皇家妇产科学院的新楼位于伦敦南华克，通过创建一个新的中庭，将两座现有的建筑，即19世纪的啤酒花仓库和1980年代的办公楼编织在一起。
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ new building in Southwark, London knits together two existing buildings, a converted 19th-century hop warehouse, and a 1980s office building by creating a new atrium.
新楼提供了办公空间，以支持学院200多名员工的创新工作方式，以及会议设施和一个公共咖啡馆。它将使学院能够提供一个完全无障碍的建筑，强调健康、福祉和可持续设计。
The new building provides office spaces to support innovative ways of working for the College’s more than 200 staff, as well as conference facilities and a public café. It will enable the College to provide a fully accessible building with an emphasis on health, wellbeing, and sustainable design.
它庆祝其作为全球妇女健康中心的作用，为来自英国和世界各地的成员提供多种灵活的教育、工作场所和社交空间，以及会议和工作区域。
It celebrates its role as a hub for women’s health globally, providing a multitude of flexible educational, workplace, social spaces, as well as meeting and working areas for members from the UK and around the world.
新的皇家学院项目建立在Bennetts Associates多年的低能耗建筑工作经验上，通过对两座现有建筑的改造再利用和翻新。该项目经过精心设计，达到了较高的可持续发展标准，同时最大限度地保留了现有的历史建筑和敏感的内部修复。通过小心翼翼地暴露原始建筑结构的关键元素，包括砖砌和桁架，Bennetts Associates创造了一个具有历史感的特色空间。
The new Royal College project builds on Bennetts Associates’ years of experience working on low-energy buildings through adaptive reuse and refurbishment of two existing buildings. The project has been carefully designed to a high sustainability standard, supported by the maximum retention of the existing historic buildings and sensitive interior restoration. By carefully exposing key elements of the original building fabric, including the brickwork and trusses, Bennetts Associates has created a characterful space with a sense of history.
四层楼的玻璃中庭覆盖了两座建筑之间的庭院空间，以提高整个建筑的自然光水平，特别是下面的中央会议区。底层的咖啡馆和休闲空间可供来访的会员和当地社区使用，中庭被设计成一个积极的、吸引人的空间，以促进健康。
The four-story glazed atrium covers the courtyard space between the two buildings serving to increase levels of natural light throughout the building, particularly in the central meeting area below. With a ground-floor café and drop-in space that can be used by both visiting members and the local community, the atrium has been designed to be an active and engaging space that promotes wellbeing.
中庭的一个主要特征是雕塑楼梯，它有多种功能：通过使循环系统清晰可见，作为一种寻路装置，纠正两座原始建筑之间不一致的楼层高度，并解决旧啤酒花仓库的结构问题。该楼梯为人们创造了会面和分享想法的机会，同时也鼓励人们在这两座组成的建筑之间移动和流动。
A key feature of the atrium is the sculptural stair that serves a multi-functional purpose: as a wayfinding device by making circulation visible, in rectifying the disparate floor height between the two original buildings, and by solving structural issues of the old hop warehouse. The stair creates opportunities for people to meet and share ideas while also encouraging movement and a flow of people between the two-component buildings.
