架构师提供的文本描述。这种对一家具公司的干预，使现有设施具有校园特色，以庆祝该公司与其家乡的透明关系。成立于1944年，该公司塑造了自己的使命，提供一个伟大的地方工作和对待每个人-雇员，客户，供应商，股东和社会-尊重。然而，该公司的设施，横跨市中心的主要入口，已挤塞成不透明的仓库，缝合服务桥梁。这些建筑物展示了该镇的主干道，有一个由无窗墙、通风百叶窗和波纹钢组成的压抑的峡谷。

Text description provided by the architects. This intervention for a furniture company instils existing facilities with a campus identity celebrating the company’s transparent relationship with its hometown. Founded in 1944, the company moulded itself on a mission to provide a great place to work and treat everyone—employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and the community—with respect. However, the company’s facilities, which straddle downtown’s main entry, had congested into opaque warehouses stitched with service bridges. The buildings presented the town’s main thoroughfare with an oppressive canyon of windowless walls, ventilation louvres, and corrugated steel.

在杂乱无章的环境中，公司看到了一个机会，可以重新调整自己的理想，为市中心提供一个合适的城市门户。夷为平地的两个仓库打开了一个广场的轴线与公司的历史总部。在其余仓库的切口上，通过提供一扇通往公司心脏的窗户，传达了公司对透明度的信念。砖结构最初是为了展示R而翻新的

Amidst the clutter, the company saw an opportunity to re-align with its ideals and provide downtown a fitting urban gateway. Razing two warehouses opens a plaza on axis with the company’s historical headquarters. Glazing the incision on the remaining warehouses communicates the company’s belief in transparency by providing a window into the corporation’s heart. The brick structures initially renovated to showcase R&D, have been adopted as the new HQ. Original materials re-appear throughout, from wall finishes to furniture to stair treads.

玻璃输送机桥梁将建筑放大到城市设计中。它们的突出了连续输送器通过建筑群向配送中心蜿蜒而行的价值。作为制造商的命脉，在施工过程中，如果皮带断线，将在财政上造成灾难性的后果。严格的排序改变了它的路线，平衡了经验和生产力。经过一些外科手术的修改，曾经是一种表面上没有生气的机制，现在以表现力的方式将校园组织起来，并以动感的方式激活校园-以及进入市中心-与公司的运营流程保持一致。

Glazed conveyor bridges amplify the architecture into urban design. Their prominence underscores the value of the continuous conveyor snaking through the complex to the distribution centre. As the manufacturer’s lifeblood, it would have been financially disastrous for the belt to disconnect during construction. Rigorous sequencing rerouted its course, balancing experience with productivity. With a few surgical modifications, what was once an outwardly inert mechanism now expressively knits the campus, kinetically activating it—and the entry to downtown—with the company’s operational flow.
