這家位於亞特蘭大的法國餐廳兼酒吧將石頭、木製品和藍色流行樂融爲一體，設計團隊旨在喚起廚師在普羅旺斯的童年回憶。當地建築和設計工作室爲大廚Nick Leahy設計了AIX餐廳和Tin Tin葡萄酒吧，Nick在法國南部普羅旺斯地區艾克斯長大。

Stone, woodwork and pops of blue are teamed together inside this French restaurant and bar in Atlanta, which local practice AI3 designed to evoke the chef’s childhood in Provence.The local architecture and design studio designed the AIX restaurant and Tin Tin wine bar for chef Nick Leahy, who grew up in Aix-en-Provence in southern France.

兩個空間共用一間廚房，但在設計上意圖顯然不同——AIX有一種更正式但更質樸的美學，而酒吧則更休閒。

The two share a kitchen but are intended to be distinct from one another in design– AIX has a more formal yet rustic aesthetic, while the wine bar is deliberately more casual.

餐廳擁有彩色木樑，寬木板橡木地板和天然石牆。木材和石膏的瞬間也喚起了一種陳舊的感覺，伴隨着流行的青銅和黃銅，以及蒼白，灰褐色和灰色的色調。

Stained wood beams, wide plank oak wood floors, and a natural stone wall characterise the restaurant. Wood and plaster moments also evoke a timeworn feel, alongside pops of bronze and brass, and pale, taupe and grey tones.

AIX的一個焦點是一個獨立的體積，兩側都有展位，還有一個帶有圓形銷釘的板條珠狀裝置，可以沿着天花板延伸。AI3合夥人Lucy Aiken-Johnson表示：“這個藝術裝置的靈感來自法國的petanque遊戲，用於在視覺上劃分酒吧和餐廳。”“這件作品類似於算盤，木絲繩（球）穿在金屬絲繩上，形成抽象圖案，並進一步利用自然和現代材料的並置。”

A focal point of AIX is a free-standing volume, featuring booths on either side and a slatted beaded installation with round dowels that stretch along to the ceiling.”The art fixture was inspired by the French game of pétanque and was used to visually divides the bar and dining room,” said Lucy Aiken-Johnson, partner at AI3.”The piece resembles an abacus, with wood cochonnets (balls) threaded on wire string creating an abstract pattern, and further utilizing the juxtaposition of natural and modern materials.”

在這個中心體量的後面是一個圓形的酒吧，後面是一面玫瑰金色的鏡子。深藍色皮革吧檯凳提供了座位，與構成地板的黑色、黃色和白色石頭色調形成對比。

Behind this central volume is a rounded bar backed by a rose gold mirror. Navy leather bar stools provide seating and a contrast to the tones of black, yellow and white stone that make up the floor.

Tin Tin葡萄酒吧位於這個酒窖後面，色彩更加豐富，營造出更休閒的氛圍。例如，白色瓷磚地板具有幾何普羅旺斯藍色圖案。頭頂上是一些帶有鉻燈泡的玫瑰色弧形燈具，與隔壁AIX使用的金屬色調相呼應。

Tin Tin wine bar is located behind this cellar and is more colourful to evoke a more casual environment. For example, white tile floors feature a geometric Provencal blue pattern.Overhead are a handful of curved rose gold light fixtures with chrome bulbs, proving a nod to the metallic accents used next door at AIX.
