意大利色彩，PICCOLINA冰淇淋旗舰店-设计风向

Hecker Guthrie为墨尔本的Piccolina冰淇淋品牌创建了一个新的旗舰店。这家新店铺位于史密斯街(Smith Street)的Collingwood一侧，店中翠绿颜色的参与使得空间富有层次感，空气中弥漫着开心果的味道。5米长的铺有森林色意大利方形瓷砖的冰淇淋操作台上展示了Piccolina的20种冰淇淋口味，以及它的旋转特色冰淇淋和四种格兰尼冰糕。

Hecker Guthrie have created a new flagship for Melbourne gelateria, Piccolina. Positioned on the Collingwood side of Smith Street, the new shop is layered with rich accents of emerald green and pistachio, and clad in forest-coloured, square-cut Italian tiles. A sweeping five-metre-long pozetti gelato bench displays Piccolina’s 20 gelato flavours, as well as its rotating specials, and four kinds of granita.

店主Sandra Fonti希望这个空间的设计能够呼应20世纪50年代的意大利南部环境，从色彩设计到冰淇淋店设计，再到家庭烹饪和围绕厨房聚会的想法。店内的绿色以及包装上的红色、白色和绿色标志参考了意大利国旗。

Owner Sandra Fonti wanted the space to echo 1950s Southern Italy—from the colourways through to the theatre of gelato, and the idea of home cooking and gathering around the kitchen. Coats of green are intended to reference the Italian flag, as is Projects of Imagination’s red, white, and green logo and packaging.

绿色的运用也是该空间早期设计的想法。在设计期间，Hecker Guthrie保留了原有的建筑特色，简单的改造出新的空间。当内部砖墙暴露出来时，原有的绿色、奶油色和棕色涂料层被暴露出来，成为整个空间色彩的基础。其他经过修复的包括原有的金属天花板、水磨石地板和石拱门。

The green is also a nod to the building’s earlier occupancy. During the site’s renovation Hecker Guthrie exposed original architectural features, and worked only lightly to shape the new space. When the interior brickwork was exposed, pre-existing layers of paint in shades of green, cream, and brown were uncovered and became the foundation of the overall colour palette. Other restored original features include a pressed metal ceiling, terrazzo floor, and stone archway.

店铺占地250平方米，是原先Piccolina在Hawthorn店面的五倍大，可容纳一个新的更大的厨房。一个长长的酒吧可以俯瞰厨房和糕点厨师，让顾客和冰淇淋爱好者观察冰淇淋和冰淇淋蛋糕的制作过程。

At 250 square metres, it’s about five times the footprint of the original Piccolina outpost in Hawthorn, with room for a new, larger commercial kitchen. A long bar overlooking the kitchen and pastry chefs allows patrons and gelato-enthusiasts to observe gelato and gelato cakes in the making.
