d-u渡咖文集坐落于有着“江南水弄堂，运河绝版地”之称的清名桥古运河景区内，与挚舍·南禅观水酒店相邻。在满足保持整体风格一致的需求下，又要体现其作为独立美学空间的多样性。

d-u DucalD Coffee & Culture ucal Anthology is located in the Qingming Bridge and Ancient Canal Scenic Area, which is known for  “Water Lane Hall in the South of the Yangtze River” with the reputation of “Relic of the Ancient Canal”. Merging well into the surroundings while at the same time introducing the diversity of an independent aesthetic space, DUCAL Coffee & CultureDucal Anthology neighbors the Zhishe· Nanchan Guanshui Waterfront Sincere  Hotel.​

老街南下塘仍旧保留着当初枕河人家、小桥流水的古镇风貌。在江南老街与咖啡文化的对话关系中，如何寻找到平衡，是本哲在设计中的难点也是重点。

The ancient Nanxiatang Street retains the look of an ancient town, featuring households by rivers and small bridges over streams. For Benzhe Architecture Design, it is crucial to balance the dialogue between an ancient street in the south of the Yangtze River and the modern coffee culture.

更新后的入口处，细木格栅窗替代了原有的密闭花格窗，更加轻简有温度；外凸原木落地玻璃窗的运用让室内外空间更加敞亮通透。咖啡厅侧面开辟出进入室内的通道，褐色砂石中青石板路曲折迂回，营造出温婉江南的意境。

At the newly furnished entrance, the window of flower-shaped lattice is replaced by that of slim wood grilles, generating a lighter and warmer feeling. A convex French casement window made of wood and glass is also employed to make the space brighter and roomier. Leading to the cafe is an aisle sitting on the side; with its stone road curving through sand and pellets, it creates an atmosphere of gentleness that is typical in the south of the Yangtze River.

推开主入口实木大门，是一个艺术展示区，兼具接待、艺术沙龙、展厅的功能。作为展厅时，空间内部的接待台和休闲长椅可瞬间变为吧台和展台。艺术空间和咖啡区由落地大玻璃窗隔开，两个空间纵深相互延展。

With a slight push of the solid wood door of the main entrance, an art exhibition area awaits you. It can be used for receptions or art salons; yet when an exhibition takes place, the reception desk and leisure benches can transform into a bar counter together with display stands. This arts area is separated from the cafe area with glass French windows, appearing to make the two areas combine into one.

用餐区中央整体被抬高，形成颇具日式风格的榻榻米区，带有多格书架的实木吧台、水吧及下沉式休闲区域，让室内空间错落有致，形成一个有趣的视觉体系。邻窗水流声不绝于耳，树影婆娑，内院景色一览无余。

The dining area has a raised-up center, featuring with a Japanese style tatami. Here you will find a solid wood bar counter with grid bookshelves. Feel free to grab a book and your favorite beverage and follow your steps to the sunken entertainment area, or just enjoy the visual pleasure provided by the well-arranged space. From the windows flows the song of running water, seasoning with the shadows of trees dancing in the breeze. And you are guaranteed with a sweeping view of their banquet.

艺术空间和咖啡区的交接处，有一个狭长的新浇混凝土通道，内外切换给人强烈的“穿越”感。下沉式的江南庭院风雅别致，置身其中，偷得浮生半日闲。

At the junction where the arts area and the coffee area meet, a long and narrow aisle of fresh concrete produces a stark contrast between the interior and the exterior space. The sunken courtyard is classic and elegant in a quintessential way. Come and stay for half a day, you can forget the hustle and bustle of urban life and savor your peace and respite.
