对两次世界大战间建筑背景的当代回应

A Contemporary Response to An Interwar Architectural Context

Wolveridge Architects所说:“我们被山墙屋顶的不对称性质所感动，将装饰艺术时期的纹理和作为时代原则的工艺装饰结合在一起。”这些关键的方面反映了建筑的反应，最初的上层建筑被重新设计成一个屋顶元素，保持了原来的两层平面，同时确保它看起来更像一个有屋顶的单层体量。

“We were moved by the asymmetrical nature of gable roofs, the incorporation of texture at the interface of the Art Deco period and the general embellishment of craftsmanship as a principle of the time,” Wolveridge Architects said. These key aspects informed the response, which saw the original upper storey re-crafted into a roof element, maintaining the original two-storey plan while ensuring it would read more akin to a single storey volume with roof.
