架构师提供的文本描述。仅仅是因为齿轮工厂还在那里，就在阿姆斯特丹的老中心，这使得这座建筑显得特别。这座20世纪初的仓库，有锯齿状的屋顶和长满常春藤的砖墙，就像城市里的一片绿洲。这座建筑现在已经由建筑师RonaldJanssen与唐纳德·奥斯本建筑师合作改造成12套住宅，由房地产开发商Buro阿姆斯特丹委托。

Text description provided by the architects. The mere fact that the gearwheel factory is still there, right in the old centre of Amsterdam, makes the building special. This warehouse from the early 20th century, with its sawtooth roof and brick walls overgrown with ivy, is like a green oasis in the city. The building has now been transformed by architect Ronald Janssen in cooperation with Donald Osborne Architect into twelve residences, in commission from real estate developer Buro Amsterdam.

这些阁楼是背靠背组织起来的，每个阁楼从街道上都有自己的入口处。曾经的装卸门现在都是由穿孔钢制成的大型滑动门。洞的图案是由工厂内部的旧照片启发而来的，每扇门都使用不同的图像。在这些栅栏的后面是遮蔽的圆木，作为私人的前花园，自行车可以放在那里，前门也在那里。

The lofts, organized back to back, each have their own entrance from the street. Where once the loading and unloading doors stood are now large sliding gates made of perforated steel. The pattern of holes is inspired by old photographs of the factory interior; a different image is used for each gate. Behind these fences are sheltered loggias, which act as private front gardens where bicycles can be kept, and where the front doors are located.

在里面，空间的高度是特别引人注目的，这是丰富的自然光，通过天窗进入。他们内向的性格是这些家最重要的品质-尤其是在繁忙的市中心。

Within, the height of the space is especially striking, as is the abundant natural light, which enters via the skylights. Their introverted character is the foremost quality of these homes—particularly in the busy city centre.

设计有明显的二分法。入口，厕所，和技术功能捆绑在一个区域，卧室和屋顶露台在(新的)一楼。其余的空间仍然是一个“工厂”，保持它的开放，钢桁架-简单地刷干净-仍然清晰可见。未完成的室内装修由居民自己来填补；浴室和厨房的连接为不同的安排提供了选择。

The design has a clear dichotomy. The entrance, WC, and technical functions are bundled in one zone, with the bedrooms and a roof terrace on the (new) first floor. The rest of the space remains a “factory” by leaving it open, with steel trusses—simply brushed clean—still visible. The unfinished interiors are filled in by the residents themselves; connections for bathroom and kitchen offer options for different arrangements.

在外观上，尽可能少的改动。事实上，除了现有的五扇门外，只有七个额外的开口穿过门面。植被已从砖石中移除；取而代之的是，大型种植园主现在被安置在街道上，而新的屋顶部分则种植了刚玉。不再有必要的窗户被水泥均匀地覆盖着，看起来像“伤疤”，使人们对过去的记忆永存。

On the exterior, as little as possible has been changed. In fact, there are only seven extra openings cut through the facade, in addition to the five existing doors. The vegetation has been removed from the masonry; in its place, large planters are now positioned in the street, while new roof sections have been planted with sedum. Windows that are no longer necessary have been evenly covered with cement, appearing like “scars” that keep the memory of the past alive.
