架构师提供的文本描述。黄楼是一座环境智能、热大、结构轻巧的建筑，它表明未来的办公室可以像过去的工厂重新居住一样令人愉快地工作。一个七层高，黄色条纹的音量加冕在锯齿屋顶上，作为伦敦西十字路的一个地标。一个强大的，对角线混凝土网格包裹在建筑物周围，定义建筑-无论是外部还是内部-并提供结构刚性，而不需要支撑核心。

Text description provided by the architects. The Yellow Building is an environmentally smart, thermally massive, structurally light building that suggests the office of the future can be as delightful to work in as the factories of the past are to re-inhabit. A seven-storey, yellow-striped volume crowned in a saw-tooth roof stands as a landmark on London’s West Cross Route. A muscular, diagonal concrete grid wraps around the building to define the architecture – both outside and in – and provide structural rigidity without the need for supporting cores.

在内部，混凝土格子线全高度中庭，连接各级161，500平方英尺的建筑，作为部分艺术画廊，部分社会空间和部分活动空间。为了最大限度地加强工作人员之间的联系，大型开放式、通畅的楼层横跨中央中庭的任何一侧，既允许光线深入大楼，又能容纳主要流通楼梯，将居民带到他们所在机构的长廊上。在剥离细节的碎屑，定义了如此多的商业空间，该项目展示了更好的方式工作，娱乐和投机(包括财政和建筑)。

Internally, the concrete lattice lines the full-height atrium which links all levels of the 161,500 square foot building and acts as part art gallery, part social space and part event space. To maximise connections between staff, the large open, unobstructed floors span either side of the central atrium, which both allows light to penetrate deep into the building and holds the main circulation stair that takes inhabitants on a promenade of their organisation. In stripping away the detritus of detailing that defines so much commercial space, the project demonstrates better ways to work and play and speculate (both financially and architecturally).
