is the audience. The palette was driven by a desire to surround guests in an envelope of warmth, creating an inviting environment that changes in tonality and mood from day to night and is a joyful place to be at any time.

顾客已进入餐厅便会看到由绿色皂石制成的洗手台，洗手台采用皮革饰面以及意式青铜色构件。位于下方的嵌入式混凝土“地毯”进一步定义了空间。这种令人舒适的元素为顾客从繁忙的街道中营造出舒缓的间歇与过渡时刻；为即将用餐的顾客带来便捷；同时，提升客人等待时的仪式感和庄重性。

Guests are greeted in the restaurant by a handwashing station in green soapstone with a leathered finish and bronze Italian fixtures. An inset concrete “carpet” below further delineates the space. This completely new hospitality element creates a beautiful moment of respite and transition from the busy street; is an offering of convenience for guests who are about to embark on a sensory dining experience; and, simultaneously, heightens the sense of ritual and splendor that awaits.

台面四周采用180度的流光灯以及黑色镜面。嵌入式的暖铜色镜面让顾客沐浴在迷人的光辉下。收餐厅的卵形logo启发，光线落在镜面上形成动人的延伸效果。

The station is surrounded by 180 degrees of edge-lit, black- tinted mirrors. An inset warm bronze mirror bathes guests in a flattering, luminous glow. Lights inspired by the restaurant’s ovoid logo are mounted to the mirrors for a dramatic infinity effect.

经过洗手台后，顾客会来到一个先到先得、较为随意的公共用餐区，餐桌采用木材与混凝土制成，还有高台面和可变形、可移动的家具，方便变换。这间充满活力的空间与室外架高的用餐空间通过可开启的车库门式窗户相连，形成迎接人们的标志——在这个生机勃勃的空间中，顾客可以随意停留。

Beyond the handwashing station, an informal and communal dining area features a first-come, first-served custom communal table made of wood and concrete, plus high tops and mutable, moveable furniture pieces for easy transformation. This high-energy space connects to elevated outdoor dining through operable garage-door style windows, and serves as the restaurant’s welcome sign—a vibrant area where guests can pop in for any length of time.

以吧台和定制的好莱坞式长桌为标志，建筑师为温馨的用餐空间增添了一丝奢华与活力。餐厅中跑道式的通道由一系列“灵性”的拱门组成，这些拱门采用发光的玻璃构件和青铜色金属连接而成，这种典型的建筑元素在空间中被光线渲染，为用餐者和食物带来闪亮的光芒。面向人行道的长椅两侧装有剧院式的灯光，带来戏剧般的效果。房间尽头的镜面墙体营造出无线纵深的效果。另外，水平的黑色镜面条带和一体化的灯光环绕着纵横双向座椅，为空间奠定基调并衬托出餐厅的活力。

The intimate dining room has an added layer of luxury and liveliness and is dominated by a bar and custom Hollywood banquettes. The dining room’s runway-like circulation is rhythmically marked by a series of “ghost” arches made of lit cast glass and bronze metal connections—a typically- architectural intervention rendered here in light, instead, and casting a sparkling glow on diners and food. Theater lights on the sides of the banquettes that face the walkway create additional drama. A mirrored wall at the end of the room creates an infinity effect. And a horizontal band of black-tinted mirrors and integrated lighting frame the back of both rows of banquettes, creating a datum line and further reflecting the activity of the restaurant.

座椅背后的漆面墙体采用了传统的处理，但增添了新颖而现代的裂纹效果，仿佛脆皮炸鸡外层精致的纹理。柔软的森林绿色长椅采用绷带木为边框。座椅的高度足够低，以便顾客以舒适的姿势放松双臂。定制的木桌内嵌懒人沙发，上面镌刻着餐厅的logo，非常适合团体用餐。

Plaster walls panels behind the banquettes have a traditional trim, but were treated with a surprising and contemporary crackled effect, a subtle reference to the exquisitely crisp skin of the fried chicken. Muted forest green banquettes are framed by tambour wood. The banquettes are purposefully low enough for guests to rest their arms across, for casual comfort. Custom wood tables feature inset Lazy Susans engraved with the restaurant’s logo, perfect for sharing dishes with a group.

黑色的皂石台面经过皮革处理，略带绿色，与洗手台相呼应。吧台由一个绷簧木模和简约的黑色酒架组成。

The black soapstone bar has a leathered finish and a slight green tint that relates to the handwashing station. The bar is completed by a tambour wood die and simple up-lit black liquor shelf.
