UK House 是一座多功能建筑，位于伦敦西区著名的牛津街，它作为伦敦市中心的标志性建筑在周边城市环境中脱颖而出。这座建于 1906 年的二级保护建筑于 1970 年代改建为办公大楼。建筑的两个原始立面保留至今，展现出巴洛克式的俏皮组合和爱德华七世时代元素。相比之下，其他立面则呈现出现代的风格。

UK House, a mixed-use building located at a prestigious West End address on Oxford Street, stands out as a landmark in the city center. Built in 1906, the grade II listed building was adapted in the 1970s and became an office block. Two of its original facades remain, revealing a playful composition of baroque forms and Edwardian elements. By contrast, the other facades exhibit a modern style.

爱德华七世时期保留下来的立面给这座建筑带来了与众不同的气势，并在城市的物质结构中展现了英国历史上最具有全球野心的时代精神。Christ & Gantenbein 与这座建筑的过去一起重新塑造了 21 世纪的企业架构愿景：大胆、未来主义、开放、和谐。

The Edwardian scale and grandeur of the historic facades set the building apart and speak of an age of British history when the highest global ambitions were manifest in the city’s physical fabric. Christ & Gantenbein worked with this past to generate its vision of corporate architecture in the 21st century: bold, futuristic, open, communicative yet steeped in history.

A GENEROUS SEQUENCE OF SPACES

大堂的入口处设有覆盖着古铜色金属的大型窗户，与牛津街现有的零售外墙融为一体。镀铬不锈钢旋转门与内部的镜面柱互相呼应。Wolfgang tillmans 的艺术作品安装在大堂的右墙上，与建筑内外相得映彰。

The lobby’s entry features large windows clad in bronzed metal which blend in with existing retail facades on Oxford Street. Revolving doors in chromed stainless-steel establish a relationship with the mirrored columns inside. Installed on the right wall of the lobby, an artwork by Wolfgang Tillmans corresponds to the exterior and the interior alike.

接待空间包括一个前台、一个用于会议和交流的辅助空间，并与咖啡区相连。大堂的墙壁参考了英国众议院立面的巴洛克式曲线，其“后殿”般的收口自然衔接，避免了生硬的过度。
