一花一世界,一語一天堂,不同的書帶給人不同的感悟。若拿酒店與書作類比,有的包裝精致,有的標(biāo)題吸睛,而有的,看似簡單卻值得一讀。位于蘇梅島的圖書館酒店(The Library)就是這樣一本好書。從名字到設(shè)計(jì),從格調(diào)到服務(wù),大多數(shù)的住店客人在嘖嘖稱奇酒店風(fēng)格獨(dú)特的同時,不覺間感受到了度假的幸福。酒店擁有者Kasemtham Sornsong曾這樣形容自家酒店:“隨著時間的流逝,許多事物都會改變。但圖書館酒店不會,它是一部永不過時的不朽之作?!焙我匀绱诵判臐M滿?且待我們細(xì)細(xì)翻閱。
To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a 'book'. If you compare hotels to books, some books have exquisite packaging, some have eye-catching titles, while others are seemingly simple but worth reading. Located in Koh Samui, Thailand, The Library is such a good book. From the name to the design, from the style to the service, most visitors staying in the hotel are always amazed at the unique style, while feeling the holiday happiness. \"As time passes, many things will change, but the book is immortal,\" says Mr. Kasemtham Sornsong, Owner and Managing Director of The Library. Maybe we will understand why he says so after reading this\"book\".
簡約的酒店,簡單的幸福
Simple Hotel, Simple Happiness
2007年開業(yè)的圖書館酒店是一間位于查武恩海灘中心地帶的抽象主義酒店。酒店主人Sornsong先生本身就是當(dāng)?shù)刂脑O(shè)計(jì)師,在眾多國際連鎖酒店遍布蘇梅島的今天,Sornsong先生一直想打造一間能與其抗衡的本土酒店。這與另一位當(dāng)?shù)卦O(shè)計(jì)師Tirawan Songsawat女士的想法不謀而合,熱愛讀書的Songsawat女士認(rèn)為,一個好的假期最不可缺少的就是一本可以隨身攜帶的好書。當(dāng)他們在命運(yùn)的安排下偶然相遇時,思想的火花碰撞發(fā)酵,秉持著對讀書的熱愛和“簡單即美好”的生活哲學(xué),他們用最為質(zhì)樸的紅、棕、白、黑四色,配以藍(lán)天碧海;用時尚簡約的氣息配以古樸書香,打造了這間泰國最新潮的設(shè)計(jì)酒店。
酒店地處鬧市卻顯得極為寧靜安逸,其秘訣除了采用郁郁蒼蒼的古樹隔開噪音,酒店本身自帶的“書香”氣息想必也建功不小。一進(jìn)大門,入口處的白色人偶盤腿而坐,聚精會神地看著手中的書。在名為“目錄”的大堂登記過后,走進(jìn)酒店內(nèi)部,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的人偶隨處可見。無論是巨大的樹蔭,還是柔軟潔白的沙灘,他們或站立,或倚靠,或平躺,仿佛在以各種舒服愜意的姿勢告訴人們:來吧,到這里靜聽習(xí)習(xí)海風(fēng)吹過棕櫚葉,感受清澈見底的海水沒過金色沙灘,再讀上幾頁好書,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)度假旅行中最簡單的幸福。

Based on their love of reading and the philosophy of life that \"simple is beautiful\", they decided to employ the 4 simplest colors,red, brown, white and black, to match the blue sky and the vast sea. With the chic minimalist feel on the one hand,and the guileless bookish atmosphere on the other, the most modern design hotel of Thailand was born.
The Library is a stunning conceptual hotel located at the heart of Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui, Thailand. Being a local resident of Koh Samui, Mr. Sornsong has learned that the island has been overcome by foreign hotel chain companies and oversea investors in the past 10 years. The project was shaped by the hands of an island local who was inspired by books and a simple lifestyle philosophy. Based on their love of reading and the philosophy of life that \"simple is beautiful\", they decided to employ the 4 simplest colors,red, brown, white and black, to match the blue sky and the vast sea. With the chic minimalist feel on the one hand,and the guileless bookish atmosphere on the other, the most modern design hotel of Thailand was born.
Although located in downtown, the hotel is in harmony surrounded by gray old trees. At the entrance, a white puppet sitting cross-legged, attentively reading a book. Through the registration hall named \"Content\" into the hotel interior, you will find this kind of doll everywhere. Whether it is a huge shade, the \"Red Pool\" or soft white beaches, they stand, or lean on, or lie down, as if in a variety of comfortable relaxing positions, to tell people: Come here to listen to the sea breeze blowing through the palm leaves, feel the crystal clear waters above the golden sands, read a few pages of books, and you'll find the most simple happiness for a holiday.
