架构师提供的文本描述。在过去的二十年中，中庭一直位于中心塔的底部，这是一座标志性的建筑，曾经拥有伦敦最高建筑的称号。最近，中庭从现代家具供应转向销售最好的照明产品-这一举动需要解释和庆祝。

Text description provided by the architects. For the last twenty years, Atrium has been located in the base of the Centrepoint tower, the iconic building that once held the title of the tallest building in London. Recently Atrium has made a professional move away from modern furniture supply to selling the finest lighting products – a move that needed both explanation and celebration.

这导致了一个设计简报，需要一个互动的开放空间，有一个中央接待区，可以很容易地转换成一个黑暗的陈列室。工作室RHE对简报的反应，设计了一个精心设计的交织空间，使用了一系列旋转，联锁，铰链，锯切墙板，将明亮的白天照明的空间转变为一个黑暗的展厅，带有简单的扭曲。

This then led to a design Brief that required an interactive open space, with a central reception area that could very easily be converted into a darkened showroom. Studio RHE reacted to the Brief by designing a carefully choreographed intertwined space which utilizes a series of rotating, interlocking, hinged, jig‐sawed wall panels that transform the bright day‐lit space to a darkened showroom with a simple twist.

这些旋转的墙壁，使自然光可以玩一整天，以及增加一个不断变化的正面的街道景观的圣贾尔斯马戏团。这一戏剧性的转变将让中庭展示他们的“软建筑”照明的范围，由Flos。工作室RHE强调了这一点，安排了丰富的混合触觉材料，从高光泽树脂到回收Yara木材枕木。这已经做了，同时保持一个简单的调色板，主要是干净的白色，强调明亮的酸性绿色，用于整个边缘作为一个发光的亮点。

These rotating walls allow natural light to be played with throughout the day as well as adding an ever changing frontage to the streetscape of St. Giles Circus. This theatrical transformation will let Atrium demonstrate their range of ‘Soft Architecture’ lighting by FLOS. Studio RHE has emphasized this by arranging a rich mix of tactile materials from high gloss resin to reclaimed Yara timber sleepers. This has been done whilst keeping to a simple palette of predominantly a clean white, accentuated by a bright acid green used throughout the edges as a luminous highlight.

最后，一个黑暗的内部密室会议空间已经创造了颜色变化，照明控制轮和整体抹灰配件在墙壁内。这些都完成了陈列室的经验，然后返回到美丽的中央动力棒在中心的空间。

Finally a darkened inner sanctum meeting space has been created with colour change lighting control wheels and integrally plastered fittings within the walls. These complete the showroom experience before returning to the beautifully fitted central kinetic bar at the heart of the space.

整个设计方向将贯穿整个办公空间，办公桌沿对角线展示墙布置，屏幕和网络冲浪亭可以俯瞰双高展厅和广场。工程于2011年1月开始，2011年6月完工，7月中旬举行开幕派对。

The design direction is continued through the entire space to the Offices above where desks are arranged along a diagonal show wall with integrated screens and net surfing booths that look out over the double height showroom and plaza. The works started in January 2011 with Completion in June 2011 and an opening party in mid‐ July.
