架构师提供的文本描述。建于1924年由C.F.Meadors和最初的科莫酒店，这座具有历史意义的金色砖块浮雕矗立在一起长达27年之久。20年来，我们一直在等待使这一角落发挥其全部潜力的机会。我们相信这个拐角处应该是一座持久建筑的遗址，是俄克拉荷马市区东门的一盏灯笼。该项目包括翻修两层平顶建筑和建造一个现代化的，但免费的屋顶加设。

Text description provided by the architects. Built in 1924 by C.F. Meadors and originally the Como Hotel, this historic blond brick flatiron stood vacant and boarded up for 27 years. We have been waiting for 20 years for the opportunity to bring this corner to its full potential. We believe this corner should be the site of an enduring building, a lantern at the east gateway to downtown Oklahoma City. The project includes the renovation of the two-level flatiron building and the construction of a modern, yet complimentary rooftop addition.

“扁平化”这个词起源于1740年左右，描述了铸铁服装铁，电熨斗的前身。大多数都是三角形的，因此更容易在纽扣周围熨烫。到了19世纪中叶，这个词被认为是楔形的遗址和建筑物。1902年，曼哈顿的弗拉蒂伦大厦(最初的富勒大厦)在第23街和百老汇都很有名。在美国各地的城市里，人们都在追求标志性的佛拉蒂龙建筑，这说明了它的纯洁性。稳定和力量。

The “flatiron” term originated around 1740, describing a cast-iron clothes iron, forerunner to the electric iron. Most were triangular, making it easier to iron around buttons.  By the mid-19th century, the term had been ascribed to wedge-shaped sites and buildings.  The 1902 Flatiron Building in Manhattan (the original Fuller Building) at 23rd and Broadway made the shape famous.  Found in cities around the U.S., iconic flatiron architecture is sought-after and illustrates purity, stability and strength.

该地区历史上的三角形建筑是在OKC的电动电车线路在一个世纪前被绘制之后不久建成的。哈里森-东北8号公路从百老汇以东的西北第4街到林肯以西的斯泰尔斯公园的第8街的对角线。四个幸存下来的历史三角形街区构成了城市新兴的弗拉蒂伦地区的核心。街车轨道在相邻的铁路立交桥下仍然清晰可见。改造了现有的两层建筑，并为1924年的一座平顶建筑增加了三分之一，成为医生和其他专业团体服务的保险公司PLICO的办公室。(鼓掌)

The area's historic triangular buildings were built soon after OKC's electric streetcar routes were drawn a century ago. The Harrison-NE 8 Route cut a diagonal path from NW 4th Street east of Broadway to NE 8th at Stiles Park, west of Lincoln. The four surviving historic triangular blocks form the core of the city’s emerging Flatiron district.  Streetcar tracks are still clearly visible under the adjacent railroad overpass. The renovation of the existing two-level and the addition of a third for a 1924 flatiron building into an office for PLICO, an insurance company serving physicians and other professional groups.

三楼将用于公司功能，包括董事会会议室、屋顶露台、厨房以及公司未来发展的空间。设计方法是使新的三楼成为现代特色，并对现有建筑进行尊重和补充。通过材料和挫折，三楼不同于现有的砖楼。与Flatiron建筑在形状、规模、颜色和细节上的关系。市中心天际线的壮观景观是罕见的。(鼓掌)

The third floor will be used for company functions including a boardroom, conference room, rooftop terrace, a kitchen and space for future growth of the company.  The design approach is to make the new third floor addition a modern feature and a respectful, complimentary addition to the existing building.  The third floor is differentiated from the existing brick building through materials and setbacks, and relates to the Flatiron building in shape, scale, color and detailing.  Spectacular views of the Downtown skyline are rare.
