架构师提供的文本描述。这个抽水站已经废弃多年了，在这个社区里一直很孤独。路过的人，从来没有意识到它的存在，甚至从来没有看过它。然而，斑驳的墙壁和野生藤蔓隐藏了很多记忆。撤销它的存在是建筑师的主题。客户想把它转换成由8-10人组成的办公室。空间是建筑的本质。我们的策略是保持它的结构和空间关系，消除多余的装饰元素，挖掘它内在的记忆和价值。

Text description provided by the architects. The pumping station has been abandoned for many years, staying lonely in the neighborhood. People passing by,never realize its existence nor even take a look at it. However, Mottled walls and wild vines hide a lot of memory. It is the architect's topic to revoke its existence. The client wants to convert it into office of 8-10 occupants. Space is the essence of architecture. Our strategy is to maintain its structure and spatial relationship, and eliminate superfluous decorative elements, dig out its inherent memory and value.

与普通建筑物不同的是，泵房地板上有许多孔供设备使用，拐角处有两个排气烟囱。虽然这些组件不再被使用，但我们仍然保留它们并将它们转换为新的构建元素，以便与旧内存进行对话。

Different from the common buildings,The pump House has many holes on the floor for device use , and two exhaust chimneys on the corner. Although these components are no longer used, we still reserve and convert them into new building elements to have a dialogue with the old memory.

由于办公室居住在住宅区，办公室的隐私是本设计中最重要的因素之一。我们位于南立面的露台上，离住宅很远。在居民可以看到的北面上，我们用天窗和底部的丝带窗建造了一堵坚固的墙，这使这个空间变得神秘但不沮丧。泵站有六米高，有许多高窗.一个额外的夹层空间可以利用这些窗口。我们只需要稍微调整一下它的大小和比例。我们把原来的地下蓄水空间改成地下室。为了避免沼气的风险，地下室入口位于室外，在弧形挡土墙与主建筑的间隙之间可以设置悬臂钢台阶。这栋建筑旁边的两棵老树在纯白的墙前显得更加繁荣昌盛。

As the office is settled in a residential area, the privacy of the office is one of the most important factors in this design. We locate the terrace on the south facade which is away from the residential buildings. On the north facade which is visible from the residents, we built a solid wall with a skylight and a bottom ribbon window, which make the space mysterious but not depressed. The pumping station is six meters high, with lots of high-side window . An added mezzanine space can take advantage of these windows. What we only need to do is to adjust its size and proportion slightly. We convert the original underground water storage space into a basement. In order to avoid risks of bio-gas, the basement entrance is located outdoors,where cantilevered steel steps can be located between the gap of the arc retaining wall and the main building. Two old trees adjacent to the building looks more prosperous in front of the pure white wall.
