Tabula Rasa 2·0餐厅丨印度丨23 Degrees Design Shift

位于海得拉巴繁忙的金融区，Tabula Rasa 2.0以其独特的魅力、充满活力的音乐场景和显眼的视觉设计吸引了众多目光。这片城市绿洲由23 Degrees Design Shift设计，和周围高耸的玻璃外立面形成鲜明对比，为当地的IT人群提供了急需的文化避风港。

In the buzzing financial district of Hyderabad, Tabula Rasa 2.0 makes its presence known through its popular charm, its vibrant music scene and more evidently its remarkable visual identity. This urban oasis, designed by 23 Degrees Design Shift, stands in stark contrast to the vertical glass facades that dominate the area, offering a much-needed cultural respite for the local IT crowd.

客户，一位音乐爱好者，设想了一个既能呼应前身，又敢于突破的空间。设计要求是一个封闭而又开放天空的音乐场地，这一愿景被巧妙地转化为一个中央庭院，成为这座14,770平方英尺餐厅的核心。这个庭院的尺寸经过精心规划，既能作为表演空间，又是餐厅整体设计的焦点。经过反复测试，庭院的尺寸完美适应音乐表演的需求，优化了视听和触觉的迷人体验。

The client, a music enthusiast, envisioned a space that would echo the ethos of its predecessor while pushing boundaries. The brief called for a confined yet open-to-sky music venue, which was thoughtfully translated into a central courtyard that forms the heart of the 14,770-square-foot restaurant. This courtyard, with its meticulously planned dimensions, serves as both a performance space and a focal point around which the rest of the design unfolds. The deliberate dimensions have been tried and tested to function perfectly for music performances, and are optimised for an enchanting audio-visual and tactile experience.

餐厅的入口是一个经过精心设计的门户，打开后呈现出开阔的空间。进入餐厅后，顾客置身于多重体验交织的交汇点。室内外流畅连接，创造了富有层次的空间感，这一点在半开放的酒吧区、封闭的酒吧和露天音乐场地中得以体现。可滑动的玻璃系统模糊了这些区域之间的界限，创造了一个流动的空间体验，使客人能够根据自己的需求自由探索餐厅。

The entrance is a thoughtfully designed portal, opening up into the vastness of the space. Upon entering, patrons find themselves at a crossroads of experiences. The outdoors and indoors flow into each other, creating transcendent pockets which are evident in the semi-open bar area, closed bar, and open-air music venue. Slide-open glazing systems blur the lines between these zones, creating a fluid spatial experience that allows guests to craft their own journey through the restaurant.

Tabula Rasa 2.0的建筑语言是对比的典范。一座分段的斜屋顶仿佛悬浮在坚实的墙体上，创造了重量与轻盈之间的对话。主要结构由混凝土与钢材复合而成，而庭院则采用动态的玻璃纤维屋顶系统，可根据白天、夜晚及季节的变化进行调节。最引人注目的是一系列的拱形桥架，它们形成了一个阳台座位区，轻松地将如厕所等功能性空间融入设计叙事之中。餐厅的布局赋予了这个地方开放的特点，成为了一个充满新鲜和丰富体验的场所。

The architectural language of Tabula Rasa 2.0 is a study in contrasts. A segmented sloped roof appears to float above solid walls, creating a dialogue between weight and lightness. The main structure boasts a composite design of concrete and steel, while the courtyard features a dynamic fibreglass roofing system that adapts to day, night, and seasonal changes. Perhaps most striking is the series of jack arches that form a veranda seating area, effortlessly integrating functional spaces like toilets into the design narrative. The layout of the restaurant lends the place a character of openness, a place meant for new and enriching experiences.

