沃德街178号的Ampersand是一座现有混合用途建筑的大规模翻新工程，并对大楼的外墙进行了外部改造。达林联营公司还设计了两层新的顶层公寓，根据规划规定，这两层楼必须完全隐藏在街道上的公众视线之外。

Ampersand at 178 Wardour Street is an extensive refurbishment of an existing mixed-use building and the external retrofit of the building’s façade. Darling Associates also designed two new penthouse floors, which had to be completely concealed from public view at street level, in accordance with planning regulations.

从外部看，以前不那么吸引人的建筑已经被改造了。外墙已经完全升级了，包括重新定位了Wardour和Hollen街拐角处的入口。达林设计的外部铜鳍和从街道上可见的内部照明，使建筑物在阳光下和夜间发光。

Externally the previously unprepossessing building has been transformed.  The façade has been fully upgraded, including the reorientation of the entrance to the corner of Wardour and Hollen Street. Darling designed external copper fins and internal lighting visible from the street, make the building glow in the sunlight and at night.

光线充足的接待区是全玻璃的，可以从街道上看到.清晰可见的内部空间是作为对SOHO的创造性贡献而设计的，目的是吸引过路人进入公众可进入的接待区。巨大的玻璃窗框醒目的前台，这是一个艺术装置和图形设计师汤姆辛斯顿和达林合作的结果。

The light-filled reception area is fully glazed and can be viewed from the street. The clearly visible internal space is designed as a creative contribution to Soho and is intended to draw passers-by into the publicly accessible reception area. Huge glass windows frame the striking reception desk, which is an art installation and the result of a collaboration between graphic designer Tom Hingston and Darling Associates.

在建筑的中心，一个由艺术家保罗·科奇设计的中央橡树螺旋楼梯。楼梯上种着750种生机勃勃的绿色植物。楼梯有中央座位和会议区域，并定制灯光固定装置，双重作为灵感‘弹夹’。楼梯独特的螺旋形状也是建筑物图形标识的指导原则。螺旋形主题的元素在整个过程中被巧妙地使用，包括在前台/艺术品的设计中。

At the heart of the building a central oak spiral staircase designed by artist Paul Cocksedge. The stairway is planted with a variety of 750 vivid green plants. The staircase has central seating and meeting areas, and bespoke light fixtures that double up as inspiration ‘pinboards’. The stair’s distinct spiral shape was also the guiding principle for the building’s graphic identity. Elements of the spiral theme have been subtly used throughout including in the design of the reception desk/artwork.

这栋建筑的核心是温暖的、生活的橡木楼梯，与建筑其余部分的玻璃、灰色陶瓷和混凝土材料的简单调色板形成了鲜明对比。办公空间被缩小，精心设计，这鼓励了索霍的观点优先考虑。在所有办公层的中庭周围都有无缝的内部玻璃，提供360点的楼梯视图。达林律师事务所(Darling Associates)尊重办公空间的原始特征，保留了裸露的华夫式混凝土板天花板，并保留了不同的天花板高度。最大的天花板高度为3.26m。

The warm-toned, living oak stair at the building’s heart is deliberately contrasted with the simple materials palette of glass, grey ceramic and concrete in the rest of the building.  The office spaces are pared down and meticulously detailed, encouraging the views of Soho to take precedence. Seamless internal glazing around the atrium on all the office levels offers 360 views of the stair. Darling Associates has respected the office spaces’ original character by retaining the exposed waffle concrete slab ceiling and leaving the varied ceiling heights. The greatest ceiling height is 3.26m.

暴露铝成品空气处理扩散器已被纳入天花板，以增加一个光滑的现代感觉。达林搬动了大楼的核心，这导致了一个更开放的办公空间，现在平均楼板面积为1.6万平方米。英国“金融时报”。

Exposed aluminium finished air handling diffusers have been incorporated on the ceilings to add a sleek modern feel. Darling moved the core of the building which has resulted in a more open office space and the average floor plate is now 16,000 sq. ft.
