架构师提供的文本描述。阿什顿(旧)浴场是一座二级建筑，也是英国最早建造的市政游泳池之一。1870年由维多利亚人建造，主池厅具有大教堂般的质量，它的意大利烟囱是该镇内一个著名的地标。在20世纪70年代，浴缸关闭，过了很短一段时间，游泳池就被填满，用作储藏室。它已经空了40多年了，从那以后，它就一直在英国遗产公司的“濒危遗产”登记册上。这座建筑对阿什顿人来说是如此重要的当地地标，在重建过程开始之前，公众在街区周围排起长队，以重温他们童年时代的空间记忆。

Text description provided by the architects. Ashton (Old) Baths is a Grade II* listed building and one of the first ever municipal swimming pools to be built in the UK. Built by the Victorians in 1870 its Main Pool Hall has a cathedral-like quality and its Italianate chimney is an established landmark within the town. The baths closed in the 1970s and a short time afterwards the pool was filled in to be used as a storage space. It remained empty for over 40 years and has been on English Heritage’s ‘Heritage at Risk’ register ever since. The building is such an important local landmark to the people of Ashton, before the process of redevelopment began the general public queued around the block to relive their childhood memories of the space.

该项目获得了欧洲区域发展基金(EuropeanRegionalDevelopmentFund)100万英镑、泰美赛德理事会(Tameside Council)100万英镑和传统彩票基金170万英镑的支持赠款。商业孵化中心在其专门的运作结构方面的独特发展现在确保了浴室的长期未来。

The project was funded with support grants of £1m from the European Regional Development Fund, £1m from Tameside Council and £1.7m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The unique development of a business incubation centre along its dedicated operational structure has now secured the long term future of the baths..

MCAU与开发商PlaceFirst共同开发了一份简况，在一栋大楼内建造了一座新建筑。该大楼目前拥有该国最具创新性和创造性的商业办公空间之一，并保留了维多利亚时代最宏伟的游泳池的未来。第一期工程包括前主池厅及相关附属空间。第二期扩建工程目前正在进行，第三阶段将看到大楼附件部分的重新开发。

Together with developer PlaceFirst, MCAU developed a brief to deliver a new building within a building, which now houses one of the most innovative and inventive commercial office spaces in the country and has preserved the future of arguably the grandest example of a Victorian swimming baths. Phase 1 of the project involves the former Main Pool Hall and associated ancillary spaces. The Phase 2 Fit-Out Project is currently underway and Phase 3 will see the redevelopment of the annex portion of the building.

第一阶段完成的发展是一个新的办公场所，目标是创意和数字产业，并提供深色光纤宽带的高性能和孵化器服务，为新成立的公司。该建筑的外部已被完全修复和翻新，以保存维多利亚时代的遗产结构。

Phase 1 of the completed development is a new office premises aimed at creative and digital industries and offers dark fibre broadband for high performance and incubator services for new start-up companies. The listed exterior of the building has been completely restored and refurbished to preserve the Victorian heritage of the structure.

早期比较了现有的游泳池大厅

Early comparisons were made between the existing pool hall & gallery and large museum type spaces, where visitors can circulate, engaging with the existing building’s fabric as well as pieces of art / sculpture/ exhibitions.

一些文化和物理参考被认为是在概念阶段，如伟大的建筑创新首次使用维多利亚：伟大的展览在水晶宫和自然历史博物馆都建于19世纪50年代中期。

Several cultural and physical references were considered during the concept stage such the grand architectural innovations first used by the Victorians: the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace and the Natural History Museum both built in the mid 1850’s.

这座建筑的清单地位意味着，任何将这片广阔空间分割开来的强有力的建筑干预措施，都将对这座建筑的历史毫无同情心，而MCAU提出的解决方案则为商业空间提供了合适的用途，同时也保持了前主泳池大厅的空间质量。新的独立办公吊舱提供超过650平方米的四层办公空间，额外的会议室，突破空间，和一个新的屋顶露台。

The building’s listed status meant any strong architectural interventions dividing up the vast space would have been unsympathetic to the history of the building and the solution proposed by MCAU provides fit for purpose commercial spaces, whilst at the same time preserving the spatial quality of the former Main Pool Hall. The new self-contained, free-standing office pod provides over 650 sq m of office space over four floors, with additional meeting rooms, breakout spaces, and a new rooftop terrace.

该项目旨在加强历史因素，同时使建筑回到当代的工作环境。因此，历史和现代之间的对话是一个必不可少的前提。仔细考虑了新材料的兼容性，同时提供了与现有织物的明确区别。豆荚主要由胶合板和西方红杉木板组合而成。

The project is designed to enhance the historical elements whilst bringing the building back into the contemporary working environment. The dialogue between historical and modern was therefore an essential premise. Careful consideration was made to the compatibility of new materials, whilst providing a clear distinction with the existing fabric., and the pod is predominantly clad with a combination of plywood and western red cedar boards.

建筑形式是弯曲的，并从外部包络的内部表面，以保持意见，直至令人印象深刻的屋顶结构，现在可以从3楼屋顶露台详细观看。新的吊舱‘浮动’在地板到天花板的玻璃底层，保持直接的意见，通过空间，并反映了主池厅的最初用途。在一楼和二楼的办公空间内，大窗户可以从本来无法获得的高处看到原始的建筑细节，同时还通过现有华丽的外部窗户设计外部地标，例如附近的圣彼得斯教堂(St Peters Church)。

The building form is curved and pulls away from the internal face of the external envelope to preserve views up to the impressive roof structure, which can now be viewed in detail from the 3rd floor roof terrace. The new pod 'floats' on a floor–to-ceiling glazed ground floor maintaining immediate views through the space and reflects the original use of the Main Pool Hall. Within the first and second floor office spaces, large windows offer views of the original architectural details from heights otherwise unobtainable, whilst also framing external landmarks, such as the nearby St Peters Church, through the existing ornate external windows.

该建筑获得了BREEAM“非常好”的评价，是客户、项目合作伙伴、利益攸关方和社区之间强有力的关系和合作的典范展示，以挽救和确保一栋以前被遗弃的二级*上市建筑的工作前景。

The building achieved a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating and is an exemplary showcase of strong relationships and collaborations between the client, project partners, stakeholders and the community to save and secure a working future for a formerly derelict Grade II* listed building.
