架构师提供的文本描述。第二乡巴佬位于伦敦金融城东端的斯皮塔尔菲尔德附近，毗邻另一个砖巷市场。这是一个共享工作空间(共同工作空间)的概念，容纳了大约30家公司，这些公司和邻居一样，规模小，与技术有很大关系。出租不同的工作室的可能性是多方面的，而且时间上很有弹性，从一个大公共区域的一个地方到最多可容纳75人的地方，再到5，7，10人的工作室，再到最大的最多可容纳20人的工作室。

Text description provided by the architects. secondhomese is located near Spitalfields in the East End of the city of London, next to the yet alternative Brick Lane market. It is a concept of shared workspace (co-working space) that hosts some 30 companies that are as alternative as the neighborhood, small scale, and quite related to technology. The possibility of renting the different studios is multiple and very elastic in time, and these vary from a single place in a large common area with room for up to 75 people, through studios for 5, 7, 10 people, up to the largest studio which can accommodate 20 people maximum.

但更重要的是，节目中任何成员都可以使用公共空间：有七个会议室，几个你可以阅读或聊天的休息区，一个宽敞的咖啡厅，免费咖啡，中午你可以吃五磅，和一个混合的工作领域

But more importantly in the program are the common spaces that can be used by any member: There are seven meeting rooms, several rest areas where you can read or chat, a spacious cafe-bar, where coffee is free and you can eat at noon for five pounds, and a mixed area of work-events where the large work table rises to the ceiling to leave the clean room for any activity, ranging from yoga and morning pilates to evening concerts, parties, dinners, conferences, film ...

在我们开始写这篇文章之前，2014年9月21日，我们一直在一个紧张而快速的过程中完成这个项目，所有的工作都在不到八个月的时间内完成。现在，当建设已经开始，强度被强调的时候，因为它必须在11月底之前完成，所以我们在一次飞行中有一段很短的时间间隔。允许我们对该项目、其动机、需求和可能的现实或美德进行一点反思。我们知道，包括我们自己在内，每个人都会首先提出的问题之一是，为什么会有如此夸张的曲线使用，为什么一个简单的空间与原始柱子的正交布局，最终会变成一个复杂的空间，稠密的，同时又平滑和连续的？

Until we started writing this text, September 21, 2014, we have worked with this project in an intense and very fast process, all done in less than eight months, and now when the construction has already begun and the intensity is emphasized, because it must be completed by the end of November, we got out a small interval on a flight to a work that flies, allowing us to reflect a little on the project, its motives, needs and possible realities or virtues. We understand that one of the first questions that everyone will ask, ourselves included, is why is there such an exaggerated use of the curve, why a simple space with an orthogonal layout of original pillars, eventually becomes a complex space dense and at the same time smooth and continuous?

第一个问题的答案是，事实上，一切现实都是如此平庸：这纯粹是一个经济问题。“第二家”的概念涉及到一种不可避免的需要需要没有浪费，没有一个角落不被用来做某事，没有一个人不能坐，不能工作，不能说话或放松的角度。这种对经济的处理，在其最广泛和最原始的意义上，直到它的最大限度，总是让我们对它的成就感到非常满意；但另一方面，这种高密度意味着充分占用和使用空间的极限，它成为我们最大的未知之一，它将如何真正的工作在未来，与这么多的人一起工作在高度集中的地区。

The answer to the first question is, in fact, so banal as all realities usually are: It is purely an economic issue. The concept of secondhome involved the unavoidable need, quite achieved finally, of occupying with small work spaces every corner and every area bathed in daylight, and, of course, the need to access each of these different areas spread the ends; the need for there to be nothing wasted, there is no corner that is not used for something, there is no angle where someone can't sit, work, talk or relax. This handling of the economy, in its broadest and original meaning, up to its maximum limit, is something that always leaves us very satisfied with the accomplishment; but on the other hand, this high density implies full occupancy and use of space to the limit, it becomes one of our greatest unknowns about how it will really work in the future, with so many people working together in highly concentrated areas.

因此，我们试图用两个技巧来限制这种可能导致复杂迷宫的潜在混乱：第一，整个系统的永久视觉和物理流动性，它防止你感到迷失或被锁定在任何地方；第二，完全控制声音，不仅是用吸水性地毯和天花板，还包括向各个方向传播声音的连续曲线。同时，为了将这种连续性作为密度的解毒剂，我们实现了副作用，增加了整个空间的强度，使之成为一个整体，独特而统一，显得更大、更无穷无尽。这正是我们现在的问题：到底会不会是这样？它真的是这样一个空间吗？在这个空间中，透明和反射就会消失，而同时又会简化和使它变得如此复杂，从而打开空间，使空间变得无限和舒适吗？更重要的是，我们能不能结束让建筑在乡间空气中溶解的空间，这样做.这正是山姆和罗汉当初委托我们做的：办公室是家吗？.还是作为办公室的房子？

Therefore, we try to limit this potential chaos that could result in a maze of complexity, with two tricks: First with a permanent visual and physical fluidity of the whole, which prevents you from feeling lost or locked in anywhere; and second with full control of the sound, not only with absorbent carpets and ceilings, but also the continuous curve that spreads the sound in all directions. And also to use this continuity as an antidote to the density, we achieve side reactions that increase the strength of the entire space, making it a whole, unique and united, appearing larger and endless. And that is exactly our question these days: Will it really be like this in the end? Will it really be a space in which the transparency and reflections run out while simplify and make it so complex that they open the space and make it infinite and cozy at the same time? And more importantly, will we end getting a space where architecture is dissolved in a homespun air, to do just that ... which is exactly what Sam and Rohan commissioned us at the start: An office as a home? ...... Or was it a house as an office?
