该方案结合了一个BREEAM优秀，高效和灵活的办公室和大胆的设计。由于该建筑毗邻一级县厅，它的设计注意到了它的背景和规模，它的开窗和材料有助于使它成为一个“好邻居”。选择的颜色，为包层的窗口显示，从那些使用的彩色玻璃窗在县厅。

The scheme combines a BREEAM Excellent, highly efficient and flexible office with bold design. As the building sits adjacent to the Grade I listed County Hall, its design takes note of its context and scale, with the fenestration and materials contributing to making it a ‘good neighbour’. The colours selected for the cladding to the window reveals came from those used in the stained glass windows at County Hall.

这种设计方法使用高质量的材料，天气和老化都会很好，窗户的比例会对办公室的邻居做出反应，并且调整玻璃和固体的程度，以最大限度地利用自然光，同时避免过多的太阳能增益。宽敞的两层洞口标志着主要入口，并充当大型寻路者。

The design approach uses high quality materials that will weather and age well, the window proportions respond to the office’s neighbours and the extent of glazing and solid is adjusted to maximise natural light whilst avoiding excessive solar gain. The generous two-storey openings mark the main entrances and act as large wayfinders.

入口响应行人的需求线，工作人员和游客通过中庭进入建筑物的心脏，并从那里的公共设施和工作空间。

The entrances respond to pedestrian desire lines, staff and visitors enter the heart of the building via an atrium and from there public facilities and workspaces.

中庭在环境战略中起着关键作用。温暖的空气从办公空间中抽出进入中庭，并通过自然的“叠加效应”向上拉，并在较高的水平释放。这反过来又将新鲜空气带入办公室空间，减少了对办公空间的依赖。

The atrium plays a key part in the environmental strategy. Warm air is drawn out of office spaces into the atrium, and pulled upwards by a natural ‘stack effect’ and released at a high level. This in turn pulls fresh air into the office spaces, reducing dependence
