在伦敦，很少有地方能有如此多的工程地标。

由新鲁德门办公建筑（Fletcher Priest Architects）设计的17层新建的伦敦布鲁内尔大楼俯瞰着大联合运河和帕丁顿站，帕丁顿站是伊桑巴德王国布鲁内尔大西部铁路的伦敦终点站，紧邻布鲁内尔的第一座桥。

高架的A40高速公路经过，伊丽莎白线，横穿伦敦的新铁路，在附近停了下来。

地下有一条有百年历史的铸铁地铁隧道。

There can be few areas in London where so many engineering landmarks rub shoulders. Derwent London’s Brunel Building, a 17-storey new-build workplace building designed by Fletcher Priest, overlooks the Grand Union Canal and Paddington Station, the London terminus to the Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway, and is next to the site of Brunel’s first-ever bridge. The elevated A40 expressway runs past and the Elizabeth Line, the new cross-London railway, stops near-by. One hundred-year-old cast-iron subway tunnels run beneath the site.

这种独特和令人回味的环境为布鲁内尔建筑的设计奠定了基调。简要要求开发一个创新的工作空间，以吸引占领者，并强调该地区的重要性和舒适。

“我们一致认为，设计要求坚固的建筑，体现伟大工程师布鲁内尔的精神，”Derwent的西蒙·西尔弗解释说。

This unique and evocative context sets the tone for the design of Brunel Building. The brief called for development with an innovative workspace that would attract occupiers, as well as highlighting the significance and amenity of the area. “We agreed that the design demanded a robust construction which would embody the spirit of the great engineer Brunel”, explains Derwent’s Simon Silver.

这一解决方案在技术上也受到了运河和穿过场地一角的两条贝克鲁线地下隧道的推动。与奥雅纳公司合作，弗莱彻·普里斯特提出的钢铁diagrid外骨骼是指布鲁内尔现在失去的西部铁路高架桥。

它不仅在视觉上引人注目，而且使建筑跨越了地铁线路。建筑在这个角落被拉回以减少荷载，而两条隧道之间的一排桩有助于分配地基荷载。

The solution was also technically driven by the presence of the canal and two Bakerloo Line underground tunnels running across one corner of the site. Working with Arup, Fletcher Priest’s proposal for a steel diagrid exoskeleton refers to Brunel’s now lost Great Western Railway viaducts. It is not only visually arresting but allows the building to span the tube lines. The building is pulled back at this corner to reduce loading, while a line of piles between the two tunnels helps to distribute foundation loads.

将上部结构推到32,912平方米的建筑外部，提供了 无柱的内部楼面空间——跨越12-16米 至分散的中心核心，从一端到另一端共66米。居住者在装修时可以有最大的灵活性，并能欣赏到畅通无阻的风景。

Pushing the superstructure to the outside of the 32,912 sqm building delivers column-free internal floor space – spanning 12-16m to the dispersed central cores and 66m from end to end. Occupiers can have maximum flexibility with their fit-outs and enjoy unimpeded views.

外部结构遮蔽了窗户，允许大面积的玻璃和日光穿透。梁在接近立面时呈锥形，允许使用更高的周边玻璃，进一步增加日光。这种光线和空间的印象进一步增强了高地板到天花板的尺寸。

弗莱彻·普里斯特(Fletcher Priest)和奥雅纳(Arup)与建筑服务工程师Cundall合作，将楼层结构和服务尽可能紧密地整合在一个区域内，比工作场所建筑的正常高度少约100毫米，以进一步提高天花板的高度。

The external structure shades windows, allowing larger areas of glazing and deep daylight penetration. Beams are tapered as they approach the facade, permitting the use of taller perimeter glazing and further increasing daylight. This impression of light and space is further enhanced by the high floor-to-ceiling dimensions. Fletcher Priest and Arup worked with building services engineer Cundall to integrate the floor structure and services into as tight a zone as possible, some 100mm less than normal for workplace buildings, to further increase ceiling heights.

