YJY Maike Centre Flagship bookstore in Xi’an

In an effort to bring the area’s rich culture and advanced science together, the YJY Maike Centre Flagship was born.

Located at the heart of the Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone, it serves as a luxury bookstore where people can immerse themselves in tales from all over the world.

The Maike Group project was helmed by Tomoko Ikegai of Japanese studio ikg inc., who themed the two floors – measuring 4,500m2 in total – around “Library & Gallery”, making it a quiet place to read and reflect, and a mini museum all at the same time.
