架构师提供的文本描述。吴氏总部位于天津，楼高3.5米，建筑面积约3000平方米。这一项目的性质是对20世纪90年代末建造的一座商业旅馆-现有建筑进行翻修。其正式的经营模式和建筑形式与城市变革模式相冲突，需要新的适应功能。

Text description provided by the architects. The headquarter of Woo is located in Tianjin, with a floor height of 3.5 meters and an area of about 3,000 square meters. The nature of this project is the renovation of the existing building, which was a commercial hotel built in the late 1990s. Its formal business operation mode and architectural form have been in conflict with the pattern of urban change, which in needs of new adapted functions.

传统的服务业商业模式向后工业模式转变，加强了个性化、民营化和场景创造。一方面，这一趋势使设计更加专注于质量。另一方面，它需要灵活的空间。在此背景下，吴空间公司将原商务酒店空间指定为合作办公场所，使其更符合社会发展的总体环境、工作、消费和活动的需求。

As the traditional service industry business model turns to a more flexible post-industrial one, it strengthens the individualization, privatization and scene creation. On the one hand, this trend allows more dedicated quality in design. On the other hand, it requires the space with flexibility. In this context, Woo Space Company designated the original commercial hotel space into a co-working office, so as to make it more in line with the overall environment of social development, the demands of working, consumption and activities.

这座建筑的最初设计是三层长方形和两层弧形体积的组合。除了保留形式的结构外，还增加了一个矩形的两层悬臂结构.这种新增加的矩形体积变化不仅创造了空间扩展，而且有助于减少两种形式的原始建筑之间的隔离感。在两个入口空间中采用同样的方法，即增加两个扩展的矩形树冠。

The original design of the building was a combination of a three-story rectangular and a two-story arc volume. In addition to the retaining the formal structure, a rectangular two-story cantilever structure was added. This newly added rectangular volume change not only creates spatial expansion, but also helps to reduce the sense of isolation between the two forms of the original building. Same method is used in two entrance spaces, namely, to add two extended rectangular canopy.

虽然建筑师保留了原有的基本结构，为了更好地适应人类的规模，他把立面从正式的大砌块花岗岩变成了红砖砌体。通过空心砖砌体，增加了光、影的作用，形成了一种模糊半透明界面。建筑物内的活动模糊地映射到外部的城市环境中。

While the architect retains the original basic structure, to better fit the human scale, he changes the facade into a red brick masonry from the formal big block granite. Through hollow-out brick masonry, the effect of light and shadow is increased, and a kind of fuzzy semi-transparent interface is created. The activities inside the building are vaguely mapped to the external urban environment.

作为主要的空间语言，方形和圆圈被不断地应用于外部和内部空间。室内公共场所是靠窗边的大门入口处，圆形空间是最大的讨论区，可以容纳10人头脑风暴的需要。边界有一条外部走廊，连接各区域的开放车间和中小型会议和休息区。

As the major spatial language, square and circle are continually applied to external and interior space. The interior public place is by the window on the side of the entry of the main entrance, the circular space is the largest discussion area, which can accommodate the needs of 10 people's brain storming. There is an external corridor at the boundary, which connects the open workshop in each area and the small and medium-sized meeting and resting areas.

原有的建筑空间并没有很大的高度优势，但它仍试图通过小的夹层设计提高空间的利用率和空间体验感。例如，圆形会议室的上部具有Tatami垫的空间，走廊顶部的睡眠箱成为办公室的私人和放松空间。

The original building space does not have much height advantage, but it still tries to improve the utilization rate of space and the sense of space experience through small interlayer design. For example, the upper part of the circular meeting room has the space of tatami mat, and the sleeping box at the top of the corridor becomes the private and relaxation space in the office.

采用环保秸秆板快速施工，创造了不同的功能模块，包括咖啡厅、健身房、路演厅、睡箱等功能，连接社区办公资源，从工作、游戏到合作和讨论需求。他们被点式吊灯照亮，以创造一种冥想的气氛，以加强相互作用和共同工作的动力特点。

Using environmental - friendly straw board for rapid construction creates different functional modules, including Café, gym, road show hall, sleeping box and other functions to link to community office resources, from work, games to cooperation and discussion demands. They are illuminated by point chandeliers to create a meditated atmosphere, to enhance the interaction and the characteristics of the co-working dynamics.
