Danish studio 3XN has released its proposal for the 2 Finsbury Avenue office complex in central London, UK, which includes a 35-storey skyscraper.
The 2 Finsbury Avenue scheme, which is 3XN’s first project in the UK capital, has been developed with British Land for a pedestrianised area in Broadgate.
If approved, it will replace two buildings built by British architect Peter Foggo in the 1980s and override engineering and architecture firm Arup’s plan for a 32-storey office on the site, which was authorised in 2016 but never realised.
丹麥3XN工作室已經發布了其在英國倫敦市中心2 Finsbury Avenue辦公大樓的提案，其中包括一座35層的摩天大樓。
2X Finsbury Avenue計劃是3XN在英國首都的第一個項目，已與British Land合作開發了Broadgate的行人專用區。
如果獲得批准，它將取代1980年代英國建築師Peter Foggo建造的兩座建築物，並超越工程和建築公司Arup計劃在現場建造32層辦公室的計劃，該計劃於2016年獲得批准，但從未實現。
“We are extremely happy and grateful to have been chosen to design 2 Finsbury Avenue at Broadgate in London,” said 3XN’s co-founder Kim Herforth Nielsen.
“Together with British Land, a project was developed demonstrating that architectural as well as development ambitions can come together in a forward-thinking office building.”
As revealed in the visuals, 3XN’s proposal is divided into a 35-storey East Tower and a 20-storey West Tower, both of which will contain office spaces.
The towers are linked by a 12-storey podium that will contain green spaces and communal areas, designed by 3XN to reflect the qualities of the Broadgate area.
“The Broadgate campus offers a fantastic range of amenities, outstanding public spaces as well as workspaces, retail and restaurants and we wanted to introduce these qualities to the building,” said Audun Opdal, senior partner at 3XN.
“Therefore, the building is perceived as a series of interconnected volumes, where the connecting points are the social spaces, amenities and green spaces,” Opdal told Dezeen.
The 2 Finsbury Avenue buildings will have matching facades, characterised by triangular patterns that are made from a combination solid and glazed sawtooth-shaped facade modules.
This is intended to animate and visually unify the towers, but will also help them to self-shade to prevent overheating and reliance on air conditioning.
3XN的聯合創始人Kim Herforth Nielsen說：“我們被選為倫敦Broadgate的Finsbury Avenue 2號設計感到非常高興和感激。
“與英國土地一起，開發了一個項目，表明在具有前瞻性的辦公大樓中，建築和發展雄心都可以融合在一起。”
如視覺效果所示，3XN的提案分為35層的東塔和20層的西塔，兩者都將包含辦公空間。
這些塔由12層高的裙樓相連，裙樓將包含綠色空間和公共區域，由3XN設計，以反映Broadgate區域的質量。
3XN高級合夥人Audun Opdal說：“ Broadgate校園提供了各種便利設施，出色的公共空間以及工作空間，零售和餐廳，我們希望將這些品質引入建築物中。”
Opdal告訴Dezeen：“因此，該建築被視為一系列相互聯繫的體積，其中的連接點是社交空間，便利設施和綠色空間。”
Finsbury Avenue的2座建築物將具有相匹配的立面，其特點是由實心和玻璃鋸齒形立面模塊組合而成的三角形圖案。
這旨在為塔建立動畫並在視覺上統一這些塔，但也將幫助它們自遮蔽以防止過熱和依賴空調。
The interiors for the office will be developed in collaboration with behavioural scientists from 3XN’s innovation arm, GXN, to ensure a comfortable working environment.
They will include flexible workspaces that cater for individual and collaborative work as well as spaces for socialising.
“We have worked closely with British Land to conceive an elegant and accessible building that puts people first”, said Opdal.
“The design combines individual workplaces with a variety of internal and external amenity spaces that foster well-being and social interaction and inspires people to engage with each other and work creatively.”
According to 3XN and British Land, 2 Finsbury Avenue’s design is being developed with the goal of being net-zero carbon in both its construction and operation.
The duo states this will be achieved with “a series of forward-thinking environmental initiatives” such as the use of low carbon materials, passive design strategies and possibly the re-use of elements from existing buildings on site.
“Reductions in embodied carbon are sought through structural optimisation of the towers, circular economy strategies, and low carbon materials,” 3XN explained.
“Passive design strategies are further employed to minimise heating and cooling demand while maximising the value of select low-carbon and on-site renewable technologies.”
3XN is a Copenhagen-based studio that was founded in 1986 by Nielsen alongside Lars Frank Nielsen and Hans Peter Svendler Nielsen. The studio is currently also developing a pair of towers in Mumbai that are modelled on mangrove stalks and a 200-metre-tall building overlooking the Sydney Opera House.
Elsewhere, 3XN has recently completed a cube-shaped office block in central Berlin and the new headquarters for the Olympics on the shore of Lake Geneva.
辦公室的內飾將與3XN創新部門GXN的行為科學家合作開發，以確保舒適的工作環境。
它們將包括靈活的工作空間，以滿足個人和協作工作以及社交空間。
Opdal說：“我們已經與British Land緊密合作，設計出了一座以人為本的優雅且易於使用的建築。”
“該設計將個人工作場所與各種內部和外部便利設施空間結合在一起，從而促進人們的福祉和社交互動，並激發人們彼此互動並富有創造力的工作。”
根據3XN和British Land的說法，正在開發2 Finsbury Avenue的設計，其目標是在施工和運營中實現零碳排放。
兩人表示，這將通過“一系列具有前瞻性的環保舉措”來實現，例如使用低碳材料，被動設計策略以及可能重複使用現場現有建築物中的元素。
3XN解釋說：“通過塔的結構優化，循環經濟策略和低碳材料，尋求減少含碳量。”
“進一步採用無源設計策略來最大限度地減少供暖和製冷需求，同時使精選的低碳和現場可再生技術的價值最大化。”
3XN是一家位於哥本哈根的工作室，由尼爾森（Nielsen）和拉斯·弗蘭克·尼爾森（Lars Frank Nielsen）和漢斯·彼得·斯文德勒·尼爾森（Hans Peter Svendler Nielsen）於1986年共同創立。該工作室目前還在孟買開發一對以紅樹林莖為原型的塔樓和一座俯瞰悉尼歌劇院的200米高的建築。
在其他地方，3XN最近在柏林市中心完成了一個立方體形的辦公大樓，並在日內瓦湖岸完成了奧運會的新總部。
