架构师提供的文本描述。简报将把一个现有的破旧机械车间变成米尔德里德的展览室/总部。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief was to turn an existing rundown mechanics workshop into a showroom/headquarters for Mildred & Co. It needed to be a neutral flexible space that could be leased out for events but also bold enough to define their brand.

这座建筑是一个仓库，坐落在一座坚如磐石的城市环境中，夹在三栋建筑之间。解决方案主要集中在规模、比例以及控制光线、反射和声学方面的研究，以提供成功的结果。

The building is a warehouse located in a gritty urban setting, wedged in-between 3 buildings. The solution to the brief focused around a study on scale, proportion, as well as controlling light, reflections and acoustics to provide a successful outcome.

原有建筑的形式被保留，建筑的新部分被添加到周围的周围，以创建一个庭院。庭院给人一种放松和开放的感觉，环绕着密集的城市结构。前面的外墙被重新覆盖，并进行了改造，使街道变得更加离散，但也更有活力。选择黑色的外墙是为了把正面变成一个阴影，给人一种空虚的感觉。负空间。这样做是为了在建筑的内外/公共和私人领域之间形成强烈的对比。建筑的内部空间是通过光、反射和尺度的操控来创造建筑。

The form of the original building was retained and new sections of building were added around the perimeter of the site to create a courtyard. The courtyard gives a sense of release and openness within the surrounding dense urban fabric. The front façade was re-clad and reformed to give a more discrete but also robust face to the street.  The black cladding was selected to turn the façade into a shadow, giving the sense of a void, a negative space. This was done to create a strong contrast between the inside and outside / public and private realms of the building. The internal space of the building is about creating architecture through the manipulation of light, reflection and scale.

完整的建筑包括一个入口大厅，陈列室，庭院，办公室，存储区和便利设施。这些空间都是由体积和尺度的变化来定义的。进入每一个空间的物理过渡是一种固定的体验。踏进庭院成为一种建筑体验；门槛仍然是确定的，但仍然允许在空间中移动。

The completed building consists of an entrance lobby, showroom, courtyard, office, storage area and amenities. These spaces are all defined by variations in volume and scale. The physical transition into each of these spaces is a defined experience. Stepping through to the courtyard becomes an architectural experience; the threshold remains defined but still allows for movement through the space.

表面饰面已精心挑选，以创造反光和增强运动在空间，高光泽黑色漆器橱柜，超抛光混凝土地板，玻璃吊坠都有助于这一点。

The surface finishes have been carefully selected to create reflections and enhance the movement in the space, high gloss black lacquer cabinetry, hyper polished concrete floors, glass pendants all contribute to this.

天花板上的木材可以起到隔音、过滤自然光的作用，还可以创造出一种更人性化的空间模式。它们模仿旧波纹铁皮屋顶上的负波动和正起伏。

The timber battens in the ceiling serve to hold up acoustic insulation, filter natural light and also create a pattern that gives the space a more human scale. They mimic the negative and positive undulations in the old corrugated iron roof.

旋转门和橱柜本身就被认为是雕塑作品；它们的设计目的是在开放和封闭的状态下与建筑进行对话。它们的结构改变了空间的动感、意境和建筑结构。

The pivoting doors and cabinetry were conceived of as sculptural pieces in their own right; these are designed to create a dialogue with the architecture in both their open and closed states. Their configurations transform the dynamic, mood and architecture of the space.

总体的想法是，它不仅仅是一个停滞的空间，设计的每一个方面都被严格地考虑来创造一个动态的空间，可以在不同的配置中体验。

The overall idea is that it is not just one stagnant space, every aspect of the design has been rigorously considered to create a dynamic space that can be experienced in various configurations.
