MUTT与Universal Works的创意关系始于伦敦一家酒店的酒吧，在12月的一个寒冷的日子里，一个问题：如何将服装的方法转化为建筑的方法？作为他们的客户，我们已经对这个品牌有了了解和欣赏–它的背景、它的核心工艺以及它背后的人。通过与大卫、斯蒂芬妮以及更广泛的Universal Works家族的密切讨论，我们开发了一种基于他们精神的这三个方面的建筑方法，并将其用于新店的设计中。贝里克街26号是这种合作和新发现的友谊的第一个成果。位于Coal Drops Yard的旗舰店将于10月开业。

MUTT’s creative relationship with Universal Works began in the bar of a London hotel, on a cold December day, with a question: how does an approach to clothing translate into an approach to architecture? As customers of theirs, we already had an understanding and appreciation of the brand – its context, the craft at the heart of it, and the people behind it. Through close discussion with David, Stephanie, and the wider Universal Works family we developed an architectural approach based on these three facets of their ethos to be used in the design of their new stores. 26 Berwick Street is the first fruit of this collaboration and new found friendship. A flagship store at Coal Drops Yard will follow it in October.

贝里克街26号与其他商店属于同一家族，但具有略微不同、非常独特的风味和特点。这是由该单元本身的形式、感觉和位置决定的，对其环境和约束条件作出反应，产生一种创新的建筑反应，既极为熟悉又完美奇特。通过采用大胆而诚实的材料调色板的建筑插入，并通过与该单元的特异性紧密合作，创造了意想不到的惊喜时刻。

26 Berwick Street is of the same family as the other stores, but with a slightly different, very unique, flavor and character. This is determined by the form, feel and location of the unit itself, reacting to its environment and constraints to produce an innovative architectural response which is at once extremely familiar and perfectly peculiar. Unexpected and surprising moments have been created through architectural insertions with a bold and honest material palette, and by closely working with the idiosyncrasies of the unit.

现有的混凝土结构早已被以前的租户掩盖了，它被重新赋予了鲜艳的绿色，让人联想到对Universal Works系列有如此影响的磨坊和工厂。大面积的镜子被用来安装在定制的木材框架上，以创造体积的幻觉，并通过空间创造新的视线。一面原始的石板墙被重新用绿色机械加工的Valchromat作为更衣室的墙壁和门。

The existing concrete structure, long since concealed and covered by previous tenants, has been brought back to life in a vibrant green, reminiscent of the mills and factories which have been such an influence on Universal Works collections. Large expanses of the mirror have been used, mounted to bespoke timber framework, to create illusions of volume and new sightlines through the space. An original blockwork wall has been resurrected in green machined Valchromat as the changing room walls and doors.
