架构师提供的文本描述。这个谷仓位于普罗旺斯市外的农村，它的修复给了Objekto一家具分销公司一个不同寻常的展示。巴西设计师的作品，如保罗·门德斯·达·罗查、莫里西奥·卡莱宾和拉菲基·法拉赫，在普罗旺斯地区的中心，展示了圣维托瓦尔山的景色。

Text description provided by the architects. The rehabilitation of this barn in the countryside outside of Aix-en-Provence gives Objekto, a furniture distribution company, an unusual showcase. The creations of Brazilian designers such as Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Mauricio Klabin and Rafic Farah are displayed with a view of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, in the heart of the Provence region.

该建筑物保持其现有的体积，它的山墙屋顶轻微上升，以获得一个舒适的天花板高度在一楼。一半的地板是用浇筑的混凝土重新铺成的，以创造一个容易转换的单一水平。中央剪力墙与外墙分开，以获得更多的流动性。它概述了项目的四个方面：一楼的接待室和储藏室、楼上的办公室和陈列室。

The building retains its existing volume, and its gable roof is slightly raised to obtain a comfortable ceiling height on the first floor. Half of the floor was redone in poured concrete to create an easily convertible single level.The central shear wallis separated from the facade walls for more fluidity. It outlines the four areas of the project: reception and storage room on the ground floor, office and showroom upstairs.

四个大海湾窗户被雕刻在正面，提供惊人的景观，俯瞰普罗旺斯和圣维托瓦尔的农业景观。这些海湾窗户外的裸露接缝从街道上给出了用于重新设计建筑物的现代风格的暗示。

Four large bay windows were carved out in the facade to provide stunning views looking out over the agricultural landscape of Provence and Sainte-Victoire. The exposed joints outside these bay windows give a hint from the street of the contemporary style used to repurpose the building.

就像博物馆一样，这座建筑把重点放在正在展出的家具上。一楼的地板、墙壁和天花板的连续性创造了一个白色和永恒的均匀空间。没有基板、白色漆柜、窗框的开角和直到木制品的连续天花板都是使办公室和陈列室空间非物质化的要素。这种白色只会被剪切的石墙和周围乡村的景色所打断，使建筑在空间和时间上更加有形。

Like a museum, the building puts the focus on the furniture being presented. The continuity of the floors, walls and ceilings of the first floor creates a homogeneous space that is white and timeless. The absence of baseboards, the white lacquered storage cabinets, the open angles of the window framing and the continuous ceiling up to the woodwork are all elements that dematerialise the office and showroom space. This whiteness is only interrupted by the shear stone walls and the views of the surrounding countryside, making the building more tangible in space and time.
