架构师提供的文本描述。大和康设计公司(DaewhaKang Design)对一座1980年代的办公大楼进行了全面的重新装修和改造，使大楼的封套达到了今天的环境标准，并在一个破旧的街区创造了一个大胆的视觉表述。一座曾经被忽视的停车场已经被改造成一个水晶的不锈钢空间，充满了光和大胆的反光。位于首尔永山的新公报总部将容纳一家由50名员工组成的公关公司，以及一个室内室外地下咖啡厅和屋顶活动空间，旨在为周边地区注入新的活力。

Text description provided by the architects. DaeWha Kang Design has undertaken a full recladding and gut renovation of a 1980's era office building, bringing the building envelope up to today's environmental standards and creating a bold visual statement within an old and run-down neighbourhood. A formerly neglected car park under the building overhang has been transformed into a crystalline space of tessellated stainless steel, filled with light and a bold play of reflections. The new Communique Headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul will house a public relations firm of fifty staff, as well as an indoor-outdoor ground floor cafe and rooftop event space intended to breathe new life into the surrounding area.

户外咖啡馆设计面临的挑战是，尽管现有的地下通道和地方法规的清除率很低，但仍然需要保持较深的悬空，但还是要创造一个令人愉快和难忘的地方。一种在镜面不锈钢面板上覆盖天花板的解决方案使空间的高度增加了一倍，而现有的中央柱则提供了一个雕塑焦点。采用前沿设计和制造技术为表现形式提供良好的构造逻辑，面板的折叠和尺寸的分级都是由几何曲率和材料经济性的要求驱动的。

The challenge of the outdoor cafe design was to create a welcoming and memorable place in spite of the low clearance of the existing undercroft and local regulations that required maintaining the deep overhang. A solution of cladding the ceiling in mirrored stainless steel panels doubles the perceived height of the space, while an existing central column provides a sculptural focal point. Cutting edge design and fabrication technology was used to provide a sound construction logic to the expressive forms, and the folding of panels and the gradation of their size are all driven by the demands of geometric curvature and economy of material.

同样扭曲的网格产生了花岗岩面板的主要外观。在这种情况下，平面花岗岩面板缩小到建筑物最明显的部分，但也提供了一个动态阵列，具有很强的环境基础。当西面的正面包裹到长长的北面时，变形会产生不同高度的色带窗户，顶部的玻璃会减少对内部的眩光影响，而向底部的更多的玻璃则会在最需要的地方提供采光。算法设计用于在花岗岩模式中创建二次细分网格，简化了材料的采购和安装，并极大地节省了成本。

The same distorted grid generates the granite panelisation of the primary facade. In this case, flat granite panels reduce in size towards the most visible part of the building, but also provide a dynamic array that has a strong environmental rationale. As the west facade wraps to the long north facade, the distortion creates ribbon windows of different heights, with less glazing at the top to minimise glare effects on the interior, and more glazing towards the bottom to provide daylighting where it is most needed. Algorithmic design was used to create secondary subdivision grids within the granite pattern, easing material sourcing and installation, and greatly saving costs.

内部概念是围绕着通过设计提高员工福利和生产力的原则来组织的。虽然在现有结构的限制下工作，布局提供了传统会议室和单人电话亭风格的会议室，以帮助员工管理噪音干扰和敏感的电话通话。创造性的协作空间也允许在主要工作领域内进行非正式工作和会议。

The interior concept is organised around the principle of improving employee well-being and productivity through design. While working within the constraints of an existing structure, the layout provides both traditional meeting rooms and single-person phone-booth style meeting rooms to help employees manage noise disruptions and sensitive phone calls. Creative collaboration spaces allow for informal working and meeting within the main working area as well.

最近的学术研究已经将员工健康和福利的改善与工作场所内生活性质的观点联系起来。办公空间的储存系统都与百合花整合在一起，美国宇航局的科学家已经证实，这可以清除空气中最常见的五种室内气体毒素。这种对生物友好性的综合方法使活植物成为空间的一部分，并在繁忙的工作日内创造了一些可以休息和沉思的小地方。进一步改善空气质素的方法，是取消原有的下降上限，以增加空间内的总风量。计算流体力学模拟用来确定窗口打开方向的方式，创造一个微妙的，但动态的循环流动的新鲜空气通过办公室。建筑师和客户共同进行了空气质量比较研究，并对以前和新办公室的员工缺勤情况进行了统计分析。

Recent academic research has linked improvements in employee health and well-being with access to views of living nature within the workspace. The storage systems of the office spaces are all integrated with Spathiphyllum lilies, proven by NASA scientists to clear the air of five of the most common gaseous indoor toxins. This integrated approach to biophilia makes the living plants a part of the space, and also creates some small areas for rest and contemplation within the busy working day. Air quality is further enhanced by removing the previously existing dropped ceiling to increase total air volume in the space. Computational fluid dynamic simulations were used to orient the window opening directions in a way that creates a subtle yet dynamic circular flow of fresh air through the offices. The architect and client worked together to do comparative air quality studies as well as statistical analysis of employee absenteeism in the previous and new offices.

底层的咖啡厅是为了最大限度地与外界接触而设计的。从地板到天花板的玻璃面对着主要的街道，而双折叠的门直接打开到遮蔽的露台下的镜面悬垂下。地下室内有一个多功能的空间，可供员工使用，用于开会，参观咖啡厅，并出租给需要零星或临时会议空间的当地小企业。屋顶露台的设计巧妙地与韩国赫朗庭院的类型相一致，围绕着一个用砾石铺成的中央庭院周围有一个冥想的巡视木甲板。

The café glazing on the ground floor is designed for maximum engagement with the outside. Floor to ceiling glass faces the main street, while bi-fold doors open directly out onto the sheltered terrace under the mirrored overhang. The basement houses a multi-function space that can be used by employees for meetings, overflow visitors to the cafe, and hired to local small businesses who need sporadic or temporary meeting spaces. The roof terrace is designed with a subtle nod to the Korean hoerang courtyard typology, with a meditative perambulatory wooden deck surrounding a central court paved in gravel.
