架构师提供的文本描述。在新住户、建筑公司和建筑工作室的共同努力下，这座70年代的办公楼重新焕发了生机。位于墨尔本北部，隐藏在一层奶油色的渲染了几十年，布鲁塔主义的物质性被揭示后，经过8周的艰苦劳动割断令人窒息的外壳。

Text description provided by the architects. Through the combined effort of its new occupants; a construction company and an architecture studio; this 1970’s office block has been given a new life. Located in North Melbourne, and hidden under a layer of custard-coloured render for several decades, the Brutalist materiality was revealed after 8 weeks of painstaking labour chipping off the suffocating crust.

保留外壳和重用部分原有的适合，挑战是创造一个非企业的环境，将唤起一种真实感和能力。对于这两个组织来说，至关重要的是工作环境对使用它的人的影响。它首先回应员工的需求，形成健康的办公室文化。其次，这个空间代表了两家适合不同客户和访客的业务。

Retaining the shell and reusing parts of the original fit-out, the challenge was to create a non-corporate environment that would evoke a sense of authenticity and capability. Critical to both organisations is the effect that the work environment has on those who use it. It responds firstly to the needs of the staff, engendering a healthy office culture. Secondly, the space presents a considered representation of the two businesses that befits a variety of clients and visitors.

虽然很少有专业合作，但这些企业以前共用一栋大楼，并热衷于保留和增强社区意识。与许多共同居住在入口处和前台设施的共享工作室不同，这个440平方米的平面图正好相反。单独的入口和办公室通向一个宽敞的共享区域，包括厨房、突破空间和甲板。甲板是共享概念的核心与两个办公室和厨房/突破空间打开它通过大银行可操作的玻璃。这些共享的设施在专业、社会和空间上对两个组织都有好处。

While rarely collaborating professionally, these businesses had previously shared a building and were keen to retain and enhance a sense of community. Unlike many shared studios which co-habit an entry and front-of-house amenities, this 440m2 floor-plan works in reverse. Separate entries and offices lead through to a generous shared zone including kitchen, breakout-space and deck. The deck is the heart of the shared concept with both offices and the kitchen/breakout space opening onto it through large banks of operable glazing. These shared facilities benefit both organisations professionally, socially, and spatially.

这个项目把两个高度断开的空间，分成没有窗户的小咨询室，变成了一个充满光线的开放式办公室。逆向装饰-建筑商用黑色，建筑师用白色-反映在清新的天花板网格、配件和家具上，并提供一个微妙的不同点。建筑商办公室的玻璃隔墙提供声学隐私，同时保持通过空间的视觉连接。细木工定义循环路径，造成工作人员和访客之间的离散分离。

This project transformed two highly-disconnected spaces, divided into small windowless consulting rooms, into a light-filled, open-plan office. Inverse trims - black for builders, white for architects - are reflected in the refreshed ceiling grid, fittings and furniture and offer a subtle point of difference. Glazed partitions in the builder’s office provide acoustic privacy, while maintaining visual connections through the space. Joinery defines circulation paths creating discrete separation between staff and visitors.
