该项目是 “社会反应器”（Social Reactor）的第一个原型。”社会反应器 “是KOGAA的慢速发展实验室，旨在解决不活跃结构的问题，并将其改造为替代功能。在这个有着深厚纺织业历史的后工业城市的背景下，酒厂是一个具有代表性的例子，说明一个空置的财产如何能够成为一个充满活力的地方，在周围社区和城市生活的城市和经济转型中发挥积极作用。

The project is the first prototype of Social Reactor, KOGAA’ s slow development lab tackling the problematic of inactive structures and their adaptation into substitute functions. Within the context of a post-industrial city with a strong past in the textile production, The Distillery is a representative example of how a vacant property can become a vibrant location, playing an active role on the urban and economic transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and life of the city.

最新和最有影响的结构干预措施之一是在建筑的第二和第三层进行的，在那里，中央梁系统被拆除，以创造一个双高的大厅和两个面对中央空间的阳台。前者是为了演讲、讲座和研讨会，而上面的阳台则是设计师的工作室和办公室。这座四层楼的建筑原本是一个犹太家庭在19世纪初建立的蒸馏厂的一部分，是七座相连的建筑中最后一座。新的项目分布在建筑的所有三层，多种功能分布在不同的空间，创造了一个充满活力和挑战的工作环境。

One of the latest and most impactive structural interventions was carried out at the second and third level of the building, where the central beam system was removed to create a double height hall and two balconies facing the central space. The former is meant for presentations, lectures, and workshops, while the upper balconies are dedicated to designers’ ateliers and offices. Originally part of a Distillate factory founded by a Jewish family in the early years of the 19th century, the four-story structure is the last one standing out of seven connected buildings. The new programme is distributed across all three levels of the building, and the multiple functions are spread out across different spaces, creating a dynamic and challenging working environment.

在新住户入住后主办的一系列项目的推动下，所有恢复性的干预措施都是为了通过其固有的品质来最好地利用这些空间。例如，在其作为协同工作中心的最新阶段之前，主厅曾作为活动场所，后来又作为艺术电影院。隔热和隔音的需要导致了沿着墙壁安装了连续的橡胶条。最近，引入了一个双层盒子状的附加物，以容纳一个共享会议室、一个小厨房、一个图书馆和其上部的工作空间。这个木质结构完全由以前的活动中回收的材料建成，周围是聚碳酸酯和波纹塑料。

Driven by the succession of programs hosted since its new occupants moved in, all restoring interventions were carried out in order to best utilize the spaces through their inherited qualities. For instance, before its latest stage as a coworking center, the main hall used to function as an event venue and later as an art cinema. The need for heat and acoustic insulation led to the installation of a continuous rubber strip along its walls. Most recently, a double floor box-like addition was introduced to accommodate a shared meeting room, a kitchenette, a library and working spaces on its upper part. Entirely built out of recycled materials from previous events, the wooden structure is surrounded by polycarbonate and corrugated plastic.

为了提高创意空间内的服务质量，通过使用现有的历史电梯，在内院引入了一个酒吧。它的机舱被改造成准备区，同时，它的轴作为安装管道工作，允许使用更复杂的设备。机舱的有限尺寸当然使它成为全国最小的酒吧。 市中心缺乏宽敞而实惠的空间，导致KOGAA的建筑师们越来越有兴趣，在Social Reactor的保护伞下，寻找新的合作伙伴，找到有可能重新改造和适应的新空间。

In order to improve the qualities of services within the creative spaces, a bar was introduced in the inner yard, by engaging the existing historical elevator. Its cabin was transformed into the preparation area, meanwhile, its shaft is working as the installation duct, allowing the use of more complex equipment. The limited size of the cabin certainly makes it the smallest bar in the country. The lack of spacious yet affordable spaces in the city center leads to a growing interest from the architects of KOGAA, under the umbrella of Social Reactor, to find new partners and locate new spaces with the potential of reconversion and adaptation.
