架构师提供的文本描述。芝加哥的一位开发人员要求我们在现有的单层砖石外壳内创造一种新的办公氛围。我们的策略是强调用于建造这个简单盒子的材料的内在特性。

Text description provided by the architects. A Chicago developer tasked us to create a new office atmosphere within an existing single story masonry shell. Our strategy was to place emphasis on the intrinsic character of materials used to build this simple box.

首先，我们需要揭开它被遗忘的美丽，隐藏在古老的石膏皮背后。一旦周边恢复正常，我们就避开它，开始引入日常“办公空间”所需的组件。

First, we needed to uncloak its forgotten beauty, hidden behind the layers of old gypsum skin. Once the perimeter was brought back to life, we kept clear of it, and began to introduce the components needed for an everyday “office space”.

房间中央放了一张超大的公用书桌，里面装有综合储藏室。在结构上由两个薄穿孔金属屏风支撑，桌子似乎被切割成较小的部分，定义了在单一共享空间内需要的多个工作区域。

An oversized communal desk with integrated storage was placed in the center of the room. Structurally supported by two thin perforated metal screens, the desks appear to be cut into smaller segments, defining multiple work areas needed within the single shared space.

这些引人注目的金属片被设计成具有视觉吸引力，增强了现有皮肤的原始质量。为了进一步将办公室与相邻区域分开，我们引入了一个连续的黑色“装订墙”，以满足各种规划需要。储藏室、机械柜和私人办公室都是在这一步中精心雕刻的。

These striking sheets of metal are designed to be visually intriguing, enhancing the raw qualities of an existing skin. To further separate the office from its adjacent zones, we introduced a continuous black “binding wall” snaking through various programmatic needs. Storage, mechanical closet and a private office are carefully sculpted within this single move.

空间中缺乏自然日光的问题，通过放置大玻璃板作为隔墙、借光和增加视野，解决了这一问题。现在，居住者与他们周围的环境联系得更紧密，而且感觉更不受控制。

The lack of natural daylight in the space was solved through the placement of large panes of glass as separating walls, borrowing light and adding views throughout. Now, the occupants are more connected with their immediate surroundings and feel much less contained.
