Banq餐廳位是一家新型餐廳，位于便士儲蓄銀行（Penny Savings Bank）舊大樓以前用來經營銀行業務的大廳內。餐廳分成兩個部分，前面區域面向華盛頓大街，設計成酒吧，后面的大廳則作為用餐區。然而，這個空間在z軸上以天花板和地面之間的另一個分區為中心進行設計。如果由于餐廳空間活動的多變性而需要保持靈活性——包括兩個座位、四個座位和六個座位，以及與聚會和其他活動有關的座位配置——那么天花板就包含了一部分的固定的建筑物基礎設施，即結構、排水系統、機械設備、噴水系統、照明系統和其他聲學系統。為此，設計者開發了一種條紋木板條系統，它能在縱向軸上隱藏機器、管道和照明系統，為使用者提供一個可供就餐的頂篷。木板材的幾何形狀與上述設備協調一致，但也采用輻射式，以便與其他毗鄰設備之間實現平滑過渡關系，營造了無縫景觀。大廳中央的柱子和酒窖，起到了支撐樓層的作用，給人一種似乎是從天花板上懸掛下來的感覺。如果縱向軸強調無縫表面，那么橫向的視野就可以向上看到服務空間的條紋，使人產生神秘莫測的感覺。為了強調這一策略，天花板的某些區域采用“滴落”和“驟降”的處理方式，以確認出口標志的位置、照明功能以及其他細節。

Located in the old Penny Savings Bank, Banq is a new restaurant located at the base of the former banking hall. Divided into two segments, the front area on Washington Street is programmed as a bar, while the larger hall behind serves as the dining area. The design of the space, however,is conceptualized around another division, on the z axis, between the ceiling and the ground. If the ground needs to remain flexible as a result of fluctuating activities of the restaurant space--two seaters, fours, and sixes, among a range of other organizations related to parties and other events-- then, the ceiling contains fixed programs that are part of the building’s infrastructure-- the structure, drainage, mechanical equipment, sprinkler system, lighting, and other the acoustic systems. To that end, a striated wood-slatted system that conceals the view of the mechanical,plumbing, and lighting systems on the longitudinal axis was developed that offers a canopy under which to dine. The geometry of the wood slats conform to the equipment above, but are also radiused in order to smoothen the relationship between other adjoining equipment, creating a seamless landscape. The columns and the wine storage, in the middle of the hall, serve to uphold the fiction, and appear to be suspended from the ceiling. If the longitudinal axis emphasizes the seamless surface, then lateral views offer striated glimpses into the service space above, and demystify the illusion. To underline this strategy, certain areas of the ceiling “drip” and “slump”,acknowledging the location of exit signs, lighting features, and other details.
