田间之上 中国湘菜馆丨中国广州丨黑白木设计

《黑暗之光》这座名为“田间之上”的全黑餐厅，是一场关于黑暗与光明的建筑沉思。它位于城市边缘，以最少的材料语言——黑色火山石与黑色橡木，构建出既厚重又温润的纯粹空间。

《The dark light》“Tian jian” is a pitch-black restaurant conceived as an architectural meditation on darkness and light. Sitting on the edge of the city, it uses the most restrained material language—black volcanic stone and black oak—to build a space that feels both weighty and warm, austere yet profoundly pure.

建筑外立面如同沉默的巨石，在白昼中展现着原始的重量感，将城市的喧嚣隔绝在外。

Its façade stands like a silent monolith, revealing a primal heaviness beneath the daylight and shutting the city’s clamor firmly outside.

而内部，则是光影戏剧上演的舞台。高低错落的方窗与十二米长的一线天天窗，将自然光如诗般引入，在深邃的黑色中刻画时间的痕迹。一座黑色旋转楼梯围绕火山石圆柱盘旋而上，以力量与优雅之姿，串联起三层空间。

Inside, however, the stage is set for a theater of light and shadow. Staggered square windows and a twelve - meter linear skylight draw natural light in like poetry, carving traces of time into the profound darkness. A black spiral staircase coils around a volcanic - stone column, rising with equal measures of strength and grace, linking the three floors into a unified spatial journey.

在这里，黑暗赋予建筑情绪，而光，让情绪被看见。

Here, darkness gives the building its emotion, and light, its visibility.

设计师回归建筑的本质，以纯粹的几何体块作为空间语言。光影从不同开口流入，在墙面与地面上勾勒出丰富的形状，使空间的韵律随着昼夜交替而悄然变化。几何不仅是功能的容器，更成为情绪的语法，引领建筑超越物质，进入精神的维度。

The designer returns to the essence of architecture, using pure geometric masses as the language of space. Light enters through carefully placed openings, sketching shifting patterns on walls and floors. As day turns to night, the rhythm of the space subtly changes. Geometry becomes more than a container for function—it becomes the grammar of emotion, allowing architecture to transcend matter and enter the realm of spirit.

二、三楼的VIP包间均设有私密庭院。高墙围合，侧窗引光，风过树动，影随光移，用餐者能在静谧中感知四季流转。这些庭院如同宋代山水画中的留白，或是《阴翳礼赞》中的幽暗美学——光因遮蔽而更具层次，空间因阴影而得以呼吸。它们是设计师笔下的“微观宇宙”，在城市的喧嚣中，为内心开辟出一片宁静。

Private courtyards are placed in the VIP rooms on the second and third floors. Enclosed by tall walls, illuminated by side windows, with shadows moving as wind stirs the trees, diners can feel the seasons passing in silence. These courtyards function like the “blank spaces” in Song-dynasty landscape paintings, or the mysterious aesthetics of In Praise of Shadows—where light gains depth through concealment and space breathes through shadow. They are “micro-cosmoses” crafted by the designer, opening a quiet refuge for the soul amid the noise of the city.

项目特意设计了全黑座椅，以木与皮革制成，融合东方的沉稳与西方的现代精神。造型简洁、线条克制，它们如同安静的注脚，将建筑的秩序延伸至身体的尺度。在设计师看来，“椅子才是建筑学”——当人在椅子上坐下，建筑才真正开始工作。旋转楼梯、几何体块、火山石，是空间的宏大叙事；而椅子，让一切回归至日常的坐、食、谈、思。

The project features all-black chairs made of wood and leather, blending the stillness of the East with the modern spirit of the West. The forms are minimal, the lines restrained; they serve as quiet footnotes extending the order of the architecture to the scale of the human body. For the designer, “A chair is where architecture truly begins”—architecture only starts to work when someone sits. The spiral staircase, the geometric volumes, the volcanic stone—they are the grand narrative of the space. The chair brings everything back to the intimate acts of sitting, eating, talking, thinking.

这虽是一家餐厅，功能、运营与动线皆需高效，但设计师拒绝让其沦为纯粹商业的产物。火山石的粗砺、黑橡木的温润、旋转楼梯的雕塑感、庭院的留白——这些元素共同赋予空间以艺术气质。在这里，商业与艺术不再对立，诗意与现实，在建筑中握手言和。

Though this is a restaurant—where function, operation, and circulation must all run efficiently—the designer refuses to let it become a mere commercial product. The roughness of volcanic stone, the warmth of black oak, the sculptural presence of the spiral staircase, the blankness of the courtyards—together, these elements give the space an artistic temperament. Here, commerce and art are no longer opposites; poetry and pragmatism coexist, shaking hands within the architecture.

当我们走入这个空间，看见旋转楼梯被光照亮，庭院中风吹影动，几何体块在明暗间交替，我们会逐渐懂得：建筑真正表达的，从来不是形式，而是时间。

As we walk into the space—seeing the spiral staircase illuminated, watching shadows drift in the courtyards, witnessing geometric volumes shift between light and dark—we begin to understand: architecture has never been about form, but about time.

光在此有了时间的重量，黑暗在此有了空间的深度。几何、庭院、椅子、商业……所有线索，最终都指向建筑与灵魂相遇的一刻。

Here, light gains the weight of time; darkness gains the depth of space. Geometry, courtyard, chair, commerce—every thread ultimately points to the moment when architecture encounters the soul.

那一刻，时间折叠，建筑，有了生命。

In that moment, time folds, and architecture comes alive.

正如诗中所言：“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它寻找光明。”

As the poem says:“The night gave me its black eyes, and with them, I search for light.”
