架构师提供的文本描述。德梅茨福布斯骑士建筑师(DMFK)已经完成了伦敦金融城Salters‘Hall的改造和翻修。这座由巴兹尔·斯宾塞爵士设计的最后一座建筑DMFK在竞争中赢得了该项目，并于2006年被Salters崇拜者公司任命，以探索如何提高其在办公区的创收潜力，改善其糟糕的可持续性证书，并提高大楼的公众能见度，保留豪华大厅的功能。

Text description provided by the architects. De Metz Forbes Knight Architects (dMFK) have completed the transformation and renovation of the Salters’ Hall in the City of London. The brutalist Grade II listed landmark, the last building to be designed by Sir Basil Spence, has been extensively refurbished and extended, and a new entrance pavilion installed. dMFK won the project in competition and were appointed by the Worshipful Company of Salters in 2006 to explore ways to improve its income producing potential in office areas, to better it’s poor sustainability credentials, and to increase the public visibility of the building, retaining the livery hall functions.

这一转变已导致可租地板面积和服务的增加40%被完全取代，使礼仪空间更加舒适，对活动具有商业吸引力。该发展项目吸引了一位租户租用所创造的额外办公空间。新的入口亭的安装建立了一种强烈的抵达感，这是从原来的设计缺失。全高玻璃和玻璃屋顶之间的新的混凝土结构开辟了新的观点，底面的陈述悬臂式礼仪楼梯在建筑物的东侧。

The transformation has resulted in a 40% increase in lettable floor space and services being completely replaced, making ceremonial spaces more comfortable and commercially attractive for events. The development has attracted a single tenant to lease the additional office space created. The installation of a new entrance pavilion establishes a strong sense of arrival, which was missing from the original design. Full height glazing and glass roof between the new and original concrete structures open up new views of the underside of the statement cantilevered ceremonial staircase on the east side of the building.

DMFK的设计，虽然同情最初的1970年代的美学，但具有一系列创新的材料和装置，以加强建筑物的各种空间。从灌木丛锤打的白色混凝土外观和盐色的Tivoli石灰华经典地砖，到一个带有盐形灯泡的挂灯结构，通过和照亮仪式楼梯。

dMFK’s designs, whilst sympathetic to the original 1970s aesthetic, feature a range of innovative materials and installations to enhance the various spaces in the building. Sculptural references to salt feature throughout, from the bush hammered white concrete exterior and salt coloured Tivoli Travertine Classico floor tiles, to a hanging light structure with salt shaped bulbs, which drops through and illuminates the ceremonial staircase.

该建筑的能源等级已从D级提高到B级，这是BREEAM的优秀评级，几乎是现代上市建筑的独特之处，并纳入了花旗系统的地区供暖和冷却系统。景观改善，包括更新Salters花园，实现了Make‘s London Wall Place Masterplan的愿望，改善了这一地区的公共领域，并增加了公众对遗址周围历史资产的访问，包括旧伦敦城墙的碎片。

The building has achieved an improved energy rating from grade D to B, a BREEAM excellent rating, virtually unique for a modern listed building, and incorporates district heating and cooling from the Citigen system. Landscaping improvements, including the updating of Salters’ garden, realise the aspirations of Make’s London Wall Place Masterplan, improving the public realm in this area and enhancing public access to the historical assets around the site, including fragments of the old London Wall.

dMFK董事本·奈特(Ben Knight)表示：“很荣幸能与Salters‘Company合作，翻修伦敦这座荒蛮的建筑。”作为一种实践，我们喜欢打开最复杂和最有趣的建筑物和地点。在这个项目中，我们更换了一个平淡、隐蔽的入口，在一个没有吸引力和多余的车库的工地上有一个扩建的欢迎入口处。这一设计还使人们能够更多地访问和欣赏遗址周围的遗产资产，最显著的是旧伦敦城墙和圣阿尔法噬菌体遗迹的碎片。“

Ben Knight, Director of dMFK said: “It was a privilege to work with The Salters’ Company to refurbish this fantastic piece of London’s brutalist architecture. As a practice we enjoy unpicking the most complex and interesting buildings and sites. On this project we replaced the uninspiring, hidden entrance, with an extended and welcoming entrance pavilion on the site of an unattractive and redundant garage. This design also allows for greater access and appreciation of the heritage assets around the site, most notably the fragments of the old London Wall and St Alphage remains.”
