Esi Burger餐厅是一家温馨舒适的餐厅，坐落于伊朗德黑兰的Sohrevardi街上，距离作为城市集散空间的Palizi广场非常近。

在建筑事务所Admun Studio接手本项目的设计前，这里曾是一个著名的连锁餐厅的分店，然而，尽管项目基地位于一个热闹繁荣的街区内，但其客流量却不甚理想，因此，在设计前，建筑事务所Admun Studio需要对周边环境进行调研，搞清楚客流量欠佳的原因。建筑师们发现基地附近的果汁饮品店和Palizi广场周边的小餐馆们每天都能吸引来自德黑兰不同地区的人们，虽然这些小店们没有足够的服务设施（甚至有些店连休息空间都没有），但它们的顾客们仍旧感到舒适和满足。这也说明了便利设施并不是这片区域的餐饮空间的重点，所以，在这个广场环境中，应该有更加重要的设计因素，这引起了设计团队的兴趣。或许，这个广场能够提供给人们一些其他的东西，比如自由、选择和社会关系等。他们希望能够自主选择希望与之交往的人，并与其他人分享社交活动的乐趣。

Before Admun Studio was commissioned to design this project the place had been used as a branch of quite a well-known chain restaurant and in spite of being in a crowded neighborhood it could not attract enough customers and this made us wonder what was going on in nearby juice shops and small restaurants surrounding Palizi square that attracted people from different parts of Tehran while these places did not provide considerable amenities (not even sitting spaces) and yet their customers looked satisfied and content. Seemed like lack of amenities did not matter to their customers so there should exist something more important on this square and it was very interesting for the design team. Probably people can satisfy one of their other needs on this square, need for freedom, choice, and social relationships. They like to be free of musts and must nots and share the joy and excitement of a social activity with other human beings.

从这个角度来考虑，该基地有一个重要特点，那就是这个街区自带的文化。因此，建筑师决定以城市和社区为基础，作为人们生活和亚文化的背景，创建一个与城市、文化、功能和公共社交活动相关联的空间。实现这一目标的途经是采用一种非常规的设计模式来设计餐厅，同时通过一系列子功能平台来创造一个完整的空间。

Taking into consideration that this neighborhood without its culture is not desirable for people was an important fact. Therefore, the design was based on the city and neighborhood as the context of people’s presence and subcultures, and the team decided to create an interconnected space inspired from the city, culture, function and public social events. The best solution to achieve this goal was to go beyond the regular design patterns of restaurants and create an integrated space using platforms forming various sub-functions.
