架构师提供的文本描述。在两条繁忙的街道的拐角处，一座新的共管公寓下的一个自用储藏室，100 Broadview是多伦多东端一座平淡无奇、相当笨拙的砖块和梁式建筑。对于这座建筑的改造，房地产投资和开发集团Hullmark聘请了四合院建筑师，目标是创建一个方便和有吸引力的游说机构，以新经济租户为目标。为了吸引预期的人口，Hullmark想要在年级上做出大胆的声明-这将把100 Broadview划分为一个创意中心。

Text description provided by the architects. A self-storage facility beneath a new condominium at the corner of two busy streets, 100 Broadview was an unremarkable and rather awkward brick and beam building in Toronto's east end. For this building’s transformation, real estate investment and development group Hullmark engaged Quadrangle Architects with the goal of creating an accessible and attractive lobby, targeting new-economy tenants. To entice the intended demographic, Hullmark wanted to make a bold statement at grade—something that would demarcate 100 Broadview as a creative hub.

除了布罗德维的虚拟隐身之外，它也是无法进入的：入口被拒绝直接、无障碍地进入，迫使进入者爬几英尺到“底层”或下降几步到较低的水平。走廊缺乏路标或路标，造成更多的混乱和令人沮丧的租赁。

Beyond 100 Broadview's virtual invisibility, it was also inaccessible: the entryway denied direct, barrier-free access, forcing entrants to climb a few feet to the "ground floor" or descend a few steps to the lower level. Hallways lacked signage or wayfinding, creating further confusion and discouraging tenancy.

四合院的这项设计的任务是提升百视大厦的潜力和历史，赋予它当代精神，不仅将它转变成一个有吸引力的，精心设计的空间，而且是一个充满活力的邻里中心，同时提供了一个明智的投资房地产长期。

Quadrangle’s mandate for this design was to upgrade 100 Broadview by embracing the building’s potential and history, infusing it with a contemporary spirit that would not only transform it into an attractive, well-designed space, but also a vibrant, neighbourhood hub while providing a wise investment in the property for the long-term.

四合院的解决方案始于大厅入口上方悬挂着一个明亮的橙色标志，与红色的砖墙和灰色的灰泥外墙形成鲜明对比，赋予了这栋建筑一个身份，并清楚地标明了入口。他们的重大举措是切断楼板，将大部分地面建筑改造成一个戏剧性的游说团。他们设计了一个向下曲折的混凝土坡道，将使用者吸引到上下两层，有深度和运动感。与坡道相交的是向下的楼梯，上面有橙色的可视带，还有一个带木头踏板的黑色钢楼梯向上延伸。这些元素重叠，创造了一个质感和宏伟的入口的建筑物。

Quadrangle’s solution starts with a bright orange sign hanging above the lobby entrance, contrasting with the red brick and grey mortar façade, giving the building an identity and clearly marking the entrance. Their big move was to cut out the slab and transform the lion’s share of the ground level into a dramatic lobby. They designed a concrete ramp that zigzags downwards, drawing users to both the upper and basement levels with a sense of depth and movement. Intersecting the ramp are stairs downwards, marked with orange visibility strips, and a blackened steel staircase with wood treads leads upwards. These elements overlap, creating a textured and grand entrance to the building.

这支队伍拆除了楼板和代之而来的充满活力的大厅，给这个曾经不确定的空间注入了新的活力。这种平衡的工业元素，诱人的温暖和动态的色彩，定义了一个入口，欢迎创造性和创新的思想，以及聚集和休息。功能坡道为移动设备的用户提供了一条道路，而明亮的颜色为那些有视觉障碍的人提供了高对比度的路径，100 Broadview展示了通用设计是如何超越单纯的可访问性的。

The team's demolition of the floor plate and the dynamic lobby created in its stead have given new life to this once ill-defined space. This balance of industrial elements, inviting warmth and dynamic colour define an entryway that welcomes creative and innovative thought, as well as congregation and rest. With the feature ramp creating a path for users of mobility devices and the bright colours producing high-contrast pathways for those with visual impairments, 100 Broadview demonstrates how universal design goes beyond mere accessibility.
