咪咪、奥莉娅与瓦咖啡丨加拿大丨Ste. Marie Art and Design

在市中心的核心地带，Ste Marie设计了一系列共三处接待空间，仿佛一部长片电影中的场景次第展开。这处名为 Olia & Mimi 的项目坐落于一座新建住宅楼的底部，受Corso 32集团主厨 Daniel Costa委托打造，几处空间虽氛围各异，却贯穿着同样的自在、愉悦与仪式感。住户可通过内部私属入口直接进入，而公众则经由临街入口步入其间。每处空间对应着一天中不同的时段与互动形式，从清晨的意式浓缩，到夜晚的正式用餐，再到深夜的酒廊小憩。这些空间既服务于公共生活，也兼顾住户的私密需求，通过私属与临街两种入口相互连通，将建筑的底层转化为一个文化与社交的界面——既是日常居所的延伸，本身也成为街区的一处目的地。

In the heart of the city’s central core, Ste Marie has designed a sequence of three hospitality venues that unfold like scenes in a day-long film. Tucked into the base of a new residential tower, Olia & Mimi, commissioned by Corso 32 Group’s chef, Daniel Costa, offer distinct atmospheres linked by a shared spirit of ease, pleasure, and ritual. Residents can enter directly through a private internal access point, while the public is welcomed via street-facing entrances. Each space is programmed for different times of day and types of interaction, ranging from morning espresso to evening dining and late-night lounge use. Designed for both public life and resident intimacy, the venues connect via private and street-facing entries, turning the ground floor into a cultural and social threshold—an everyday extension of home, and a neighborhood destination in its own right.

Olia呈现的是更为舒缓的节奏与温暖的色调，适合人们在悠长的夜晚围坐交谈，佐以一份简约而应季的菜单，其灵感源自意大利深厚的烹饪传统。这里被构想为一处令人流连的所在，唤起私密会所般的精致氛围。空间内设有定制的葡萄牙胡桃木餐桌、柔和的奶油色皮革长椅、光润的奶油色大理石，以及高光赤陶色漆面柜体，环绕着一座背光发光的波纹玻璃吧台。

Olia introduces a slower tempo and warmer palette, supporting extended evenings and shared conversation over a simple, seasonal menu inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Italy. Designed as a place to linger, evoking the refined intimacy of a private members’ club, the space is composed of custom Portuguese walnut tables and supple ecru leather benches, polished creamy marble, and high-gloss tawny-toned lacquered cabinetry around a glowing backlit fluted glass bar.

光线以一组扩散光线的超大定制吊灯为核心，环境光从薄纱窗帘透入的日光，渐变至柔和如黄油般的暖黄光晕。当空间步入暮色，光线轻抚过光洁的表面与静谧的角落，不着痕迹地微妙调节着整体氛围。雕塑感的重点照明与定制的艺术品，为空间增添了色彩、肌理与韵律的跃动，丰富了其层层递进的构成，也助力空间从白日的活力向夜晚的宁静自然过渡。

Anchored by diffused oversized custom pendant lights, ambient light shifts from daylight filtered through sheer drapery to a soft, buttery yellow ambient glow. As the room settles into dusk, light grazes across polished surfaces and quiet corners to subtly adjust the mood without interruption. Sculptural accent lighting and custom artwork add pops of colour, texture, and rhythm to contribute to the space’s layered composition, and to support its gradual transition from daytime vibrancy to evening calm.

Mimi 将这一叙事延伸至更深的夜晚，其环境围绕电影元素与动感节奏而构建。色调融合了深棕、亮红、琥珀色调、罗索鲁比诺大理石以及镀铬细节，而定制的焦橙色天鹅绒沙发——令人联想到1960年代的下沉式休息区——与整片的瘤纹胡桃木饰面板，共同勾勒出空间的轮廓。

Mimi extends the sequence into the later hours with an environment structured around cinematic references and an up-tempo vibe. The palette combines deep browns, glossy reds, amber tones, Rosso Rubino marble, and chrome detailing, while custom burnt orange velvet sofas, reminiscent of 1960s sunken lounges, and monolithic burled walnut panels, line the space.

灯光设计以重复出现的大型胶囊形吊灯为核心，在整个空间营造出持续而柔和的光晕。艺术品致敬着意大利迪斯科与经典电影，L-Acoustics 音响系统则为空间注入精心编排的背景音乐，涵盖复古灵魂乐、爵士、深邃迪斯科，主厨 Daniel 有时也会即兴献上一段演出。

The lighting program, anchored by a repetition of large capsule pendants, produces a consistent low glow across the space. Artwork nods to Italo disco and iconic cinema, while the L-Acoustics system fills the room with a curated soundtrack of vintage soul, jazz, deep disco, and sometimes features Chef Daniel stepping in for an impromptu set.

客人们在深夜悠然到访，在暖光穹顶下啜饮鸡尾酒，随着夜色渐深，渐渐融入空间的节奏之中。鸡尾酒与小吃菜单延续至深夜，使得这一空间在同一片屋檐下，兼具酒廊、非正式演出场所与深夜酒吧的功能。

Guests drift in late, sipping cocktails under the canopy of warm light, and settle into the rhythm of the room as night unfolds. The cocktail and snack menus extend into the night, allowing the space to operate as a lounge, informal performance setting, and after-hours bar within a single footprint.

Olia 与 Mimi共同构成了一段连续的叙事——一组空间的演进，映照着并回应着时间、情绪与动态的变化。这三处空间旨在跟随一日之内的节奏而流转，鼓励人们在不同状态间自如过渡：从短暂的相遇，到悠长的餐叙；从安静的角落，到深夜的欢聚。它们并非固定不变的终点，而是日常生活的延伸，各自拥有独特的节奏，将待客之道融入建筑的日常习惯与街区的脉动之中。

Together, Olia and Mimi form a continuous narrative—a progression of spaces that reflect and respond to time, mood, and movement. Designed to shift with the rhythm of the day, the trio encourages fluid transitions: from quick encounters to lingering meals, from quiet corners to late-night gatherings. Rather than fixed destinations, these venues operate as extensions of daily life, each with a distinct tempo, folding hospitality into the habits of a building and the tempo of the street.
