The Town Mouse 城市之鼠酒吧
In a neighbourly setting a behind Lygon Street in Melbourne, this new bar/restaurant sets out to feel as like it was opened in any decade. We deliberately eschewed fable references of ‘The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse’ in favour of a less literal approach. Inspired by the town grid our custom drawn typography is based on an isometric birds eye view of buildings. Skyscrapers are also referenced in the menu designs where perspectives are toyed with.
Through the details of our execution painterly highlights hark back to a bygone era of hand-crafted signage adding warmth, while the jaunty angle of the typography and glow-in-the-dark business cards allude to the party atmosphere in the bar. The signpainted doorstep, and windows gilded in shades of gold leaf, will wear with age and grow in character — and we’re sure The Town Mouse will do the same.

在一个友善的设置在莱贡街在墨尔本，这个新的酒吧/餐厅开始感觉像是在任何年代都打开。我们刻意回避寓言引用“城里老鼠和一个较小的文字方法有利于乡村老鼠”。灵感来自于城市电网自定义绘制的版式是根据建筑物的等距鸟瞰。摩天大楼也引用在菜单设计视角的玩弄。
通过对我国执行绘画集锦详细追溯过去时代的手工制作的标牌添加温暖，而在黑暗的名片的版式和辉光的角度暗示聚会的气氛在酒吧。该signpainted门口，和镀金的金叶子颜色窗口，将磨损与年龄和性格上的成长，我们相信城里老鼠也会做同样的事。
