多伦多 iQ Food Co· 餐厅

iQ Food Co.休闲餐厅位于多伦多北约克，为顾客提供了一个暂时远离城市活动的沉浸式体验。餐厅空间将客人从日常生活中解放出来，享受源源不断的应季健康食品，这也是iQ Food Co.品牌的核心。

For iQ Food Co.’s fast-casual location in North York, Toronto, an immersive experience offers a moment’s refuge from the activity of the city. The space transports guests out of their everyday to enjoy sustainably sourced and seasonally healthy food, the focus of the iQ Food Co. brand.

▼餐厅内部，overview of the project

餐厅是品牌现有最小的沿街店面，面积不到900平方英尺，设计回应该位置的需求，在考虑场地实际空间限制的同时兼顾品牌的视觉识别性。通过将备餐厨房放置在空间的前方，设计促进了员工与客人之间的交流，让顾客看到正在准备的新鲜食物，这一区域的上方布置着绿色植物。借助开放式厨房的概念，客人可以观察体验正在准备的食物，从而体现出品牌对食物和准备食物过程的重视。备餐区域的上方悬挂着一面大镜子，与iQ其他店面中的位置一致。这些镜子的使用参考了烹饪演示中使用的镜子，强调品牌使命对季节性、可持续性和本地食材的重视。

The smallest street front location to date, at just under 900 sq ft., the design responds to the needs of the location, considering the constraints of the physical space while staying true to the brand’s visual identity. By placing the prep kitchen in the front of house, the design encourages social interaction between staff and guests, with visibility of fresh food being prepared, framed by greenery just above. An emphasis on food and food preparation is achieved through an open concept kitchen which allows guests to see and experience the food as it is being prepared. A large suspended mirror hangs over the preparation area, consistent with all iQ locations. The use of these mirrors references those used in cooking demonstrations, emphasizing the brand’s mission of the importance of seasonally, sustainable, and locally sourced food.

以外卖食物为主，使用者的空间体验只有短暂的一段时间。为了营造一种吸引回头客的持久印象，设计师将重点放在一系列建筑元素上：一个7英尺高的木材与玻璃隔板包裹着整个空间，形成一种宏伟感。嵌入隔板的纹理玻璃墙面如同一扇窗户，让人们看到想象中的室外空间，这里沿着窗户前方布置，内部有茂盛的绿色植物。绿色植物的背景与外部城市景观形成对比，强调暂时庇护所的设计概念。空间采用各种木材元素模拟植物和自然元素的丰富性——白橡木地板、碳化墙面板、白色漆面木材、小型木材细节，给予空间更具触感的品质和良好的使用体验。

With a focus on take-out, users experience the space for only a few moments. To create a lasting impression that encourages guests to return, emphasis was placed on architectural elements including a 7-foot tall bulkhead in wood and glass which envelopes the entire perimeter of the space to create a sense of grandeur. Inset within the bulkhead, the textured glass wall acts as a window to an imagined outdoor space with lush greenery running along the front of the window. The backdrop of greenery contrasts the exterior city landscape, supporting the concept of a momentary retreat. Mimicking the abundance of plants and natural elements, the space is clad in various wood elements—white oak floors, charred wall planks, white painted wood, smaller millwork details—to give the space a more tactile quality and ground the user in the experience.

照明是空间另一个重要设计元素，照亮着隔墙边缘、植物墙、通道和开放式备餐厨房。灯光将客人的注意力吸引到设计元素上，强调了品牌对健康食物和地球的关注。

The lighting is a key design feature of the space, illuminating the perimeter bulkhead, plant wall, as well as the circulation paths, and prep kitchen. The lighting directs guest’s attention to the elements of the design that reinforce the brands focus on healthy food and planet.
