Esca餐厅丨土耳其伊兹密尔丨URBANJOBS

URBANJOBS，这个以材料驱动的室内设计工作室，最近揭示了位于伊兹密尔İstinyePark的Esca餐厅，灵感来自地中海，提供189个座位。餐厅位于伊斯坦布尔最活跃的生活方式和购物目的地之一，项目展现了这座城市充满活力和多元化的精神。地中海文化的核心元素——社交性与简约的优雅——通过空间叙事呈现，采用石材和木材等触感原始材料。

URBANJOBS, the multidisciplinary design studio celebrated for its material-driven approach to interiors, has revealed Esca, a 189-seat Mediterranean-inspired restaurant at İstinyePark in İzmir. Situated within one of Istanbul’s most vibrant lifestyle and shopping destinations, the project embodies the city’s lively and diverse spirit. Central elements of Mediterranean culture – conviviality and the elegance of simplicity – are expressed through a spatial narrative that employs tactile raw materials such as stone and wood.

Esca餐厅秉承简约和真诚的理念，邀请客人体验围绕季节性食材设计的菜单。这一理念也在餐厅的定制化内部设计中得到了体现，餐厅氛围的优雅与温暖与从头到尾的烹饪之旅相得益彰。米其林星级主厨Osman Sezener凭借他丰富的经验，精心烹制的菜肴庆祝地方特色和季节性，这一愿景直接影响了餐厅的概念。菜品与空间共同体现了新鲜、克制和强烈的地方感。

Rooted in a philosophy of simplicity and honesty, Esca invites guests to experience a menu centred around seasonal ingredients. This ethos is mirrored in the restaurant’s bespoke interiors, where an atmosphere of elegance and warmth harmonises with the culinary journey from start to finish. Michelin- starred Head Chef Osman Sezener draws on his extensive experience to craft dishes that celebrate locality and seasonality, a vision that directly informs the restaurant’s concept. Together, the menu and space embody freshness, restraint and a strong sense of place.

Esca餐厅的布局分为四个不同区域：私人餐厅、酒吧座位、露台和户外空间。客人通过一个封闭的挡风墙进入，直接进入主厅。从那里，流线通过中心酒吧——横跨两层——再进入私人餐厅区域。

Esca unfolds across four distinct areas: a private dining room, bar seating, a terrace and an outdoor space. Guests enter through an enclosed windbreak, which opens directly into the main hall. From there, circulation flows through the central bar—spread across two levels—before arriving at the private dining area.

餐厅的外立面与购物中心的建筑风格互动，而伊兹密尔特有的放松和海滨氛围启发了设计，帮助餐厅在商业环境中脱颖而出。使用自然材料，创造开放感并让空间充满光线，Esca与周围环境形成了强烈的联系。

The restaurant’s façade interacts with the architectural style of the mall, while the charm of İzmir – characterised by a relaxed, coastal feel – inspired the design, allowing the restaurant to stand out beyond its commercial environment. Using natural materials, creating a sense of openness and flooding the space with light, Esca forms a strong connection with its surroundings.

URBANJOBS在一个壳体状态的空间中进行了设计，原始布局低效且不规则。工作室将这一挑战视为重新配置空间和调整比例的机会，转化这些限制条件为一个协调的平面图，其中技术区域（如主餐厅和服务功能）无缝融合。尽管从复杂的起点开始，最终的布局既实用又流畅。特别关注了地面过渡、整合遮阳和围合策略，概念上模糊了内外之间的边界，确保了全年客人的舒适感。

URBANJOBS was provided with the space in a shell-and-core condition, featuring an inefficient and irregular layout. The studio viewed this challenge as an opportunity to introduce spatial reconfiguration and proportional adjustment, transforming these constraints into a coherent plan where technical areas, such as the main dining hall and service functions, coexist seamlessly. Despite its complex starting point, the final layout feels both functional and fluid. Considerable attention was paid to flooring transitions, integrated shading and enclosure strategies that conceptually blur the boundaries between inside and outside, ensuring guest comfort throughout the year.

以露台空间为中心，Esca的布局融入了私人室内餐厅，既能感受到户外的氛围，又拥有室内的魅力。露台是半覆盖的，设计感受更像是室内的延伸，而非典型的暴露式户外就餐区。在空间中移动，客人从封闭的室内入口和私人餐厅区域过渡到开阔的露台，这里带来了室内沙龙的感觉，令人惊讶地颠覆了常规。

Primarily centred around a terrace space, which functions as the main dining hall, Esca’s layout incorporates a private indoor dining area, evoking the feeling of being outdoors while still offering the charm of an interior. The terrace is semi-covered and designed to feel like an extension of the interior, rather than a typical, exposed outdoor dining area. Moving through the space, visitors transition from the enclosed indoor entry and private dining section to the expansive terrace, which offers the sensation of an indoor salon as a surprising inversion. With 360-degree access, the central bar creates a lively and engaging experience for guests.

