学校来到我们这里，希望创造一个“音乐卓越中心”，创建一个设备精良、调校完善的音乐厅，专为未放大的室内乐、合唱、演讲而设计，同时也为其他表演艺术提供便利。

The School came to us looking to create a “centre of musical excellence” through the creation of a well-equipped, well-tuned Concert Chamber designed specifically for unamplified sound - chamber music, choral singing, speaking,  while also accommodating other performing arts.

 Ground Floor Plan

这座建筑坐落在伊奥纳学院入口附近的一处缓坡上，作为一种新的象征和公众欢迎的姿态。从乐器的形状和Te Mata峰的折叠景观中，提取出弯曲曲线和角度平面的强烈雕塑语言。巨大的金属屋顶是弯曲和塑造成一种形式，是紧张，但优雅，并与能量共振。

The building sits amidst the trees on a gentle slope near the entry to Iona College as a new symbol and public gesture of welcome. The strong sculptural language of sinuous curves and angled planes is drawn from the shapes of musical instruments and the folded landscape of Te Mata Peak. The great metal roof is bent and shaped into a form that is taut yet graceful, and resonant with energy.

入口大厅是一个戏剧性的双高空间，它强调的是“场合感”。这是一个流动的空间，有接待，酒吧，坐和聚会的区域。广袤的玻璃窗把门厅和外面的风景连接起来。

The Entry Foyer is a dramatic double height space which emphasises the 'sense of occasion'. It is a flowing space with areas for reception, bar, sitting and gathering. The expanse of glazing orientates and connects the Foyer to the landscape beyond.

协奏室是一个宽敞而优雅的房间，带有精细的调音效果。它的中间有300人的座位，阳台周围还有100个座位，营造了一种引人入胜的戏剧氛围。不对称的弧形天花板和倾斜的墙壁赋予了空间一种雕塑的品质和一种空间阴谋感。

The Concert Chamber is a generous and elegant room with finely tuned acoustics. It has tiered seating for 300 people in the centre and a further 100 seats around the balcony, creating an engaging theatrical atmosphere. The asymmetrical curved ceiling and angled walls give the space a sculptural quality and a sense of spatial intrigue.

一扇高窗户从南方带来自然光，一扇低窗框架可以看到风景。室内有百叶窗墙，可为音乐和戏剧用途提供不同的混响，并将声音雕刻的“丝带”反射板集成到天花板上。

A high window brings in natural light from the south and a low window frames a view to the landscape. A louvered wall in the chamber enables different reverberation for musical and theatrical use, and acoustic sculpted ‘ribbon’ reflective panels are integrated into the ceiling.

 Longitudinal Section

使用的材料主要是新西兰制造，成本效益高，可持续，选择耐久性和低维护。他们被创造性地使用，将其提升为一种与景观和设计哲学相协调的雕塑形式的美。粗糙的锯松用作音乐会室和门厅的内衬。

The materials used are mainly NZ made, cost efficient, sustainable and are chosen for durability and low  maintenance. They are used innovatively to elevate them to a sculpted form of beauty in harmony with the landscape and design philosophy. Rough sawn pine is used as an internal lining in the concert chamber and the foyer.

抛光的混凝土地板贯穿整个内部。吉布将天花板与音乐厅连接起来，使雕塑形式更加突出。材料的选择用一点创造了很多东西，创造了平凡的美。优化的隔热R值已与声学性能相结合，以确保舒适的内部环境。

Polished concrete floors run throughout the interior. Gib lines the ceiling to the concert chamber allowing the sculptural form to stand out. The choice of materials creates a lot with a little, creating beauty from the ordinary. Optimized thermal insulation R-values have been installed coupled with acoustic performance to ensure a comfortable internal environment.

 Cross Section

房子后面的设施是为演奏者和乐器的高效流动而设计的。位于舞台一侧的绿色房间与音乐厅有视觉连接。装货湾和厂房位于后方。

The Back of House facilities are designed for the efficient movement of performers and instruments. The Green Room located to the side of the stage has a visual connection to the Concert Chamber. The Loading Bay and Plant Room are discretely located at the rear.

我们认为最好的建筑是形式和功能的完美结合，它不仅应该是美丽的，而且应该是美丽的。我们设计的布莱斯表演艺术中心，我们的目标是创造一个建筑表达的力量和优雅，和一个经验，接近崇高的美的音乐。

We believe the best architecture is a perfect synthesis of form and function, not only should it be beautiful but it should be beautiful to use. With our design for the Blyth Performing Arts Centre we aimed to create an architectural expression of strength and grace, and an experience that approaches the sublime beauty of music.
