Text description provided by the architects. ChicBus is a chain collection store of trendy technology products, aims at building a closer relationship between technology and life. LYCS Architecture takes the challenge to upgrade its retail store design and applied it in its newly opened ChicBus Alipay Flagship Store in Hangzhou, China. Inspired by the “Greenwich Meridian", the design attempts to reveal the contrast of futuristic fantasy and traditional humanistic sentiments. The design depicts the dialogue of future and traditional way of life along the fast development of technology, and provides a distinctively branding image of the new ChicBus.

作为“虚拟世界与现实世界的连接点”，“奇布斯”的设计通过斜向分割其长方形场地来揭示它的空间。零度切线也作为“格林威治子午线”的主轴，将空间分为“虚拟空间”和“真实空间”两个不同的侧面。这两个独特的空间在180度处相遇。这条切割线大大放大了虚拟与现实的碰撞，并为参观者提供了一个诱人的姿态。线的面积也成为一个很好的地方自拍。

As its role of “the connector of the virtual and the real world”, the design of ChicBus reveals its space by obliquely dividing its rectangular site. The cutting line of zero degree, also acting as the principal axis as the “Greenwich Meridian”, divides the space into two different sides: "virtual space" and "real space". These two distinctive spaces encounter at 180 degrees. The cutting line dramatically magnifies the collision of virtual and reality and provides an inviting gesture to the visitors. The line area also becomes a great place for selfies.

以从地板到天花板的“无形隔断”作为边界，双方提供了完全不同的幻觉和现实体验。明确划分的一面是为不同种类的产品设计的，一方面展示了年轻和凉爽的高科技产品，另一方面展示了传统的时尚和活力产品。虽然明亮的“虚拟空间”与黑暗的“真实空间”有着明显的区别，但通过展示布局和材料纹理的排列来保持这种整合。

Seeing the “invisible partition”, which extended from the floor to ceiling, as the boundary, the two sides offer totally different experiences of illusion and reality. The clearly divided sides are designed for different kinds of products, which on one side displays the high-tech products of young and coolness while the other side displays the traditional products of fashion and vitality. Though the bright “virtual space” is clearly distinguished from the dark “real space”, however, the integration has been kept by the arrangements of showcases and the alignment of material textures.

在由浅色基质组成的高科技园区，“能量填充物”的展示和透明的釉面展现出一种未来的感觉。广泛的深色胶合板包覆传统产品区，与黄铜，贡献了一个原始的工业“真正的空间”。

In the high-tech zone which is composed of light-coloured matrix, the “energy filler” showcase and the transparent glazed surface reveals a sense of future. The extensive dark plywood clad traditional product zone, together with brass, contributes to a raw industrial “real space”.

照明是根据不同的大气来组织的。“虚拟空间”的照明系统与矩阵的交叉线相一致，其目的是强化矩阵，从而描绘出一个明亮的“虚拟空间”。此外，通过使用金属液滴和装配在橱柜中的灯光，再加上深色胶合板，“真实空间”给游客带来了传统的人文体验。

The illuminations are organized in terms of different atmospheres. The illumination system of the “virtual space” is placed in line with the cross lines of the matrix, which aims to intensify the matrix, and thus portrays a bright “virtual space”. Besides, by using the metallic droplights and the assembled lightings inserted in the cabinets, plus the darker plywood, the “real space” bring visitors a traditional humanistic experience.
