尊重现有建筑的历史，提供干预，而不是废除旧的设计和重新开始，分析旧结构的重要特征，并补充现代细节。

Respecting the history of the existing architecture and providing an intervention rather than scrapping the old design and starting anew, analyzing important characters of the old structure and complementing it with modern details.

从高地上看，建筑师必须研究线条，创造一种独特的构图，强化和补充结构的原始线条。创造一个漏斗效应，以表明门厅通向主门的重要性，表现在如何布置木板的方式，以加强领导作用。

From the elevations, the architects had to study the lines and create a singular composition that strengthened and compliment the original lines of the structure. Creating a funneling effect to suggest the importance of the foyer leading to the main door, manifested through how the wood planks were laid out in such a way that the leading effect is enhanced.

还考虑了材料的等级。有一个坚实的背景使用天然的石头和一个更软的材料为前面中心的海拔边缘刷不锈钢细节。通过内部的外部材料创造视觉连续性。

Hierarchy of materials was also considered. Having a solid background using natural stone and a softer material for the front center of the elevation bordered by a brushed stainless steel detail. Having the exterior material go through the interior creates visual continuity.

在平面图上采用了新旧并置的同样策略。确保它符合新的要求。建筑师们的反应是把整个空间作为一个整体独立地检查，并创造出过渡来连接旧的程序和新的程序。

The same strategy of juxtaposition of old and new was applied to the floor plan. Making sure it met the new requirements. The architects responded by examining the space as a whole and independently and created transitions to bridge the old program and the new.
