架构师提供的文本描述。位于黄金巷115号的四层大楼是一座19世纪中叶的大楼，多年来，它的用途已经从原来的“仓库”转变为可容纳小作坊、办事员、办公室和仓库的“仓库”。为了满足不断变化的法规和历史上的使用要求，石膏板、隔墙、悬吊地板和天花板层层逐渐覆盖了砖、铸铁和木材的原始结构材料。此外，20世纪的建筑和消防条例还规定了更多的烟雾大厅和隔墙，减少了实用和可用的面积，以及建筑物固有的“开放”空间特征和材料质量，以至于被遗忘了。

Text description provided by the architects. The four storey building at 115 Golden Lane is a mid 19th Century building that has over the years changed use from purpose a built ‘warehouses’ accommodating small workshops, clerks offices and storage. To meet changing regulations and use requirements over its history multiple layers of plasterboard, partitions, suspended floors and ceilings gradually covered the original structural materials of brick, cast iron and timber. Further 20th Century building and fire regulations prescribed yet more smoke lobbies and partitions diminishing practical and usable area and the building’s inherent ‘open’ spatial character and material quality to the point that they had been forgotten.

我们的客户最初要求我们重新配置这些空间，并通过一种提供一致的材料调色板和详细说明的方法来为这些空间提供衔接。早期和小型的开放调查重新发现原来的砖块、铸铁柱和木材龙骨是良好的和健全的。会议商定了一项战略，即拆除所有悬挂的天花板、抬高的楼层和随后的墙面衬里，以揭示这些情况。与一名核准的建筑控制检查员和一支结构、环境和消防工程师团队合作，实施了新的建筑技术和工程解决方案，以达到符合建筑条例、英国和欧洲标准的目的。允许我们完全开放原来的空间，揭示固有的建筑结构，同时为我们的客户提供与传统建筑方法和产品相比的大量的建筑成本节约。

Our client initially asked us to reconfigure and provide cohesion to these spaces with an approach that offered a consistent palette of materials and detailing throughout. Early and small opening up investigations rediscovered the original brickwork, cast iron columns and timber joists to be of good and sound condition. A strategy was agreed to remove all suspended ceilings, raised floors and any later wall linings to reveal these. Working together with an approved Building Control Inspector and a team Structural, Environmental and Fire Engineers new building technologies and engineered solutions were implemented to achieve compliance with building regulations, British and European Standards. Allowing us to entirely open up the original spaces and reveal the inherent architecture while providing our client with a substantial construction cost saving compared to conventional building methods and products.
