Gumbuya是一个澳大利亚土著语中的单词，特指白天是咖啡馆、晚上是餐厅的聚会空间，当地人热衷于聚会和派对，无论是晨间的咖啡还是晚间的家庭聚会，都能让他们聚集在一起，因此设计一个能满足这种需求的空间是十分必要的。

Gumbuya: An Aboriginal word for Meeting Place is a cafe by day and restaurant by night for a local crowd that love to gather whether it be for a morning coffee or a night out with the family.

设计任务 | The brief

Gumbuya位于悉尼南部一个小郡的郊区，致力于为当地人提供一个聚会场所，以便他们打发时光。基地坐落于一个相对较新的多住宅区域内，当地人迫切希望有一个可以随时前往的新的休闲娱乐场所。为了响应客户的要求，设计团队将其打造为了一个温暖质朴的咖啡馆兼餐厅空间，随时欢迎人们入内一探究竟。在这里，无论是团体还是个人，都可以坐在入口处的大型公共餐桌边交流，也可以坐在软垫座椅或是窗边座椅上喝着晨间的咖啡或是晚间的葡萄酒，度过一段轻松美好的时光。

Gumbuya, a meeting place for locals in a small Shire suburb South of Sydney needed to be a place that could transition from day to night. At the base of a relatively new multi-residential building, the locals were desperate for a new haunt where they could gather anytime of day. The client was after a space that felt warm, inviting and unpretentious. A place where groups or individuals can meet at the large communal table that greets you upon entry or at the soft banquette or casual window seating, where you can sit back and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine with your evening dinner.

设计方案 | The solutions

考虑到客户的要求和项目基地的位置，设计团队将周边自然环境的纹理和颜色融入进室内设计中。空间尽可能追求色调的简洁性，选择了碎石铺就而成的地板、黄檀木的餐桌和吧台、以及绿色的灰泥抹面，正立面和收银处采用浅蓝色釉面瓷砖作为饰面，当地的干花干草组成大面积的天花板装饰，有机地悬挂在公共餐桌的上方，共同营造出一种极具质感的温暖的用餐氛围。

Considering the brief and location we decided on reflecting the surrounding textures and colours of the Shire’s nature reserve. Combining a minimal palette of materials which includes the broken stone flooring, pale blue glazed clay tiles running along the front facade and bar counter, blackwood timber tables and cladding, muted green plaster on the walls and a large canopy of dried natives hanging organically over the communal table come together in creating a textured and warm setting.
