About Rackson House 사무용 건물
랙슨 하우스(Rackson House)는 말레이시아 페낭주 조지타운의 오래된 건물을 개보수하여 조성한 사무용 건물이다. 기존 동은 유산적 가치를 지닌 지붕, 베란다, 베이 윈도, 계단을 그대로 보존하며 주요 공간을 담고 있다. 강철과 유리로 구성된 새로운 증축부는 기존 벽체에 손을 대지 않고 삽입되었으며, 과거 개입의 흔적이 남은 옛 벽면은 그대로 드러난다. 신축 동은 보다 개방적이고 층고가 높으며 유리 지붕으로 덮여 있고, 서비스 공간을 수용한다. 잔잔한 반사 수(水)공간이 유리 볼륨의 하부와 맞닿아 대지를 비춘다. 자연광이 실내를 가득 채운다.

- The existing building and the new extension are made up of two interlocking programmatic blocks. The existing block is developed with a more closed character, maintains the heritage roof, and houses the main programmatic spaces; while the new block consists mostly of servicing spaces and is developed with an open character, with greater height, and with a glass roof. 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.
