我们面临的挑战是在历史背景下整合新建筑，而不对建筑语言做出任何让步。我们的态度是通过构思灵活、明亮和不受结构约束的空间，在内部保留原有建筑的工业特性。

Our challenge was to integrate the new building within the historical context, without any concession on the architectural language. Our attitude was to preserve the industrial character of the former construction in the inside, by conceiving flexible, luminous and free from structural constraints spaces.

为此，保留了由支撑混凝土地板的金属柱组成的初始结构，并对服务空间进行了合理化调整，以尽可能地解放生活空间。此外，滑动门允许多样化的用途和配置，在不同的公寓。

To do so, the initial structure made of metallic columns supporting concrete floors has been kept, and the service spaces have been rationalized to liberate the living spaces as much as possible. Also, sliding doors allow diversifying the uses and configurations inside the different apartments.

在外部，最初由铝板构成的前立面已被完全拆除，取而代之的是由一个黑色金属框架内的白色石头(“法国码头”)组成的当代外观。窗户是用铝制框架双层玻璃制成的(Schuco)。

In the outside, the front elevation initially made of aluminum panels has been completely removed and replaced by a contemporary façade composed of white stones (“pierres de France”) enclosed in a black metal frame. The windows are made of double glazing with aluminum frames (Schuco).

由于现有的结构，高地得到了一个“免费”的设计，就像它通常是在大型办公楼。旧砖块的后立面已被部分拆除，以创建大窗户，提供对南方向的私人露台的看法。建筑的顶层是锌(黑色版VM锌)。

Due to the existing structure the elevations got a “free of charges” design like it’s usually done in the big offices buildings. The rear elevation in old bricks has been partially demolished to create large windows offering views on the privative terraces with south orientation. The top floor of the building is clad with zinc (black version VM Zinc).

至于地势方面，每间公寓内所用物料的质素，已引起不少关注。地板都是用光滑的混凝土做的，厨房的中央单元是用inox和木头(Bankirai)做的，还有马赛克(Bisazza)的浴室，家具用的是科里安。(漆包中密度纤维板黑色板的结构)。我们的工作之一也是特别注意保温系统，并合理和生态地利用能源，特别是利用天然太阳能电池板供应热水。

As for the elevations, a lot of attention has been brought to the quality of the materials used inside each apartment. The floors are all made of smooth concrete, the kitchen's central unit is made of inox and wood (Bankirai), and the bathrooms of mosaics (Bisazza), with the furniture in Corian. (Structure in black panels of lacquered MDF). One of our preoccupations was also to specially take care of the insulation system, and to have a rational and ecological use of the energy, notably by the use of natural of solar panels for the hot water supply.
