Terracotta brick and stucco create rustic aesthetic in Mexican restaurant Loqui

Wick 建筑设计事务所使用“可以在建筑工地上找到”的材料，对这家位于洛杉矶市中心的墨西哥餐馆进行了装饰。

Loqui餐厅坐落于艺术区的居民区，餐厅占据了一栋四层混凝土大楼的一部分底层，该大楼被改建为办公、餐厅和零售空间。

Wick Architecture & Design chose materials "that could be found on a construction site" to decorate this Mexican restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles.
Located in the Art District neighbourhood, Loqui occupies part of the ground floor inside a four-storey concrete building that is being converted into office, restaurant and retail space.



当地Wick建筑设计事务所联合LAND事务所完成了这座占地1346平方英尺（125平方米）墨西哥快餐厅的装修。这里是Loqui餐厅的第二家分店。

根据该设计工作室的说法，这个项目极大地提升了其品牌地位。

Local studio Wick Architecture & Design worked with LAND Design Studio to complete the 1,346 square foot (125 square metres) taqueria, which is the Loqui eatery's second location in LA.
The project provided an opportunity for the business to elevate its brand, according to the design studio.



Wick建筑设计事务所主设计师David Wick表示：“首家位于卡尔弗城的店面拥有非常‘流行’的空间，因此，业主向我们提出了分店的设计想法，它们渴望我们的设计更加大胆。”

“首家店面占尽了天时地利，经营良好。新店也抓住了业务的本质，这为Loqui餐厅提供了很好的美学品牌。”

"The first location in Culver City has always been a very 'mom and pop' style space, so the owners approached us about designing a second location that would be more forward in terms of executing a concept," said Wick Architecture & Design principal David Wick.
"The original location has earned a lot of street credit, but the new location captures the essence of the business and provides Loqui with an aesthetic branding."



翻修期间留下的一些原始特征和设备，例如混凝土地板和天花板以及暴露的管道。其他诸如排气管道和电气管道被移除或重新布线，并隐藏在新建造的墙壁后面。

团队改造原先的空间后，添加了简单的材料，尊重墨西哥设计美学。

该事务所表示：“设计团队开始了一项计划，通过精心雕琢来复制典型的手工墨西哥结构的一些材料和视觉元素。”

“我们想建造一些不会被‘过度装饰或过度加工’的乡土建筑，因此我们选择的材料在建筑工地上都可以找到，例如红砖、染色橡木、橄榄灰泥，和帕特钢。”

Some original features and mechanics, including the concrete floors and ceilings and exposed plumbing, were left during the renovation. Others such as exhaust ductwork and electrical conduit were removed or rerouted and hidden behind newly constructed walls.
After the team stripped back the space, it added in simple materials that pay homage to Mexican design aesthetics.
"With an outer shell carefully carved out, the design team embarked on a plan to replicate some of the materials and visual elements of typical handcrafted Mexican structures," it said.
"The focus was on building something rustic that wasn't 'overthought or overwrought', resulting in material selections that could be found on a construction site, including terracotta brick, stained oak, olive stucco, and patinated steel."



餐厅后方的室外座位露台为其主入口。这里使用了橡木板、金属板，以及红砖。

大门、座位区墙壁和厨房柜台前都是淡红色的砖块。它们排列成交替的垂直和水平铺设部分。

An outdoor seating patio located at the restaurant's rear serves as its main entrance. Oak panels and patinated metal front the building's facade and the terracotta bricks used throughout the design are introduced here.
The pale red bricks front the entry gates, seating area walls and kitchen counter. They are arranged in alternating vertically and horizontally laid sections.



洗手间走廊的墙壁，使用了橄榄绿色的灰泥，这进一步增加乡村风格的外观，而厨房墙壁上覆盖白色瓷砖与蓝色装饰。

室内的家具有凳子、架子、台面、展位座椅、盆栽植物和半锥形状的FOLK Abigail灯具。

Olive-green stucco covers the walls of the restroom hallway to further add to the rustic look, while white tiles detailed with blue trim cover the kitchen walls.
Furnishings include stools, shelves, countertops and booth seating made of wood, potted plants and semi-recessed cone shaped light fixtures by FOLK Abigail.



洛杉矶的其他餐馆还有Unltd设计的摩洛哥和土耳其风格的餐厅，以及当地设计师Jon和Maša Kleinhample设计的一家配有木架的乡村餐馆。
