Small Scale Creates: Enlarging It Would Change Its Nature

A space so small it can be seen at a glance. The total area is less than 40 ping (approx. 132 sqm), the bar has only 8 to 12 seats, plus 3 to 5 booth sets. The bartender behind the bar can see all guests and speak to any of them. Because it's small, lighting, sound volume, and temperature can be precisely controlled, and service density is high. The value of the space comes from its limitations. Avoid: making the space so large it requires zoning management, setting up more than twenty bar seats, making it impossible for the bartender to see some areas, adding standing room to let the number of people get out of control.

一個小到可以一眼看完的空間。總面積不到四十坪,吧台只有八到十二個座位,另外三到五組卡座;調酒師站在吧台後可以看到所有客人,也能跟任何一位說話。因為小,燈光、音量與溫度都能被精準控制,服務的密度也高。空間的價值來自它的限制。避免:把空間做大到需要分區管理、設置超過二十個吧台座位、讓調酒師看不到部分區域、增加站位讓人數失控。
