该设计有意将对建筑物现有结构和周围遗产环境的物理和视觉影响降到最低。其中一个关键的设计理念是庆祝美丽的一级皇家剧院正对面的网站，通过创造一个深青铜衬里，框架的看法，当你从空间出现。

The design intentionally minimises physical and visual impact on the existing fabric of the building and surrounding heritage context. One of the key design concepts was to celebrate the beautiful Grade I listed Theatre Royal directly opposite the site, by creating a deep bronze lining which frames the view as you emerge from the space.

现有的二级上市建筑及其古典立面的意义，为新的正面和接待空间的设计提供了参考。该设计考虑了自然保护区的古典比例、对称性和秩序，特别是建筑灰土石材中形成的微妙浮雕。

The significance of the existing Grade II listed building and its classical facade informed the design of the new frontage and reception space to Earl Grey House. The design considers the classical proportions, symmetry and order of the Conservation Area and in particular the subtle relief formed in the buildings’ ashlar stonework.

设计的原理是在青铜色的阳极化铝中创建一个简单的框架，该框架包裹入口的通道，形成清晰且清晰的入口，三个纵向比例的面板完成了新的FAASade。

The principle of the design was to create a simple frame in bronzed anodized aluminium which wraps the entrance way, creating a clear and legible entrance, with three portrait-proportioned panels completing the new façade.

这复杂而优雅的入口方式作为一个包装和保护‘外壳’，提供了一个更加轻巧和珍贵的内部清晰的门槛。青铜阳极铝材料的正面提供了丰富的，当代的和高质量的审美适合它在灰街的位置，一个轻，反射质量增加了一个漫射和微妙的光泽，以补充周围的砂岩正面。

This sophisticated and elegant entrance way acts as a wrap and protective ‘shell’, providing a clear threshold to a more lightweight and precious interior. The bronze anodised aluminium material used for the facade offers a rich, contemporary and high quality aesthetic befitting its location on Grey Street with a light, reflective quality adding a diffuse and subtle lustre to complement the surrounding sandstone facades.

这宝贵的完成继续进入内部，吸引游客进入和创造一个平衡的内外。室内光线洒在街道上，而单一的玻璃入口在街道和接待处之间创造了良好的可见度。我们需要付出很大的努力来创造一个空间，这个空间看起来是如此之小，不仅规划和保护方面的限制非常繁重，而且由于现有建筑的许多复杂情况，一旦剥落完成，设计就需要进化。

This precious finish continues into the interior, drawing the visitor in and creating a balance between inside and out. The interior spills light onto the street, and the single glass entrance creates good visibility between street and reception. Much effort was needed to create a space which seems so minimal, not only were the planning and conservation constraints onerous, but the design needed to evolve once the strip out was complete due to many complications with the existing building.

佩夫斯纳将灰街称为“英格兰最优秀的街道之一”，该方案对设计灰色街的责任非常敏感，并找到了一种尊重的方式来增加历史的层次性。纽卡斯尔的规划和保护团队非常支持该计划，该项目在开发纽卡斯尔丰富的文化和历史景观方面发挥了重要作用。

The Scheme is sensitive to the responsibility of designing a scheme on Grey Street, which Pevsner describes as ‘one of the finest streets in England’, and finds a respectful way to add to the layers of history. Newcastle’s planning and conservation teams were very supportive of the scheme, and the project has played a significant role in developing the rich cultural and historic landscape of Newcastle.
