空间站 | 小胖妹儿 minimei 小吃买手店，秦皇岛 | Hi设计

小胖妹儿 minimei 小吃买手店是胖妹面庄新创的品牌。它由一个主理人运营，形态上却是很多个不同品类的小吃店组成的集合。

minimei Snacks Selection Store is a new brand created by Pangmei Noodle House. It is run by a single manager, but in its form, it consists of a cluster of different sorts of snack shops.

我们的设计共分三步：

一，在大屋顶下布置八个“盒子”；二，给每个盒子赋予一种“味道”；三，在负空间中置入有人体尺度的家具。

Our design follows three key steps: firstly, we arranged eight ‘boxes’ under a large roof; secondly, we assigned a distinct ‘vibe’ to each box; thirdly, we placed human-scale furniture in the remaining vacant space.

“一个大屋顶”具有“同一个主理人”、“同一家店”的暗示，而八个独立的、大大小小的盒子分散的布置在屋顶下，又呈现出“大家来集合”的状态。

A shared roof often implies a common proprietor and the dull uniformity of a unified scheme, whereas eight well defined, unevenly sized boxes under the same roof symbolize a will to “bond everything together” without compromising legibility.

空间本身像一个模型，让“小吃集合店”这种全新的业态获得注释，变得直观而易于理解。

This space itself is akin to a prototype allowing a brand-new type of ‘selection store’ to be easily understood and visually intuitive.

下一步，每个盒子即将成为一个独立的小吃品类的档口，于是，我们需要赋予盒子不同的“味道”。

Therefore, each box is meant to be a stall for a specific snack category emanating a particular ‘vibe’.盒子的“味道”来自于表皮的质感。我们刻意的区分了“材料”和“质感”两个概念的边界，让所有的盒子保持着抽象的状态。为了告诉大家这是“质感”而不是“材料”，我们故意做了一些违反材料逻辑的质感表达，比如“精心的模拟斜向45度砌筑的砖墙”，但仔细凝视转角之处则会发现：材料并没有厚度。

The eclectic ‘vibe’ of each box comes from the texture of its surface. We deliberately played with boundaries between concepts of ‘material’ and ‘texture’: to this goal, the boxes are designed to be a blank form, ideally as abstract and malleable as possible. To show what we aim to achieve by highlighting ‘texture’ rather than ‘material’, we intentionally produced a variety of textured effects that defy conventional material logic, such as bricks laid at a 45-degree diagonal to simulate a masonry wall: a closer look at the corners reveals that this is just a veneer lacking thickness. 质感和味道之间的对应是泛化的，这种对应本身就会产生出联想的空间。比如蒸煮的食物是有雾气的金砖，酒水则是有神秘感的黑色釉面砖，烧烤食物是生出铁锈的钢板，蛋烘糕对应大颗粒的水刷石，其中彩色的颗粒甚至是凸出的……

The correspondence between texture and “vibe” is generalized throughout the whole venue, and it itself generates room for imagination. For instance, steamed food is represented by misty gold bricks, beverages by black glazed bricks conveying a sense of mystery, grilled food is symbolized by rusted steel plates, and sponge cakes mimicked by large-grain granitic plaster, complete with colored grains protruding as chunks of candy…. 盒子周围的空间是自然流动的。我们用“最没有存在感”的方式布置了玻璃墙体，划分出店内和店外的区域。

Space around the boxes flows naturally. We arranged glass walls in the least intrusive manner possible to demarcate areas inside and outside the store. 店内所有的家具都固定在地面上，店外的花坛、长凳则像是盒子碎裂产生的小块。家具的出现使空间获得了尺度，也引导顾客做出“即买即走”、“进店堂食”、“板前就餐”的决定。也是在这一瞬间，“盒子”成为了“房子”，抽象的概念游戏转化成了有意味的餐饮空间。

All indoor furniture in the interior is fixed to the ground, while outdoor flower beds and benches resemble granular fragments created by dismantling the boxes. The presence of furniture gives the space a sense of scale and guides customers in making decisions such as “buy to go” “dine in” or “eat at the counter.” At that moment, boxes transmute from raw shapes into houses, and the abstract conceptual toy shape transforms into a meaningful dining space.
