架构师提供的文本描述。我们的设计方法集中在建筑与周围环境的连接，建筑可持续性的表达，基本材料的简单使用，创造一个团队导向的工作环境，以及一个从一开始就真正一体化的过程。在规划之后，但在设计过程开始之前，进行了初步的能量建模和材料研究，以探索在现有建筑中进行设计干预的潜在策略。在这些研究之后，有两个社区查雷特人，其中包括社区成员、社区组织、学术机构、客户、顾问和雇员。这些查雷特被用来探索价值观，目标，期望和想法，都与建筑物和周围的社区有关。

Text description provided by the architects. Our design approach focused on the building’s connection to its surrounding environment, the architectural expression of sustainability, the simple use of basic materials, creation of a team-oriented work environment and a truly integrative process from the very beginning. After programming, but prior to the start of the design process, preliminary energy modeling and material studies were done to explore the potential strategies for design intervention in the existing building. Following these studies there were two community charettes that included members of the community, community organizations, academic institutions, clients, consultants and employees. These charettes were used to explore values, goals, expectations and ideas, both related to the building and the surrounding neighborhood.

在社区Charettes之后，与雇员一起举办讲习班，了解他们想从工作环境中得到什么；可持续性Charettes与整个设计团队(业主、建筑师、顾问和承包商)一起进行。就在这一点上，我们把笔放在纸上，开始设计大楼。

After the community charettes, workshops were conducted with the employees to learn what they wanted from their work environment and sustainability charettes were conducted with the entire design team (owner, architect, consultants and contractor). It was at this point we put pen to paper and started designing the building.

我们的设计围绕两个关键概念展开。首先是创造一个有利于所有员工的办公环境，并鼓励“偶遇”创造机会，进行创造性的互动和创造性的反思。为了实现这一目标，我们计划在建筑物内部放置单独的办公室和工作站，让外墙上的空间开放，让人们共同进入日光、景观和自然通风环境。

Our design threaded around two key concepts. The first was to create an office environment advantageous to all employees and one that encouraged “chance encounters” to generate opportunities for creative interaction and creative reflection. To accomplish this, we planned the spaces to place individual offices and workstations to the interior of the building, leaving spaces along the exterior walls open for common access to daylight, views and natural ventilation.

这些空间沿着外墙和其他区域战略地放置在办公室周围，用于会议，团队工作，小组互动和远离你的办公桌和思考的地方。这些区域中有几个位于两层“谷仓”空间的封闭办公室上方，这也有助于通过两层的互动将上层的工作室空间与“谷仓”空间连接起来。

These spaces along the exterior walls and other areas placed strategically around the office are used for meetings, team work areas, small group interaction and places to get away from your desk and think. A few of these areas are mezzanines above enclosed offices in the two-story “barn” space, which also serve to link the upper level studio space with the “barn” space through interactivity at both levels.

第二个概念是要忠于建筑及其周边地区固有的工业美学和材料，同时也要对较大小区的居住性质敏感，表达建筑的新用途。为了达到这个目的，我们把许多现有的材料融入到我们的室内设计的美学中，留下了新的材料，比如管道和它们的原始装饰，并庆祝了裸露建筑系统的表达。在建筑的外部，我们采用了白橡木覆层、铝板和灰泥。

The second concept was to stay true to the industrial aesthetic and materials already inherent in the building and immediate surrounding neighborhood, yet also be sensitive to the residential nature of the larger neighborhood and express the new use of the building. To achieve this, we incorporated many of the existing materials into the aesthetic of our interior design, left new materials like the ductwork with their raw finish and celebrated the expression of the exposed building systems. On the exterior of the building, we incorporated white oak cladding, aluminum panels and stucco.

这棵白橡树既体现了大社区作为标志性住宅的隔板的住宅构成，也体现了周边地区的工业特征，因为它有精确的线条和裸露的不锈钢紧固件；铝板则体现了专业办公室的完善和与未来的联系；而灰泥则呼应了原建筑的历史终结。

The white oak speaks to both the residential makeup of the larger neighborhood as symbolic house clapboard and the industrial character of the immediate surrounding neighborhood by its precise lines and exposed stainless steel fasteners; the aluminum panels address the refinement of a professional office and links to the future; and the stucco echoes the historic finish of the original building.
