5.-LYFE-Bakery
深圳
A storefront facade precedent by Projject combining folding glass panels with weathered masonry and tile, demonstrating an active, porous street edge for a bakery.
- What we like about this project
- The motion blur of a pedestrian and dog in the foreground emphasizes the active street life directly outside the static threshold.

- Geometry
- Low-rise storefront elevation featuring an asymmetrical composition of rustic brick piers, exposed concrete lintels, and a prominent upper band of small square tiles.
- Facade system
- Combination of punched brick openings and folding glass storefront system beneath a tiled upper facade.
- Structural guess
- Post-and-beam concrete frame with non-structural masonry infill walls.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story commercial storefront at human scale, inviting pedestrian interaction.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight with a soft cast over the street-facing threshold and warm interior illumination.
- Atmosphere
- Inviting and textured, balancing raw industrial materials with warm indoor activity.
- Environmental context
- Urban sidewalk context with passing pedestrians and trees visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The storefront dissolves the boundary between street and interior via folding glass panels and a raised concrete threshold acting as an informal seating edge.
- Composition rhythm
