对于举办形形色色活动的场所，北京面临着不断增长的需求。作为一个从工业遗产型向服务型快速转型的城市，北京需拥有用来举办商务会议、产品推介会及休闲活动的空间。过去，酒店为正式活动提供了宴会厅；综合工业园则为非正式活动提供类似设施。然而，鉴于前者静态形态以及后者的匮乏，无论酒店抑或综合工业园均无法提供适应公司当下需求的设施。现代企业和组织更倾向于选择一个介于二者之间的折中场所。

Beijing has a growing demand for places to host different kinds of events. As a city in rapid transformation from an industrial heritage into the service sector, it requires spaces to hold business meetings, product presentations and leisure activities. In the past, hotels offered ballrooms for formal events, while industrial compounds did the same for less formal activities. However, neither hotels nor industrial compounds can offer installations suitable to the current demands of companies, due to the static appearance of the first and the lack of adequacy of the latter. Modern companies and organizations prefer spaces with dynamic and integral features.

位于北京河南岸的这座既有混凝土建筑，占地空间为1000平方米，被翻新改造成为一处曼妙的空间，足以游刃有余地满足众多公司的需求。北面，原有的锯齿形屋顶被深色钢质面板以及大大的窗户环抱；西外立面承担了大楼主要入口之功能。铜质面板延续了内部装饰的一贯风格。

Located by the south bank of the Beijing River, an existing concrete structure with a space of 1,000 square meters has been renovated to create a refined space, yet flexible enough to serve the needs of multiple companies.To the north, dark steel panels and large windows enclose a preexisting saw-tooth roof, while the west facade functions as the main entrance to the building. It also presents copper panels that find continuity in the interior.

步入大楼，可见七米高大堂，北侧被两层画廊环抱，作为服务空间。一楼自然而然化身为入口与接待大厅。二楼转换成人们在活动之余随意闲聊之场所。

Once inside, two-story galleries to the north that function as service spaces surround the seven-meter high auditorium. The first floor becomes the natural entrance and reception lobby. The second floor then becomes a place for casual conversation after the events.
