你或许听说过从农场到餐桌，那你是否听说过从泳池到农场再到餐桌？如果没有，那我们将会把水池农场推荐给您，一个坐落于曼哈顿Ink48酒店的餐厅。餐厅是由屋顶水池改造而成的，水池周围布满了可食用的植物。这个独具创意的设计是由Future Green Studio和Farming Up共同创作的，其中还使用了许多可循环和具有可持续性的材料。
       水池农场是由Ink48酒店16层的两处泳池改造而成的一个私人屋顶花园和就餐区域。Future Green Studio和Farming Up用重蚁木将水池的凹陷处填补，给就餐者带来浓浓的乡土气息。木板设计的样子像是日本的寿司卷帘，为了让大家知道这块就餐地的前身是个泳池，设计者还特意将泳池的阶梯和深水警示标志保留了下来。
       如果一个用水池做餐厅的设计仍然无法打动你的心，不用着急，水池农场还留有后手呢。在这里就餐的游客可以从他们周围的植物任意挑选自己喜欢的植物，然后直接吃下去即可！这是最新鲜不过的食材了！

       You've probably heard of farm-to-table dining, but what about pool-to-farm-to-table? If not, we encourage you to stop by Pool Farm, a rather unique dining experience at Manhattan's Ink48 hotel. Commissioned as part of the hotel's Press Lounge restaurant, the intimate space transforms a rooftop pool into a sunken dining area surrounded by edible flora. The verdant retrofit was a collaboration between Future Green Studio and Farming Up, and uses a mix of recycled and sustainable materials.
       Pool Farm takes one of the two pools located on Ink48′s 16th floor and repurposes into a private rooftop garden and dining area. Future Green Studio and Farming Up lined the sunken space with ipe wood decking salvaged from another renovation project, giving it a warm, rustic feel. The wood panels, which were inspired by Japanese sushi mats, also form benches along the sides of the pool for diners to sit. Some elements of the pool, like the blue and white tile and depth warning signs, were kept intact as a fun nod to the space’s original use.
       And if a restaurant that used to be a pool still isn’t enough to excite you, Pool Farm throws yet another element into the mix. In addition to being able to eat inside of a pool, diners will also find themselves sitting in the midst of some of the very veggies and herbs they’ll find served on their plates! The restaurant’s chef and professional forager worked directly with the designers to create the optimal planting palette for the rooftop’s edible garden, resulting in fresh produce that is just about as local as one can get.
       Pool Farm can be booked for private parties of up to 25 people by contacting John O’Mahoney, the hotel restaurant’s Director of Sales and Marketing, at 646-572-7404.
