来自事务所的描述：几十年来，Mahindra and Mahindra 一直是印度农用及多用途运载车的市场领导者，因为最近开拓商用车市场，更变成一个家喻户晓的名字。从Willys Jeep到Scorpio，再到最新 的XUV500 ，他们做出优越流行的车型并给该品牌带来强大、坚固、阳刚、可靠的印象，在最近的几年中，趋向时髦发展。

From the architect. Mahindra and Mahindra has been a market leader in farm and utility vehicles in India for several decades and a household name more recently since they launched into commercial vehicles. From the Willys Jeep to the Scorpio and the more recent XUV500, they have delivered outstandingly popular vehicles that have given the brand a reputation for being robust, rugged, masculine, and dependable, in the recent few years, stylish.

Mahindra and Mahindra希望我们创造一个最前沿的设计工作室，在那里他们将设计最新的车型。该工作室是设计师的领地，在公司内部拥有特殊的地位和优越的位置，经常由该公司的高层管理人员以及由他们的国际上的合作者光顾。任务书描述工作室需要有“压倒性的设计感' ，一个可以”激励和鼓舞想法“'的“感性'的质量，能随着时间推移而”进化“和”忠于它的起源”的感觉。

Mahindra and Mahindra approached us to create a cutting edge design studio, where they would style their newest vehicles. The studio would be the designer’s domain, holding special status and pride of place in the company, and frequented by the company’s top management as well as by their international collaborators. The brief described the need for the studio to have an ‘overwhelming sense of design’, an ‘emotive’ quality that could ‘energize and inspire thoughts’, ‘evolve’ with time and feel ‘true to its origins.

设计工作室定址在堪迪维里  64英亩的M&M厂区内，伴随着低檐和灌木绿化丛—一望无垠，让人想起过去几十年的孟买，置身于周边的水泥丛林之中。这许是曾经快速发展的城市郊区如今占据高速路边土地的最后的工业园。

The site identified for the design studio was within their 64 acre M&M factory campus in Kandivili, with its low-lying sheds and lush greenery - an oasis, reminiscent of Mumbai of the bygone decades, amidst the concrete jungle surrounding it. It is perhaps the last of industrial campuses that occupied land on the highway of what was previously the outskirts of a fast growing city.

该地包括5个现有厂棚，共25，000平方英尺，外观相似并依偎如连棚。因此，该地有明显的‘工业化’特色；建筑不是最新的光鲜的预制钢件，而是相对较旧的形态—使用标准轧钢构件以手持工具制造，就地装配、焊接和栓接而成，大部分相同，但因手工建造无可避免地有不规则和不完善之处。

The site consisted of 5 existing sheds, totally 25,000 square-feet in size, nestled amongst other similar looking contiguous sheds. The character of the site was, thus, distinctly ‘industrial’; the buildings were not the latest, spit and polish, prefabricated steel types, but their older counterparts – made with hand-held tools using standard rolled steel sections that were fabricated, welded and bolted at site to create the buildings, identical for most part but with the anomalies and imperfections that arise out of being handmade.

我们将场地、环境和品牌形象的影响融合，提炼出一个运用自然光、向其工业及金属风格环境致敬的迎合其自然混凝土背景的坚硬、原始的空间概念。因为汽车和它的造型是空间最终的主角，中立很重要—工作室必须作为背景而不能抢风头。用钢材制造门和屏风等是受汽车行业广泛使用的材料的影响并进一步受到孟买丰富的传统金属制品的推动。

We assimilated the influences of site, context and brand identity to conceptualise a rugged, raw space that used natural light, celebrates its industrial and metallic context and compliments it with a neutral concrete backdrop. Neutrality was important, since the car and its styling are the ultimate protagonist in the space - the studio has to be the backdrop and not the competition!  The use of for doors, screens etc. was inspired by the extensive use of the material in the automobile industry and further impelled byMumbai’s rich tradition of metal works.

当我们开始在现场工作，该建筑被剥离，只剩下结构体系，裸露出其保留的所有缺陷并被放大。由于我们增加新墙和其他设计元素，我们能尊重结构系统，使之可见并确保新的设计能适应它;各自本色出演 – 过去的结构体系追本溯源，而新的设计属于'现在'。

As we started work at site, the buildings were stripped down to bare the structural system which was retained with all its imperfections, and strengthened. As we added new walls and other elements of design, we allowed the structural system to be celebrated, leaving it visible and ensuring that the new design adapts to it; each played its own honest role – the existing structural system grounding the space to its origins, and the new design layers belonging to the ‘now’.

当我们将新旧元素缝合在一起，工作室对“进化”和“忠实其起源”的需要影响了对项目材料和细节的运用。我们试图用全新的材料，将未加工的混凝土和石膏应用在墙及金属构件上-以一种诚实、外露、赤裸的形式。事实证明，这是一项挑战 - 每一步都必须计划和演练，每一道划痕、凹痕或难看的焊缝都将‘有目共睹’。我们使用的每一种金属--耐候钢、低碳钢、不锈钢和镀铝锌，都在其原始状态下保持其属性，如一个个音符构成交响乐的美妙乐章。

As we stitched the old and new together, the need for the studio to ‘evolve’ and ‘be true to its origins’ influenced the treatment to material and detail of the project. We attempted to use all new materials, concrete and plaster for walls and metals ‘raw’ - in an honest, exposed and bare format. This proved to be challenging - every step had to be planned and rehearsed, for every scratch, dent or unsightly weld would be visible for all to see. Each metal that we used- corten steel, mild steel, stainless steel and galvalume, in its raw state holds its own and contributes to the story like an orchestra.

我们依靠工业建筑的历史和工艺将“世俗的”厂棚融入到尖端设计的工作室中。我们迎接回收再利用的挑战的努力，是为了延续历史，同时不断发展现代的、舒适而富有诗意的“今天”。

The craft of industrial buildings is the history and skill we have drawn on to adapt “mundane” sheds into a cutting edge design studio. The endeavour, which we see as the challenge to adaptive reuse is to keep history alive while evolving a “today’’ that is contemporary, comfortable and poetic.
