Como is an Italian restaurant in the heart of Yerevan, named after a well-known lake in Northern Italy. This is our bureau's first project in Armenia, and it was important for us to make it memorable and put a pin on the city's restaurant map. Since this is an all-day restaurant, the interior is universal and adaptable to any scenario. Here you can just have a coffee or have breakfast with friends, have lunch with a colleague or have a family dinner.
Como是一家位于埃里温市中心的意大利餐厅，以意大利北部一个著名的湖泊命名。这是我们局在亚美尼亚的第一个项目，对我们来说重要的是让它令人难忘，并在该市的餐厅地图上留下深刻的印象。由于这是一家全日餐厅，因此室内装饰是通用的，可适应任何场景。在这里您可以与朋友喝杯咖啡或吃早餐，与同事共进午餐或享用家庭晚餐。
Our main task was to transport the guests to the atmosphere of Italy, but at the same time to organically fit the interior into the environment. To achieve this, we were inspired by Italian culture and used spatial and visual techniques in the design.
我们的主要任务是将客人带入意大利的氛围，但同时将室内装饰与环境有机地融为一体。为了实现这一目标，我们受到意大利文化的启发，并在设计中使用了空间和视觉技术。
The restaurant is in an elongated room with windows placed only on its short side. It was important for us to make the guests want to sit not only by the windows but also in the far side of the room, evenly filling the whole restaurant. For this purpose, we used our favourite technique - interior in the interior. We divided the space of the hall into 3 main parts and came up with a certain trick for each of them. We imagined the furthest part of the hall as a backyard, the central part as a summer veranda with an open kitchen, and the front part as an open area.
餐厅位于一个细长的房间内，窗户仅位于其短边。对我们来说，重要的是让客人不仅愿意坐在窗边，而且愿意坐在房间的另一边，均匀地充满整个餐厅。为此，我们使用了我们最喜欢的技术——室内装饰。我们将大厅的空间分为三个主要部分，并为每个部分设计了一定的技巧。我们将大厅最远的部分想象为后院，中央部分作为带有开放式厨房的夏季阳台，前面部分作为开放区域。
We decided not to create a reference to an old, shabby Italian street, but to recreate the feeling of luxury of an Italian salon. The interior is filled with beautiful and comfortable furniture, multi-seat tables, and decorations of sculptural screens that look like curtains, while leather and wood dominate the textures. Sculptural screens form interesting accents. One in the first room seems to envelop the wall, another in the far hall frames the sofa seat like a theatre curtain, and the third screen, at the entrance to the bathroom, serves as a sliding door.
我们决定不参考一条古老、破旧的意大利街道，而是重现意大利沙龙的奢华感觉。内部充满了美丽舒适的家具、多座位桌子和看起来像窗帘的雕塑屏风装饰，而皮革和木材在纹理上占主导地位。雕塑屏风形成有趣的口音。第一个房间中的一个似乎包围了墙壁，远处大厅中的另一个将沙发座椅框起来，就像剧院的幕布一样，第三个屏幕位于浴室入口处，用作滑动门。
The wooden ceiling runs through the entire restaurant and unites all of its parts into a single piece. It fulfils not only a decorative function but also hides a huge amount of engineering and communications. We paid a lot of attention to working with light and spent a long time looking for a balance between natural and artificial lighting. With this balance, the atmosphere of the restaurant changes throughout the day. During the day, the space is lit by natural light, while in the evening, it is completely transformed by the change of the lighting.
木质天花板贯穿整个餐厅，将所有部分连成一体。它不仅实现了装饰功能，还隐藏了大量的工程和通信功能。我们非常注重光线的处理，并花了很长时间寻找自然光和人造光之间的平衡。有了这种平衡，餐厅的气氛就会在一天中发生变化。白天，空间被自然光照亮，而到了晚上，空间因灯光的变化而完全改变。
We have been lucky with our clients - they have been actively involved in the process of creating the interior and adding details to it. They ordered fully customised crockery, spent a huge amount of time creating the project playlist and even flew to another country to choose the suiting old brick for the flooring and bar tops. With the spatial and visual techniques we used in this project, we were able to create a space that is both cohesive and multifunctional. A space that makes each of its visitors feel safe and comfortable.
我们很幸运与我们的客户合作——他们积极参与了室内设计和添加细节的过程。他们订购了完全定制的陶器，花费了大量时间创建项目播放列表，甚至飞往另一个国家为地板和酒吧顶部选择合适的旧砖。通过我们在这个项目中使用的空间和视觉技术，我们能够创造一个既有凝聚力又多功能的空间。一个让每个访客都感到安全和舒适的空间。
