项目简介

The Project

过去30年，深圳的常住人口从30万人激增至1400万人。二三十岁的年轻人占总人口的比例高达65%，这在中国独一无二，赋予了深圳这座城市蓬勃的活力。深圳湾万象城商业综合体地处核心发展区域，集酒店、住宅、体育设施及办公楼于一体。池贝知子在三楼打造了一家面积为2475平方米的书店综合体 — 前檐。

"檐"是传统中国屋顶向外突出的边沿部分，寓意东方文化扩展至全球。项目取名"前檐"，体现了业主站在文化前沿的前瞻视野。

Over the past thirty years, the population of Shenzhen has exploded from 300,000 to1,400,000 people. It is unique among Chinese cities that sixty-five percent of these residents are in their twenties and thirties, giving it a powerful new energy. The MIXC (Shenzhen Bay) commercial complex is located in a development area facing Shenzhen Bay where hotels, residences, sports facilities, and office buildings are clustered. We designed the 2,475 m2 bookstore on the third floor of this complex, called Yan.

The store’s Chinese name is 前檐, pronounced "qianyan." "Yan" is the word for the decorative outer edges of eves on traditional Chinese buildings, which symbolize the East’s extension into the broader world. The owners of the bookstore chose this name because it represents their forward-looking vision of being at the leading edge of culture.

项目及设计理念

Store Concept and Interior Concept

过去几千年来，中国文化一直影响着日本乃至全世界。近几年书店在中国各大城市全面开花，普遍极具美感和震撼力。池贝知子认为，在深圳这座发展潜力无限的城市，珍视中国的原创性和个性以及探索全球化语境下东方的神秘形象尤为重要。

池贝知子以中国文化的基础 — "东方生活"为理念，希望设计出一个可以让人们深刻自我反思、创造自己独特故事的空间。项目还定位于为人们提供一个"打破思维边界、发现自我"的场所。为实现这一点，她把书店打造成了一个可以感受禅宗佛教平静、庄严精神的地方。

For many thousands of years, China has been making outstanding cultural contributions to Japan and the rest of the world. Recently, bookstores have been opening all over China which on a surface level are beautifully and strikingly designed. However, we felt that especially in this proactive city, it was important to value China’s originality and individuality, exploring mystical images of the East in the context of globalization.

Taking as our theme the concept of "Life in the East", which lies at the base of Chinese culture, we aimed to design a space in which visitors could engage in deep self-reflection and create their own unique stories. "Think Borderless, Discover Yourself" is the sub-concept and it expresses the shop’s identity as a place for endless self-discovery. To achieve this, we designed the bookstore to be a place where you can feel the calm and dignified spirit of Zen Buddhism.
