泰国首家苹果分店

Foster + Partners use trees as partitions inside Thailand’s first Apple store

Foster + Partners事务所使用当地树木和木制工作台打造了这座位于泰国ICONSIAM购物中心内的苹果分店，这是苹果公司在泰国开设的首家分店。

这家店坐落于去年11月新开业的Iconsiam购物中心。

苹果商店的前方有两面伸展的玻璃立面，它被设计为植物广场的延伸，透过玻璃可以一览湄南河的景观。

Indigenous trees and wooden workbenches line the inside of Apple Iconsiam in Bangkok, the first Apple Store to open in Thailand, designed by Foster + Partners.

The store forms part of the new Iconsiam shopping complex that opened in November.

Fronted by two expansive glass facades, it is designed as an extension of the plant-filled plaza it sits on and offers views over the Chao Phraya River.

Foster + Partners事务所表示：“该设计从视觉上将商店与河流联系在一起，这在泰国文化中具有特殊意义。”

“玻璃表面突出了周围环境的自然美，同时创造了开放、通风的氛围，模糊了室内外的界限。”

巨大的悬挑屋顶内衬着木板，由四根柱子支撑，创造了苹果商店典型的宽敞、开放的室内空间。

"The design provides a direct visual connection to the river, which has a special significance in Thai culture," said Foster + Partners.

"Glass surfaces accentuate the natural beauty of its surroundings while creating an open, airy atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior."

A large overhanging roof lined with timber panels is supported by just four columns, creating the spacious, open-plan interior typical of Apple Stores.

球状花盆中种着着成排的本地乔木，它们送三地分布在开放式的空间中，该设计由Foster + Partners事务所构思，作为室外广场上茂密制备的延续。

成排的树木巧妙地划分了由轻便木制工作台和凳子组成的区域，这些组合既可以作为服务台，也可以用来产品展示。

该空间的中心是一片工作区域，由一组可移动的立方体凳子形成，这些凳子兼作储藏室。当不使用时，可以整齐地排放在屏幕后面。

建筑顶部还有一座屋顶花园，为科技商店提供了另一个视角和活动空间。

Loose partitions in the open-plan space are defined by rows of local trees planted in bulbous pots, designed by Foster + Partners to act as a continuation of the greenery on the plaza outside.

The divisions created by the trees are subtly differentiated with a mix of light, wooden workbenches and stools that double as help stations and product displays.

Central to the space is a workshop area, defined by a set of moveable cube-shaped stools that double as storage. These can be neatly assembled behind the screen when not in use.

There is also a roof garden on the top of the building that provides another viewpoint and activity space for the tech store.

Foster + Partners事务所设计了所有最新的苹果商店。Iconsiam苹果商店并不是第一家使用植物点缀商店的公司。

在伦敦摄政街（Regent Street）商店最近的一次翻修中，设计师引入了可折叠成座椅的植满树木的花盆，而最近在中国澳门完工的商店则使用了穿过中庭的竹笋。
