hcreates | Black Rock酒吧

Black Rock就是威士忌爱好者的天堂。这个起源于伦敦的品牌，致力于呈现最前沿的风味，让人们以全新方式认识威士忌。它在2016年首次推出一个全新的概念，既将威士忌风味简化为甜美、香料、水果、芬芳、平衡和烟熏这几个类别。

Black Rock is a Whisky lover’s nirvana. Originating from London, Black Rock is all about bringing flavor to the forefront and helping people discover Whisky in a new way. First launched in 2016, the concept simplified the flavor profiles into sweet, spice, fruit, fragrance, balance and smoke.

hcreates与Black Rock上海团队合作，改造了上海热门街区富民路一个不起眼的拐角。简单的黑色立面和滤光条作为入口，人们很难不被这种新颖的方式吸引，想要一探究竟。入门后整个空间充满了对比元素：明亮与黑暗、平滑与粗糙，完美平衡了经典和现代的元素结合，创造出一种独特的空间体验，旨在让客人轻松自在。

hcreates worked with the Shanghai team to convert an unassuming corner site on the popular Fumin Road in downtown Shanghai. A simple black fa?ade with strips of filtered light marking the doorway, Black Rock subtly welcomes you in. A project of contrasts： light and dark, smooth and rough. The space balances the classic with the current to create a uniquely accessible experience.

酒吧的亮点是一个巨大原木树桩长桌。从巴布亚新几内亚进口的苏门答腊八果木足有两吨重，中间巧妙地设计了了两条横贯长桌的威士忌陈酿管道。玻璃覆盖的管道左侧连接美国橡木桶，右侧连接法国利穆赞橡木桶，分别装有21升威士忌，可以从树桩长桌末端的龙头直接供应。坐在长长的原木桌子周围，客人可以选择点一份品鉴套餐，享用长桌里的陈酿，或是在一旁的开放式酒吧点杯威士忌嗨棒和鸡尾酒，全部酒品都由六种风味特征组成。

The centerpiece of the space is their huge, tree trunk table, with two Whisky aging channels dug into the two-ton imported Erima log from Papua New Guinea. The glass-covered channels are lined with American Oak on the left and French Limousin Oak on the right, each holding 21L of whiskey, which is served straight from the pouring taps at the end of the trunk. Seated around the long truck table, you can partake in a Whisky tasting, drink from the log, or order Whisky highballs and cocktails from the open bar at the opposite end of the trunk, all created from the six basic flavour profiles.

Black Rock的整体是黑暗和神秘的。柔和的琥珀色光芒和各种颜色的威士忌交相辉映。黄铜装饰的细节、皮革饰面和定制灯具提升了空间的格调，同时又营造了轻松舒适的氛围。地板、墙壁和天花板采用有纹理的深色色调，更显低调。

The space is moody and dark, with a soft, amber glow playing on the liquid’s colour. Brass detailing, leather finishes and custom lighting create an elevated look while still maintaining a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The floor, walls, and ceilings are pared back using a dark, texture-filled palette.

整个设计过程参考威士忌陈酿过程中使用的橡木桶，并将其巧妙运用到各处细节之中。橡木色温暖而耀眼，使展示柜中的威士忌如奖杯般熠熠生辉。两个私密区域配置了条纹大理石桌、舒适柔软的沙发和皮质长椅。临街露台和贵宾区组成了空间的其他部分。

Hints of oak are used subtly throughout, referencing the barrels used in the Whisky aging process. The warm contrasting glow created by the oak coloring, enables the Whisky to shine in the trophy-like display cabinets. Two intimate lounge spaces with striped marble tables, plush sofas and leather seating, a street facing terrace and a raised VIP section make up the rest of the space.
