AMAA Architecture將意大利工業城鎮Arzignano的一個舊工廠改造成了他們的新辦公室。建築團隊的靈感來自於他們所認為的建築項目的三個關鍵階段：理論——包括模型的製作、參考和靈感；秩序——將靈感轉化為有形的、概念分層的設計；以及結果——現場的實際建設。
Taking a rather meta approach, AMAA Architecture have built their own workspace within a workspace, setting up an office within a former factory in the industrial town of Arzignano, Italy. The architects were inspired by what they perceive to be the three key phases of an architectural project: theory – encompassing model making, references and inspiration; order – whereby inspiration is transformed into a tangible, conceptually layered design; and outcome – the physical construction on site.
最終的結果是一個精致的，現代的兩層樓的辦公室，成功地與之前倉庫的原始骨架區分開來，並無縫地融合在一起。在高高的拱形工廠天花板下，采用現代主義的盒子形式，辦公室由薄鋼框架、金屬屋頂和混凝土板組成。全高的玻璃板被用作室內和室外立麵，盡管辦公室本質上是建築中的建築，創造了一種開放和輕盈的感覺。
The result is a delicate, contemporary two-storey office that manages to at once distinguish itself from and blend seamlessly with the essentially untouched bones of the previous warehouse.Taking the form of a modernist box beneath the tall vaulted factory ceiling, the office comprises a thin steel frame, metal roof, and concrete slabs. Full height glass panels are used as both interior and exterior façades, creating a sense of openness and light despite the fact that the office is essentially a building within a building.
樓梯由混凝土塊和孔石雕刻而成，從一層通向另一層，並通向一個謹慎的側通道，廚房設施設置在一個木材櫃台內。粗糙的混凝土浴室牆壁看起來幾乎有點邋遢，不過光滑的黑色金屬絲錐、光滑的木板和一個凹入式的圓形天窗抵消了這一點。
Stairs are carved out of blocks of concrete and travertine, leading from one storey to the next and to a discreet side passage with kitchen amenities set within a timber counter.The raw concrete bathroom walls appear almost inappropriately grungy, though offset by sleek black metal tapware, smooth timber panels and a recessed circular skylight.
事實上，整個項目在某種程度上是不合適的，就好像建築公司在一個廢棄的倉庫裏搭起了帳篷。結構的複雜性在仔細觀察後就會顯現出來，當意識到有意生鏽的金屬框架中有玻璃牆，混凝土渲染有意地斑駁和粗糙時，設計的感覺就顯現出來了。
In fact, the entire project borders on inappropriate in the best kind of way, as if the architecture firm has set up camp in an abandoned warehouse.The fact that the intricacy of the structure reveals itself on closer inspection, upon realizing there are glass walls amongst the intentionally rusted metal framework and the concrete render is intentionally patchy and raw, that the brilliance of the design sets in.
