位于第一街，家是曼彻斯特市中心最大的发展区域之一的文化中心-一座旗舰建筑，作为周边地区的催化剂。作为由Cornerhouse和图书馆剧院公司合并而成立的新组织的基地，Homee的设计是为了能够委托、制作和展示高度投入和技术复杂的艺术项目，以及举办大规模的文化活动。家庭总预算为2500万GB。它引人注目的外表就像灯塔，而欢迎的公共空间和社会领域的设计是为了吸引所有的人。家就像第二个家，一个文化家园：一个创造、聚会和社交的地方，同时享受着国际当代视觉艺术、戏剧和电影中最棒的东西。

Located at First Street, HOME forms the cultural heart of one of the largest areas of development in Manchester city centre – a flagship building that acts as a catalyst for the surrounding area. As the base for the new organisation formed by the merger of Cornerhouse and The Library Theatre Company, HOME has been designed to allow for the commissioning, production and presentation of critically engaged and technically complex artistic projects, as well as the hosting of large scale cultural events. The overall budget for HOME was £25 million. Its striking exterior acts like beacon, while the welcoming public spaces and social areas within are designed to be inviting to all. HOME is like a second home, a cultural home: a place for making, meeting and socialising, alongside enjoying the very best in international contemporary visual art, theatre and film.

将第一街区与市中心连接起来，该建筑位于铁路拱门和新公共广场之间的一个三角形场地上。它的特点，三角形形状和圆角创造了一个强大的视觉认同。装饰有不规则间距鳍的玻璃正面打开了公共区域，给建筑带来了多样化和动态的外观。根据天气的不同，它的彩虹面的颜色从黑色变成蓝色到绿色。露台位于大型悬挑下，将咖啡厅与可用于户外文化活动的公共广场连接起来。在里面，三角形的平面图形成了许多独特的房间居住在三个角落，包括画廊，餐厅，和其中的五个电影院之一，其中有一个弯曲的屏幕。

Connecting the First Street zone with the city centre, the building is located on a triangular site in between the railway arches and a new public square. Its characteristic, triangular shape and rounded corners create a strong visual identity. The glazed facade adorned with irregularly spaced fins opens up where public areas are located, giving the building a varied and dynamic appearance. Depending on the weather, the colour of its iridescent facade changes from black to blue to green. A terrace is located beneath the large overhang, connecting the café bar to the public square that can be used for outdoor cultural events. Inside, the triangular floorplan results in a number of unique rooms inhabited within the three corners, including the gallery, the restaurant, and one of the five cinemas which features a curved screen.

室内概念和布局是城市客厅的概念和布局，注入了一种温暖和亲密的感觉。坚固的混凝土地板和墙壁与温暖的橡木栏杆形成了美丽的对比。使用原材料，如木材，混凝土，钢铁和玻璃强调了家庭的身份和使命，以提供尖端的艺术和文化。

The interior concept and layout is that of an urban living room, instilling a sense of warmth and intimacy. The rugged concrete floors and walls contrast beautifully with the warm oak of the bars. The use of raw honest materials like wood, concrete, steel and glass underline HOME’s identity and mission to provide cutting edge arts and culture.

位于家庭中心的宽阔的中央楼梯充当了一个非正式的社交空间，连接了会场的不同用途：剧院、电影院和画廊。它鼓励游客使用楼梯而不是电梯作为通过建筑物的主要循环路线。每一层的酒吧和餐厅都位于中间的区域，巧妙地融入了有特色的楼梯间。一楼的餐厅是综合艺术和文化理念的重要组成部分，游客可以在工作后享用剧院前的晚餐或一杯葡萄酒。通过在多个地点提供食物和饮料，建筑物的不同部分可以很容易地独立用于活动。

The wide central stairwell at the heart of HOME acts as an informal social space, connecting the different uses of the venue: theatre, cinema and gallery. It encourages visitors to use the stairs instead of the lifts as the main circulation route through the building. The bars on each floor and the restaurant are located in the areas in between, cleverly integrated into the characteristic stairwell. The restaurant on the first floor is an essential part of the integrated art and culture concept, where visitors can enjoy a pre-theatre meal or a glass of wine after work. By offering food and drinks at a number of locations, the different parts of the building can easily be used independently for events.

Sound insulation

一楼的主剧院有五百个三层五颜六色的座位。它的设计方式，观众永远不会超过15米的舞台。相邻的门厅作为一个多功能的空间，也可以使用以外的剧院时间。较小的150个座位的灵活演播室空间位于二楼。三楼有五家顶级影院，大小不一，在编程上有很大的灵活性。一楼的四米高的柔性画廊空间是为了容纳最具雄心的当代视觉艺术设施而设计的。出色的隔音防止铁路噪音干扰手术室和电影院，并允许它们同时使用。

The main theatre on the first floor contains 500 colourful seats across three levels. It is designed in a way that spectators are never more than 15 metres from the stage. The adjacent foyer serves as a multifunctional space that can also be used outside of theatre hours. The smaller 150-seat flexible studio theatre space is located on the second floor. The third floor houses the five top-of-the-range cinemas in a range of sizes allowing great flexibility in programming. The four metre-high flexible gallery space on the ground floor is designed to accommodate the most ambitious of contemporary visual art installations. Outstanding sound insulation prevents the railway noises from disturbing the operating theatres and cinemas and allows them to be used simultaneously.
