Damascus・Contemporary Interpretation

A contemporary space that refines traditional vocabulary. Retain the logic of the courtyard, the full-height openings of the grand hall, and the seating arrangements based on floor level differences. In terms of materials, only a black and white striped stone wall and a painted wooden panel are kept as focal points; the rest are plain plaster and stone. The fountain is simplified into a shallow water surface. Avoid: cramming all traditional elements equally into the space, removing the courtyard and only retaining decorative patterns, imitating painted panels with printed patterns, turning the space into an exotic backdrop for a restaurant.

一個把傳統語彙收斂的當代空間。保留中庭、敞廳的全高開口與地坪高差的座次邏輯;材料上只留一道黑白條砌的石牆與一片彩繪木鑲板當作重點,其餘是素面的抹灰與石材。噴泉簡化成一塊淺水面。避免:把所有傳統元素等量塞進空間、拿掉中庭只保留裝飾圖案、用印刷圖案模仿彩繪鑲板、讓空間變成餐廳的異國佈景。
