简单的中国古代语言有一个词"轻松"，它具有内部自我救济的分离意义，以及对外界物质的接受，这不仅意味着无所作为的倒退，而且也意味着洞察力的侵略性。

Ease Chinese ancient language has the word "ease", which has a detached meaning of inside self-relief, as well as an acceptance of outside matter, and which not only implies the retreat of inaction, but also the aggressiveness for insight.

建筑师的工作看起来并不那么容易，而他要创造一个让人感到轻松的地方：第一是关于这个地方，它有自己的上下文，在这个地方你建造了一个房子，你应该尊重使这个地方变得美好的地方。第二个是人，他有自己的感觉，而对于你建造房子的人来说，你应该看看是什么让他感觉到了。最后就是你自己。只要设计是无私的，你就可以轻松地保持一颗心，感觉、思考、探索和让它走。把你的脚放在心碎的领域里，然后再建造。

The work of an architect doesn`t seem so easy ,while he is to create the place that makes one feel at ease:vThe first is about the place, which has its own context, and in which you build a house, you should respect what makes the place wonderful. The second is about human, who has his own sense, and for whom you build a house, you should see what makes him feel at ease.The last is yourself. You can hold one heart with ease, only if the design is selfless. To feel, think, explore and let it go. Set your foot in the field of heartlessness, then build.

我们的网站上有一个旧的仓库和一个空的停车场，客户想把它变成一个西餐厅，里面有酒窖，还有一家中国餐厅。Dormers，80年代预制屋面板，吊车梁和起重机随几种大树--桉树和泡桐一起在一起。

An old warehouse and a vacant lot stay in our site where the client wants to transform into a western restaurant with wine cellar as well as a Chinese restaurant. Dormers, prefabricated roof panels from 80s, crane beams and hoists fade in time along with several large trees-- eucalyptus and paulownia.

设计最终采用了谦逊与整合的策略。保留原厂房的风格和结构。新建厂房采用砖砌体模式，“让步”原结构，形成自己的支撑结构体系。

The design eventually adopted a strategy of humility and integration. Retaining the original style and structure of the factory building. The new part of the factory building adopts the brick masonry model, "concession" the original structure, and forms its own support structure system.

避开树木，砖楼本身产生的外部空间应与周围工业时代的气氛融为一体。相同的砖结构。和自由形式的"产量"树。以实现建筑与自然的和谐统一。

Avoid the tree The external space created by the brick building itself should be integrated with the atmosphere of the surrounding industrial era. The same brick structure. And in a free form, "yield" trees that are freely distributed. To achieve harmony and unity between architecture and nature.

Windows facing west are cancelled since their noisy surrounds. Brickworks ensures that the new form still got the old-time smell.

酒窖的地下位置，使我们没有地方为展览，我们必须创造一个室外空间。走廊使新的空间自然地连接到内部空间，而不会破坏任何旧的结构，并留下一个大家都能看到的连接空间。

Wine cellar`s underground location leaves us no place for the exhibition that We have to create an outdoor space. Corridors make the new space connected to inside space naturally without breaking any old structure and leave the old hoist a joint space that everyone can see it.
