这个委托包括两个独立的委托。第一个是在48英尺宽150英尺深的 “聚会 “场地上开发一栋两层的混合用途建筑。第二个挑战是设计一种新的接待类型：用于娱乐性消费大麻的大麻酒廊。

This commission encompassed two separate commissions. The first one was to develop a two-story mixed-use building on a 48 feet wide by 150 feet deep “party” lot. The second challenge consisted of the design of a new typology of hospitality: a cannabis lounge for the recreational consumption of Marihuana.

该项目面向博尔德的市中心历史区，这是一个建于1880年左右的地标性区域，大多数地块都有25英尺宽的砖砌墙。二战后，这些建筑中很多都用金属和预制外墙板进行了现代化改造。

The project faces Boulder’s Downtown Historic District, a Landmark area built around 1880 where most of the lots are 25 feet wide with brick party walls. After World War II plenty of these buildings were modernized with metal and precast facade panels.

我们确定了19世纪80年代最具特色的形式元素：两面砖墙；上层有突出的屋顶檐口和4’x8’垂直比例的窗户；底层有大型店面展示窗、凹陷的入口、展示窗隔板和暴露的铸铁柱。

We identified the most characteristic formal elements of the 1880s: two brick party walls; an upper story with a prominent roof cornice and 4’x8’ vertically proportioned windows; ground floor with large storefront display windows, recessed entrances, display window bulkheads and exposed cast iron columns.

我们抽象出这些元素来设计立面，应用当代材料，并参考了本世纪中期的模块化和预制板系统。因此，上层用安装在支架上的白色铝制板条解决了灰泥饰面，用4’x8’的大型可操作窗户创造出一种模式，并在顶部折叠创造出檐口；底层用12’高的玻璃板、铝框、铝包层和圆形白色钢柱。

We abstracted these elements to design the facade, applying contemporary materials with a reference to the modular and prefabricated panel systems from the mid-century. Therefore, the upper level is solved with aluminum white crate panels mounted on brackets over a stucco finish, creating a pattern with large 4’x8’ operable windows and folding on the top creating the cornice; the ground floor with 12’ high glass panels, aluminum frames, aluminum cladding, and circular white steel columns.

由于街道层需要为三种不同的用途提供单独的入口，我们建议在立面两侧设置两个对称的凹陷入口。招待所的入口在东端，办公空间的入口在西侧，零售店面在两者之间。

Since the street level required separate entrances for the three different uses, we proposed two symmetrical recessed entrances on both sides of the facade. The entrance to the hospitality is on the East end and the entrance to the office space is on the West side, with the retail storefront running in between.

由于大麻招待所需要一个没有窗户的空间，我们把它放在底层的后面区域。为了给空间带来自然光，我们构思了一个16×16英尺的大天窗，通过一个金色的铝制板条阻碍了内外的直接视觉接触，让光线充斥整个空间。天窗成为一个开放的天井，在二楼有一个露台，有助于组织办公空间。从截面上看，天窗和天井共同组成了一个倒置的梯形金字塔，将自然光均匀地引入整个深层平面。一些植被坐落在天窗的周边。

As the marihuana hospitality required a space deprived of windows, we placed it on the back area of the ground floor. In order to bring natural light to the space, we conceived a large 16×16 feet skylight flooding the space with light through a gold aluminum crate that impedes direct visual contact between inside and outside. The skylight becomes an open patio with a terrace on the second floor that contributes to organizing the office space. In section, the skylight and the patio work together as an inverted terraced pyramid, bringing natural light uniformly throughout the deep floor plan. Some vegetation sits on the perimeter of the skylight.

办公空间的前庭有一个白色的穿孔金属楼梯，悬挂在天花板上，楼梯上有从原建筑中回收的背光再生木踏板。二楼被整体构想为办公室出租，是一个开放的平面，有一个分配浴室的服务栏，一个小厨房，和垂直循环。通过长窗墙和铝制板条箱的外墙，办公室利用了壮观的铁板房景观。

The vestibule of the office space is crowned with a white perforated metal staircase suspended from the ceiling with backlit reclaimed wood treads recovered from the original building. The second floor, conceived as an office rental in its entirety, is an open plan with a service bar allocating bathrooms, a kitchenette, and vertical circulation. Through the long-windowed wall and the aluminum crate facade, the office takes advantage of the spectacular Iron flats views.
