The design of the LYCS Architecture`s new office space of the architectural firm is a renovation and update of the old penthouse space of a building in downtown Hangzhou. The original roof space was a warehouse added to the roof of the building, including an elevator machine room, fire stairwell and sloping drainage roof. The design concept creates a juxtaposition of the old warehouse space and the new office space by capturing the homogeneity, heterogeneity and temporality of the building materials. In order to highlight the interactive parallelism and dialectical relationship between the orthodox architectural language and the architectural "dialect", the design retains a series of design elements that reveal the "non-occupational" nature of the original construction: the steel frame roof is treated with white spray paint, so that the original rusted The steel roof is painted white so that the original rusted concrete beams remain as the core of the structure, the rooms are elevated with white flooring, and the five cut-out ground floor windows are set in glass to reveal the original rough sloping drainage roof, from roof to warehouse, from abandonment to reuse, the canopy of the evacuation doors and the rough mosaic walls suggest the changing definition of this space.
