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.
