架构师提供的文本描述。建筑中有价值的时刻是通过内部与外部的综合体现出来的。在城市环境中，这些时刻常常是公开的和短暂的，只有当人们漫步在街道上时，才能通过斑驳的阳光、变换的阴影和经过的微风的相互作用才能注意到这一点。然而，有时，我们与大自然的相遇会更加亲密和持久。

Text description provided by the architects. Valued moments in architecture are manifested through the synthesis of the exterior with the interior. In an urban context,these momentsare oftenpublic and ephemeral, noticed only through the interplay of dappling sunrays, shifting shadows and passing breeze as one strolls down the street. However, sometimes, our encounter of nature can be more intimate and permanent.

在我们设计工作室的这个项目中，那个永恒的时刻植根于一个被遗忘的庭院里。这是一棵古老的树，也叫“冬青树”。我们立刻被迷住了，所以自然地，我们的设计工作集中在恢复这棵被遗弃的树的尊严上。

In thisproject of our design studio, that moment of permanence came rooted in a forgotten courtyard. It is an old tree, the chimonanthustree, known also as ‘wintersweet’. We were immediately charmed and so naturally, our design efforts became focused on restoring the dignity of this abandoned tree.

 Floor Plan

该遗址位于一个典型的19世纪末上海的长龙社区，其特点是连接历史、建筑、居民和闲聊的道路。多年来，这位冬青见证了时间的流逝，同时也经历了无数次的虐待和缺乏维护。我们希望它成为我们的秘密，但更重要的是，我们想保护它。因此，我们为巷道创造了一个缓冲器，首先是一扇大玻璃门，门框在不锈钢内衬的门廊里，然后是一系列的空间，包括门厅、公用室和储藏室。

The site is located in a li-long – a typical late 19th century Shanghai neighborhood characterized by the laneways that connect thehistory, buildings, inhabitants and gossips within.Over the years, this Wintersweet witnessed the passage of time while surviving numerous abuses and a lack of maintenance. We want it to be our secret, but more importantly, we want to protect it. Thus, we create a buffer to the laneways, starting with a large glazed door framed in a stainless steel lined porch, followed by a series of spaces that includes a foyer gallery, utility rooms and pantry.

然后，我们把我们大部分时间花在树上的空间，即会议室和工作区围绕在树上。从地板到天花板，双层玻璃围护着我们的树无所不在.此外，我们还设计了一种方法，通过捕捉树的阴影，在物理上“把”树“带进去”。所有内部表面，包括固定装置和家具，都决定了一个浅色的调色板，将内饰转换成投影屏幕，并呈现出由树木、树叶和阳光组成的阴影显示。因此，这棵树总是在视线中，始终是内部的一部分。

We then surround our tree with the spaces we would spend most of our time in, namely the conference room and our working area. A floor-to-ceiling double-glazing enclosureallows our tree to be omnipresent. Additionally, we devised a way to physically ‘bring’ the tree inside by capturing its shadows. A light color palette was decided for all interior surfaces, including fixtures and furniture, transforming the interiors into a projection screen and presenting a shadow show composed by the tree, its foliage and sunlight. Thus this tree is always in sight, always a part of the interiors.

与我们的冬甜的根的性质相比，桌子在主要工作区域悬臂离开墙壁。畅通无阻的腿部空间，最受我们喜爱的狗，是由一个墙壁存储单元为所有的计算机站和多功能电缆托盘系统组成的堆叠文具架。按照通风的方法，墙壁上覆盖着白色的石板，可以悬挂不同的物品：一个灵活的系统，提供更多的功能表面积，以供创造性使用。

Contrasting with the rooted nature of our Wintersweet, desks in the main working area cantilever off the wall. The unobstructed legroom, most appreciated by our playful dogs, is ensured by a wall storage unit for all computer stations and a multi-functional cable tray system composed of stackable stationery holders. In line with the airy approach, walls are clad with white pegboard where different items can be hung: a flexible system providing more functional surface area for creative use.

见证这座废弃的小巷房子是如何转变成我们的工作室空间的，这是一次富有成果的学习体验。现在，温特斯泰重拾了将大自然与人造室内装饰融为一体的目标，我们在日常生活中就像一个建筑的瞬间一样享受着它。

To witness how this abandoned lane house transformed into our studio space has been a fruitful learning experience.The Wintersweet now regains its purpose to integrate nature with man-made interiors and we enjoy itas a moment of architecture in our everyday.
