两座20世纪初的建筑物，电力大厦和水塔，已被改造成一个新的总部办公室为客户，同时仍然忠实于工业历史的现场。一个新的三层玻璃结构完成了办公大楼，并包含一个顶层露台，它连接了所有三座建筑，并提供了宏伟的景观，周围的水草地。

Two early 20th century buildings, the Power House and the Water Tower, have been converted to form a new headquarters office for the client, while remaining faithful to the industrial history of the site. A new three-storey glazed structure completes the office complex and incorporates a top-floor terrace which links all three buildings and gives magnificent views out over the adjacent water meadows.
