架构师提供的文本描述。一位艺术家和她的工程师丈夫最近在普罗维登斯的珠宝区买了一套阁楼。360-0体系结构被要求将阁楼转换成两个人的活动/工作区，为每个客户维护独特的设计空间。

Text description provided by the architects. An artist and her engineer husband had recently purchased a loft in Providence's jewelry district. 3six0 Architecture was asked to convert the loft into a live/work area for the two individuals, maintaining distinct spaces to be uniquely designed for each client.

“双阁楼”业主挑战360，承认他们的长期和承诺的关系，同时庆祝他们的独特性和个人笔。在编程上，大多数空间保持独立和重复；太阳房、入口和公用室是唯一规划的具有平等访问权限的空间。

The "double loft" owners challenged 3six0 to acknowledge their long and committed relation, while celebrating their uniqueness and personal penchants. Programmatically, most spaces remain separate and duplicate; a sun room, entry, and utility room are the only spaces planned with equal access.

在阁楼能够连贯地阅读之前，它必须被分开。未经处理的空间的梯形几何学，由周围的城市结构决定，有大量的凸起，角度，和尴尬的位置柱强加任何简单的空间划分。一个长角度的侧面倾斜到柱状网格，满足了他对最困难和最动态的条件的亲和力，而传统的柱状区域的简单性吸引了她的接受能力。

Before the loft could read coherently, it had to be divided. The trapezoidal geometry of the untreated space, determined by the surrounding urban fabric, had plenty of bumps, angles, and awkwardly located columns to impose any simple division of the space. A long-angled side skewed to the column grid accommodated his affinity for the most difficult and dynamic condition, while the simplicity of the traditional columned area appealed to her receptivities.

她喜欢照明，通风和宁静的空间；他喜欢原材料，烤牛排和工作汽车。根据这些线索，36 0开发了两个建筑字符，“云”和“堆栈”。“云”漂浮，从天花板向下生长，有柔软的圆角，看上去是无缝的、非物质的、白色的或半透明的。“堆叠”是非常构造的，你可以看到零件，角度调整和材料，通常木材或中密度纤维板与钢的细节。这两个阁楼空间是通过混合云层和堆叠成墙壁和存储空间来组织的。每个角色都有相应的位置，堆叠在他的一边，云彩在她的身上，然而，其中一个从不孤立于另一个。

She likes illuminated, airy, and serene spaces; he likes raw materials, grilling steaks and working on cars. From those clues, 3six0 developed two architectural characters, "cloud" and "stack." "Cloud" floats, grows down from the ceiling, has soft rounded corners and appears seamless, immaterial, white, or translucent. "Stack" is very constructed; you can see the parts, the angular adjustments and the material, usually wood or mdf with steel details. The two loft spaces were organized by mingling cloud and stack into walls and storage spaces. Each character is positioned accordingly, stack on his side and cloud on hers, however, one is never in isolation from the other.

个案工作和细节工作继续她和他的对话(云彩和堆栈)。他的作品被认为是堆叠的书，慢慢地扩展，从封闭的橱柜转变为开放式的书架。在她这一边，案件工作继续抽象地堆叠，修改了玻璃门和一个更完整的表达方式。

Casework and detailing continue the conversation between hers and his (cloud and stack). His casework was literally conceived as stacked volumes slowly spreading and transforming from closed cabinets to open shelves. On her side the casework continues the stack abstractly, modified with glass doors and a more monolithic expression.

云层在两个空间之间漫游，在双方之间进行协商。她的卧室是一个鸟巢，轻轻地拥抱在云中；在他的一边，云层推开堆积物，调和了长长的中密度纤维板和钢制起居室的墙壁。

Cloud wanders through both spaces and negotiates between the two sides. Her bedroom is a nest, gently embraced in cloud; on his side cloud pushes through stack, tempering the long mdf and steel living room wall.

双阁楼的建筑空间是为了支持和代表这对夫妇的独立安排而设计的。对立的元素(云和堆栈)为这两个个体和交织在一起的生活提供了一种语言。

The architectural spaces of the double lofts are designed to support and represent the independent arrangements of this couple. The opposing elements (cloud and stack) provide a language for the two individual and intertwined lives.
