架构师提供的文本描述。通过捕捉自然光和阴影，卡夫一号从高度农耕的“种子”形象中汲取灵感，为位于钱江新城莱佛士市广场的杭州新颜济尤书店的设计提供了灵感。在继续探索设计与城市的关系的过程中，卡夫一号将自然元素运用到空间设计中，赋予它一种动态的生命感，同时加强品牌设计与杭州文化的联系。

Text description provided by the architects. By capturing natural light and shadow, Karv One draws inspiration from the highly agrarian image of "seeds" for the design of the new Yan Ji You book store in Hangzhou, located in Raffles City Plaza of Qianjiang New City. In continuation of its exploration on the relation between design and cities, Karv One applies the natural elements into the design of space and gives it a dynamic sense of life while strengthening the connection between brand design and Hangzhou culture.

这是卡夫人试图通过在繁忙的城市生活中开辟一个独特的体验空间而取得的突破。“种子”和“杭州”的概念被创造性地融合在一起，展示了种子和文化如何塑造了城市生活的未来。品牌和空间就像种在杭州土壤中的种子，后来在整个城市开花。

This is a breakthrough that Karv One tries to make by opening up an experience space of uniqueness amid the bustling urban life. The concept of “seed" and "Hangzhou" are creatively blended to show how seeds and culture cast the future of urban life. Brand and space are like seeds sowed in the soil of Hangzhou, which later grow into blossoms all over the city.

整个空间给人以简单线条的第一视觉印象，加上田园木材的色彩与大自然的山、河、植物的温暖相呼应，而天花板的创意设计则以独特的方式展示了自然和杭州元素的视觉图解。

The whole space gives the first visual impression with simple lines, coupled with pastoral wood color echoing with the warmth of the mountains, rivers and plants of nature, while the creative design of the ceiling presents a visual illustration of nature and Hangzhou elements in a distinctive way.

参观者在入口处的仪式和体验是设计师永远不能忽视的东西。在入口设计中，卡夫一号通过加强立面的空间和视觉比例，很好地平衡了美学和游客体验。天花板的整体设计可以扩展整个空间。窗帘一样的屏幕隔开了室内和室外空间，提供了商店内环境的一瞥。

Visitors’ sense of ritual and experience at the entrance is something that the designer can never ignore. In the entrance design, Karv One finely balances the aesthetics and visitor experience by strengthening the spatial and visual proportions of the facade. One-piece design of the ceiling serves to extend the entire space. The curtain-like screen separates the indoor and outdoor space, offering a glimmering glance of the environment inside the store.

闪闪发光的湖，小麦波，梯田.。这些自然元素成为天花板和地板设计的灵感，暗示着自然与城市的共存。

Sparkling lake, wheat waves, terraced fields... such elements of nature become inspiration of design for the ceiling and floor, implying the coexistence of nature and city.

闪闪发光的自然湖在设计上提供了灵感。天花板厚实的木质色彩在视觉上占据了很大一部分空间，用漂亮的曲线和平面来描绘整个空间。

Sparkling Lake Nature offers inspiration in design. The burly wood color of the ceiling visually takes up a great proportion of space, contouring the whole space with beautiful curves and planes.

“种子”的元素分散在不同的空间和细节区域。在入口处的展区摆放着各种各样的植物种子，象征着文化的播种，这立刻成为游客关注的焦点。

The element of "seed" is interspersed in different areas of space and details. At the display area at the entrance are placed a variety of plant seeds in Hangzhou, symbolizing sowing seeds of culture, which instantly becomes the focal point of visitors’ attention.

装饰和展示也与设计理念相一致，从而定义了一致的空间风格。不同的区域是一个完整的整体，有效地安排了空间的等高线。在3200平方米的空间内，功能区布局有序。然而，通过小小的设计曲折，可以为游客创造不同的景观。

The decoration and display are also consistent with the design concept so as to define a consistent style of space. Different areas are connected as an integrated whole with effective arrangement of the contouring lines of the space. In the space of 3200 square meters, the functional areas are laid out in an orderly way. Yet different views are able to be created for visitors through small twists of design.

你可以想象它是微风穿过湖，小麦波，或田野与峡谷和沟壑。无论那是什么，它增加了动态元素和层空间，以及整洁的轮廓线。

You may imagine it as the breeze across the lake, the wheat waves, or field with ravines and gullies. Whatever that may be, it adds dynamic elements and layers of space along with the neat contouring lines.

卡夫岛下的云突出了讲台的独特性，它独立于书籍、产品和咖啡领域，有着稍微不同的现代设计。

Island Under Cloud Karv One  highlights the uniqueness of the podium, which is independent from books, products and coffee areas, with a slightly differentiated and modern design.

这是一个360度的领奖台，主题是“孤岛”，白色的铁网天花板像天空一样挂满了云彩，而层次分明的几何座位安排的创新理念则是从“露台”演变而来的。

This is a 360-degree podium with "island" theme, with the white iron net ceiling hanging like sky full of clouds while the innovative idea of the hierarchical geometric seating arrangement evolves from "terraces".

卡夫一号将整个空间的共享性发挥到极致，巧妙地协调中间讲台的位置和位置与其周围的座位之间的距离，将讲台变成一棵从远处望去的茂密的树。

Karv One maximizes the sharing nature of the entire space by cleverly coordinating the positions of and distance between the podium in the center and the seats surrounding it, turning the podium to a luxuriant tree in the space seen from afar. 

通过书籍散步，独特的风景和美丽的河流周围流动的建筑在江南的村庄，也启发了设计。西湖上的中国古代桥梁元素与交错木条形成的动态轮廓线融合在一起。

Promenade through Books The unique scenery and the beautiful view of rivers flowing around architectures in the villages of southern Yangtze river have inspired the design as well. Elements of ancient Chinese bridges over the West Lake are blended into the dynamic contouring lines created with the staggered wooden strips.

抛光地板的设计就像西湖的表面，给游客一种西湖“穿越柳树”的感觉。

The design of polished floor resembles the surface of West Lake, presenting visitors with a feeling of “travelling through willow trees” by West Lake.

湖的影子咖啡区的设计背景相对较暗，天花板星光灿烂，其整体氛围与书架和产品展示部分相呼应。

Shadow of Lake The coffee area is designed with a relatively darker background and starry ceiling, whose overall atmosphere echoes with the book shelf and product display sections.

仔细观察，天花板上的光斑会显示出波浪状的图案。从上下颠倒的角度看，它们可能会让游客想起西湖闪闪发光的表面。

When observed carefully, the light spots on the ceiling come to show wavy patterns. Seen from upside down, they may remind visitor of the sparkling surface of West Lake.

这是另一家品牌旗舰店Karv-一家专为颜济而设计的，位于成都首都、北京、成都IFS等地的旗舰店。如果成都凯迪兰的商店是一个精致的现代创意集合体，在北京是一座宏伟而浪漫的文化工厂，而在成都IFS则是一个探索未来的梦想空间，你将如何定义潜江边的“种子”？

This is another brand flagship store Karv One designed for Yan Ji You after the Chengdu CapitaLand, Beijing LIVAT and Chengdu IFS stores. If the store in Chengdu CapitaLand is a delicate collection of modern creativity, that in Beijing LIVAT a grand but romantic cultural plant and that in Chengdu IFS a dream space to explore the future, how will you define the "seed" beside the Qianjiang River?

一旦一个卡夫一完成，它等待人们介入，体验和让他们的想象力刺激多样化的设计表达。

Once a Karv One is completed, it awaits people to step in, to experience and to let their imagination stimulated by the diversified design expressions.
