校园的主要功能将是为初创公司提供办公空间，并与合作伙伴SeedAMP、技术中心、跳板和中央工作合作，但这些设施还将举办日常活动，与领先的技术和创业专家一起提供定期演讲系列节目，举办网络活动，并开展一个持续的指导项目，让谷歌工作人员与当地居民分享他们的经验和专业知识。

Working with partners Seedcamp, Tech Hub, Springboard and Central Working, the primary function of Campus will be to provide office space for startup companies, but the facilities will also host daily events, offer regular speaker series with leading technology and entrepreneurship experts, hold networking events and run a constant mentoring program where Google staff will share their experience and expertise with residents.

非住宅注册用户将有机会进入咖啡厅和合作办公空间的底层。设计方面的挑战是，要在一栋7层楼高的写字楼上，在充满活力、开放的社交空间和更亲密的工作中心之间建立一种互动关系，灵活地容纳不断变化的劳动力和多样化的活动计划。

Non-residential registered users will have access to the cafe and co-working space on the lower ground floor. The design challenge was to take an unprepossessing seven-storey office building and to create an interplay between dynamic, open, social spaces and more intimate working hubs, with flexibility to accommodate a shifting workforce and a diverse program of events.

许多建筑重点一直是以编程方式打开和连接地面和底层，以充当一系列社会化空间的主人，从接待区和非正式会议区到剧院、咖啡馆和车间空间。此外，这栋建筑的整体外观和感觉是为了反映大楼未来住户的性质：年轻的初创企业即将开始自己的职业生涯，而不是老牌公司。

Much of the architectural focus has been on opening up and connecting the ground and lower ground floors programmatically to play host to a series of socialized spaces, from reception and informal meeting areas to theatre, cafe and workshop spaces. Furthermore the overall look and feel of the building was designed to reflect the nature of the future occupants of the building: young start-ups who are just about to kick off their careers rather than well established corporate companies.

通过将建筑物的核心部分剥离，暴露所有服务，揭示天花板和柱子的现有结构，并将其与实用和廉价的材料(如油毡和胶合板)相结合，创造出了与车库或车间相似的原始美学。然后，在这个技术含量较低的环境中，出现了几个自主的物体，它们在太空中散发出强大的存在：

By stripping back the building to its core, exposing all services, revealing the existing structure of ceiling slabs and columns and combining this with utilitarian and inexpensive materials such as linoleum and plywood a raw aesthetic has been created not dissimilar to a garage or workshop. This low-tech environment has then been furnished with several autonomous objects, which emanate a strong presence in the space:

在招待会上，接待客人的接待台部分是用彩色乐高积木做的-这是对谷歌创始人的赞许，他们对丹麦玩具积木一直有着特别的爱好-在一个没有品牌的环境中。由回收的蔬菜板条箱制成的一堵巨大的灵感墙占据了整个储藏区。这堵墙可以用作书籍和杂志的书架，也可以用来展示有助于讲述建筑物及其居民故事的物品和工艺品。第一次为发射该建筑而安装的展览围绕着来自通信和消费电子领域的标志性物体。

In the reception visitors are welcomed by a reception desk partly made from multi- coloured Lego bricks – a nod to Google’s founders who always had a special fondness for the Danish toy building blocks – in an otherwise unbranded environment. A large inspiration wall made from reclaimed vegetable crates dominates the holdingarea. The wall can be used as shelving for books and magazine or to display objects and artefacts that help tell the story of the building and its inhabitants. The first exhibition installed for the launch of the building revolves around iconic objects from the world of communication and consumer electronics.

在后方，保持区通往一个大的展示室，提供多达140人的座位。这两个空间可以细分为一个明亮的红色卷帘，这有助于工业审美的环境。接待处旁边的装卸区已改建，可容纳多达四十个单车站，以鼓励市民骑单车。位于大楼上部五层的工作区是开放式的。它们包括多功能集装箱单元，将循环与主办公空间分开，并提供热腾腾的办公桌、个人储物柜、回收站、视频会议/会议亭和一个微型厨房。

Towards the rear the holding area opens up to a large presentation room offering seats for up to 140 people. The two spaces can be subdivided by means of a bright red roller shutter which contributes to the industrial aesthetic of the environment. The loading bay next to reception has been converted to accommodate up to 40 bicycle stations to encourage cycling. Working areas, which occupy the upper five floors of the building, are open plan. They incorporate multi-functioning container units that separates circulation from the main office space and offer hot desking, personal lockers, recycling stations, video conferencing / meeting booths and a micro kitchen.

它的补充是一个面向微型厨房的软座位区，还有一个软垫的角落，可以从工作区域的喧嚣和喧嚣中获得喘息的机会。大面板软垫的中性灰色织物沿墙壁，改善了空间的声学和双重作为引脚表面。通往顶层平顶和底层庭院的通道已经被引入，以提供更好的建筑体验。

It is complemented by a soft seating area facing the micro kitchen, along with an upholstered nook offering respite from the hustle and bustle of the working areas. Large panels upholstered in a neutral grey fabric along the walls improve the acoustics of the space and double up as pin-up surfaces. Access to both the top floor flat roof and the lower ground floor courtyard has been introduced to offer up an enhanced experience of the building.

顶层平顶已铺上木料，将用于电影放映和社交聚会。与景观艺术家‘任性植物工程’的合作，底层的外部空间已经转变成一个木装饰的露台，以苔藓墙和蕨类植物花园，与花卉是技术上增强，以推特时，需要水！这一外部空间对大楼居民和邻近咖啡馆的游客开放。咖啡厅的设计遵循同样的逻辑，采用了建筑物其他地方使用的相同材料。

The top-floor flat roof has been timber decked and will be used for cinema screenings and social gatherings. Working with landscape artists ‘The Wayward Plant Project’ the lower ground floor exterior space has been transformed into a timber decked patio featuring moss walls and a fern garden, alongside flowers that are technologically enhanced to tweet when in need of water! This external space is open to residents of the building as well as visitors of the adjacent café. The design of the café follows the same logic and employs the same materials that have been used elsewhere in the building.

咖啡吧本身就坐落在地板中央，就像售货亭一样，把空间分成两个不同的区域：咖啡厅朝后，有定制的软垫宴席、由简单、油腻的胶合板和平面艺术家卢克·恩伯登(Luke Embden)的一幅大壁画制成的小长凳。一个大型工作台为非正式讲习班和研讨会占据了前面的空间。木屋门后面的半管房提供了一种平静而安静的氛围，可以激发新的商业想法，或者在午餐后放松一下。

The coffee bar itself sits kiosk-like in the centre of the floor and divides the space into two separate zones: the café towards the rear featuring bespoke upholstered banquet seating and small benches made from simple, oiled plywood as well as a large mural by graphic artist Luke Embden. A large workbench for informal workshops and seminars occupies the front of the space. The half-pipe room behind a wooden warehouse door offers a calm and muted atmosphere to brainstorm new business ideas or simply relax after lunch.
