About Read Life Espai Cultural

Read Life és un espai cultural compartit dissenyat per a la lectura pública. El projecte ocupa 815 metres quadrats en dues plantes. La primera planta acull la zona principal de lectura, una fleca, un petit supermercat i una cafeteria. Les vitrines expositives de terra a sostre situades prop de l'entrada contenen plantes, que aporten verdor a l'interior i ajuden a purificar l'aire. Grans parets de llibres defineixen el caràcter de la zona de lectura. La segona planta envolta l'espai central obert i conté una galeria d'art i una zona de joc infantil. El disseny connecta els llibres i les persones i afavoreix l'intercanvi de coneixement.

Production Technology: The 1st floor is the composite space encompassing the main reading area, the bread shop, the small supermarket, the café, etc. Alongside the building entrance, the floor-to-ceiling display cabinets adorned with plants on the vertical scale unite the organic, indoor greening, air purifying functions, etc. that correspond to the concept of interior design.
Design Challenge: The 2nd floor surrounding the tall indoor space has the art gallery and children’s play area, where the capacious environment is comfy for playing and reading activities. Staying in the tall and open space, people have the different experiences of reading and life. This is the space not only connects books and people, also enhance the communications of knowledge and life among people.

Operation Flow: The towering cabinets disclose the magnificent momentum. The design of book walls fascinatingly resembles the movie scene in “Roman Holiday,” in which the actress Audrey Hepburn first met the actor. The space characters are distinct from the general impression to a reading area. The café, behind the reading area, is embellished with the sufficient daylight and the elegant colors and adornments consistently conformed to the main design skills. The stair lighting, from the 1st to 2nd floor, is gorgeous.
