来自事务所的描述。Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt在伦敦北部的布伦特完成了第一个主要项目，一个典型的大型混合开发区。2011年这个项目在激烈的竞争中脱颖而出赢得了佣金。一开始接近于在场地上建造现有的被认可的方案，在说服客户从第一原理出发，建立一个完全不同的方案，从而最大限度地提高场地的价值后，这种做法确保了项目实施。

From the architect. Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt has completed its first major project in the form of an exemplary large-scale mixed- use development in Brent, North London. The practice won the commission in 2011 against stiff competition. Having initially been approached to build out an existing consent on the site, the practice secured the project after convincing the client to start from first principles and to build an entirely different scheme thereby maximising site value.

Site Plan/场地平面图

新的开发区由四大区块组成，包括144个住宅单元，1800平方米的B1办公场所和五个生活/工作单元，以及地下停车位。该方案提供了急需的住房面积，提供了一个高于平均水平的2室、3室和4室的套型，3室的复式房屋，以及4室住宅这样的组合。

The new development is made up of four blocks comprising 144 residential units, 1,800m2 of B1 office accommodation and five live/work units, as well as underground car parking spaces. The scheme delivers much-needed housing to the area, providing a mix of larger than average 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units, 3- bedroom duplexes, and 4-bedroom houses.

建筑和材料的品质使其具有承接性和现代感，也反映出该地区的工业城市的历史。浅黄色的砖是A–C栋的主要组成部分。D栋在外观上是不同的，有别于其他材料而覆以木质镶板（Parklex），反映其相对其他建筑物的朝向和它的用途，含有B1使用类的显著区域。这些材料给建筑带来了一种永恒的品质。

The architectural and material quality creates buildings that are contextual and contemporary, reflecting the industrial urban history of the area. Buff brick is the primary component for buildings A – C. Building D is different in appearance and reverses the materiality of the others by being clad in wooden veneered panels (Parklex), reflecting both its orientation to the other buildings and its use, containing a significant area of B1 use class. These materials bring a timeless quality to the buildings.

立面处理是设计过程中一个关键的考虑因素。这三幢砖房都融入设计了一个独特的组成部分，通往前门大街，各自享有着自己的身份。

The elevational treatment has been a key consideration throughout the design process. The three brick buildings have been designed with a unique composition to the front street, each enjoying its own identity.

主立面设计经过一番深思熟虑后决定由凹形阳台并设多孔砖屏风来组成。为了避免立面上的堆叠重复，公寓的设计在方案上进行了一个翻转。“jali”多孔砖屏风将视觉趣味赋予到外观上，同时为居民提供隐私空间。

The main facades comprise a carefully considered rhythm of recessed balconies and feature perforated brick screens. To avoid stacked repetition in the elevation, the apartments have been designed so that they are able to flip in plan. The ‘jali’ perforated brick screens add visual interest to the façade while providing privacy for the residents.

较大的背面区块上组成了阳台凹凸有致的联合演绎。不同宽度和进深的阳台，为前面相对平静的街区营造出一个动态的外观来作为一个完美的背景。

双层通高的生活/工作单位定位在了项目方案的前面，由艺术家们组成的AcAVA慈善机构（视觉艺术文化促进协会）一起合作设计，将动画添加到街头。

Double-height live/work units positioned to the front of the scheme, designed in collaboration with the artists’ charity ACAVA (the Association for Cultural Advancement through Visuals Art), add animation to street level.

4 bed house/4室住宅

充足的休憩空间由场地北部的一个专门的“游戏空间”所提供。庭院空间的设计是为了鼓励居民之间的社会互动，并且能更加贴切地融入整个设计。所有公寓均超过伦敦的住宅设计指导空间标准且设有大阳台和屋顶露台形式的私人设施空间。

Ample amenity spaces are provided with a dedicated ‘play space’ to the north of the site. The courtyard spaces are designed to encourage social interaction among the residents and are accessed across the scheme. All apartments exceed London Housing Design Guide spatial standards and feature private amenity space in the form of large balconies and rooftop terraces.

在整个设计改善过程中，公共领域变得更加广泛。例如确保更好的公路和种植更多的树木来改善当地的地区，造福于现有的社区和未来的居民。一种新受控的“家庭地带”将除了必要的车辆通道外的其他空间面积最小化，从而形成一种更完善的步行空间。

Throughout the design process improvements were made to the wider public realm. Steps such as ensuring better highways and planting more trees help to improve the local area and benefit the existing community and future residents. A new controlled ‘home zone’ area minimises all but essential vehicular access, thereby creating an improved pedestrian realm.

园林景观（来自Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt）的设计优化了公共空间的舒适性价值，鼓励社区的融合意识和一种参与感。景观还提供了对地面层的隐私保护，同时，精心设置的交通核心筒确保了被动监测系统的运行。

Landscaping (by Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt) has been designed to optimise the amenity value of the communal spaces, encouraging a sense of community and engagement. Landscaping also provides privacy at ground floor level while carefully positioned circulation cores ensure passive surveillance.
