美國工作室JHL設計利用“光和影的相互作用”和其他經典的日本原理，將波特蘭的一個空置的閣樓改造成了一家技術公司的辦公空間。
US studio JHL Design emphasised “the interplay of light and shadow” and other classic Japanese principles when turning a vacant penthouse in Portland into a tech firm’s office space.
波特蘭市中心的建築始建於1927年，盡管在項目啟動之前已經空了很多年。 俯瞰城市的大型玻璃窗使它成為該技術公司新辦公室的理想選擇。
The downtown Portland building was constructed in 1927, though had been empty for many years before the project was initiated. Large glass windows that overlook the city lent to its desirability as a new office for a technology company.
JHL Design的創意總監Liz Morgan堅持保留混凝土斜牆，以增強空間的粗糙感。“牆壁是建築物豐富的曆史質感的一部分。雙重斜坡的屋頂和山牆屋頂窗增加了建築物的曆史感。”在處理混凝土地麵時，還意外地發現了古老的水磨石殘餘物。
Concrete angled walls enhance the feeling of roughness in the space, which Liz Morgan, JHL Design’s creative director, was adamant on keeping.”The walls are a part of the building’s rich historical texture,The mansard roof and gabled dormers are particularly unusual for an office space and add to the historical quality of the building.”Old terrazzo remnants were unearthed unexpectedly while treating the concrete floors.
與傳統的辦公室不同，中央空間被打開，“以突出高高的天花板和傾斜的建築”。自由流動的設計被選擇為更適合休閑聚會、靈活的工作空間和公共餐飲。
In contrast to traditional offices, the central space was left opened “to accentuate the high ceilings and angled architecture”. The free-flowing design was chosen to be more suitable for casual gatherings, flexible work space and communal dining.
Morgan設想了一個私密的電梯入口，這樣可以創造一個有趣的過渡，讓你走進一個明亮的、通高的空間。較低的天花板和深色的牆紙也會掩蓋頭頂上的機械設備。
Morgan envisioned an intimate entryway off of the elevator that would create an interesting transition walking into the brighter, full-height space. The lower ceiling and dark-stained wallpaper would also conceal mechanical equipment overhead.
由於客戶曾在京都居住了數年，這對日本的形式和材料產生了微妙的情感。 Morgan選擇了阿拉斯加黃柏來建造辦公室牆壁係統。 與此相輔相成的是手工編織的紡織品和地毯、紋理紋理的石頭、手工上釉的瓷磚和隨著時間推移自然泛黃的鑄銅。
JHL Design’s clients had also lived in Kyoto for several years, which influenced subtle nods to Japanese forms and materials. Morgan selected Alaskan Yellow Cedar for the construction of the office wall system. Complementing the aesthetic are hand-woven textiles and rugs, textured stone, hand-glazed ceramic tiles, and cast bronze that naturally patinas over time.
她說：“在對日本建築的探索中，我們受到對光與影相互作用的啟發，創造出喚起情感和感官反應的詩意時刻。”
“In our exploration of Japanese architecture, we were inspired by the emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow to create poetic moments that evoke emotional and sensorial responses,” she said.
