Orms在伦敦翻新艺术装饰办公室，为时尚品牌COS创造新的总部
Orms renovates art-deco office in London to create new headquarters for COS
该项目是时尚品牌COS的总部办公楼，来自伦敦工作室Orms的建筑师为这座建筑设计了反光的绿色瓷砖外立面，以此来表达原建筑的设计理念。
Orms在伦敦市中心High Holborn和New Oxford街道交叉口将这座九层高的三角形建筑进行了翻新工作。
该建筑原先为建筑师Henry Philip Cart de Lafontaine设计，为了实现原有设计理念，Orms重新设计了预制的混凝土镶板的外立面，使用六角形绿色釉面瓷砖包裹的圆型窗户。
This new headquarters for fashion brand COS features a facade of iridescent green tiles, added by London studio Orms to realise the intention of the original architect.
Orms renovated a nine-storey triangular shaped building in central London, at the junction of New Oxford Street and High Holborn, to be COS's new European headquarters.
To realise the vision of the building's original architect, Henry Philip Cart de Lafontaine, Orms replaced the precast concrete facade panelling and the oriel windows with hexagonal green glazed tiles.
建筑师发现，该项目的主要顾问贾莱斯•吉尔伯特•斯科特（Giles Gilbert Scott）并不喜欢运用瓷砖，他的建议对方案的最终形态产生了很大的影响。
“我们在杂志上找到一篇文章，文章的作者说道，对于该项目，建筑师原来更偏向于运用绿色瓷砖。”Orms的创始人John McRae告诉Dezeen记者。
“然后，我们找到了建筑师和贾莱斯•吉尔伯特•斯科特（Giles Gilbert Scott）之间的沟通信件，我们发现斯科特更倾向于使用波特兰石材，并在建筑物的顶部和中心运用预制混凝土镶板。”
The architects discovered that, at the time of construction, these tiles were not favoured by Giles Gilbert Scott, who was advisor to the crown and had influence over the final design.
"We found an article in a magazine which outlined the architect's original intent to provide green glazed tiles," John McRae, co-founder of Orms told Dezeen.
"We then found letters between the architect and Giles Gilbert Scott, which outline alternative finishes and Scott's preference to have a Portland stone base, and precast concrete panelling on the prow and cores of the building."
近年来，伦敦众多建筑物都使用了釉面砖。EPR将1000块由手工上釉的瓷砖用于Saville Row办公室的外墙施工，而Assemble 将手工瓷砖用于伦敦地铁站。
McRae认为，建筑师Lafontaine会批准这一新兴材料的使用。“我相信Lafontaine会大胆地选择绿色琉璃瓷砖，这样能够与当地环境相匹配。”他说。
由于该建筑位于主要街道交叉口，绿色瓷砖外立面让建筑成为区域的一大标志，这个地区还包含了许多主要旅游景点。
Glazed tiles have appeared on several buildings in London in recent years. EPR used 1,000 hand glazed ceramic tiles to clad the exterior of an office in Saville Row, while Assemble covered a London Underground station with handmade tiles.
McRae believes that Lafontaine would approve of this latest addition. "I believe Lafontaine would raise a smile at our audacity to reintroduce the green glazed tiles to create an appropriate gateway to the West End," he said.
As the building sits at a major junction, the tiles also enhance the office's role as the landmark at the beginning of the West End – an area of the city containing many major tourist attractions.
“我们觉得建筑必须对城市造成一定的正面影响，因为它位于High Holborn和New Oxford街道的交界处。”McRae解释道。
“因此，使用绿色琉璃瓷砖代替预先浇筑的混凝土，这种砖不仅可以为立面带来丰富的色彩，还可以反射周围的建筑物和天空。瓷砖会根据太阳的角度和天空的色彩而改变颜色，这使得建筑更具活力，并为人们带来更多惊喜。”
"We felt that the prow of the building had to offer more to the city, as it is on the junction of High Holborn and New Oxford Street," explains McRae.
"One way of achieving this was to replace the pre-cast concrete with green glazed tiles that would offer colour, but also reflections of the surrounding buildings and sky. The tiles appear to change colour depending on the daylight, sunlight and sky, which makes it more dynamic and provides an element of surprise."
室内的翻新工程的设计灵感来源于传统的装饰艺术风格，其整个目标是让室内空间有着充足的自然通风与采光。
内部庭院已改造成一个通高的玻璃中庭，在其底部是一个接待区。
Internally, the renovation has taken many references form the original art-deco building. It aims to meet the architects original intentions of creating ideal surroundings with an abundance of daylight and air.
The internal courtyard has been turned into a full-height glazed atrium, with a double-height reception area at its base.
“我们的目标是创建更开放、更灵活的工作空间，将庭院融入建筑，意味着在建筑的任何角落人们都有景观视角。”McRae继续说道。
在建筑物的临街立面上，建筑师在波特兰石墩之间的弧形玻璃窗后面设置了一些零售商店。
"Our aim was to create more open, flexible workspaces, where the courtyard becomes an atrium and means you can view the entire floor from any corner of the building," continues McRae.
On the building's street facades, retail units are placed behind curved glazing between the original Portland Stone piers.
COS已经入驻该建筑。该品牌是2017年Dezeen热榜上排名最高的时尚品牌，现在正与其内部设计团队合作，使室内设计更加个性化。
