现有的历史石灰石建筑物(包括1904年起的旧面粉仓库)之间正在进行重建。新面粉仓库的目的是作为该季度的一个新的焦点，该项目由三卷组成；旧面粉仓库有两层，新面粉仓库和中庭将两者连接在一起。底层是零售，楼上都是办公室。

On-going redevelopment takes place between the  existing historical limestone buildings, including the Old Flour Storage from 1904.  The New Flour Storage was aimed to form a plaza as a new focal point of the quarter.  The project consists of three volumes; the Old Flour Storage with 2 additional stories, the New Flour Storage and the Atrium connecting the two.  Ground floor is for retail and all upstairs are for offices.

我们的方法是通过发现和采纳周围环境的特征来联系和强化历史街区的特征，在立面拼合方面，我们将墙与窗开孔的比例抽象为旧工业建筑的特征，以主立面材料Cor&10钢为主要材料，其性能适合于现有的粗糙表面环境；石灰石墙，砖墙和生锈的钢铁细节。它向该地区的工业历史致敬。

Our approach was to relate and strengthen the character of historical quarter through finding and adopting the character of the surroundings.  For facade articulation we have abstracted proportion of wall versus window openings as a character of old industrial buildings.  For main facade material cor-ten steel was chosen for its property fitting to the existing surroundings of rough surfaces; limestone walls, brick lintels and rusted steel details.  It pays homage to the area's industrial past.

新的面粉储藏室将是办公室与广场之间的“沟通墙”，窗户由三个尺寸组成；75厘米x 75厘米，2m×2m，地面高度上较大的，小的是框架的，同时带来新鲜的空气，中间的是与人类的尺度有关的。最大的是提供广场和旧城的全景，悬臂式的大窗户打破了建筑物的均匀长方形轮廓，在办公空间中提供了特殊的空间，供会议室或公共区域，可以看到全景。

The New Flour Storage is to be a ' Communication Wall' between offices and the plaza.  The windows consists of three sizes; 75cm x 75cm, 2m x 2m, larger ones over floor height.  The small ones are to frame  the views as well as to bring fresh air, the middle ones are to relate to the human scale, and the biggest is to provide the panorama view of the plaza and the Old Town.  The cantilevered bigger windows breaks the homogeneous rectangular outline of the building and offers special place among office space for meeting room or communal area with panorama views.