Tabula Rasa 2.0的照明设计与景观绿化进一步提升了其建筑叙事，营造出形式与功能的奇妙结合。战略性地设置的灯光突出了结构元素，温暖的光线使空间在白昼转为夜晚时发生变化。郁郁葱葱的绿植环绕着庭院和户外区域，提供自然的降温作用，保持餐厅内舒适的小气候。这些精心设计的照明与绿化不仅提升了美学魅力，也与项目的设计理念紧密契合。

The lighting design and landscaping of Tabula Rasa 2.0 further enhance its architectural narrative, creating a curious blend of form and function. Strategically placed under-nosing lighting accentuates the structural elements, casting a warm glow that transforms the space as day turns to night. Lush greenery surrounds the courtyard and outdoor areas, providing natural cooling and maintaining a comfortable microclimate within the restaurant. This thoughtful integration of lighting and landscaping not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also aligns with the project’s ethos.

尽管餐厅以其活力与能量为主导，但它通过材料的选择巧妙地创造了一个宁静的庇护所。材料的色调与质感致敬于项目创造一个经得起时间考验的空间理念。灰色水泥氧化石膏为不同区域提供统一感，既是一个中性的动态画布，又随着时间的推移而“呼吸”与“演变”。粗糙的黑色花岗岩地面为金合欢木家具提供了引人注目的背景，而庭院地面则用拉卡红花岗岩铺设，在自然光下爆发出微妙的色彩。最具标志性的是屋顶悬挂的大型柳条面板，它们的有机形态与空间的线性几何形式形成迷人的对比。这些元素共同塑造了Tabula Rasa的本质，打破了对空间和几何的传统认知，赋予观者一种焕然一新的空间体验。

While the restaurant takes dominance in its spirit and energy, it carves out a quiet retreat through its materiality. The material palette pays homage to the project’s philosophy of creating a space that ages gracefully. Grey cement oxide plaster unifies the various zones, providing a neutral yet dynamic canvas that breathes and evolves over time. Dark floors of rough jet-black granite blocks create a striking backdrop for acacia wood furniture, while the courtyard floor of lakha red granite adds a subtle burst of colour under natural light. The crowning glory is the installation of large wicker panels suspended from the roof, their organic forms offering a captivating contrast to the linear geometry of the space. These elements combine to birth the essence of Tabula Rasa, blurring all preconceived notions of space and geometry and crafting a fresh perception in the eyes of the beholder to breathe in the experience with a certain newness.

餐厅还融入了几个精心设计的可持续细节。斜屋顶为空间提供自然光照，而带百叶窗的黄麻窗帘保护了南向玻璃窗，减少了对人工照明和空调的依赖。滑动玻璃系统促进了空气流通，创新的空气冷却系统利用厨房RO水处理系统的水为75%的座位区域提供冷却。选择少加工的材料，如粗糙的花岗岩地面，不仅增添了餐厅的独特个性，还减少了维护需求，体现了餐厅设计中的高效和有意识设计哲学。

The restaurant incorporates several carefully thought-out, sustainable details. The sloped roof bathes the space in natural light, while louvered jute drapes shield southern glazing from glare, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning. Sliding glazing systems enable cross-ventilation, and an innovative air cooling system powered by kitchen RO plant water serves 75% of the seating area. The choice of less processed materials, like rough granite flooring, not only adds character but also minimises maintenance needs, embodying the restaurant’s philosophy of mindful, efficient design that evolves beautifully with time.

Tabula Rasa 2.0不仅仅是一家餐厅，它是一种感官体验，向其名字致敬——一个空白的画布，客人可以在上面书写属于自己的故事。餐厅在社交媒体上的持续热议也反映在其顾客流量上，意味着它的客流量不断增加。随着太阳落下，音乐升起，这个精心打造的空间发生了变化，提供了一个完美的城市避风港，呼应了海得拉巴充满活力的精神节奏。

Tabula Rasa 2.0 is more than just a restaurant; it’s a sensory experience that honours its namesake – a blank slate upon which patrons can write their own stories.The growing social media buzz of the restaurant is also reflected in its patronage, translating into its ever-growing footfall. As the sun sets and the music rises, this thoughtfully crafted space transforms, offering a perfect urban escape that resonates with the rhythm of Hyderabad’s vibrant spirit.
