以德国科隆-中国北京为工作核心的建筑事务所RSAA/庄子玉工作室刚刚完成了他们在北京古城中轴线上的新办公室的建筑及室内改造。此项目将一座临近北京老城传承600年的地标– 钟鼓楼的老四合院改造成了新的办公空间。

The Chinese-German office RSAA/ Büro Ziyu Zhuang renovated their office in the Beijingcentral axis. The project, which is next to the tallest ancient landmarks of Beijing for more than 600 years – Drum Tower and Bell Tower- is adopted from a traditional Beijing-style courtyard; Siheyuan in Dongjiaogan Hutong.

最初的设计目的是在满足建筑事务所办公需求的同时，创造一种无时效的空间语汇以及对周遭空间文脉特征的引入和吸纳。因此，此次改造的方式被组织成了三个阶段：1.以传统的工艺恢复/展示一些建筑的原有部分；2.在此基础之上，植入一个“无时效的箱体”作为新生功能和空间的“发生器”；3.在新的空间格局之下，重新处理内外一系列空间界面；4.在新的界面的串联之下产生新的立体的空间序列。

The design target was to build a timeless workshop whilst embracing the surround cultural context into the yard. Therefore, the renovation was organized into 4 steps; 1. Refurbishing the old section using the traditional method; 2. Insert a “timeless box” as a “functional generator”; 3. Reform the interface of the new yard space; 4. Organize the new space sequences under the link of the new interfaces.

为达成上述目的，在清除了部分原有不必要的装饰面并将原有的古建结构暴露出来后，庄子玉和其团队在原有的工字型院落中置入了一个自承重结构体系的玻璃体块，将北房东房西房作为连续空间联系起来，以获得更高的办公效率。

To achieve the goals, after cleaning up some old unnecessary interfaces and exposed original traditional structures, Ziyu Zhuang and the team built a free-standing T-shaped volume made with glass to combine the original northern room, western room and eastern room in order to form a more efficient working environment.

通过上述手段，庄子玉将传统一进院空间的单一界面进行了重新组织，在一系列的空间曲折与序列之上创造了若干新的空间节点的可能。

With the step-by-step approach explained above, Ziyu Zhuang converted a single yard space with one single image into a multi-layered space that follows its own narrative sequence. Some small interesting spaces, therefore, appear along the new path.

由于胡同条件限制，室外机被巧妙集中在工字院西北角的半透明的光井之中，配以人工绿植及磨砂玻璃，反而成为新的视线焦点。厨房改造利用隔壁院落的外墙(灰色)以节省材料，同时将原有结构部分(红色)，表面瓷砖(绿色)重新加以利用，形成新的室内空间，以致整个厨房改造成本不到5000元。

One small yard on the north-western wing of the T-shape volume was filled with AC outdoor units from different rooms and artificial green plants as a “camouflaged green light well” behind an opaque glass wall. The kitchen space shares the wall with its neighbor, whilst reusing the original structural components (red) and original tiles (green). The overall construction cost of the kitchen was less than 5000Yuan(700USD).

包括土建成本水暖电及家具的整体改造的造价被有效控制在了 20 万人民币以内。RSAA 相信这个改造项目在相对低成本的条件下融合了传统和当代的精神，在北京的老城更新中会有较好的示范意义。

And the total construction cost was very efficiently controlled to be within 200,000RMB(30,000USD) including the MEP and furniture cost. RSAA believe this renovation could be a great symbol of the link between the traditional Chinese lifestyle and the modern space visions under low cost.

新的T型体块东北脚室内增设一个的综合书柜同时充当了通向屋顶平台的楼梯，通过此平面的抬升，人的视野得到了极大拓展。登上平台即可将钟楼鼓楼的视线尽收眼底。

One bookcase on the north-eastern wing of the T-shape volume also plays a role as a staircase to the rooftop level, where the views of the two ancient towers are introduced into the yard.

同样由于活动界面的抬升，以及屋面承重结构的加固，原有的坡屋面变成了“唾手可得”的新的活动平台，成为使用者新的的纳凉午休及嬉戏的空间。

Also, in this case, after strengthening the structure for loading, the pitched roof become the 3rd level of the activity space for office chatting, social gatherings and can even be a place for staff to relax and take a nap.

北屋的挑高空间也被充分利用，在入驻时的石膏吊顶被拆除后，原有木构形式被再次打开，上层空间被若干个箱体及反射面所占据，作为模型展示之用，与外露的建筑结构相得益彰，同时也潜在传递了RSAA事务所以建构文化为先导的设计哲学。

The high space in the northern room became the model display space, and together with the re-exposed tradition structural components such as the rafters, crescent beams and purlins, creates a very strong architectonic “image” with the wooden models, a concept that is also linked tightly with RSAA’s design philosophy.
