架构师提供的文本描述。作为一家平面设计公司，在他们要求我们设计他们的新总部之前，我们已经和Cortina进行了长期的合作。Cortina是一家礼品批发公司。这是我们的第一个建筑任务。

科尔蒂纳堡建在位于阿姆斯特丹IJ河岸的前造船厂NDSM码头上。在这种恶劣的环境下，我们设计了一座看起来像莫罗坎要塞的办公室和仓库。一种整体结构，表面粗糙，有金属化的砖墙，内部庭院光滑，内衬有雪松木。

Fort Cortina is built on the premises of the NDSM-wharf, a former shipyard located on the banks of the river IJ in Amsterdam. In this harsh environment we designed an office and warehouse building that looks like a Morrocan fort. A monolithic structure, rough on the outside with metallized brick walls and smooth on the inside patios that are lined with cedar wood.

正面的动态布局反映了不同房间的高度和大小。这是我们打算在河上设计一座令人兴奋的室内景观的结果。隐藏的房间和暴露的房间。

The dynamic lay-out of the facades is a reflection of the different rooms that vary in height and size. A result of our intention to make an exciting interior with small and big views over the river. Rooms to hide and rooms to expose.

一栋几乎适合住宅的商业建筑。这座建筑壁炉边的露台灵感来自于一次寺院之旅。这是一种反射的空间，也是给室内照明的一种方式，也是创造室外游憩区的一种方式，屋顶上有人行道，种植有刚玉，以达到最佳的室内气候控制。

A commercial building that almost fits like a home. The patios at the hearth of the building are inspired on a monastery tour. A space for reflection and a way to give light to the interior and to create outdoor recreation areas with footpaths on the roof, which is planted with sedum for an optimal indoor climate control.
