Unique Properties: Symbiosis has been one of the common relationships between the biological world and human society, enlightening the design of public reading space as well. In this shared space, people rest, read and cogitate. This is also a space where people enjoy a moment of calm, have a cup of coffee, and savor food. The design of shared space carries out the multiple functions and the diversified developments of space, and progressively becomes the crucial strength promoting the social developments.
Dimensions & Packaging: The property is 815 square meters.
Tags: Books, Shared space, cafe, multifunction, art
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.
Inspiration: Life concerns more on the pursuit of spirit. We should be grateful and contribute to the society with the limited resources and conditions. This is the intent of design, making reading communal and making life universal.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2018, locates in Henan, China.
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.
