架构师提供的文本描述。Baran Studio的任务是创造一个可以容纳15到20人的空间，但也可以让数百名程序员(他们需要插入)舒适地适应一个特殊的程序或活动。Wordpress的新自动空间是一个重新设想的仓库，以前曾是一个武术工作室，现在已经失修了。这一转变的核心概念是保持现有外壳的清晰和简单，并插入适应性新的“套筒”或涂层。

Text description provided by the architects. Baran Studio’s task was to create a space that could accommodate the usual contingent of maybe 15 or 20 people, but also transform to comfortably fit a few hundred coders (who need to plug-in) for a special program or event. Wordpress’s new Automattic Space is a re-imagined warehouse that was formerly a martial arts studio that had fallen into disrepair. The core concept for the transformation was to maintain the clarity and simplicity of the existing shell, and insert an adaptive new ‘sleeve’ or coating.

胶合板墙是整个空间的向导。有限的结构和机械升级是原始的和最小的。一堵胶合板墙蜿蜒而过，引导游客穿过空间。这堵墙沿途有几个功能用途。

The plywood wall acts as a guide throughout the space. The limited structural and mechanical upgrades were left raw and minimal. A plywood wall winds throughout, guiding the visitor through the space. The wall serves several functional purposes along the way.

在入口处和图书馆里，它起着架子的作用。在前台，墙壁会屏蔽隐私。在厕所所在的地方，它允许更多的隐私-这样你就不会走出浴室，走进一个人满为患的巨大仓库。在厨房和咖啡馆区，墙创造了一个更亲密的空间。

At the entry room and library it serves as shelving. At the front desk, the wall screens for privacy. Where the restrooms are, it allows for further privacy – so you don’t walk out of the bathroom into a giant warehouse full of people. In the kitchen and café area, the wall creates a more intimate space.

墙壁的木材，黑色金属和混凝土的调色板加强了亲密的感觉。

The wall’s palette of wood, black metal, and concrete reinforces the intimate feel.
