萨拉伊瓦书店被设想为一个公共广场和图书馆的混合体，一个同时供人欢聚、休闲、集中和休息的地方。它的建筑是简单和诱人的，它的目的是消失在书的后面，让人们的思想在书的内容中徘徊。这是一个21世纪的空间，书籍和新媒体共享书架，需要高水平的布局灵活性。组织这些无数的信息而不创造一个单调的商店，与刺激人们在一个舒适的氛围中停留、阅读和互动一样，是一个挑战。
Saraiva Bookstore was conceived as a hybrid between a public square and a library, a place for conviviality, leisure, concentration and rest at the same time. Its architecture is simple and inviting, it aims to disappear behind the books to let the mind wander about their content. A 21st century space, books and new medias share the shelves, demanding a high level of layout flexibility. To organize this myriad of information without creating a monotonous store was as much a challenge as stimulating people to stay, read and interact in a cozy atmosphere.
该店位于里约的一个商场内，分为四层。参观者通过一个双层高度的空间进入，那里的书架和展柜似乎漂浮着，以突出书籍和物品。一些书架通过轨道悬挂起来，这样的布局可以适应不同的配置。陶瓷地板是专门为这家商店开发的，以使其更具反射性，并突出闪电效应。 每个空间都采用了巴西胡桃木；它是一个温暖的中性背景，适合各种颜色和质地的书籍和物品。
Located inside a mall in Rio, the store is divided into four floors. Visitors enter through a double height space, where shelves and showcases seem to float in order to highlight books and objects. Some shelves are suspended by rails so that the layout can accommodate different configurations. The ceramic floor was specifically developed for this store to be more reflexive and accentuate the lightning effect. Brazilian-walnut was employed in every space; it is a warm neutral backdrop for the variety of colors and textures of books and objects.
展示柜的设计使一本书不会突出其他的书，邀请参观者在多样化的书中漫步。不同高度的平台被指向不同主题的物品所占据。离地面较近的书架有这样一个倾斜度，使站着的人也能读到它们的书名。
Showcases were designed so a book would not outstand others, inviting visitors to stroll around the diversity of titles. Platforms of different heights are occupied by objects that refer to varied themes. The shelves closer to the floor have such an inclination that their titles can be read by a standing person.
扶手椅和长椅遍布整个书店。历史悠久的巴西设计项目，如保罗-门德斯-达罗查（Paulo Mendes da Rocha）的保利斯塔诺椅（Paulistano Chair）和塞里吉奥-罗德里格斯（Sérigio Rodrigues）的贝格（Beg）扶手椅，邀请读者忘记时间，享受他们的书籍。
Armchairs and ottomans are spread throughout the bookstore. Historical Brazilian design items, such as Paulistano Chair by Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Beg Armchair by Sérigio Rodrigues, invite readers to forget about time and enjoy their books.
多媒体空间、咖啡馆、礼堂和儿童空间都位于地下几层。灰色的色调突出了电子产品的内容，有机展示柜作为互动项目的支持。 在儿童房中，中立性被一个五彩缤纷的斜坡所打破，它邀请孩子们去探索那些按照他们的规模渲染空间的标题。梯形壁龛是对书店其他部分所采用的建筑语汇的俏皮诠释，为年轻人创造了一个与众不同的世界。
Multimedia spaces, a café, an auditorium and the children’s space are located in the basement floors. Gray tones highlight the electronics contents and organic showcases serve as a support for interactive items. In the children’s room neutrality is broken with a multicolored ramp that invites the kids to explore the titles rendering the space to their scale. Trapezoidal niches are a playful interpretation of the architectural vocabulary employed in the rest of the bookstore, creating a world apart for the youngsters.
