架构师提供的文本描述。位于长沙芙蓉中路的17层烟花大厦，曾是原湖南国有鞭炮职工宿舍。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on Middle Furong Road, Changsha, the 17-storey Firework Mansion used to be the dormitory building for staff of the former state-owned Hunan Firecrackers & Fireworks Import and Export Company. The company spared no expense to build this mansion and poured the whole building structure with concrete. Nowadays, young people have moved out of this mansion, so those left are mostly retired elderly people.

大楼顶层有一套面积60平方米的小两居室公寓.一旦昂贵，完整的剪力墙结构形成了一个轻密的环境，房间之间，公寓和外部。即使在白天，室内也是昏暗的，客厅根本没有灯光。业主们想把这套公寓改建成一家庭书店，并把它命名为“林场”，他们希望为烟火大厦的居民提供一个好去处。

There is a small 60 m2 two-bedroom apartment on the top floor of the building. The once high-expense complete shear wall structure forms a light tight environment between the rooms and between the apartment and the outside. Even in daytime, the interior is dim and the living room has no light at all. The owners want to transfer this apartment into a family bookstore, and name it “Reedom”.They wish to provide a good place to go for the residents in Firework Mansion.

这间小公寓没有提供阅读环境的资格。我们尽量扩大外墙上的窗户，在每个实心墙上开几个洞，让光线和视力通过。同时，将空间分割成单独的房间，可以成为一个完整的整体。房子里的洞也是自然通风的。

The small apartment is not qualified to provide environment for reading. We enlarge the window on the outer wall as much as possible; open several holes on each solid wall inside, to let the light and eyesight pass. Meanwhile, the space divided into separate rooms can become an integrated whole. Holes inside the house also invite in natural draught.

房间很小。我们决定采取一种不利的方式，把它们变成较小的，并为阅读创造一个更真诚、更集中的环境。于是，我们把书架和隔间放在已经很小的起居室和卧室里。为了节省空间，我们想把这些洞当作桌子。

The rooms are small. We decide to go the adverse way to change them into smaller ones and create a more sincere and concentrated environment for reading. Thus, we placed bookcases and partitions in the already small living room and bedrooms. To save space, we’d like to use the holes as desks.

这样，我们就可以得到许多迷你阅览室，具有相互连接的光线，视力和空气，同时确保隐私。阳台成为最独特的阅读场所，打开窗户时有良好的城市景观和柔和的微风。

In this way, we get many mini reading rooms with interlinked light, eyesight and air, while ensuring privacy. The balcony becomes a most unique place for reading, with a good city view and soft breeze when opening the window.

我们曾经想过在屋顶上打开一个天窗。然而，由于各种原因，最终中止了该计划。最后，我们在客厅扩大了一扇窗户。利用屋顶平台的一角作为书店的延伸部分，面对阳台和阳台的窗户，形成了屋顶的微型环境。我们和邻居建立了很好的关系。同时，我们正在为他们设计更好的设施，以便在屋顶上干燥衣服和腌萝卜。

We once thought about open a scuttle on the roof. However, the plan was finally aborted due to various reasons. In the end, we enlarged a window in the living room. Using a corner of the rooftop platform as the extension of the bookstore, to face it and window of the balcony, a rooftop miniature environment is formed. We have built very good relations with the neighbors. Meanwhile, we are designing better facilities for them to dry clothes and pickled radish on the rooftop.

我们希望最终把这个地区建设成一个适合整个社区的好地方。

We hope to finally build the area into a good place to go for the whole community.

大楼的电梯大厅有一个圆形的窗户，它只对着院子的外窗。于是我们把招牌“Reedom”放在外面，贴上了商标。从一个特定的角度来看，标志在链接到招牌上的单词时会形成其他单词。同时，我们选择了一个空间，并将书店的QR代码打印在原建筑物的马赛克外墙上。代码可以从存储区的某个角度进行扫描。

The elevator hall of the building has a round window, which just face the outer windows of the Reedom. So we placed the signboard “Reedom” outside it and pasted the logo on it. Seeing from a specific angle, the logo forms other words when linked to the words on the signboard. Meanwhile, we chose a space and printed the QR code of the bookstore onto the former mosaic outer wall of the building.. The code can be scanned from some angle in the store.
