珍家古董店，成都/室内

Modern life in Chinese metropolitan cities is very fast paced, multiple things may be happening at the same time within one second, while the antique furniture was produced before the year 1830, over 185 years ago, when people’s daily life was totally different from nowadays, which used to be much more localized, and people were willing to spend more time to focus on one single object with details.

这家古董店位于成都一个新开发区的一个店面上，面积略大于200平方米。一旦进入商店，我们希望人们放慢脚步，改变精神状态，专注于精美的手工家具。利用空间高度，创造丰富的空间序列层次，延长这一有限区域内的参观循环，以延长时间，增强游客与古董之间的体验，并将人们的思维带回时间。

The antique shop is located at a storefront in a newly developed district in Chengdu, just a little bit bigger than 200m2. Once entering the shop, we want people to slow down and change the mental state to concentrate on the beautifully hand crafted furniture. Making use of the space height and creating rich layers of spatial sequences, visiting circulation in this limited area is prolonged, in order to extent the time and enhance the experiences between the visitors and the antiques, and to bring people’s thinking back into time.

流通区的设计是黑暗的，而放置古董的地方是明亮的、高高的和有框架的。通过这种对比，古董的独特性和珍贵性得到了强调。展示箱的外层采用金属反光材料，进一步加强新旧对比，让人们意识到古董的价值，这是当今无法复制的。

The circulation area is designed to be dark, while where the antiques are placed is bright, elevated and framed. By creating such contrast, the uniqueness and preciousness of the antiques get emphasized. Metallic reflective material is used as the cladding of the display boxes to further strengthen the contrast between the old and new, to make people aware of the value of the antiques, which cannot be copied nowadays.
