在熙熙攘攘的斯奇河畔，是一个古老而又有特色的工业综合体，在过去的岁月里，它已经失去了许多光泽和活力。随着时间的推移，特色建筑的集聚已成为一个几乎不可逆转的下降过程，多年的空置和忽视。前蒸汽洗衣房的外部有两张与众不同的面孔。在街道边，有一系列传统的房屋，而在斯奇河边，一座工厂的外观则是一座巨大的砖石烟囱。

In the heart of bustling Delfshaven on the banks of the river Schie is an old characteristic industrial complex located which has lost a lot of its luster and vibrancy in the course of the years. The by time grown together agglomeration of characteristic buildings has become in an almost irreversible process of decline by years of vacancy and neglection. The exterior of the former steam laundry has two distinctive faces. On the street side, a series of traditional houses, and on the river Schie-side a factory-look inluding a big masonry chimney.

有关各方为保护这一不朽的建筑群而进行的狭隘合作。这座建筑需要彻底的改革，才能成为创意产业的中心，年轻的小企业和已经超出起居空间的个体经营者可能会在这里建立起来。

The narrow collaboration of the involved parties pursued to preserve this monumental complex. The building needed a radical change to become a central place for the creative industries, in which young small businesses and self-employed who have outgrown their living room may establish.

美的战略设计立足于保留现存的美学、文化、历史和建筑品质，而倒塌和破败的地区则被一个增加空间(光、空气和空间)和规划质量的中庭所取代。中庭作为企业家聚会的场所，构成了大厦的“心脏”，包括休息室、聚会场所和储藏室等集体元素。水平的业务单位聚集在中庭周围，并利用现有的特色外观开口，周围保留。增加的内容，如中庭的钢结构，是极简的，并拥有一个统一的调色板，以保持空间质量。青铜正面，适合街景，揭示了新的补充。中庭顶部是一个工业屋顶灯，以完成纯粹的装修德法布里克。

The strategic design of Mei is based on the preservation of the still existing aesthetic, cultural, historical and constructive quality, whereas the collapsed and dilapidated areas are replaced by an atrium adding spatial (light, air and space) and programmatic quality. The atrium forms the “heart” of the building as a meeting place for entrepreneurs, including collective elements as lounges, meeting places and pantries. The leveled business units gather around the atrium and make use of the existing characteristic façade openings around which are retained. The additions that are made, such as the steel structure in the atrium, are minimalistic and possess a uniform color palette to maintain the spatial quality. Bronze facades, which fit into the streetscape, reveal the new addition. The atrium is topped by an industrial rooflight to complete the pure renovation of De Fabriek.
