Windmill Hill is sited in the grounds of Waddesdon - one of the most visited historic houses among England's National Trust properties Photography by Richard Bryant

作为Waddesdon档案室和罗斯柴尔德基金会的新家，以Waddesdon----最初由罗斯柴尔德家族-风车山拥有的英国国家信托财产中，以Waddesdon-----------为理由。
风车山中心旨在成为Waddesdon代表的领域（艺术、遗产、文化、保护、环境和园艺）和罗斯柴尔德基金会慈善工作中心的研究和推广设施，风车山中心需要一个建筑设计来进行匹配。
而且，多亏了伦敦的实践斯蒂芬·马歇尔建筑师，新的复杂——转换和扩展的前奶牛场——已经成为2011年里巴奖之一。
风车山遵循原始建筑的占地空间，保持对农场类型的参考，如中央庭院和材质选项板（橡木窗和百叶窗、渲染墙、木包层和锌屋顶）。
位于建筑群内的三个主要区域——阅览室、办公室和档案——围绕着三个侧面的庭院布置，而第四个侧面向南开放。
建筑师们围绕着周围的令人惊叹的景色和正式的景观内部花园，精心规划的开口将建筑与景色连接起来；
西方的观点尤为突出，由25米的横梁突出显示。
雀巢以1877年建成的Waddesdon庄园为由，通过精心挑选的材料，使新的复杂微妙、最小和精美。
它也是一家很好的公司，以莎拉·卢卡斯、安格斯·费尔赫斯特和斯蒂芬·考克斯等喜欢的雕塑为由加入。

It opened earlier this summer as a new home for the Waddesdon archives and a centre for the Rothschild Foundation's philanthropic work

Thanks to London-based practice Stephen Marshall Architects, the new complex – a converted and extended former dairy farm – has already scooped one of the 2011 RIBA awards

Windmill Hill follows the footprint of the original buildings, keeping references to the farm typology, like the central courtyard...

... as well as the material palette, comprising oak windows and shutters, rendered walls, wood cladding and zinc roofs

The architects framed the surrounding views and formal landscaped internal garden with carefully planned openings that connect the building with the scenery; the western view notably stands out, highlighted by a 25m beam

The three main areas that are housed within the complex – a reading room, offices and archives – are arranged around the courtyard on three sides, while the fourth side is open to the south

Vertical louvers provide a strong visual and practical feature

Historically, they protected cattle sheds from wind while allowing fresh air to circulate. Now they shield the Reading Room and Gallery from excess direct light

Oak gridshell roofs add to the geometry of the interior

Lights are recessed out of view where possible

Nestled in the grounds of the 1877-built Waddesdon Manor, the new complex is subtle, minimal and beautifully detailed through its thoughtful material selection
