Żnin 糖厂建于十九世纪晚期，直到 2004 年，工人都在这里用甜菜制糖。由于工业结构重组，工厂被关闭，原来的建筑也将被彻底销毁。ARCHE 买下了这栋综合体，希望重新唤起这些破败建筑的活力，同时尊重它们的历史价值，保留几代人带来的变化、美学特征以及多样的工艺。

The Żnin sugar factory was built in the late 19th century. Up until 2004, it operated producing sugar from beets. As a result of industrial restructuring, it was closed down and the buildings of the complex were ultimately designated for demolition. ARCHE subsequently purchased the complex with the goal of renovating the factory and reviving the valuable, but collapsing buildings, while endeavoring to respect their historical value, the changes made to them over generations, and their aesthetic and technical diversity.

设计师从项目伊始就十分关注历史的保护，保留了几乎所有旧工厂中的元素，连螺丝和铁屑都没有遗漏。尽管老糖厂中的大型元素都置入了新的功能，人们还是可以看到它们本来的样貌。小的元素也被保存并运用在了室内设计中，使得整个项目维持了一种自然的真实性。进入主楼，人们首先感受到的是这里依然是一座“工厂”，从粗犷简洁的空间到温馨亲密的氛围，全方位刺激着你的感官。

From the onset of the project, the firm focused on preserving the history of the building by retaining almost all elements of the old factory, right down to its screws and sheet scraps. Although large elements of the old sugar factory now interact with new functions, they are still quite visible. Smaller elements were also maintained and incorporated into the interior design and, collectively, the whole project has retained its natural authenticity.

Upon entering the main building, the first impression is that it still serves as a “factory”, with a saturation of stimuli ranging from rough simplicity to emotional characteristics of intimacy and warmth.

对于设计来说，掌控如此一栋综合体建筑无疑是一项挑战，在这样巨大的空间内布置功能和流线需要花费大量时间。尽管如此，建筑师将这种复杂性看作项目的独特财产。施工要求对新结构进行荷载计算，同时加固老的构件。建筑内部的设施与室内设计合并，保证对基地工业遗产的留存。

Mastering the form of such a complex building proved to be a design challenge, and creating a layout of functions and communication within the vast space was time consuming. Nevertheless, the architects approached that complexity as a unique asset. Construction required load transfer calculations of the new structures, while reinforcing the old parts. The installation inside the building was incorporated into the interior design, and the firm ensured the conservation of the site’s industrial heritage.

综合体总共包括 27 栋建筑。原有结构无一拆除，全部被植入了新的功能，其中一些还在建造。室内设计希望同周围景观建立连接，老旧的石材铺地被保留，卡车、管道、桅杆等设施也保持不变。这些元素将整个项目连结在了一起，让人们在迈进大门的一瞬间就融入到了基地独有的氛围之中。

In its entirety, the complex consists of 27 buildings. None of the existing structures were demolished, and all were assigned new functions (some are still in progress). The approach to the interiors embraced connections to the surrounding landscape, with old stone pavement being restored, and trucks, pipes, masts, and other equipment remaining where it was. That tied the whole project together, infusing recognizable character into the site from the moment the entrance gates are crossed.
