Distillery是一个自发的再造项目，旨在将一间闲置的酿酒厂改造为多功能的文化活动中心和办公场所。该项目是KOGAA工作室开发的第一个“社交催化器”（Social Reactor）项目。“社交催化器”旨在解决弃置建筑的问题，并为其赋予新的功能。
The Distillery – Social Reactor is a self-initiated re-adaptation project of an inactive Distillery factory into a multi-functional center for cultural events and work-spaces. The project is the first prototype of Social Reactor, KOGAA’ s slow development lab tackling the problematic of inactive structures and their adaptation into substitute functions.

Distillery最初是一座纺织工厂，有着明显的后工业背景。本次改造将这座空置建筑转变为城市中的活跃场所，对周边社区乃至城市的经济形态和生活方式起到了积极的作用。关键性的结构干预被实施在建筑的二层和三层，建筑师拆除了位于中部的房梁系统，打造出一个双层高的大厅，以及两个朝向大厅的阳台。大厅可用于展示商品、举办讲座和工作坊等，楼上的阳台则用作设计师的工作室和办公室。
Within the context of a post-industrial city with a strong past in the textile production, The Distillery is a representative example of how a vacant property can become a vibrant location, playing an active role on the urban and economic transformation of the surrounding neighbourhood and life of the city. One of the latest and most impactive structural interventions was carried out at the second and third level of the building, where the central beam system was removed to create a double height hall and two balconies facing the central space. The former is meant for presentations, lectures, and workshops, while the upper balconies are dedicated to designers’ ateliers and offices.

原先的酿酒厂由一个犹太家庭创建于19世纪初期，共包含7栋相连的建筑，而这座4层高的建筑则是其中最不起眼的存在。经过改造后，建筑变为3层，新的功能空间分布在这3个楼层内，共同塑造出一个充满活力和挑战的工作环境。所有的改造和介入其目的都是尽可能地利用既有空间的特质来迎合新使用者的使用需要。在成为协作空间之前，主厅曾经作为活动场地和艺术电影院使用，墙壁上铺设了连续的橡胶保温层和隔音层。建筑中还引入了一个双层的盒体结构，其中包括了共享会议室、小厨房、图书室以及位于二层的公共空间。该结构完全由回收材料打造而成：木制框架外层包覆着聚碳酸酯板和波纹塑料板。

Originally part of a Distillate factory founded by a Jewish family in the early years of the 19th century, the four-storey structure is the last one standing out of seven connected buildings. The new programme is distributed across all three levels of the building, and the multiple functions are spread out across different spaces, creating a dynamic and challenging working environment. Driven by the succession of programs hosted since its new occupants moved in, all restoring interventions were carried out in order to best utilize the spaces through their inherited qualities. For instance, before its latest stage as a co-working center, the main hall used to function as an event venue and later as an art cinema. The need for heat and acoustic insulation led to the installation of a continuous rubber strip along its walls. Most recently, a double floor box-like addition was introduced to accommodate a shared meeting room, a kitchenette, a library and working spaces on its upper part. Entirely built out of recycled materials from previous events, the wooden structure is surrounded by polycarbonate and corrugated plastic.

为了改善创意空间的服务质量，建筑师还将内院中的旧电梯改造为一间酒吧。其中电梯厢被改造为备餐区域，井道部分则用于安装管道和较为复杂的设备。电梯的狭小空间借此成为了全捷克最小的酒吧。
In order to improve the qualities of services within the creative spaces, a bar was introduced in the inner yard, by engaging the existing historical elevator. Its cabin was transformed into the preparation area, meanwhile its shaft is working as the installation duct, allowing the usage of more complex equipment. The limited size of the cabin certainly makes it the smallest bar in the country.

由于市中心缺乏宽敞且价格合理的空间，KOGAA工作室的建筑师们对城市空间改造和再利用的兴趣愈发浓厚，借助Social Reactor的力量，他们将找到更多合作伙伴和充满可能性的空间。
The lack of spacious yet affordable spaces in the city center leads to a growing interest from the architects of KOGAA, under the umbrella of Social Reactor, to find new partners and locate new spaces with the potential of reconversion and adaptation.
