架构师提供的文本描述。kirsten reite和lance burger在2008年买下了他们的房子，这是一座建在温哥华历史悠久的日本城的百年老建筑。在购买时，这栋建筑遭受了多年的忽视和水破坏，但建筑师柯尔斯滕和承包商兰斯可以看到大楼的潜力，并具备实现这一潜力的综合技能。这个项目被证明是一项巨大的事业，柯尔斯滕和兰斯自己完成了大部分工作。

Text description provided by the architects. Kirsten Reite and Lance Burger purchased their home in 2008, a condemned 100-year-old building located in Vancouver’s historic Japantown. At the time of purchase, the building had suffered years of neglect and water damage, but Kirsten, an architect, and Lance, a contractor, could see the potential of the building and had the combined skills to realize this potential. The project proved to be a huge undertaking with Kirsten and Lance doing the majority of the work themselves.

现在的这栋建筑为Kirsten和Lance提供了他们的家、楼上的阁楼、Kirsten的建筑公司以及Lance在楼下办公室的承包公司。该建筑的最终设计包括对外墙进行全面修复，采用现代内部结构，其中包含了该建筑的许多历史特征。这对夫妇成功地将一座重要的历史建筑的保存与一种更现代、更少的美学结合起来，同时也为一个正在稳步展现复兴迹象的社区做出了积极贡献。

The building as it stands now provides Kirsten and Lance with their home, a loft upstairs, and Kirsten’s architectural firm as well as Lance’s contracting company in the office downstairs. The final design of the building includes a full restoration of the façade with a modern interior that includes many of the building’s historic features. The couple was able to successfully merge the preservation of a significant historic building with a more modern and minimal aesthetic while positively contributing to a neighborhood that is steadily showing signs of revival.

这座建筑是前加拿大日本银行(在第一次建造时)，二战后从日本所有者手中没收后，它有许多其他用途。这个社区正在迅速发展，但在2002年购买的时候，它并不是那么可取。现在，该地区是加拿大主要公司的许多总部所在地，也是当地较小的创意工作室的所在地，包括Kirsten的建筑公司KRA-Kirsten Reite Architecture，该公司的办公室与Lance的承包公司Bon Constructors位于大楼的一楼。柯尔斯顿和兰斯保存了尽可能多的老银行，包括原来的保险箱，它坐落在办公室的中心，作为一个材料库。

The building is a former Canada Bank of Japan (when first constructed), and served numerous other uses after it was confiscated from the Japanese owners after WW2. The neighborhood is quickly evolving, but at the time of purchase in 2002 it was not so desirable. Now, the area is the home to many head offices of major Canadian companies as well as smaller local creative studios including Kirsten’s architectural firm — KRA - Kirsten Reite Architecture — whose office, along with Lance’s contracting company Bon Constructors, is located on the main floor of the building. Kirsten and Lance preserved as much of the old bank as was possible, including the original safe which stands in the centre of the office as a materials library.

虽然已经做了很多工作来保护加士敦和唐人街，这两个地区都是重要的历史街区，但在修复温哥华的日本城方面却做了很少的工作。温哥华是一个年轻的城市，由于缺乏激励措施和强制性的城市升级法规，历史建筑迅速消失，使得小规模开发成本高得令人望而却步。因此，唯一正在进行的新项目是由财力雄厚的大公司开发的，从而使368鲍威尔成为一个非常独特的项目。

While much has been done to preserve Gastown and Chinatown, both of which are significant historical neighborhoods, little has been done to restore Vancouver’s Japantown. Vancouver is a young city with historic buildings rapidly disappearing due to lack of incentives and mandatory City upgrade regulations making small-scale development cost prohibitive. As such the only new projects being undertaken are being developed by big companies with deep pockets making 368 Powell a very unique project.
