The Hithe是位于Rotherhithe的一个新的、低成本的、可拆卸的商业孵化器空间，由IF_DO设计。这个名字来自于古英语，描述了一个登陆地点或小船的港口，参考了该地区临近泰晤士河的航海历史，以及该建筑在培养新生企业家方面的作用。
The Hithe is a new, low-cost, demountable business incubator space in Rotherhithe designed by IF_DO. The name, from Old English, describes a landing place or small port for ships and boats, making reference to the nautical history of the area fronting onto the Thames, and the building’s role in fostering nascent entrepreneurs.
受南华克委员会的委托，IF_DO与先锋社会企业MIME Space CIC密切合作，将一个多余的场地投入生产性使用。这座200平方米的建筑提供了12个单位的工作空间；其中最大的单位由Meanwhile Space占用。
Commissioned by Southwark Council, IF_DO has worked closely with the pioneering social enterprise Meanwhile Space CIC to bring a redundant site into productive use. The 200m2 building provides 12 units of workspace; the largest is occupied by Meanwhile Space.
The Hithe是该事务所与Umember Space合作开发的第二个项目，此前，Granby Space在滑铁卢的Lower Marsh进行了350平方米的短期翻新，并在五年后关闭。The Hithe代表了Meanwhile Space的一个新起点，它是一个为搬迁而设计的新建设施。在它的第一个版本中，它代表了罗瑟希特的一个新的社会基础设施：一个正在经历快速变化的社区中心。
The Hithe is the practice’s second project developed with Meanwhile Space, following the success of Granby Space, a 350m2 short-term refurbishment on Lower Marsh, Waterloo, which has closed after five years. The Hithe represents a new departure for Meanwhile Space, as a new-build facility designed to be relocated. In this, its first iteration, it represents a new piece of social infrastructure for Rotherhithe: a community hub in a neighborhood undergoing rapid change.
这个相对较小的场地位于阿尔比恩街，在更广泛的罗瑟希特总体规划区域内，并被南华克委员会确定为在委员会为该地区制定计划的同时使用长达11年。
The relatively small site is located on Albion Street, within the wider Rotherhithe masterplan area, and was identified by Southwark Council for meanwhile use of up to 11 years while the council develops plans for the area.
在预算紧张的情况下，该结构是与工程师Elliott Wood和制造商Weber Industries合作设计的，可以完全拆卸和重新定位，确保长期使用。它由一个高效的轻质钢和木材框架构成，采用定制和预制部件以及结构性绝缘板（SIP），并建在工地现有的地基上，在很大程度上消除了项目中对任何新混凝土的需求。
Working within the constraints of a tight budget, the structure has been designed in collaboration with engineer Elliott Wood and fabricator Weber Industries to be fully demountable and relocatable, ensuring a long-term use. It is constructed of an efficient lightweight steel and timber frame made with bespoke and prefabricated components and structural insulated panels (SIP), and built onto the site’s existing foundations, largely eliminating the need for any new concrete on the project.
在内部，木材结构和服务被暴露出来。十个微型工作室围绕着底层的中央聚会空间布置，与厨房和场地北部的院子相连，院子将被改造成一个种植的户外社交空间。两个较大的工作空间位于一楼。所有单元都从外部进入，减少了对建筑流通空间的要求。
Inside, the timber structure and services have been left exposed. Ten micro-studios are arranged around a ground floor central gathering space with links to the kitchen and yard to the north of the site, which will be transformed into a planted outdoor social space. Two larger workspaces are located on the first floor. All units are accessed externally, reducing the requirement for built circulation space.
该建筑作为现有社区和周围新开发项目之间的铰链，旨在连接新的和现有的居民，因为该地区正在经历重大变化。南北立面的双高玻璃灯笼在街景中创造了一个地标，目的是增加阿尔比恩街沿线其他商业的人流。
The building acts as a hinge between the existing community and the new developments around it, aiming to connect new and existing residents as the area goes through significant change. Double-height glazed lanterns on the north and south elevations create a landmark within the streetscape, with the aim of increasing footfall to other businesses along Albion Street.
希特展示了建筑业如何利用循环经济思维来减少其碳排放，并为城市复兴提供更多的可持续解决方案。它是伦敦CIRCuIT（再生城市的循环建设）的三个循环经济示范项目之一。从长远来看，当该地块准备进行永久性重建时，该建筑将被分解成不同的组件，并在另一个地方重新安装。在短期内，通过为当地企业提供负担得起的工作空间，The Hithe有望为Rotherhithe注入活力，在该地区发生变化时支持社区。
The Hithe demonstrates how the construction industry can utilize circular economy thinking to reduce its carbon emissions and offer more sustainable solutions for urban regeneration. It is one of three circular economy demonstrator projects in London for CIRCuIT (Circular Construction in Regenerative Cities). In the long term, when the site is ready for permanent redevelopment, the building will be broken down into its various components and re-erected on an alternative site. In the short term, by offering affordable workspace to local businesses, The Hithe promises to inject vibrancy into Rotherhithe, supporting the community as the area undergoes change.
租金以可承受的价格提供，以吸引个体经营者和初创企业。除了Meanwhile Space，租户还包括一个专注于让孩子们活跃起来的社会企业、一个药剂师、一个建筑师、一个电影制片人、一个美容企业家和一个缝纫俱乐部辅导员。
Rents are offered at an affordable price to attract sole traders and start-ups. In addition to Meanwhile Space, tenants include a social enterprise focused on getting kids active, an apothecarist, an architect, a filmmaker, a beauty entrepreneur, and a sewing club tutor.