假期中的心靈牧場
A Vacation for the Mind
翻過“目錄”,來到酒店的主體建筑——圖書館。相較于平日里所見到的圖書館,玻璃搭建的館內(nèi)空間純凈,更似一處藝術(shù)展覽館。大落地窗設(shè)計(jì)引入窗外大量的綠色,亦讓看書的人隨時感受蘇梅島的海風(fēng)輕拂。樓頂?shù)穆短扉喿x區(qū)更有360度無敵海景。蘸著書香欣賞美景,對于平日里手不釋卷的文人來說,似乎已是頂級的享受。更不用提那些由酒店主人精心收集的大量電影DVD和音樂CD所帶來的全方位視聽盛宴了。
The theme building of The Library is named The Lib, with its impressive collection of books to leaf through and an array of DVD movies and music CDs of various genres to enjoy. Minimalist alabaster-white interiors, coupled with stunning views of the sea and The Red Pool provide a picture-perfect backdrop to an afternoon of light reading and relaxed entertainment.
今晚,你想閱讀哪一頁?
Which Page Do You Want to Read Tonight?
如果你認(rèn)為圖書館酒店內(nèi)有一間圖書館,那就大錯特錯了。就像她的名字一樣,其實(shí)整間酒店就是一間圖書館,她能給你帶來的不僅僅是藏書的數(shù)量與種類,更是適合讀書的場所與氛圍。除了隨處可見的草坪,沙灘等公共區(qū)域,情調(diào)各異的房間也是理想的閱讀場所。
整個酒店共有26個形式獨(dú)特的房間。每個房間都用大大的圖案從“第一頁”(Page1)到“第26頁”(Page26)分別標(biāo)識出來。打開房門,極白,沒有過多華麗的裝飾,簡約的風(fēng)格代表了整個酒店的時尚觀念。床和電視分立于臥室的兩側(cè),桌椅緊挨于窗口。這種“減法設(shè)計(jì)”把不必要的筆畫抹去,還原空間,加之紅白黑三色的強(qiáng)烈對比,讓住在這里的客人,似乎連心都不自覺地敞開了許多。陽臺上的兩張?zhí)梢?,似乎在盛情邀約著讀書愛好者們趕緊去坐一坐。除了擁有無敵的海景,每個房間旁邊都有精心種植和保護(hù)的古老樹木延伸而出,為在陽臺上閱讀書籍的客人帶來一抹碧綠和安寧。

The entire hotel is a library, not only does it have a surprising number of books, it is also abundant with reading spaces.
During the stay, you will find that , the entire hotel is a library. Not only does it have a surprising number of books, it is also abundant with reading spaces. In addition to the ubiquitous public lawn areas, beaches, etc., all the rooms with different atmosphere are all ideal places to read in.
The entire hotel has a total of 26 unique rooms. Each room has a big pattern from Page1 to Page26 individually identified. The room is not too ornate, just very white. The minimalist style represents the entire concept of hotel fashion. Throughout the bedroom, you find only a bed, a TV and a table and chairs. This \"design subtraction\" erases unnecessary strokes and redeems the space, coupled with the strong color contrast of red and black, opening the hearts of the staying guests. And on the balcony are two chairs, just a kind invitation of reading enthusiasts. In addition to the ocean, each room provides guests with a glimpse of age-old trees, which are lovingly preserved and now part of the complex.
設(shè)計(jì)師Tirawan Songsawat女士曾這樣評價自己對蘇梅島圖書館酒店的感觸:“(酒店)簡約的裝潢并不意味著沒有設(shè)計(jì)感,就如同真正的幸福一樣,她隨處可見,只是不易發(fā)覺。生活中的基本設(shè)施和大自然資源的搭配已經(jīng)十分完美,不需要我們再去做過多的修飾。我們需要的,只是一些時間和空間,來感受、發(fā)覺和珍惜這類美好。”對于那些鐘愛蘇梅島圖書館的人來說,亦是這樣,無需去刻意追求些什么,只要有一個安逸的地兒,靜靜坐下小讀一會兒便好。
\"Simple décor (of the hotel) doesn't mean there is no design. Real happiness is simple if we know how to see it. Basic things in life and existing natural resources are valuable more than what is apparent. We need only time and space to feel, touch and treasure it.\" This came from Tirawan Songsawat, designer of the Library Koh Samui, describing how she feels about the design of the hotel. For the fans of The Library Koh Samui, this is pretty much the same. The Library Koh Samui is able invoke people's lust for text on the road.
