前言＃
待最後一個觀眾進場，
出入口飄蕩的黑色絨布順而落下。
安靜舞台上頓時充滿張力，一切蓄勢待發！
Preface#
Entering of the last audience, down fall of the black velvet curtain.
Tension suddenly pours into the quiet stage.
It’s showtime.

上傾斜天花、下斜櫛比鱗次的桌椅，
形成一幅透視畫
向內凝聚視覺，向外開展氣勢
佈景以溫潤的咖啡、乳色為肌底，
在工筆上黑色筆觸妝點，定調風格，
四周擺放的古典形式的道具，或啟或閉，
暗示著即將開場的故事。
頂端投射燈聚焦著即將演出的姿態，
自信昂然的四肢，散發著圓融優雅氣息。
當音樂奏下，
一場魔幻寫實的戲劇正要開演……
Tilted ceiling, scaled table and chair wave into a perspective drawing.
Focusing inward while expanding the momentum outward.
The setup in brown and cream color tone accompanied by black embellishing.
Classical props placed around hinting the story to be told.
The spotlight projecting on the show waiting to happen.
Confident and elegant actors await to get on this magical but real stage as the music starts.

位於台北表演藝術中心七樓的ACME，為一家從早上即開始供餐的餐酒館。室內佔地100坪，入口由室內兩側進入，室外200坪為餐廳專屬腹地。空間設計團隊Jsc Studio接獲此委託，經實地考察後，了解有兩大挑戰：一是館內天地壁不可更動，二是建築師雷姆．庫哈斯（Rem Koolhaas）所設計的室內，其實驗風格強烈；加上業主希望呈現安靜、溫暖且時尚成熟的商業空間；於是，Jsc Studio計畫在建築師的風格框架下，結合現場元素，更藉由色調及家具造型，柔化原本硬派冷調的空間基調。
ACME is a bistro begins to serve food since morning which locates on the 7th floor of Taipei Performing Arts Center. The indoor space of ACME is around 3,600 sqft which can be entered from two ends; while there are 7,200 sqft of outdoor space. Jsc Studio was commissioned to design this bistro and found there were two major challenges: 1. No alternation is allowed on ceiling, floor, and walls. 2. The original interior design by architect, Rem Koolhaas is rather strong and bold in style while the bistro owner wished to have a quiet, greeting, fashioned, and sophisticated business space. Hence, Jsc Studio planned to soften the hardcore space tone with colors and modeling of furniture, combining the elements at the scene within the framework of interior design by the architect.

迎合場域的功能性，此空間以「劇場」為概念。搭配原本上斜的屋頂，桌椅由內而外從高至矮安排，打造出如傾斜式舞台的透視效果，創造對外的擴大氣勢，及對內凝聚視覺的效果；桌椅高中低的的規劃，亦讓各區用餐者無障礙享受大片窗景。此外，為讓室內亮度降低，營造用餐喝酒的氣氛，設計師刻意刪除部分天花板上方的原本燈光，保留少數錯落安置，猶如舞台投射燈，僅聚焦在空間吧台及桌面，創造視覺亮點。
The concept of this space is set as “theater” to echo with the function of this building. The height arrangement on tables and chairs complies with the tilted ceiling – to create a perspective effect as on the stage. Focusing inward while expanding the momentum outward. Tables and chairs in different heights also allow customers to enjoy the window views without obstacles. In addition, the designers removed parts of original lights on the ceiling to dim the brightness and create the ambience for dining and drinking. Only few lights were kept as the spotlights on stage which only focus on the bar and tables to make visual highlights.

整體空間規劃為內外用餐座位區、吧台區、商品展示區及後場。兩側入口以黑色絨布及一邊石材櫃體元素，打造了華麗的劇院風格。區域劃分部分，設計師善用物件量體做為區隔：一如入口的石材櫃體及卡座的靠背木座，也可作為兩交界的起承中繼站；後方則以酒櫃及鏡櫃劃分出前後場。
The space setup includes indoor and outdoor dining, bar, product showcase areas, and back of house. The entrances on both ends are decorated with black velvet and stone-built selves to create a luxurious theater style. Designers use volume objects for zoning, such as the stone-built selves and wooden chair back in the booth are used as the pivot for connected areas; the liquor and mirror cabinets are used to separate front and back of house.

風格形式部分，設計師的靈感是來自那部通達11樓的橘黑電梯，從而聯想到工業時代機器的巨型冷調，企圖去融合且柔化此塊狀元素，使鋪成出溫暖優雅的氛圍。以家具化的量體道具作為融合的手法，亦呼應「劇場」概念：座位區旁顯眼的橘黑箱型，一如舞台上的衣櫃道具，作為品牌延伸產品的展示檯面；原梯形木座上置倒三角金屬的吧檯面，創造異材質結合的奢華美感；隔開後場媒介的，則以古典造型、現代簡約線條的鏡櫃及滑動門片作為分隔線。此外，企圖柔和原本實驗冷調的基調，設計師更加入圓形立燈、不規則圓潤桌面，使用餐空間更為溫暖圓潤，其一桌腳更以波浪造型呈現，與玻璃帷幕相呼應。
The designers were inspired by the orange and black elevator straight to 11th floor and thought of the giant and cool tone of industrial age. They attempt to soften the bulk element and bring out the welcoming vibe. The volume props used as the furniture is one way to infuse the concept of theater here. The highlighted orange and black box next to seating area is the metaphor for closet – serves as the brand product exhibition table. The revered triangle bar surface is set against the trapezoid wood structure, creating the luxurious beauty of heterogeneously combined materials. Classical but modern mirror cabinet and sliding doors serve as the dividing line of front and back house. Furthermore, designers use round shaped floor lamps and irregular but smooth tables to neutralize the hardcore base tone which make the dining area more welcoming. The wave-shaped table bases also echo with the glass curtain.

色彩規劃上，設計師除採用原空間木色外，以及個性強烈的黑與橘，亦使用了橘色互補的藍，如同一道室外帶入的光，與窗外的藍天相輝映，。大片面積部分，採用比空間本色深一級的木色，更加入乳色及灰相似色調，提升層次感及整體成熟溫潤氣氛；黑色主力作為空間的線條框架，增添其古典性：不論是吊燈的九十度橫豎，還是桌椅腳、酒櫃的線性使用，同時也能讓黑色與其他淺色視覺互動，產生桌面或酒櫃框架浮出的前衛錯視感。鮮明活潑的橘藍對比色部分，除展示櫃的橘色塊，更值得一提的是藍色的使用；吧台下方踢腳使用了較淺明亮的帶狀藍色，點亮空間，同時也具場地穩定功能；酒櫃採用的藍色玻璃，夜晚看來猶如兩盞氣氛方塊燈，神秘時尚又極具未來感。
The designer used the wooden color tone, black and orange, as well as the complementary color of orange – blue, as a light from the blue sky stretching indoor. Most of the areas are covered with the wooden tone a bit deeper than the original interior design. Cream and grey color tones are used to elevate the layers and the overall sophistication. Color black serves as the lines of frames in the space for a more classical vibe. The right-angled chandelier, legs of tables and chairs, and the liquor cabinets all demonstrate the interaction of black and other bright colors, generating the optical illusion of avant garde. The contrast colors of orange and blue can be seen on the exhibition selves and the skirting board under the bar which not only highlights but also stabilizes the space. The blue glasses used on the liquor cabinet looks like two light blocks at nights bring out a mysterious and future vibe.
