Situated at the very western edge of the City Cluster, the site of 60 Gracechurch Street (60GCS) marks the transition between the ending of the City’s tall buildings and the historic character of the Bank Conservation Area. A new world-class tall building for the City of London, the project combines the highest aspirations for sustainability, public access, workplace and architectural design.

格雷斯彻奇街 60 号 (60GCS) 位于城市建筑群最西端，标志着伦敦金融城高层建筑的终止线与历史风貌的银行保护区之间的过渡。该项目是伦敦金融城一座全新的世界级高层建筑，融合了对可持续性、公共通道、工作场所和建筑设计的极致追求。

Designed for developers Sellar and Obayashi, the 36-storey development consisting of podium and tower will provide over 37,000 square metres of A-Grade office space while offering a variety of public amenities.

这座由开发商 Sellar 和 Obayashi 设计的 36 层高楼将提供超过 37,000 平方米的甲级办公空间，并提供各种公共设施。

Fitting into a rich urban context   融入丰富的城市环境

The site of 60GCS is both historically and architecturally significant, neighbouring the Walkie Talkie and near other landmarks such as Bank of England, Lloyds of London, Leadenhall Market and the Gherkin. The central location means that as a tall building 60GCS will be visible from across the city. Therefore, it is designed to be a legible addition to the skyline, whilst respecting its nearby developments and consolidating the City Cluster.

60GCS 的选址在历史和建筑层面都意义非凡，毗邻对讲机大楼 (Walkie Talkie)，以及英格兰银行、伦敦劳合社、利德贺市场 (Leadenhall Market) 和小黄瓜大楼 (Gherkin) 等地标建筑。其中心位置意味着，作为一座高层建筑，60GCS 将从城市的各个角落清晰可见。因此，它的设计旨在成为天际线中清晰可见的一笔，同时尊重周边的发展，并巩固城市建筑集群。

Informed by the rich urban context, the building’s primary façades will be focused to the west and to the north. The western façade is divided in two parts, with planted balconies on each level appearing to zip together the seemingly offset masses; this is defined as the building’s Green Spine. The Spine not only offers the building’s users a private space to be outdoors without having to leave the building but is also a striking illustration of the biophilic design approach that characterises the project.

受丰富的城市环境影响，建筑的主要立面将集中在西面和北面。西面立面分为两部分，每层都设有绿植阳台，将看似错开的体块连接在一起；这被称为建筑的“绿色脊柱”。“脊柱”不仅为建筑使用者提供了一个无需离开建筑即可享受户外生活的私密空间，也彰显了该项目标志性的亲生物设计理念。

With pedestrians in mind   以行人为中心

Connecting London Bridge and Liverpool Street Station, Gracechurch Street is one of the busiest commuter channels in London, putting high pressure on the pedestrian comfort. To address this, the podium of 60GCS oversails the street level, forming a legible undercroft that carves into the base of the building.

格雷斯彻奇街连接伦敦桥和利物浦街车站，是伦敦最繁忙的通勤通道之一，对行人的舒适度造成了极大的压力。为了解决这个问题，60GCS 的裙楼设计出挑，形成了一个清晰的灰空间，并嵌入建筑底部。

The covered space created by the oversail eases the traffic of pedestrians by maximizing street level area while providing a new public realm. The undercroft will be a green refuge where pedestrians and visitors alike can escape the intensity of the city for a moment or sit down for a coffee before continuing onwards or transiting to other amenities in the building.

由裙楼构成的遮蔽空间通过最大化街道平面面积，缓解了行人交通，同时提供了新的公共空间。地下空间将成为一片绿意盎然的休憩之所，行人和访客都可以在这里暂时逃离城市的喧嚣，或在此小憩片刻，享用一杯咖啡，然后再继续前行或前往大楼内的其他设施。

Flexibility embedded in the DNA   融入 DNA 的灵活性

The rapidly changing nature of work requires “future proof” workplaces to be highly adaptable. To that end, the design of 60GCS embeds flexibility within the DNA of the building. Large floorplates with minimal column interruptions and generous floor to ceiling heights support both a broad range of interior set ups (from cellular to open plan) and make future transformations structurally feasible.

快速变化的工作环境要求“面向未来”的工作场所具有高度的适应性。为此，60GCS 的设计将灵活性融入了建筑的 DNA 之中。宽阔的空间、极少的柱子干扰以及开阔的层高，不仅支持各种室内布局（从蜂窝式到开放式），也使未来的结构改造成为可能。

The flexible and open office floors allow for work environments where connection and collaboration are at the forefront. A variety of staff amenities will bring together both colleagues and peers, most notably the outdoor balconies which will be a focal point on days with nice weather. Here, tenants can engage in both formal and informal activities in lush surroundings, contributing to better employee well-being.

灵活开放的办公楼层营造出以沟通和协作为核心的工作环境。各种员工便利设施将同事和同事聚集在一起，其中最引人注目的是户外阳台，在天气晴朗的日子里，它将成为人们的焦点。在这里，租户可以在郁郁葱葱的环境中开展正式和非正式活动，从而提升员工的幸福感。

Inviting the public up   邀请公众上楼

The development will deliver a comprehensive suite of public amenities, evolving how city buildings respond to the Destination City policy. The green, sheltered undercroft at ground level will lead visitors through a passage—displaying historic insights about the site and area—to a lift, taking them to the top of the building.

该项目将提供一套全面的公共设施，不断改进城市建筑对“目的地城市”政策的响应。位于地面层的绿色被遮蔽灰空间将引导访客穿过一条展示场地和区域历史信息的通道，到达电梯厅，直达建筑顶层。

At level 35 they will be met by extraordinary views out westwards over London from an indoor viewing gallery that extends outside to a free-to-access roof garden. Beyond a place for the public, the top floor also houses a unique learning space where students from local schools can come to learn about the rich heritage of the city in what will be one of London’s most special classrooms.

在35层，游客可以从室内观景廊欣赏到西边伦敦的壮丽景色，该观景廊一直延伸到室外可免费进入的屋顶花园。除了面向公众开放的空间外，顶层还设有一个独特的学习空间，供当地学校的学生在此学习这座城市丰富的文化遗产，这里将成为伦敦最特别的教室之一。
