架构师提供的文本描述。我们的客户的主要要求之一是要有一个生活空间，在那里，人们总是能感受到家庭的存在。作为回应，我们设计了一个没有列的单间布局，它利用了现有仓库的独特特性。

Text description provided by the architects. One of our client’s major requirements was for a living space where the presence of the family would always be felt. In response, we devised a single-roomed layout without columns that took advantage of the distinctive features of the existing warehouse.

为了满足这对爱吃的夫妻夫妇的需要，他们安装了一个大厨房。然后，我们设想了整个生活空间，把厨房作为一个焦点，围绕着厨房展开各种其他活动和功能。在这个单人房空间里，我们还为孩子们建造了一个盒子式的结构，上面有一个阁楼卧室，还有一个包括卧室和浴室在内的私人房间。

A large kitchen was installed to cater to the needs of the food-loving husband-and-wife couple. We then conceived the entire living space by taking the kitchen as a focal point, with a mix of various other activities and functions unfolding around it. Within this single-roomed space, we also created a box-like structure with a loft bedroom for the children on top of it, and private quarters including a bedroom and bathroom inside it.

为了最大限度地减少这一巨大空间内的热损失，在墙壁、地板和天花板上添加了100毫米的聚氨酯泡沫层，同时在起居室安装了一个热和动力组合装置，以加热水和提供地板供暖。所有的开口都是通过使用现有的窗扇和门来设计的，而玻璃都是经过双层玻璃处理来提高绝缘性能的。

In order to minimize heat loss within this massive space, a 100mm layer of urethane foam was added to the walls, floors and ceiling, while a combined heat and power device was installed in the living room to heat water and provide floor heating. All openings were designed by making use of existing sash windows and doors, while glass panes were all given a double-glazing treatment to improve insulation.

建筑的外观保持原状，以便与周围的社区融为一体，同时也是出于成本考虑。结果是一个舒适，豪华的住宅，有效地利用了现有的功能，同时也避免了过多的开支。

The façade of the building was left intact in an effort to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood, as well as due to cost considerations. The result was a comfortable, luxurious home that made effective use of existing features while also avoiding excessive expense.
