简约现代办公大楼

这个投机性的办公室开发项目是通过为Legal and General赢得的建筑竞赛而获得的，该项目由纽卡斯尔市议会出租、管理和维护。该建筑是一座9300平方米的NIA，一楼有A1 / A3的用途，如果需要，每层可以被分成三个租户域。

它是按照英国办公室协会的标准设计的，NIA的入住率是每8平方米一个人，并且符合英国建筑性能评估体系的优秀标准，EPC评级为A。

This speculative office development was secured through an architectural competition win for Legal and General, which is leased, manag ed, and maintained by Newcastle City Council. The building, a 9,300sqm NIA with A1 / A3 use on the ground floor, has been designed so that each floor can be split into three tenant domains if required. It is designed to British Council for Office standards with a ratio of occupancy of one person per 8sqm NIA, and to BREEAM Excellent with an EPC rating of A.

这是自上世纪90年代中期以来在纽卡斯尔市中心建造的第一座重要的A级办公大楼，为超过1200名科学、技术和知识型部门的人员提供了一个现代化的工作空间。

This was the first significant A-grade office building to be built in Newcastle city centre since the mid-1990s and provides a modern workspace for over 1,200 people in the science, technology, and knowledge-based sectors.

车辆通道、残疾人停车场和下车通道被纳入临近的公共领域。这里有一个宽敞的通高共享的接待和着陆空间，以及一个咖啡馆，所有这些都可以直接进入公共领域。

一个三层高的A3单元正对着圣詹姆斯大道，而厂房、屋后和员工的休闲空间则被小心翼翼地藏在地下室，以便不影响这个关键的门户站点的正面活动。

Vehicular access, disabled parking, and drop-off are incorporated into the adjacent public realm. There is a generous double-height shared reception and touchdown space along with a café, all of which have direct access to the public realm. A triple-height A3 unit fronts St James Boulevard whilst plant, back of the house, and staff amenity spaces are carefully tucked into a basement so as to not compromise the active frontage on this key gateway site.

通过表达结构和内部功能的严谨性，我们实现了具有高度透明度的清晰的建筑表达。颜色提供了丰富和深度-黄铜色调捕捉阳光，使建筑在一天中具有不同的特征，改变了它的外观和给人的感觉，为纽卡斯尔的天际线提供一个引人注目的注释。

Through expressing the structure and the rigor of the function within we have achieved a well-articulated architectural expression with a high degree of transparency. Colours provide richness and depth – the earthy copper tones catch the sunlight giving the building a different character throughout the day, changing its look and feel and providing a dramatic addition to Newcastle’s skyline.

2016年，Legal & General Group的投资机构Legal & General Capital成为纽卡斯尔市议会和纽卡斯尔大学的主要融资合作伙伴，建立并资助纽卡斯尔螺旋项目的发展。

In 2016, Legal & General Capital, the investment arm of Legal & General Group, became the principal funding partner with Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University, to build and finance the Newcastle Helix development.

纽卡斯尔螺旋是英国最大的城市再生项目之一。这座占地24英亩的科技中心位于纽卡斯尔市中心，以前是一个啤酒厂，为4000多个工作岗位、办公和研究空间以及450个住宅提供了场所。

Newcastle Helix is one of the largest urban regeneration projects of its kind in the UK. The 24-acre science and technology hub on the former brewery site, located in Newcastle’s city centre provides accommodation for over 4,000 jobs, office and research space, and 450 homes.

发展的目标是成为英国主要科学研究和技术企业的中心，为纽卡斯尔的后代创造知识型就业机会，并将“北方经济中心”扩展到“北方的北部”。

The aim of the development is to become a major UK hub for scientific research, and technology businesses, creating knowledge-based jobs for future generations in Newcastle and extending the Northern Powerhouse to “the North of the North”.
