建築事務所Project M Plus與Inland Empire的首家美食酒吧The Salted Pig合作，重新設計了The Salted Pig位於美國加州Riverside的餐廳，致力於將其改造為該品牌的首個多功能餐飲空間。
Project M Plus partnered with Inland Empire’s very first gastropub, The Salted Pig, to redesign their restaurant for Riverside’s first mixed-use development, Imperial Hardware Lofts.

Salted Pig的首家店面是由一個古董商店改造而成的。在餐廳所有者Ronaldo Fierro最初的構想中，Salted Pig就是一座“質樸的酒館”，整體風格較為隨意。但建築事務所Project M Plus的創始人McShane和Cleo Murnane明白，只有設計新穎且具有趣味性的餐廳才能在提升品牌形象的基礎上吸引更多忠實的顧客。
Originally, owner Ronaldo Fierro imagined The Salted Pig as a ‘rustic public house’ when it first opened in a converted antique store – very much a DIY expression. But to scale, Project M Plus founders McShane and Cleo Murnane knew that a refreshed, playful design for the restaurant was needed to elevate the brand and charm their loyal customers.

受建築裝飾藝術主義的幾何立面和柔和的沙漠景觀的啟發，建築師們將設計的重點放在了室內溫暖色調的營造上。“我們希望能夠將周邊環境中的自然美景引入餐廳的內部，以便創造出一種場所感和舒適感，”創意總監Cleo Murnane解釋道。“溫暖的色調能夠刺激人們的食慾和感官，從而為顧客們提供一種更為愉悅的用餐體驗。”
Inspired by the building’s Art Deco geometric facade and muted desert landscape, Project M Plus landed on a warm palette to inform the interiors. “We really wanted to bring the natural beauty of the surrounding environment inside, where we could cultivate a sense of place and coziness,” explains Cleo Murnane, creative director. “Warm tones stimulate the appetite and the senses so hopefully this palette will bring delight and appetite alike.”

蜂蜜色的木製百葉分隔出一系列U形的用餐隔間。這部分隔間均採用高品質的皮革座椅，構成了餐廳的框架，為就座的客人們提供了一個私密的用餐氛圍。拱門的運用不僅在視覺上柔化了空間的角落和層次，更創造出一個趣味性的建築環境。溫暖的金屬飾面與冷鼠尾草色的牆面形成鮮明的對比，同時又與水磨石吧檯相輔相成。此外，設計團隊還在餐廳內設置了一系列當地的沙漠植物以創造空間焦點。室內的天花板被塗成了磚紅色，創造出一個柔和的紅綠色調的室內空間。吧檯上鍍銅條狀裝飾物的加入不僅為整體材料色調平添了些許粘著力和意料之外的意味，更營造出一種令人流連忘返的氛圍。

Honey-colored wooden louvers attach to the cluster of U-shaped, rich leather booths that frame the restaurant, creating intimacy for seated guests. Using arches to soften corners and layer in visual interest, Project M Plus played with warm metallic finishes and contrasting cool sage tiles on the walls to complement the terrazzo bar. They also installed native, desert plants as sculptural focal points. Painting the lofted ceiling in a burst of brick red, M Plus accented with muted blush and green throughout, and added a copper-clad bar for a cohesive, unexpected material palette that is transporting and altogether satisfying.
