架构师提供的文本描述。领先的多学科设计公司GHDWoodhead最近为澳大利亚墨尔本的一个主要城市公墓建立了一个新的碳中和功能中心和行政总部。位于斯普林维尔植物园的中心，克拉伦斯里尔登中心被设计成与其繁茂的植物环境相协调。

Text description provided by the architects. Leading multi-disciplinary design firm GHD Woodhead has recently completed a new carbon-neutral function centre and administrative headquarters for a major metropolitan cemeteries trust in Melbourne, Australia. Situated in the heart of Springvale Botanical Cemetery, the Clarence Reardon Centre was designed to sit in harmony with its lush botanical context.

上层地板的质量是用高反光双层玻璃覆盖的，这使得它不仅在恶劣的澳大利亚气候下表现良好，而且还能在其自然环境的形象中披上自己的外衣，而不是与之竞争。这座建筑的漫长、光滑和短暂的形状捕捉并延续了周围天空和树冠的颜色和形状，随着时间的流逝和天气的转变-这是对美丽而又短暂的生活模式的简单致敬。

The mass of the upper floor is clad in highly-reflective double-glazing, allowing it to not only perform well in the harsh Australian climate but also cloak itself in the imagery of its natural setting rather than compete with it. The building’s long, smooth and ephemeral form catches and continues the colours and shapes of the surrounding sky and tree canopies, shifting and changing as time passes and weather turns – a simple homage to the beautiful yet transitory patterns of life.

该中心是一座混合用途的建筑，包括7间灵活的功能房、一间商业厨房、一楼的员工食堂、咖啡厅和花店，而客户的总部在一楼占据1800平方米的开放式办公空间。

The centre is a mixed-use building that contains 7 flexible function rooms, a commercial kitchen, staff canteen, café and florist on the ground floor while the client’s head offices occupy 1800 m2 of open- plan office space on the first floor.

位于墓地中央分局内，它是连接墓地各个活动中心的中心-包括西部现有的小教堂，东南部一个新装修的面向顾客的中心，以及北面的维修设施。该建筑允许将大部分客户的劳动力整合到一个单一的屋檐下，并构成墓地中期商业和环境设计战略的一个关键组成部分。

Sited within the cemetery’s central precinct, it serves as a focal point connecting the cemetery’s various centres of activity – these include existing chapels to the west, a newly-refurbished customer-facing centre to the south-east and maintenance facilities immediately to the north. The building allows for the consolidation of much of the client’s workforce under a single roof and forms a critical component of the cemetery’s medium-term business and environmental design strategy.

 Ground Floor Plan

考虑到墓地运作和环境的敏感性质，建筑物的材料调色板故意保持中立和永恒，强调高质量的现场混凝土、玻璃、青石和本地木材的原始颜色和纹理。非常强调通过完全高度的周边玻璃和慷慨的牧师照明从上面渗透到室内空间和视野之外的自然日光的渗透。

In deference to the sensitive nature of the cemetery’s operations and ambience, the building’s material palette is deliberately neutral and timeless, emphasizing the raw colours and textures of high- quality in-situ concrete, glass, bluestone and local timbers. Great emphasis was placed on the permeation of natural daylight into and views out of interior spaces via full-height perimeter glazing and generous clerestory lighting from above.

慷慨的青石铺就的行人空间和大型木材室外甲板创造了无缝的街道经验，并拥抱一棵百年老树胶树的东南部。

Generous bluestone-paved pedestrian spaces and a large timber outdoor deck create a seamless street-level experience, and embrace a centuries-old gum tree to the south-east.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

在底层，建筑物的支撑结构得到了精心改进和优化-混凝土柱被塑造成可操作的墙板的外壳，而一个扫地的特色柱不仅象征着进入和地址，而且还支撑着东南部上一层楼的一个很大的悬垂部分。通过这种方式，建筑物的大量上部质量似乎漂浮并溶解在其环境中，减少了对其视觉的影响。

On the ground floor, the supporting structure of the building was carefully refined and optimised – concrete columns were shaped to form housings for operable wall panels, and a sweeping feature column serves not only to signify entry and address but also support a large overhanging portion of the upper floor on the south-east. In this way, the substantial upper mass of the building appears to float and dissolve into its environment, reducing its visual impact.

除了令人印象深刻的全景外，Clarence Reardon中心还被设想成为当地环保建筑的领头羊，在“一个星球”评级系统下设计成碳中性建筑。从一个高性能双层玻璃外墙侧面，该建筑利用其巨大的露天屋顶面积，以收集雨水和太阳能。

In addition to its impressive panoramic exterior, the Clarence Reardon Centre was envisioned to be a local leader of environmentally responsive architecture, designed to be carbon-neutral under the One Planet rating system. A side from a high-performance double-glazed façade, the building leverages its large open roof area to harvest rainwater and solar energy.

该建筑物的上部体积悬垂在底层，以减少眩光和直接的太阳能增益，允许完全高度的双层玻璃的房子前面的空间，提供最大的视野到景观。在西面的立面上，这栋建筑的立面和地板被撞成了多面平面，这些平面将视线从刺眼的黄昏阳光下射出，在夕阳的映衬下，周围的树木线条形成了千变万化的倒影。

The upper volume of the building overhangs the ground floor to reduce glare and direct solar gain, allowing full-height double-glazing to front-of-house spaces that provide maximised views out into the landscape. On the western elevation, the building ‘s façade and floor plate break into faceted planes that direct vision glazing away from the harsh evening sun and create kaleidoscopic reflections of nearby tree lines silhouetted against the setting sun.
