Brunel 大厦 | Fletcher Priest Architects

Spectacular workplace accommodation in a visually impressive building opposite Brunel’s Paddington railway station.

位于Brunel 帕丁顿火车站对面的一座视觉上令人印象深刻的建筑中，提供壮观的工作场所。

The site was particularly challenging, with very tight geometry and the added complication of two tunnels of the Bakerloo tube line running below. Overcoming the challenges of building next to a canal and over a functioning underground railway line required a different way of thinking about the form of the building.

该场地特别具有挑战性，其几何形状非常紧凑，并且在下方运行的 Bakerloo 管线的两条隧道增加了复杂性。克服在运河旁和正在运行的地下铁路线上建造的挑战需要以不同的方式思考建筑的形式。

Working with structural engineers from Arup, the innovative diagrid exoskeleton mitigates those challenges while providing column-free floorplates and 20% shading to the façade, helping to reduce energy demand. It also offers improved access to light and minimal visual intrusion to the views around Paddington Basin.

与 Arup 的结构工程师合作，创新的斜肋外置结构减轻了这些挑战，同时提供了无柱地面空间和 20% 的外墙遮阳，有助于减少能源需求。它还提供了更好的光线反射和对帕丁顿地区周围景观的最小视觉干扰。

Through its design quality and reflection of the character of the surrounding area, Fletcher Priest’s mixed use proposal secured planning approval for a 400% increase in office accommodation, with ground floor retail and restaurants, as well as approval for 100 apartments on a neighbouring site.

通过其设计质量和对周边地区特征的反映，Fletcher Priest 的混合用途提案获得了将办公用房、底层零售店和餐厅功能增加 400% 的规划批准，并获得了在邻近地点建造 100 套公寓的批准。

A Place for History   历史之地

Standing opposite Paddington station, the Brunel Building is also directly adjacent Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s first bridge – Bishop’s Bridge – spanning the Grand Union Canal. The building’s design references Brunel’s Great Western Railway, as well as the engineering heritage of the area.

Brunel 大厦位于帕丁顿车站对面，也直接毗邻Isambard 王国Brunel 的第一座桥梁 - 主教桥 - 横跨大联盟运河。该建筑的设计参考了Brunel 的大西部铁路以及该地区的工程遗产。

The reception spaces and restaurant open onto the new south-facing public towpath with giant motorised doors. At the top of the building, the diagrid structure rises above roof level to create glazed, wind-sheltered terraces on the 16th and 14th floor levels.

接待区和餐厅通向带有巨大电动门的全新朝南公共通道。在建筑物的顶部，斜肋结构高于屋顶平面，在第 16 层和第 14 层创建了玻璃挡风露台。

Improving the public realm around the building was central to the project’s objectives. For the first time since the Paddington Basin was opened more than 200 years ago, the public have access to a new, tree-lined canal towpath that links the Basin with Little Venice. Restaurants and bars animate the south-facing terrace and large, motorised door mechanisms open to expose the building’s reception to the canalside in agreeable weather. Generous roof terraces improve the amenity for the building’s occupants.

改善建筑物周围的公共领域是该项目目标的核心。自帕丁顿盆地 200 多年前开放以来，公众第一次可以使用一条新的、绿树成荫的运河通道，将此地与小威尼斯连接起来。餐厅和酒吧为朝南的露台增添了活力，在宜人的天气下，大型电动门打开，将建筑物的接待处暴露在运河边。宽敞的屋顶露台提高了建筑物使用者的舒适度。
