架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于上海苏州河北岸。该地区曾经是殖民时期上海的工业发动机，如今正经历着一个前所未有的、有争议的转型过程。在这个过程中，原有城市结构中与仓库和工业文物交织在一起的“地毯”，与它们所代表的记忆一起被取消，取而代之的是高层住宅和写字楼。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in Shanghai, on the North bank of the Suzhou Creek. The area, once the vibrating industrial engine of the colonial Shanghai, is today undergoing an unprecedented and controversial process of transformation, where consistent portions of the original urban fabric, 'carpets' of shikumen intertwined with warehouses and industrial artifacts, are being cancelled together with the memory they represent, replaced by high rise residential and office towers.

仓库是20世纪早期英国生产和储存纺织品的设施，也是该城工业史上为数不多的见证之一。它超常规的规模，6000平方米的三层楼，以及它的非凡的保护状态，使它被列为保护的工业遗产。为了生存，这座建筑必须重新利用新的功能，在技术上进行升级，并转变成灵活的商业和办公空间，重新调整为一种从根本上改变和不同于原来属于的环境。

The warehouse, an early 20 Century British facility for the production and the stock of textiles is among the few testimonies of the industrial history of the city still standing in the area. Its unconventionally big scale, 6000m2 on three floors, and its remarkable state of conservation had it a listed as a protected industrial heritage. In order to survive, the building had to be repurposed to new functions, technologically upgraded and transformed into flexible commercial and office spaces, readapted to a context radically transformed and different from the one it originally belonged to.

建筑翻新项目是一个进程的第一阶段，将包括所有公共区域和未来租户内部的部分设计，是精心设计的严格养护和创新解决方案的组合。

The architectural renovation project, first phase of a process that will include the design of all common areas and part of the future tenants' interiors, was devised as a careful mix of rigorous conservation and innovative solutions. 

建筑物的原始纹理经过仔细的调查、清洗、删除非原始添加物、修复损坏或丢失的部分而重新出现，总是可逆的，并且与原结构不同。

The original textures of the building resurfaced though a careful process of survey, cleaning,  removal of non original additions, reconstruction of damaged or lost parts, always reversible and distinguishable from the original.

内部循环被重新设计在主中庭周围，覆盖着一个闪闪发光的玻璃屋顶。轻型钢结构阳台，从旧砖墙正面悬挑而来，绕着空隙盘旋，将入口与上层楼层连接起来。玻璃雕塑表面覆盖着中庭，以统一的姿态分解屋顶和立面，并以一层木覆盖的天篷结束，而新的主入口就位于这座建筑的顶棚下。

The internal circulation was redesigned around the main atrium, covered by a shimmering glass roof. The light steel-structure balcony, cantilevering from the old brick facade, spirals around the void, connecting the entrance to the upper floors.  A sculptural surface of glass encloses the atrium, resolving roofing and facade with a unifying gesture and terminating in a wood clad canopy under which the new main access to the building is located.

在这两个玻璃的中庭下，过去和现在聚集在一起，都要求他们的表达权利。这两种语言在一个连贯和平衡的整体中相辅相成。

Under these two glazed atriums past and present come together, both claiming their rights to expression. The two languages complement each others  in a coherent and balanced whole.
