市场的历史和地区传统为现代办公大楼的设计提供了基础，将过去和现在联系在一起。在土地分配最大化的情况下，这座14层楼高的建筑优雅地坐落在市场对面的一块角落里。

The market’s history and regional traditions informed the design for a contemporary office building, connecting past and present. Maximising the land allocation, the slim 14-floor building sits elegantly on a corner plot opposite the market.

它被抑制的单色外观起到了抵消市场不间断活动的色彩缤纷的狂热的作用。立面框架的作用超越了装饰。它不断创造不同的气氛，过滤进来的光线，并在室内空间形成阴影。

Its restrained monochromatic appearance acts as a counterbalance to the colourful frenzy of the market’s nonstop activity. The role of the facades frames extends beyond decoration. It continuously creates different atmospheres, filtering incoming light and making shadows across the interior spaces.

建筑物与周围环境的关系反映了时间的流逝，日以继夜的变化。白天，立面材料反射太阳光，夜间，建筑内部发光，向市场及其他地方展示其独特的立面模式。

The relationship between the building and its surroundings reflects the passing of time, changing from day to night. During the day the facade material reflects the sun light, whereas in the night, the building glows from within, revealing its characteristic facade pattern to the market and beyond.
