The Design

About Read Life Espacio cultural

Read Life es un espacio cultural compartido, concebido para la lectura pública. El proyecto abarca 815 metros cuadrados distribuidos en dos plantas. La planta baja alberga la zona principal de lectura, una panadería, un pequeño supermercado y una cafetería. Las vitrinas de suelo a techo situadas junto a la entrada acogen plantas que aportan vegetación al interior y contribuyen a purificar el aire. Los altos muros de libros definen el carácter de la zona de lectura. La segunda planta rodea el espacio central de doble altura y contiene una galería de arte y un área de juegos infantiles. El diseño conecta los libros con las personas y favorece el intercambio de conocimiento.

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.
