Nex事务所近日为其客户British Land地产公司完成了英国首个采取循环经济原则的A级办公空间翻新项目。该项目旨在通过重新利用和改造既有装潢来创造一种与过去截然不同的环境。

Nex and British Land have recently completed the first UK Grade ‘A’ office refurbishment that uses the principles of the circular economy. The project re-used and remanufactured inherited fitout to create a fully refurbished and furnished space.

项目占地4400平方米，共分为9个楼层，可为1080位员工提供工作空间，并享有摄政公园的美景。设计开创了一种全新的办公空间装修方式，基于循环经济的原则，致力于在提升空间品质的同时减少碳排放和能源影响、降低成本并提高财务价值。

The project covers 4,400m2 workspace for 1080 people arranged on 9 floors with views over Regents Park and a ground floor reception, the project pioneers a new approach to office fitout that offers fully-fitted high-quality workspace based on circular-economy principles to reduce carbon and energy impact, reduce cost and enhance financial value.

设计团队与客户就各种方案进行了探讨，最终得出能够让项目的独特性最大程度发挥出来的两个相关概念：“Circular Fitted”，即循环式翻修。

‘Fitted’旨在提供全面和完备的办公空间解决方案。业主负责完成办公楼层的全面装修，并以楼层为单位进行出租，通过更加简单和灵活的空间来适应租户不断变化的需求。进一步讲，“Circular Fitted”是指有意识地对既有的装潢进行再利用和再制造，而非在将其剥离后置入新的装修。Nex的设计方法是通过重新改造前租户留下的现成材料、设备和家具，来打造一个全新的室内空间。

As we explored options and iterations with the client, it became apparent to us that the uniqueness of the project lay within two related notions that we came to call ‘Circular Fitted’

‘Fitted’ refers to a workspace solution that provides a fully fitted out space where the landlord completes the full interior fitout of office floors, which can be let on a floor by floor basis. This offers tenants simpler and more flexible access to space to suit their changing needs. Taking this approach further, ‘Circular Fitted’ means a fitted refurbishment that consciously reuses, remakes and re-manufactures existing fit-out rather than strip out and install a new one. Nex’s design approach refashioned existing materials, fittings and furniture left behind by an outgoing tenant to create an entirely new interior space.

位于首层的10米高（100㎡）的绿色生态墙是整个项目的核心，这道墙朝向Euston路，是由大型的热带植物与弧形的竹制吸声板编织而成，有助于提高空间内的人体舒适度。墙上种植的38种植物是由NASA的一份研究白皮书中挑选出来，对于改善室内空气质量有着积极的作用。

On the ground floor, the centrepiece of the project is a new ten metre tall (100m2) living green wall facing onto Euston Road. This is made up of large tropical plants interspersed with curving bamboo acoustic panels that enhance people’s comfort within the space. All 38 plant species used in the wall were selected from a NASA research whitepaper for their positive enhancement of indoor air quality.

在上面的几个楼层中，新的办公空间大范围地重复利用了以前的材料，以大幅减少了废料和碳影响。既有的会议室经过了重新布置，并对高架地板和照明进行了维修和重新调试。使用花旗松木的旧装修被谨慎地拆除并重新利用至厨房设施和社交空间，或用于制作办公桌、细木工制品和家具等。

On the upper floors, the new workspaces extensively re-use previous materials to dramatically reduce waste and the project’s carbon impact.  Existing meeting rooms were refurbished or rearranged, while raised floors and lighting were repaired and recommissioned. We carefully dismantled large quantities of old fit-out made from douglas fir. This material was remade into new fitted kitchens and social spaces, fitted work desks, joinery and furniture. All were stained with a transparent white oil. New carpet was made from recycled PET.

不牢固的旧办工桌椅被移出场地并进行了全面翻新，桌面得到了回收和更换。休息室和会议室中，75%以上的家具都经过了翻新和再利用。

Loose work desks and task chairs were taken off-site and fully refurbished with the table tops recycled and replaced. Over 75% of the breakout and meeting room furniture was refurbished and reused.
