25 years ago, a Spanish architect, namely Ricardo Bofill, came across a deteriorating old cement factory. The site was home to rotting silos, vast and varied spaces, and unused building equipment. Where most people would see ruin, Ricardo saw potential.
25年前，一位西班牙建筑师里卡多·波菲无意中发现了一个日渐衰颓的老水泥厂。这个场地原是贮藏朽坏之物的，面积很大，内置隔间风格迥异，里面还放置一些闲置的建筑设备。绝大多数人认为它是废墟，而里卡多却看到了希望。
Fast forward a quarter of a century, and the results of his ongoing renovation project are beyond remarkable. The complex is now home to its Gothic-influenced architect Ricardo Bofill, acting as his main residence, as well as numerous vast offices, archives, design labs and various outside patios, decks, gardens and paths. All part of an ever-evolving master plan.
经过25年的努力，他的在建改造项目已有了显著成效。该建筑群现已成为哥特式建筑大师里卡多·波菲的住所，作为他的主要居所，里面设有许多大型办公场所、档案室和设计实验室，室外还有各式各样的露台、凉台以及花园小径。
Ivy, cypress, eucalyptus, palm and olive trees have been slowly added and grown throughout the remodel, giving the exterior grounds new life, as well as the interior areas.
后来又渐渐植上了常春藤、桉树类植物、棕榈树和橄榄树，这些植物已经长满了整个改建花园，给室外场地与室内空间注入了活力。
The décor is simple and aims to not detract too much from the majesty and ethos of the rooms themselves.
这个简约的装饰旨在不削弱房屋本身的高贵气质与威严。
