架构师提供的文本描述。1875年亨利·霍布森·理查森的海登大厦的修复和适应性再利用，在技术和概念上都是一个挑战。业主，一个非营利性组织，想要把多家庭住房和零售到一个破旧的8，500楼，五层的建筑物，这是以前的商业租户。因为这个社区在19世纪末以纺织品生产为中心，它的居住者大多是服装店和礼帽店。在20世纪混合经营之后，海登大厦在20世纪60年代成为成人娱乐的焦点，因为这个社区变成了波士顿的红灯区-战斗区。这个在全国注册的历史地标在唐人街和剧院区的边缘空置，自从1985年一场大火烧毁了它。由于严重损坏和忽视，该建筑物的外壳需要石头和砖石修理，以及全新的地板和屋顶框架系统。在火灾发生后，为稳定外墙而安装的现有横向钢支撑必须重新装修，以更好地适应使用的变化。考虑到新的住宅用途，出口是另一个技术挑战，只有一个楼梯在建筑物内存在。通过创造性地利用空间和与邻国进行深思熟虑的谈判，在规划单元时解决了第二次出口问题。

Text description provided by the architects. The rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of Henry Hobson Richardson’s Hayden Building of 1875 was a challenge both technically and conceptually. The owner, a not-for-profit organization, wanted to insert multi-family housing and retail into a dilapidated 8,500sf, five-story building that had previously housed commercial tenants. Because the neighborhood centered on the production of textiles during the end of 19th century, its occupants were mostly clothing and hat shops. After a mixture of businesses during the 20th century, the Hayden Building became a focus of adult entertainment in the 1960’s as the neighborhood turned into Boston’s red-light district, the Combat Zone. This Nationally Registered Historic Landmark sat vacant on the edge of Chinatown and the Theater district since a fire gutted it in 1985. Due to significant damage and neglect, the building’s shell required stone and masonry repairs along with completely new floor and roof framing systems. Existing lateral steel bracing installed to stabilize the façade after the fire had to be reworked to better accommodate the change of use. Considering the new residential use, egress was another technical challenge with only one staircase existing in the building. A secondary means of egress was resolved in the planning of the units with creative use of space and thoughtful negotiations with neighbors.

从概念上讲，由一位非常杰出的美国建筑师重振一座重要的历史建筑是一项巨大的挑战。海登大厦定义了建筑师H.理查森重新思考如何表达20世纪初使用新建筑材料和工程进步的大型商业建筑的开始。海登大厦本质上是芝加哥马歇尔球场的草图，它成为早期摩天大楼设计的样板。当建筑师们试图使建筑物看起来更大一些的时候，理查森拥抱了巨大的规模，巨大的石头流淌着，在重复的海湾里把窗户组合在一起。

Conceptually, reviving a significant historic building by a very prominent American architect was a great challenge. The Hayden Building defines the beginning of architect H.H. Richardson’s rethinking of how to articulate larger commercial buildings that were using new building materials and engineering advances at the turn of the 20th century. The Hayden Building is essentially a sketch for the Marshall Field in Chicago, which became a template for early skyscraper designs. At a time when architects were trying to make buildings appear more residential in size, Richardson embraced the massive scale with oversized stone coursing and grouped windows in repetitive bays.

经过对理查森的设计方法的深入探索，并认识到海登大厦的褐石墙是一个具有历史意义的特征，从内部反映墙的外部块体的概念开始形成。墙的内部加厚提供了层层的辅助功能，就像理查森在家中所做的那样，有辅助程序支持生活、睡眠和饮食的主要用途。例如，食品储藏室、洗衣房、大衣仓库和图书仓库沿墙提供大量物品，使居住者回到历史悠久的外墙，并在繁忙的城市地区提供另一层带有地板到天花板的窗户的隐私。卧室被搬离了历史悠久的外墙，所以整堵墙可以像很久以前为商户提供服务时那样全面地体验。

After much exploration of Richardson’s design methods and an understanding that the brownstone wall of the Hayden Building was a historically significant feature, the concept of reflecting the exterior massiveness of the wall to the inside began to form. This interior thickening of the wall provides layers of ancillary functions, much like Richardson did in his homes, with secondary programs that support the main uses of living, sleeping, and eating. For example, a food pantry, laundry, coat storage, and book storage provide mass along the wall, bring occupants back to the historic façade, and provide an additional layer of privacy with floor to ceiling windows in a busy urban area. Bedrooms were moved away from the historic façade so the entire wall could be experienced holistically as it was when it served commercial tenants long ago.

内部细节揭示了建筑制造的物理残余物，如原脚手架留下的砖块口袋，以及从空间布局到壁板到材料组织的理查森的设计理念。拉格兰奇街的新入口重新打开了一个历史性的战线，推翻了理查森的坚实和空洞的想法；而大厅和楼梯主持了自1875年以来社区和建筑租户的社会历史故事。我们的任务是重建一个重要的国家标志，同时在概念上保留塑造它的想法。

The interior detailing reveals the physical remnants of the buildings making, such as brick pockets left by the original scaffolding, as well as revives the design concepts of Richardson from the spatial layout to wainscoting to the organization of materials. The new entry off LaGrange Street reopens a historic front and inverts Richardson’s solid and void ideas; while the lobby and stairway host the story of the social history of the neighborhood and building tenants since 1875. Our charge was to rehabilitate a significant National Landmark while conceptually preserving the ideas that shaped it.
