一个芝加哥的开发商委托我们在一个现有的单层砖石外壳内创造一个新的办公氛围。我们的策略是强调用于建造这个简单盒子的材料的内在特征。
A Chicago developer tasked us to create a new office atmosphere within an existing single story masonry shell. Our strategy was to place emphasis on the intrinsic character of materials used to build this simple box.
首先，我们需要揭开它隐藏在旧石膏皮层后面的被遗忘的美。一旦周边被唤醒，我们就不再理会它，并开始引入一个日常 “办公空间 “所需的组件。
First, we needed to uncloak its forgotten beauty, hidden behind the layers of old gypsum skin. Once the perimeter was brought back to life, we kept clear of it, and began to introduce the components needed for an everyday “office space”.
一张超大的公共办公桌与集成存储被放置在房间的中心。在结构上由两个薄薄的穿孔金属屏支撑，办公桌似乎被切割成更小的部分，在单一的共享空间内定义了需要的多个工作区域。
An oversized communal desk with integrated storage was placed in the center of the room. Structurally supported by two thin perforated metal screens, the desks appear to be cut into smaller segments, defining multiple work areas needed within the single shared space.
这些引人注目的金属片被设计成在视觉上引人入胜，增强了现有皮肤的原始品质。为了进一步将办公室与相邻区域分开，我们引入了一个连续的黑色 “捆绑墙”，蜿蜒穿过各种程序性需求。储藏室、机械壁橱和一个私人办公室都被精心雕刻在这一单一的动作中。
These striking sheets of metal are designed to be visually intriguing, enhancing the raw qualities of an existing skin. To further separate the office from its adjacent zones, we introduced a continuous black “binding wall” snaking through various programmatic needs. Storage, mechanical closet and a private office are carefully sculpted within this single move.
通过放置大块玻璃作为隔离墙，解决了空间缺乏自然光的问题，借用光线并增加整个空间的视野。现在，居住者与他们周围的环境有了更多的联系，感觉不那么封闭。
The lack of natural daylight in the space was solved through the placement of large panes of glass as separating walls, borrowing light and adding views throughout. Now, the occupants are more connected with their immediate surroundings and feel much less contained.
