架构师提供的文本描述。东莞市位于深圳和广州(广州)之间，是最近发展最快的城市。该公司被要求为中国领先的房地产开发商万科(Vanke)在东莞一处混合用途的开发项目中，为600平方米的销售办公室制定计划。该建筑位于城市的一个新兴区域，与其他正在进行新开发的房地产相邻。这种流动状态既是设计过程中的一项资产，也是一项挑战。

Text description provided by the architects. The city of Dongguan, located between Shenzhen and Guangzhou (Canton), is the scene of breakneck development of late. FCHA was asked to develop plans for a 600 square-meter sales office in a mixed-use development in Dongguan for leading Chinese property developer Vanke. Located in an up-and-coming area of the city, the structure occupies a corner site adjacent to other properties undergoing new development. This state of flux was both an asset and a challenge for the design process.

我们首先将办公室概念化为一个从地面上慢慢向上旋转的角形，从而重建了空气中相对的地面平面，并改变了用户对地面和结构的感知。为了做到这一点，一个松散的三角形网格被强加在网站上，形成广场景观的参数。然后，景观网格的中心被挤压成平缓的斜坡连接的两个层次，形成一个活跃的、可用的绿色屋顶。

We began by conceptualizing the office as an angular form gently spiraling upwards from the ground plane, thus reestablishing the relative ground plane in the air and changing the user’s perception of ground and structure. To do this, a loose triangular grid was imposed across the site to form the parameters of a plaza landscape. The center of that landscape grid was then extruded into two levels connected by gentle slopes, to form an active and usable green roof.

质量的两层部分采用悬臂式箱式桁架的形式，其中容纳了办公室的两个模型单元。模型单元的阳台面对一个大的玻璃立面，视图类似于大多数可供购买的单位所经历的情况。模型单元的对面是一个流动的双高度空间，为办公室的主要销售休息室，这是沐浴在漫天的北极光，由一个大的倒背窗。背窗也是一个宽的水平孔径，最清楚地说明了地面的重建。

The two-level portion of the mass takes the form of a cantilevered box-truss which houses the office’s two model units. The balconies of the model units face a large glazed facade with views similar to those experienced by the majority of the units available for purchase. Opposite the model units is a fluid double-height space for the office’s main sales lounge, which is bathed in diffuse northern daylight by a large inverted dormer window. The dormer window also acts as a broad horizontal aperture that most clearly illustrates the reestablishment of the ground plane.

建筑项目的其余部分(职员办公室、会议室和洗手间)都整齐地排列在从地面出现的斜坡的下方。该大楼于2014年9月完工，着眼于在大楼其余部分完工和出售后，将来用作零售或餐厅空间。

 The remainder of the building’s program (staff offices, conference room, and restrooms) are neatly arranged along the underside of the slope that emerges from ground level. The building was completed in September 2014, with an eye towards future use as retail or restaurant space subsequent to completion and sale of the rest of the tower complex.
