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。
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.
“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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
空间以“禅”为理念，旨在通过一面长夯土墙将书店与外面喧嚣的世界隔离，让人联想到地下层。夯土墙融合了琥珀色、乳白色等不同色调的土壤。自然土壤的色调构成了整个空间内部配色方案的基础。以书店为焦点，分布在其周围的店铺使用了相同色调，相互协调，融为一体。
The interior， with “Zen” as its concept， is devised to make the inner space a very different world from the lavish outer space， by closing off the bookstore with a long facade of rammed-earth wall， reminiscent of layers of deep strata. The rammed-earth wall incorporates soils that varies in color from amber to milky white. These shades form the base for the color scheme inside the store， which was selected entirely from natural earth tones. The bookstore is the focal point， and the tenant stores have been tied in by using the same color tones.
仿意大利洞石肌理的瓷砖覆盖地面，呈现出土壤经过多年硬化的视觉效果，表达了日积月累的理念。书架的金色色调源自地下矿物，精致的金属质感和细长的形态充满灵性。通过最大限度地弱化这些细薄书架的存在，设计传达了引领人们沉浸于书海的理念。
Tile in a mock Italian travertine pattern covers the floor， expressing the idea of accumulation through marble‘s visual representation of earth hardening over many long years. The gold color of the bookshelves derives from the image of minerals within the earth， while the slender， delicate metal shelves express spirituality. By nearly eliminating the presence of these exceedingly thin shelves， the design conveys the concept of immersing oneself in a sea of books.
空间内安装了五件契合设计理念的定制原创艺术品。每件艺术品都有一个与空间形态及理念相匹配的主题，是表达全面世界观的重要元素。活动区和小型聚集区提供了互动、交流想法及信息的场所，消费者可以在这里不断邂逅全新的体验。
We installed 5 custom-made original artworks matching the concept. Each piece of art has a theme to match the pattern and concept of the space， and are important elements to help to express a comprehensive world view. The event area and small gathering space are for a variety of events to interact and exchange information. It was devised to include practical ways to transmit ideas and information so that customers will always have new encounters and experiences.
前檐是一个邂逅智慧源泉、发现自我的空间。设计师希望人们在这里可以静下心审视自己，体验一个全新的世界。
“Yan” is a space to encounter the fountain of wisdom and search for oneself. It is also a space to feel a part of the warm earth itself. We hope that visitors will have a have a quiet contemplative experience and discover a new world within.
