位于格林威治半岛的设计区是一个占地一公顷的河边场地，有16座新建筑，将为创意企业的交易、互动和发展提供一个经济实惠的基地。来自欧洲各地的八家新兴建筑事务所各自得到一对建筑，并被要求盲目工作，不知道其他建筑的设计。其结果是，在一个致力于设计、艺术、技术、工艺和音乐的新社区里，色彩和形式的多样性具有挑衅性。在这种未定义和不断发展的背景下，在没有城市参考的情况下，该项目定义了两个非常实用的建筑–工业集装箱，最大限度地提高了内部的灵活性，并探索了基本建筑系统的使用。该项目发挥了艺术家工作室的想象力，强调了在一个由大窗户、双层高的房间和某些原始材料定义的工作空间中对光线的使用。
The Design District on the Greenwich Peninsula is a one-hectare riverside site with 16 new buildings that will provide an affordable base for creative businesses to trade, interact and grow. Eight emerging architectural practices from across Europe were each given a pair of buildings and asked to work blind, without knowing what the others were designed. The result is a provocative diversity of color and form in a new neighbourhood devoted to design, art, tech, craft, and music. In this kind of undefined and evolving context, devoid of urban references, the project defines two very pragmatic buildings – industrial containers that maximize the flexibility of the interior and explore the use of basic construction systems. The project plays with the imagination of an artist’s studio, emphasizing the use of light in a workspace defined by large windows, double-height rooms, and certain raw materiality.
位于入口处的A1具有镜面抛光的外观，吸引了来自远近的游客，而D4具有细长的黑色外墙，加入了中央广场的活动。这两个体量的外观表达了创造一个由一对数字组成的单一项目的想法，这些数字在色彩上是对立的，但又是相互对话的。色调上的差异提供了穿越该区的两个时刻，同时显然是源于一个统一的设计逻辑。
A1, located at the entrance, has a mirror-polish appearance that invites visitors from near and far, while D4, with its slim black facade, joins the activities of the central square. The appearance of the two volumes expresses the idea of creating a single project made up of a pair of figures, chromatically opposed, but in dialogue with each other. The chromatic differences provide two moments along the path through the district while evidently stemming from a unitary design logic.
反射的材料性将建筑溶入到未来的环境中，并使它们参与到街区的生活中，吸收和反射周围环境的光线和颜色，因为它们随着一天的时间和季节的变化而变化。
The reflective materiality dissolves the buildings into the future context and makes them participate in the life of the neighbourhood, absorbing and reflecting the light and colours of the surrounding environment as they change with the passage of the day and the seasons.
作为一个整体，该设计呼应了该地区的工业历史和一些标志性的二十世纪的参照物的魅力，同时为设计区的城市生活产生了一个抽象的背景。
As a whole, the design echoes the industrial history of the area and the charm of some iconic twentieth-century references while generating an abstract backdrop to the urban life of the Design District.