客人通过室内进入，看到中央酒吧，酒吧延伸至露台。酒吧位于餐厅的中心，为客人创造了一个动态的焦点，提供360度通行，并且其周围有双层地面设计。不同区域之间的视野被精心层次化，确保了室内与室外之间的持续对话。

Guests enter through the interior, with a view of the central bar, which flows onto the terrace. Creating a dynamic focal point for guests, the bar sits at the centre of the restaurant, offering 360-degree access and dual-level flooring around its circumference. Views are carefully layered between areas, ensuring a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior.

餐厅的色调灵感来源于地中海人民的热情和当地的植物，使用互补的自然土色调、石色和温暖的木色，稳固空间感。木材和灰泥饰面帮助软化氛围，使露台呈现室内餐厅的感觉，而大理石等奢华材料和精致表面则增强了用餐体验。

Esca’s colour palette takes inspiration from the welcoming spirit of Mediterranean people and the local flora, using complementary natural, earthy tones, stone hues and warm wood shades that anchor the space. Wood and plaster finishes help soften the atmosphere and give the terrace an indoor dining room feel, while luxurious materials and refined surfaces, such as marble, enhance the dining experience.

自然光照射露台，全天候将食客带到地中海，而多层次的人工照明则融合于空间内，在晚餐时段增加温暖和亲密感。定制的照明解决方案也被应用到酒吧和餐厅区域，强调不同材料的质感，并在一天的不同时间创造独特的氛围。

Natural light floods the terrace throughout the day, transporting diners to the Mediterranean, while layers of additional artificial lighting are integrated into the space to add warmth and intimacy during the evening service. Custom lighting solutions are also incorporated into the bar and dining areas to emphasise various material textures and create distinctive moods at different times of day.

餐厅为客人提供完全定制的用餐体验，餐台、座位区和照明都经过单独设计。每一个元素都专门为空间打造，与餐厅的地中海概念相一致。在整个项目中，URBANJOBS通过当地的土耳其供应商网络精心挑选材料，以最小化设计的环境影响。最后，URBANJOBS通过细致的艺术和造型策划增强了地中海的氛围。装饰元素保持到最小限度，让材料性和空间设计成为焦点。

The restaurant offers guests a fully bespoke dining experience, with serving counters, seating areas and lighting all individually designed. Each element has been crafted specifically for the space, aligning with the restaurant’s Mediterranean concept. Throughout the project, URBANJOBS carefully sourced materials from its local network of Turkish suppliers to minimise the environmental impact of the design. For the finishing touches, URBANJOBS introduced a subtle curation of art and styling to enhance the Mediterranean ambience. Decorative elements have been kept to a minimum, allowing the materiality and spatial design to take centre stage.

在反思Esca设计过程时，URBANJOBS的创始人Murat Dede表示：“通常，我们喜欢并行开发品牌的身份和内部设计，让彼此相互启发。但在Esca项目中，室内设计先行。我们首先塑造了光线、质感和材料的氛围，基于这些，Cansu Merdamert从中提炼出了品牌的身份——包括颜色调色板、标志甚至菜单设计。这样，图形语言就从空间本身诞生，仿佛餐厅的性格已经在建筑中等待着被揭示。”

Reflecting on the design process for Esca, Murat Dede, Founder of URBANJOBS, says: “Normally, we enjoy developing a brand’s identity and interiors side by side, letting each inform the other. With Esca, the interior came first. We began by shaping an atmosphere of light, texture and materiality and from this, Cansu Merdamert drew out the brand identity – its colour palette, logo and even the menu design. In this way, the graphic language was born from the space itself, as though the restaurant’s character was already present in the architecture, waiting to be revealed.”

尽管Esca深深扎根于伊兹密尔，但其空间和概念框架也有可能被调整应用到其他环境中。URBANJOBS为餐厅空间设计量身定制的方式，确保未来的分支能够灵活适应。通过Esca，URBANJOBS不仅创造了一家餐厅，更打造了一个融合了美食、建筑和氛围的无缝空间，捕捉了伊兹密尔的精神，同时呈现了一个能够超越本地环境的设计模型。通过将项目植根于真诚的材料、光线和社交氛围，工作室设计了一个既永恒又现代、既亲密又宽敞的空间。Esca不仅是对地方的庆祝，也是设计如何将用餐体验提升到真正难忘的水平的提醒。

Whilst Esca is rooted in İzmir, its spatial and conceptual framework has the potential to be adapted for further contexts. URBANJOBS’ bespoke approach to designing restaurant spaces allows for flexibility in future branches. With Esca, URBANJOBS has created more than just a restaurant: it is a seamless blend of cuisine, architecture and atmosphere that captures İzmir’s spirit while presen`ng a model that can extend well beyond its local environment. By grounding the project in honest materials, light and conviviality, the studio has designed a space that feels `meless yet modern, in`mate yet spacious. Esca stands both as a celebra`on of place and a reminder of how design can elevate the dining experience into something truly memorable.
