About Rackson House مبنى مكاتب
منزل راكسون هو مبنى مكاتب أُنشئ من خلال تجديد بنية قديمة في جورج تاون، بينانغ، ماليزيا. تحتفظ الكتلة القائمة بسقفها التراثي وشرفتها المسقوفة ونوافذها البارزة ودرجها، وهي تضم المساحات الرئيسية. أُدرجت إضافة جديدة من الفولاذ والزجاج من دون ملامسة الجدران القديمة التي تظل ظاهرة بما تحمله من آثار التدخلات السابقة. أما الكتلة الجديدة فهي أكثر انفتاحًا وأشد ارتفاعًا ويغطيها سقف زجاجي، وتحتوي على المساحات الخدمية. ويلتقي حوض مائي عاكس هادئ بقاعدة الكتلة الزجاجية ليعكس صورة الموقع. ويغمر الضوء الطبيعي الفراغات الداخلية.

The floor plan maintains its original heritage and flavor with elements such as verandah, bay windows and stairs that reminds of the building's history. The annex, a gallery and multipurpose space is separated by a subtle corridor right next to the building. The old walls are kept without any demolition, leaving in sight the details and traces from past times and interventions that have manifested since.
