架构师提供的文本描述。霍金斯\布朗，受富豪之家的委托，已经在哈克尼的文洛克路建造了49个新房子。位于文洛克路17-21号的国标1千万立方体建筑，有着独特的木/钢混合结构，是欧洲使用结构交叉层合木的最高建筑，其10层楼高达33米。

Text description provided by the architects. Hawkins\Brown, as commissioned by Regal Homes, has completed 49 new homes on Wenlock Road in Hackney. The £10 million Cube building, located at 17 – 21 Wenlock Road, has a unique timber/steel hybrid structure and is the tallest building to use structural cross-laminated timber in Europe, with its ten stories reaching a total height of 33 metres.

该项目占地6750平方米，2015年获得了伦敦晚间标准新住宅发展奖(London Evening Standard New Homees for Developments of杰出建筑功勋)。该项目的设计采用了扭曲的十字形方案，确保每套公寓都能看到西面相邻的运河盆地，或东面的公园。十字形的布局改变了传统的朝内的庭院建筑，创造了四个四合院，面向周围的城市，创造了景观，并改善了从有三堵外墙的公寓中获得光和空气的途径。

The 6,750 sq m scheme, for which Regal Homes won the London Evening Standard New Homes Award for Developments of Outstanding Architectural Merit in 2015, has been designed with a twisted cruciform plan, ensuring each apartment has views up and down the neighbouring canal basin to the west, or across the park to the east. The cruciform layout turns the traditional inward-looking courtyard block on its head, creating four courtyards that face out towards the surrounding city, creating views and improving access to light and air from apartments that have three external walls.

1，190平方米的商业空间已经在开发项目的底层创建，面向文洛克路。阿历克斯·史密斯，霍金斯公司的助理\布朗说：

“立方体开辟了新的领域，展示了交叉层合木材作为一种材料的巨大潜力，使快速施工减少了对环境的影响。”

“The Cube breaks new ground and demonstrates the great potential of Cross Laminated Timber as a material that enables rapid construction with a reduced environmental impact.

他说：“发展计划的十字形布局，是影响住宅质素的一个重要因素。有三面外墙的住宅，能很好地接触自然光，并可适当地交叉通风，令他们在炎热天气下更舒适。”它还创造了美妙的景色，我们通过确保每套公寓都有一个像样的阳台或露台，使其最大化。“富豪之家首席执行官西蒙·德·朋友(Simon De Friend)补充道：

“The cruciform layout of the development is an important factor in the quality of the apartments – homes with three external walls have great access to natural light and can be properly cross-ventilated, making them more comfortable during hot weather. It also creates wonderful views, which we have maximised by ensuring each apartment has a decent-sized balcony or terrace.”  Simon de Friend, CEO at Regal Homes, added:

“立方体的创建是为了成为建筑可能性的先驱，它突破了住宅建筑的界限，开发了同样是艺术作品的住宅。”

“The Cube was created to be a pioneer of architectural possibilities, pushing the boundaries of residential construction and developing homes that are also works of art.

“立方体因其设计和建筑资格而获得的认可，证明了它的创新设计，也证明了我们有能力解释和实现建筑师对该计划的雄心勃勃的愿景。可以说是‘不可建造的建筑’，我们的内部建筑部门已经在这个项目中开辟了新的领域，我们将在这一遗产的基础上，在不久的将来进一步发展CLT。“

“The recognition that The Cube has received for its design and construction credentials is a testament to its innovative design, and our ability to interpret and realise the ambitious vision that the architect had for the scheme. Arguably the ‘unbuildable building’, our inhouse construction arm has broken new ground with this project and we will look to building on this legacy with further CLT developments in the imminent future.”

为了实现独特的立方体的“扭曲堆叠”布局，该立方体的地板可从建筑物的主要质量处悬挑出来，霍金斯\布朗与专门承包商BK结构合作，开发了一种围绕钢筋混凝土核心建造的CLT和钢混合结构。

To achieve the unique “twisted stack” layout of The Cube, which has floors that cantilever out from the main mass of the building, Hawkins\Brown worked with specialist contractor B+K Structures to develop a CLT and steel hybrid structure built around a reinforced concrete core. 

 Ground Floor Plan

CLT板和钢框架的元件是在场外制造的，并组装在一起，以尽量减少潮湿的交易和现场的时间。CLT面板被设置在钢框架中，使其成为结构的组成部分。这种混合结构智能地利用了这两种材料的最佳性能，创造了一种轻质、坚固和现代的结构，实现了比等效混凝土框架低得多的碳排放。

The CLT panels and elements of the steel frame were manufactured offsite and brought together for assembly, minimising wet trades and time on site. The CLT panels are set into the steel frame, bracing it to form an integral part of the structure. The hybrid structure makes intelligent use of the best properties of both materials to create a lightweight, strong and modern construction that achieves much lower embodied carbon emissions than an equivalent concrete frame.

这座建筑的高地上覆盖着片状的西部红雪松。一个开放的黑砖屏幕创造了一个正交的网格，包裹在大楼的文洛克路的海拔，创造了一个视觉和谐与邻近的建筑物适合附近的保护区。

The elevations of the building have been clad in slatted western red cedar. An open screen of black brick creates an orthogonal grid that wraps around the Wenlock Road elevation of the building, creating a visual harmony with the neighbouring buildings appropriate to the nearby conservation area.