这种美学意味着混凝土、钢材和锯开的橡木等材料都暴露在内部，服务管道和管道可见。

建筑的质量得到了特别的重视，这在核心等领域是一个特别的挑战，在那里，大面积的混凝土需要一致的表面处理，在施工期间必须保持保护。广泛的全尺寸实体模型和集成的数字建模成为关键的设计工具。

This aesthetic means that materials such as concrete, steel, and sawn oak have been left exposed internally, and service ducts and pipes are visible. Extra emphasis has been put on the quality of construction - a particular challenge in areas such as the core, where huge areas of concrete required a consistent finish and had to remain protected during construction. Extensive full-scale physical mock-ups and integrated digital modelling became key design tools.

环境和社会可持续性是设计团队和客户的核心目标。复杂的外部斜对角结构为立面提供了20%的遮阳，有助于减少能源需求。含水层热能储藏库(ATES)有两个40层深的钻孔，提供低碳的加热和冷却。

淋浴的废水被回收用于冲洗大楼的浴室。暴露在结构预制混凝土地板下的面板，由最先进的机器人工厂制造，有助于提供舒适的室内热梯度和更多的人均体积。将天花板暴露在外还可以节省540吨的隐性碳。90%以上的建筑垃圾被回收利用，而矿渣(钢铁生产的废料)被用于混凝土。

Environment and social sustainability were central to the ambitions of both the design team and the client. The complex external diagrid structure provides 20% shading to the facades, helping to reduce energy demand. An Aquifer Thermal Energy Store (ATES), with two forty-storey deep boreholes, provides low- carbon heating and cooling. Greywater from showers is recycled to flush the building’s bathrooms. Exposed undersides of the structural precast concrete floor panels, made in a state-of-the-art robotic plant, help to deliver comfortable interior thermal gradients and more volume per person. Leaving the ceilings exposed also saved more than 540 tonnes of embodied carbon. More than 90% of construction waste was recycled and ground blast-furnace slag (a waste product from iron and steel production) was used in the concrete.

基地上现有的建筑跨越了运河的这一部分，阻断了运河的入口和景观。

这条运河边的人行道200多年来首次对公众开放，最终将为附近的小威尼斯提供新的步行路线，以及一个新的公共空间和艺术品。

布鲁内尔大楼是伦敦为数不多的主要入口在运河上的运河侧开发项目之一。

The existing building on the site spanned this section of the canal blocking access and views along the canal. The canal-side walk is now publicly accessible for the first time in more than 200 years and will eventually provide new pedestrian routes to nearby Little Venice, as well as a new public space and artwork. Brunel Building is one of the surprisingly few canal-side developments in London with its main entrance on a canal.

机库大小的机动玻璃滑动门可以卷回去，为新绿树成荫的纤道走道提供延伸。路人可以品尝?香香地餐厅咖啡馆和酒吧和视图中的公共艺术triple-height接待大厅。

与此同时，居住者可以进入两个可欣赏伦敦全景的宽敞屋顶露台。软性的景观美化，带有野花、树木的花盆和筑巢箱，都有助于在这个曾经是轻工业地区重建当地的生态。

Motorized hangar-sized glazed sliding doors can be rolled back to provide an extension to the new tree-lined towpath walkway. Passers-by can visit the canal-side restaurant cafe? and bar and view the public art in the triple-height reception concourse. Meanwhile, occupiers have access to two expansive roof terraces with views across London. Soft landscaping, planters with wildflowers, trees, and nesting boxes all contribute toward re-establishing the local ecology in what was previously a light-industrial area.

如此丰富和复杂的建筑，花了三年时间建造，只能通过利用最新的数字工具，开发和协调设计，管理物流制造和施工。

“我们可以通过模拟演练和虚拟现实耳机来可视化设计，使建筑师、设计师和供应商检查冲突，比如管道穿过横梁，这样我们就可以做出和评估整体的变化，”Fletcher Priest助理Chris Radley说。

Such a rich and complex building, which took three years to construct, could only be delivered by harnessing the latest digital tools, developing and coordinating the design, and managing the logistics for fabrication and construction. “We could visualise the design via simulated walkthroughs and virtual reality headsets, enabling the architects, designers, and suppliers to check for clashes, such as pipework running through beams, so we could make and assess changes holistically,” says Fletcher Priest associate Chris Radley.

所有的工作空间在完工前很久就被超额预定，布鲁内尔是一个来自许多领域的具有显著多样性的生态的新家;Sony Pictures, the Premier League, Alpha FX, Splunk, Hellman & Friedman, Coach和Paymentsense。
