架构师提供的文本描述。克鲁克·塞克斯顿(Krueck Sexton)对第一街1100号的建筑设计愿景，重新定义了华盛顿特区这座投机性写字楼的预期。这两座面积分别为35万平方米、占地1.7英亩(约合1.7万公顷)的写字楼，其造型巧妙地被操控，以强调垂直性，并激活建筑群中心的一个充满活力的庭院。这个空间为现场带来了自然光，并识别了建筑物的主要入口。

Text description provided by the architects. Krueck + Sexton’s architectural design vision for 1100 First Street re-defines the expectations of the speculative office building in Washington, D.C. Organized as two distinct 350,000 sqf blocks on a 1.7 acre site, the forms of this glass-clad building pair are subtly manipulated to emphasize verticality and activate a dynamic courtyard at the center of the complex. This space brings natural light deep into the site and identifies the building’s main entry.

在一个以石面和传统窗户闻名的城市里，1100街在其表现和技术上都是决定性的现代化。玻璃是建筑物的外部材料，以两种不同但相关的方式使用：在院子里使用干净的细节和折叠方式，使每一体积都变得轻盈，清晰地识别出主立面，并在相邻的街道上更加恭敬和模块化。由于表面和边缘的精确表达而产生的建筑语言是永恒和持久的。

In a city known more for stone facades and traditional windows, 1100 First Street is decisively modern in its expression and 21st century in its technology. Glass, the building’s exterior material, is used in two different but related ways: cleanly detailed and folded at the courtyard in a manner that lightens each volume and clearly identifies the main facade, and more deferential and modular at the adjacent streets. The architectural language that results from the precise articulation of surfaces and edges is timeless and enduring.

高性能立面，使用不同方向的玻璃仔细渗透和控制反射，提供了一个开放的。

A high-performance facade, which uses glass in varying directions for careful infiltration and controlled reflection, provides for an open & light-filled building offering daylight and views to over 75% of its occupied areas. Throughout the building’s office spaces, natural light penetrates deep into the plate from the floor to ceiling exterior glazing. All of the glazing units are insulated with a low-e coating, providing superior energy performance.

在一楼，大厅露了出来，向街道的规模敞开了这座大楼。精心设计，利用外部语言创造一个独特的身份。这对夫妇的第一个建成是通过现场战略，节约用水和能源效率获得认证的LEED黄金。

At the ground floor the lobby is revealed, opening up the building to the scale of the street. Detailed with care and sophistication, the lobby design draws upon the language of the exterior to create a distinctive identity. The first completed building of the pair is certified LEED Gold, achieved through site strategies, water savings and energy efficiency.
