Kogaa建筑事务所将破旧的捷克酒厂改造为合作空间

Kogaa converts crumbling Czech distillery into fuss-free co-working space

Distillery是位于捷克布尔诺（Brno, Czech Republic）的一个合作空间，未完工的墙壁、老化的天花板梁和废弃电梯竖井中的酒吧成为这里独有的特色。

当地Kogaa建筑事务所将以前的一座酒厂进行改造，设计成工作空间，但保留了大部分建筑。

The Distillery is a co-working space in Brno, Czech Republic, featuring unfinished walls, ageing ceiling beams and a drinks bar in a disused elevator shaft.

Locally based architecture studio Kogaa converted a former distillery to create the workspace, but decided to leave much of the building unchanged.

这是由建筑师发起的全新的社会项目，目的是重新利用废弃的建筑。

最初在19世纪初，这家酒厂由一个犹太家庭所经营，后来大部分建筑遭到损坏,而后即将拆除。但是Kogaa建筑事务所介入了这个项目，想要让这座建筑得以重生。

It forms the first project of a new social enterprise launched by the architects, aiming to repurpose abandoned or decaying structures.

Initially run by a Jewish family in the early 19th century, the distillery was largely ruined and set for demolition. But Kogaa stepped in with the idea of giving the building a new life.

Kogaa建筑事务所的创始合伙人Alexandra Georgescu告诉Dezeen的记者：“我们构思了这里的工作方式，但我们不能一次性重建它，因此我们开始在最小的空间里进行重建。”

她补充说：“除了修复过程外，我们还突出建筑的可识别性。”

"We had a vision on how the place could work but we couldn't afford to reconstruct it all at once, therefore we started with practical reconstructions in the smallest of spaces," Alexandra Georgescu, founding partner of Kogaa, told Dezeen.

"More than a restoration process, we carried out work to highlight the building's recognisable and unique features," she added.

建筑师将大楼第二层和第三层之间的天花板敲开，形成通高空间。该空间根据来访者的要求，可用于讲座、研讨会或其他演示。

以前的第三层现在改为夹层，聚碳酸酯塑料瓦楞板组成了私人办公室。

The practice began by knocking out the ceiling between the building's second and third floors, forming a double-height space that can be used for lectures, workshops or other presentations, depending on the requirements of visitors.

The former third floor now acts as a mezzanine level, with some parts fronted by panels of corrugated polycarbonate plastic to create private offices.

Georgescu解释说：“酒厂的成长和变化过程逐步发生，而且现在仍在继续。它直接受当地市场及其需求的影响。”

除保留了酒厂的金属窗框和地砖外，建筑师还留下了几堵墙。原来的电梯舱现在改为酒吧，酒吧面对室外庭院，游客可以在那里坐下来放松身心。

"The process of growth and change in the distillery happened – and is still happening – gradually. It's directly influenced by the local market and its needs," Georgescu explained.

As well as preserving the distillery's metal window frames and floor tiles, the architects have also left several of the walls in their found state. The original elevator cabin now serves as a drinks bar, which opens onto an outdoor courtyard where visitors can sit and relax.

整座建筑的其他装饰都很简单，大多数房间都有架子单元和不规则形状的粉红色桌子，它们由过去的装置中回收的木材制成。

Decor throughout the building has otherwise been kept simple – most of the rooms feature shelving units and irregularly-shaped pink tables made from timber that the practice recycled from past installations or exhibition sets.

同样，今年早些时候，Emrys建筑事务所将伦敦一家上市的钢铁厂改造成共用办公室。室内设计师Chiara de Rege对布鲁克林的一家旧纸厂进行了彻底改造，建成了Wing会所的第三家分店，该会所只向女性开放。

Similarly, earlier this year Emrys Architects transformed a listed ironworks in London into shared offices. Meanwhile interior designer Chiara De Rege recently overhauled an old paper factory in Brooklyn to create the third outpost of women-only co-working club The Wing.
