An abstract landscape drawn from a series of circles and curves are divided into two main sections, Kids Winshare is a composite bookstore targets at kids aged from 0-12 that combines 4 essential programs including shopping, teaching & learning, dining and socializing, all in one space.

In the 1st section, visitors encounter an open-plan ‘bookscape’ organized through a series of spiraling bookshelf units in white and yellow, shaped to display a flow of text & picture books for different ages incorporated with cozy reading pods to provide self-discovery opportunity for parents & kids. These oval shaped transparent reading pods also act as visual openings of the shop front.

In the 2nd section, a dome-shaped theater integrating 360-degree projections created an immersive environment for interactive learning, lecture, book-launch event and kids party for members. The dome is surrounded by multi-functional classrooms for kids and an all-day family restaurant allowing parents to find their favorite space to relax, read, chat with friends or take part in the cooking workshop. The semi-open classrooms in yellow and baby-blue are planned to remove the barrier between kids and teachers and replaced with a sociable environment that is both stimulating and calm.
