这是由AukettSwanke设计的福伯里广场一座。这是一座185,000平方英尺的甲级办公楼项目，将伦敦中部的设计标准带至伯克郡的雷丁。该项目毗邻雷丁火车站，在完工之前已出租给苏格兰及南方能源公司，使其成为十多年来泰晤士河谷最大型的项目。该设计通过福伯里广场建筑群的体量和雕塑感造型，回应了周边福伯里花园的历史城市场脉。建筑超过8层，每个楼层都是开放式平面，较高楼层比较狭窄，以留出可俯瞰福伯里花园的屋顶阳台空间。

AukettSwanke has completed No 1 Forbury Place, a 185,000sqft Grade A office development that brings Central London design standards to Reading, Berkshire.Developed speculatively by owners M&G and development manager Bell Hammer on a site adjacent to Reading railway station, the entire building was let last year to Scottish and Southern Energy ahead of completion, making it the largest letting in the Thames Valley for over a decade.It will be followed by a second phase on the adjoining site. Together, they will form a landmark for both Reading’s newest business district, and for the city as a whole.

AukettSwanke‘s design responds to the historic urban context of the neighbouringForbury Gardens through the massing and sculpted form of the Forbury Place buildings. Laid out over eight storeys, the building has large flexible floorplates, which narrow to the upper levels to form a roof terrace that overlooks Forbury Gardens. The terrace is protected from nearby Forbury Road by extra-tall glass balustrades that provide uninterrupted views beyond over the Thames Valley, the Cotswolds and countryside to the south.

The design incorporates a structural diagrid that gives a distinctive and dynamic identity to the new building. The glazed east and west façades are protected from solar gain by vertical fins that twist to create a pattern that becomes increasingly solid towards the centre of the building. This gives a sense of movement for those passing by the building, with further animation provided by the varying effect of different light conditions on the bronze-coloured blades. These blades are held in place by bespoke brackets designed by AukettSwanke in collaboration with specialist fabricators. They also provide the inspiration for a dramatic feature wall of twisted blades in the double-height reception area.

Inside, generous 26,000 sqftfloorplates are well lit by both the external floor to ceiling windows and a full height central atrium. The latter is supported by a slender steel frame that echoes the external structural diagrid. Feature bronze profiles at each floor level help create a kaleidoscopic effect to views up through the atrium when combined with the reflected light from the roof.
