辛丑年，无闰月，持续雨季。抵暮，雨停，朝霞微风。小镇仿若欧地，与郑州绝世独立。在此生活平静，在此时间蹒跚。入小镇，盘旋片刻，无以举灯，便经一光，入光中，已不知是户外还是室内。
In the Xin Chou year,no leap month, the rainy season continues. At dusk, the rain stopped, The morning glow has a breeze. The small town is more like in Europe, where is uniquely independent of Zhengzhou city. Where we feel life is peaceful, time is faltering. Get into the town, people are hovering for a while, no holding lights, passing by a bright place. Walk in the light, they are no longer felt whether it is outdoor or indoor.

一层建筑空间几近一半留给户外，不设大门，街里邻居顾客少年老人皆可入坐，流浪汉们大寒夏日皆可在此地取暖避暑。一杯消暑的冷咖啡，一碗温柔的意大利面，便是整个空间的意志和意愿。小半，如此意愿。在这样一个喧嚣冰冷世事无常的都市中，小半希望最大限度的给予人们温暖与陪伴。
Almost half of the building space on the first floor is reserved for the outdoors, you can call it “the grey space”,There is no gate. Neighbors, customers, young people and the elderly can sit there, and homeless people can warm up no matter it is cold or summer. A cup of iced and refreshing coffee, a bowl of warm pasta,they are the will of the entire space. Hemicycle ,so it is it’s will! In such a noisy and icy city, Hemicycle hopes to give people warmth and company as much as possible.

建筑整体两层，坐东朝西，一层后退至整层的五分之二为灰空间，在此使客人感受冷暖春秋，夕阳雨后。与户外的园林形成一气，使人充分感受自然的风、水、光。
The whole building has two floors,sitting east to west. The first floor is set back to two-fifths of the whole floor as a gray space, where guests can feel the cold spring and the warm autumn, sunset and rain. Stay with the garden, people can fully feel the natural wind, water and light.

室内，以桦木主导，形成一个适当安静隐私的温润空间。吧台背后，开两十字方窗，更是希望与入门形成风气对流，便也是一个会呼吸的房子了。行云流水的钢构楼梯，让人无意识的从一楼涌入二楼的画廊空间。这是一座由咖啡，brunch，与画廊组成的一个完整建筑。这是一座小镇的乌托邦。
The interior is dominated by birch wood, formed a private warm and moist space. Behind the bar count, there are two square windows with crosses, we hope to form a convection with the entrance, and it is also a house that can breathe. The flowing steel staircase makes people unconsciously influx into the gallery space on the second floor from the first floor. This is a complete architecture space composed of coffee, brunch, and gallery. This is a utopia of a small town.

入座罢，来一杯成熟风味的咖啡，陪伴黑松露，细嚼慢咽。日落，一杯葡萄馨息的红酒，侍奉你的炭火烧烤，或者温厚的意大利薄饼。之后，马上腊月，如若外面飞雪，添一杯阿拉伯热咖啡。这一切都是小半可以赋予的感受。
Please seat down here, have a cup of mature and flavored coffee, accompanied by black truffles, and chew slowly. At sunset, a glass of grape-scented red wine, there is a charcoal grill to serve you, or if you want a warm Italian crepes. Afterward, the twelfth lunar month is coming, when it is snowing outside, just put a cup of Arabic hot coffee in your hand. All of the feelings that Hemicycle can give.

回想，当欧洲人第一次接触到咖啡的时候，他们便把如此诱人的饮料称之为“阿拉伯酒”，当保守的天主教徒诅咒咖啡为“魔鬼撒旦的饮料”的时候，他们可曾想到他们从“异教徒”那里承袭来的是一种何等的珍贵。

就像在这样喧嚣冷酷无情的都市中，你来到这里，无论是被称之为“撒旦的饮料”，还是“耶稣的血”，尽情罢，浸入罢。人生无常，人生笑短。对饮三人，生活永存。
Just like in such a noisy and ruthless city, you came here, whether it’s called” the Satan’s drink” or “the Jesus’ blood”, just enjoy it and immerse yourself into it. Life is impermanent, life is so short. Drink with your friends, life will last forever.
