香蕉鱼是一个有自己忠实的客群的品牌，香蕉鱼的老店有自己独特的空间氛围，这个氛围已经成为了很多老客人对于这个品牌的记忆。
As a successful brand, BANANAFISH boasts a group of loyal devotees, its old shop graced by a unique space atmosphere, has already become the cherished memory of many old customers.
为香蕉鱼设计新的旗舰店是一个很有挑战性的工作。我们与两位主理人经过深入的讨论，几易其稿，最终选定了由空间尺度和材料质感来形成空间氛围感的方案。
For this reason, designing a new flagship store for BANANAFISH was quite the challenge. After in-depth discussions with Banana Fish’s managers and a flurry of drafts and revisions, we finally selected a scheme aimed to transmit a sense of spatial atmosphere by balancing scale and material textures.
老店的空间具有小而美的特色，而新店的场地面积比老店大很多，同时挑高也高了不少。为了还原老店的尺度记忆，我们首先将空间沿横剖方向做了明确的分层，每层的空间高度具有戏剧性的对比，按照高-低-高-低-高的节奏排列，最高处达到结构板底，最低处达到2.2米净高的极限值。
The old store abides to the “small but pretty” motto, while the new store spans through a much larger site area, its ceiling being also much higher. In an attempt to echo memories from the old store, we first devised a clear layering of the site along cross-sectional lines, emphasizing the spatial height of each floor with dramatic contrast, and arranged the site according to a rhythm pattern of high-low-high-low-high, within which the highest point extends to the bottom of the structural plate, and the lowest point drops to a limit value of 2.2 meters net height.
这5个空间层次分别对应了入口（高）-杂志区（低）-展厅（高）-书籍区（低）-咖啡厅（高）这5个功能，两侧的高空间也与城市道路和室外花园形成空间尺度的衔接。
These five spatial levels embody functions of entrance (high) – magazine area (low) – exhibition hall (high) – book area (low) and café (high), higher sections on both sides also form a spatial scale connection with urban roads and outdoor gardens.
两个低矮的空间对应了杂志和书籍两个主要的停留空间，这里也是“唤起”关于老店的记忆最重要的区域。2.2米高度的空间很少在商业空间的设计中出现，顾客由高空间切换进入低空间的瞬间，会产生很奇妙的空间包裹感。我们进而在书籍区采用了迷宫式的全流动空间布局，让空间的每个界面更加接近体验者的身体。
The two low areas correspond to the two main stacking spaces for magazines and books, and bear the task of “evoking” memories of the old shop. A 2.2-meter-high space rarely appears in the design of commercial spaces, and the moment customers switch from high space to low space, it will induce a surprising sensation of being wrapped by it. To the goal of heightening emotional response, we adopted a labyrinthine layout of fully flowing space in the book area, bringing each interface of the space closer to the body of the experiencer.
在老店中，两位主理人用桦木多层板自己设计和制作了所有的家具。我们沿用了这种材料，并将它从“家具”的尺度提升到“建筑构件”的尺度。通过堆叠的“厚拼”方式，多层板的层数进一步增加，10厘米的厚拼断面被直接的展示出来，成为了空间的骨架，同时也是所有家具的“画框”。
In the old shop, the two managers designed and made all the furniture themselves using birch multi-layer panels. We took this material and elevated it from the scale of “furniture” to that of “building components”. Through the “thick puzzle” stacking method, the number of layers of multi-layer panels is further increased, and a 10 cm thick patchwork section is directly displayed, thus becoming the skeleton frame of the site and a sort of “picture frame” of all furniture.
在每个书架的90至130厘米标高处，我们“打开”了书架实体的部分，形成了空间的视线通道。在空间中行走时，视线的穿透是局部的，只能看到相邻空间的一小部分以及其他人的身体局部；而落座之后，人体的视线标高会正好落在视线通道中，这时则可以浏览整个空间，看到空间中所有的阅读者，并欣赏花园中的植物。
In order to channel sight lines, we “carved out” the physical part of the shelfs at an elevation of 90 to 130 cm for each shelf. When walking within the site, the penetration of the sight lines is localized, and only a tiny section of the adjacent space or other people’s body parts can be seen; After sitting down, the human body’s gaze level should align perfectly with the sight lines, so that the entire space can be browsed at once, all the readers within it. Additionally, you should also be able to get a tantalizing glimpse of the plants in the garden.
我们希望来到香蕉鱼新店的客人会感受到设计师对于老店空间氛围的尊重，同时又能够感知到新店空间对于探索的鼓励。
We sincerely hope that guests shall perceive our homage to the atmosphere of the old store, while treasuring the opportunity for exploration given by the new one.
