架构师提供的文本描述。一位开发商想在约翰逊郡设计一栋投机性的办公楼，以吸引高科技公司。与堪萨斯城郊区的米色、小窗户、曼沙德屋顶的专业建筑形成鲜明对比的是，这座占地18，000平方英尺、两层楼高的办公大楼在混凝土结构内有一个简单的长方形平面图，里面有一个全玻璃外壳，并有一个精心布置的外部穿孔金属幕墙系统，有助于全年调节热量的增长。

Text description provided by the architects. A developer wanted to design a speculative office building in Johnson County to attract high-tech companies. Standing in stark contrast to the beige, small-windowed, mansard-roofed professional buildings that are the norm in this part of suburban Kansas City, the 18,000 square-foot, two-story office building has a simple, rectangular floor plan within a concrete structure that features an all glass enclosure with a carefully positioned exterior perforated metal scrim system that helps regulate heat gain throughout the year.

在南部，面板平行于窗户，移除在战略位置(走廊，门口)，打开整个室内平面图的视野。在东面和西面，面板采用立式百叶窗的形式，它们的间距根据室内房间的遮阳需要而变化。

To the south, panels run parallel to the windows, removed at strategic locations (hallways, doorways) to open views across the entire interior floor plan. To the east and west, panels take the form of angled vertical louvers, their spacing varied according to shading needs of the rooms inside.

北方大部分是开放的。一个钢框架遮阳篷盖住了建筑物的入口，遮住了一个室外露台。

The north is mostly open. A steel frame awning covers the building entry and shades an outdoor patio.

该外观也方便了一个视觉连接，一个郁郁葱葱的外部景观包装。这有助于改善工作环境，正如研究表明的那样，办公室工作人员更加活跃，生产力更高。

The façade also facilitates a visual connection to a lush exterior landscaping package. This makes for an improved work environment and, as studies have shown, greater alacrity and higher productivity among office workers.
