Goodbye Horses: 감성적 건축과 와비사비 미학의 만남 Goodbye Horses_A Folk Art Inspired Wine Bar in London Full of Poetic Charm

1. 서론
런던 De Beauvoir Town에 위치한 "Goodbye Horses"는 자연주의 와인 바로, 스위스 건축가 Leopold Banchini의 독창적 디자인이 돋보이는 공간이다. 이 프로젝트는 20세기 초 예술과 공예 운동과 일본의 민게이 미학의 교차점을 탐구하며, 현대적 미학과 지역 커뮤니티의 조화를 선보인다.

2. 공간 구성과 배치
공간의 중심에는 단일 참나무로 제작된 10미터 길이의 오크 바가 위치하며, 바, 주방, 공동 테이블로서 다기능적인 역할을 수행한다. 바 주변에는 맞춤형 가구들이 배치되어 동선과 시각적 흐름을 자연스럽게 연결하며, 커뮤니티와 소통을 위한 열린 구조를 제공한다.

3. 소재와 질감
벽면은 석회와 거친 질감으로 마감된 벽돌로 구성되었으며, 천장은 핸드 텍스처 코르크로 마감되어 따뜻하고 부드러운 음향 환경을 제공한다. 바닥은 점토, 밀짚, 아마씨 기름으로 만들어져 소박함과 촉각적 매력을 더한다. 이러한 소재들은 공간에 자연스러운 텍스처와 따뜻한 감성을 부여한다.

4. 빛과 색채
자연광은 창문을 통해 부드럽게 유입되며, 벽화와 커튼에 반사되어 공간에 따뜻한 분위기를 조성한다. 인공 조명은 자연광과 조화롭게 배치되어 색채와 텍스처를 부각시키며, 벽화는 공간의 생동감을 더하는 시각적 중심 역할을 한다.

5. 기능성과 사용성
이 공간은 와인 바 이상의 역할을 하며, 지역 커뮤니티와 방문객이 와인 시음, 이벤트, 모임 등을 통해 소통할 수 있는 장을 제공한다. 오디오파일 급 사운드 시스템은 음악 애호가들에게 고품질의 청취 경험을 선사하며, 공간의 다기능적 가치를 강화한다.

6. 미적 요소
"Goodbye Horses"의 디자인은 일본의 와비사비 미학을 중심으로, 자연스러운 비례와 곡선이 공간의 유기적 흐름을 형성한다. 손으로 제작된 벽화와 가구는 공간의 독창성을 강조하며, 조화로운 미적 경험을 제공한다.

7. 기술적 세부 사항
10미터 길이의 오크 바는 정교한 공법으로 조립되어 자연스러운 곡선과 질감을 보존하면서도 견고한 구조를 유지한다. 이 기술적 요소는 공간의 중심 축으로 기능적 역할과 미적 역할을 동시에 수행한다.

8. 사용자 경험
방문객들은 아늑하고 시적인 분위기 속에서 느긋한 시간을 보낼 수 있다. 이 공간은 지역 주민과 방문객 모두에게 열려 있으며, 설문 조사 결과 방문객들은 공간의 편안함과 독창성에 대해 긍정적인 평가를 내렸다.

9. 결론
"Goodbye Horses"는 단순한 와인 바를 넘어, 민속 예술과 현대 미학이 결합된 독창적 공간으로 자리 잡았다. 스위스 건축가 Leopold Banchini의 창의성과 일본 와비사비 미학의 영향이 어우러진 이 공간은 단순히 건축적 아름다움뿐만 아니라 커뮤니티와의 연결성, 사용자 경험, 그리고 디자인 혁신을 동시에 충족시킨다. 이 프로젝트는 전통과 현대, 실용성과 예술성 사이의 완벽한 균형을 보여주며, 런던의 건축 문화에 새로운 가능성을 제시한다.

Goodbye Horses_A Folk Art-Inspired Wine Bar in London Full of Poetic Charm

Hidden within a Georgian terrace in the leafy North London enclave of De Beauvoir Town, Goodbye Horses, a natural wine bar and restaurant, and its sister coffee shop Day Trip, pair understated charm with a poetic architectural vision. The debut project of Alex Young and George de Vos, these venues, along with their latest addition, The Dreamery an artisanal ice cream parlour and wine bar located just across the street—form a cohesive yet multifaceted celebration of design, craftsmanship, and hospitality.

Boldly reimagined by Swiss architect Leopold Banchini, the former pub housing Goodbye Horses and Day Trip serves as a striking canvas for an evocative cross cultural dialogue inspired by the interplay of the Arts and Crafts and Japanese Mingei movements during the early 20th century, while The Dreamery introduces a sleek and whimsical counterpoint with its kaleidoscopic design, courtesy of Young’s design consultancy Ltd Ltd and architecture practice Studio Bates Rai. Together, the trio encapsulates a unique harmony between art, community, and gastronomy.

Harmoniously fusing English Medieval Revival motifs with Japanese wabi sabi aesthetics, Banchini’s design celebrates the tactile beauty of natural materials while sidestepping nostalgia in favour of a forward-thinking approach to craft. From its low-slung, ten-metre-long oak bar to hand-painted folklore-inspired murals, Goodbye Horses—whimsically named after a moody 1980s synthpop song—offers an invitingly eclectic yet meticulously curated setting that invites guests to slow down and appreciate the finer details, aided by a stellar selection of natural and biodynamic wines and an audiophile-quality sound system.

Upon entering the space, visitors are met with an immediate sense of tactile immersion. The pub’s original brick walls are adorned with limewash and roughcast, while the ceiling is finished in hand textured cork, lending the space a sense of warmth combined with an acoustic softness. Underfoot, a beaten-earth floor of clay, straw, and linseed oil evokes the utilitarian simplicity of early countryside pubs, subtly connecting guests to the building’s history.

The space's focal point is undoubtedly the ten-metre long wooden counter. Crafted from a single oak tree, the sculptural piece stretches across the room, doubling as a bar, kitchen counter, and communal dining table, its raw edges and visible grain lending the space a quiet monumentality. Surrounding this central axis are bespoke stools, light fixtures, and furniture, crafted with an alchemist’s palette of materials: think oak, Japanese hemp fibre paper, Italian hand-cast glass, volcanic stone, and oxidized brass.

Cornwall-based artist Lucy Stein animates the space with hand-painted murals featuring pastel hues and Marc Chagall-esque motifs, including a horse and half-moon—Goodbye Horses’ emblem. Adorning floor-to ceiling hessian curtains and a luminous rice-paper light fixture above the central bar, her vibrant explorations of British folklore and mythology meld past and present while poetically evoking the coloured translucency of stained-glass windows from bygone eras.

The sensory experience extends beyond sight and touch to sound, with an audiophile quality quadraphonic system designed by Izaak Gray. Perfectly restored vintage Tannoy Lancaster speakers envelop diners in an eclectic soundscape of vinyl records selected daily from an extensive 4,000-strong library. Against this sonic backdrop, Head Chef Jack Coggins delivers a weekly rotating menu of sharing plates that champion seasonality and sustainability. From Sardines on Milk Bread to Oxtail Ragout Broken Rice, each dish reflects a playful yet refined approach to modern British cuisine, perfectly paired with an ambitious selection of natural wines curated by Wine Director Nathalie Nelles.
