About Owspace Primary Function: Panloob na Disenyo ng Tindahan ng Libro

Ang Owspace ay isang tindahan ng libro sa Hangzhou, China, na sumasaklaw sa halos 2800 metro kuwadrado sa tatlong palapag. Isang pader ng mga libro na sampung metro ang taas ang umuusbong sa tabi ng hagdan at gumagabay sa mga bisita paitaas. Ang harapan ay nabubuksan tulad ng isang sinaunang Tsinong scroll. Ang mga French window ay nagdadala ng lunting kapaligiran sa loob kapag araw, habang ang liwanag sa loob ay nagpapamukhang light box sa gusali kapag gabi. Ang mga arkong estante ng libro ay nagpapahintulot sa natural na liwanag na umabot sa bawat sulok. Ang mga estante ng libro at mga mesa ay gawa sa may-kulay na matigas na kahoy, at isang mainit na itim na kombinasyon ng mga kulay ang nagbubuklod sa mga palapag, na naglalaman ng mga lugar ng pagbabasa, kainan, isang concert hall, isang galeriya at isang lugar para sa mga picture book.

Production Technology
This over 2800 m2 bookstore adopted a warm black color scheme. Black paint on ten meter tall book wall puts people in awe, while leading the traffic flow to the upstairs. The clients originally wanted the ceiling partly black, which would have had a looming presence. After deliberation with the design team, the final design achieved a balanced color scheme. The bookshelves and the desks were all furnished with stained hardwood to refine a reading space worthy of the patrons of letters, upholding the truth intrinsic to words.
Design Challenge
The design team noted that they were like a closing pitcher in this project, since they had to complete design concept, layouts, and 3D drawings in a month. This was the clients' first multifunctional flagship bookstore. The design team hoped a good design will send the business off to a good start.
Research
The design team created OWSpace which owned by media people, a bookstore of authenticity and substance, a forum of knowledge dispersion and discourse, a good design to launch their flagship store. The facade unfolded like an ancient Chinese scroll. Layouts were all catered to cultural uses. Arched bookshelves and reconfigured path structures made way for natural lighting. French windows ushered outdoor greenery in during the day and indoor illumination of indoor radiating out at night.
Inspiration
Owing to the bookstore owners being media people, the design team explored concepts of sanctuary and knowledge ground zero, bringing knowledge from online to offline and the power of knowledge dispersion and discourse. The facade unfolded like an ancient Chinese scroll. Layouts all catered to cultural uses, creating a sanctuary for users to escape the mundane and to remember that "one has worked hard pursuing a vision greater than oneself.”
Project Duration
The project started in June 2018 and finished in March 2019, in Hangzhou China.
Operation Flow
“To give natural lighting to every corner of all three floors” was the priority of the design. The void between the ground floor and the first floor made way for stairs and a ten-meter tall book wall. In addition, the height of the first floor which was 12m high, allowed it to form the second floor and mezzanine floor office space.
