The Sea Containers House, designed by Warren Platner in 1974, has just undergone an interior makeover courtesy of Matheson Whiteley in collaboration with workplace design specialist BDG A-D

海运集装箱屋最初设计于1974年，当时是一家海滨酒店，目的是促进旅游业，但在2007年之前，它一直是海运公司海洋集装箱公司的办公场所。现在，Blackfriars银行的图标有了一个新的租赁生活后，由Matheson Whiteley和BDG A-D的时尚重新设计。

这两位建筑实践专家和工作场所设计专家因雄心勃勃的设计赢得了该委员会的桂冠，他们的目标是将这2万平方米的空间改造成一个充满活力的工作场所，这是英国两家最著名的营销机构-奥美集团和MEC。(这将是两家公司各自历史上第一次将整个伦敦团队置于同一屋檐下。)

MathesonWhiteley和BDGA-D的目标是将“海洋集装箱带入伦敦的文化、创意和商业生活”。通过“将上层空间奉献给最公共的项目组件，包括一个200人的圆形剧场和新的屋顶花园，使这座建筑成为泰晤士河沿岸一个活泼的特色”，这是一项平凡的壮举。

在传统的现代转折中，建筑师们选择将大楼的工作空间放在建筑的下部，为酒店设施预留较高的楼层，包括小酒馆咖啡厅/酒吧、私人餐厅以及上述圆形剧场和屋顶花园。

这些办公室的内部布局是围绕建筑物原有的结构元素设计的，利用它们的优势，同时实现了通过移动、选择和提供多个工作空间来加强沟通的简要要求。毕竟，当你在移动的时候，生活不是更好吗？

The building was originally designed as a waterfront hotel, but instead housed offices for the Sea Container Company until 2007

The commission was won through an invited competition. Matheson Whiteley and BDG A-D secured the job with a proposal, which aimed to reestablish the building as a 'lively character along the river Thames'

The building's inner aesthetic has a raw, exposed feel, using polished and raw concrete throughout, with flashes of colour provided by the office's vibrant panels that wrap around the interior's perimeter

The office's lower floors are dedicated to workspace. The upper levels house hospitality and leisure facilities

The offices are set to become the home of OgilvyGroup and MEC, two of the UK’s most prominent marketing agencies. The building will also house a 200-seat amphitheatre and a rooftop garden, which will boast wide views over the river Thames

The interior program was designed around a series of preexisting structural interventions. The architects played with these elements also using them as alternative work environments
