for providing the following description:

这个酒吧位于白俄罗斯明斯克老城中一个阁楼上，设计诚实应对原有材料。充满历史感的砖墙被保留，新吧台也用砖砌。酒吧上方是一个完整的松木构架，上面挂了一连串白炽灯泡。空间中天花较低的区域设置成为座位区域，沙发十分柔软，与坚硬的天花材质共同构成舒适的环境。另外酒吧中的装饰都来自于建筑师的收集，比如老式的花环–从美国来，酒吧凳来自某个德国设计师，椅子来自爱尔兰一个学校，扶手椅来自立陶宛，还有不少物件则是从旧货市场淘来。这个空间最后拥有独特的灵魂：老房的气质，怀旧的灯泡，真实的材料，生活的碎片…….雾气般将你包裹纳入。

This bar in the attic of a newly rebuilt house in Minsk Old Town stands out as an example of honest use of raw materials.  The original brickwork is left bare, the bar counter is executed in the same brick. Two main features organize the space. First, it is a multifunctional structure in pine boards, which spans across the entire space. It has a bar, a lamp, a shelf and a coat rack. Taken together, it highlights the space as an archetypal attic. Second, it is a soft seating structure occupying an otherwise unusable space found under a low ceiling. The dividing elements “mirror” the sloped ceiling, so the space becomes complete. Smaller objects of the interior, new or old, have been carefully collected by architects from different sources. The old-fashioned garland comes from USA, the bar stools are from brilliant German designers, old chairs come from a school in Ireland, a number of armchairs bought in Lithuania and renovated date back to the soviet period, other objects come from Swedish flea markets.

Here the architects’ prime concern has been to create a certain atmosphere, no wonder the place has acquired a unique soul.

“Reminiscences of childhood, inspiration and throes of creation, the smell of an old wooden house,  mirrors reflecting fragments of our life, the truth of a character and a material, a nostalgia for the gone incandescent light bulb, paying a due tribute to these days of our life”  –  this is what we thought of and felt while designing this bar.
