本项目将一座荒废了的陆地仓库改造成了一座有着明亮的空间的住宅，它不仅改善了基地状况，更将活力带回了这个被人们忽略依旧的地方。

This conversion project creates a home from a dilapidated and landlocked warehouse, transforming it into a light-filled house that not only improves the area but brings life back to the neglected space.

建筑师将路权、地产所属人、租赁人、当地居民和一条穿过了第三方土地的长90米的服务型沟渠通通纳入考量的范围之内，希望能够更好地处理本方案在逻辑上的复杂性——在一个困难重重的基地上改造一座有重大结构问题的历史建筑。因此，建筑师将设计和施工过程进行了简化，设计了一套预制构件，使其可以在现场之外进行装配。本设计的重点在于创造一座具有工业美感的开放式两居室住宅，从而呼应了原建筑的设计用途。而这也意味着建筑师需要将原建筑彻底翻新。

Rights of way, freeholder and leaseholder consents, local residents and a 90m service trench across third party land, all added to the logistical complexities of renovating a historical building with major structural problems on a difficult site. Reduced access required a kit of parts to be designed that would be fabricated off site. The design focused on creating an open-plan, two-bedroom house with an industrial aesthetic in keeping with its original purpose. This meant the building needed to be completely renovated.

建筑师的首要任务是尽可能多地保留原有建筑并使其恢复生机。因此，在设计过程的前期，建筑师们就决定要尽可能多地保留双层通高空间。需要说明的是，这并不是为了增加利润而使建筑面积最大化。

Our priority was to retain as much of the existing building as possible and to bring it back to life. We decided early on in the design process that we wanted to retain as much of the double height space as possible. This wasn’t about maximising floor area to increase profit.
