架构师提供的文本描述。多伦多市中心的东区被救世军选为其最重要的关怀设施。海港灯是一个86，000平方英尺，七层楼的过渡房屋，一个住宅成瘾康复计划和支持社区和家庭服务。在Jarvis St和Shuter St.的西南交叉口锚定海港灯是保护区，这是供考虑的城市元素。

Text description provided by the architects. Toronto’s downtown east side was selected by the Salvation Army for its flagship facility of caring. The Harbour Light is an 86,000-sqaure-foot, seven-storey building with transitional housing, a residential addictions recovery program and supportive community and family services. Anchoring Harbour Light at the southwest intersection of Jarvis St. and Shuter St. is the Sanctuary, which is the urban element presented for consideration.

重要的是，在城市活动繁忙的十字路口，这一设施在城市景观的大背景下起到灯塔的作用，而城市景观可能看起来不人情味，与弱势群体疏远，而且它能够与寻求帮助的人无言地接触和联系。救世军发展了一种独特的能力，将信仰与实用主义、战略与拯救、田园与实践结合在一起。海港灯努力在整个建筑中反映这些价值观，并在庇护所，一个灵活的社区教堂空间中找到了最充分的体现。海港灯是一种设施，人们可以根据自己的传统建立自己的根基；人们从消费者转移到贡献者；我们社会的弊病可以公开改变，而不是隐藏起来。通过帮助人们以一种有意义的方式重新融入社会，“港湾之光”也可以成为其他人的榜样，将健康、信仰和社区发展融为一体。

It was important that this facility, at a busy crossroads of urban activity, serve as a beacon against the wider backdrop of a cityscape that can seem impersonal and alienating to the vulnerable, and that it be able to reach out and connect wordlessly with those seeking help. The Salvation Army has developed a unique ability to blend faith and pragmatism; strategy and salvation; the pastoral and the practical. Harbour Light strove to reflect these values throughout the building and find its fullest expression in the Sanctuary, a flexible community church space. Harbour Light is a facility where people can establish their own roots in their own sense of tradition; people move from consumer to contributor; the ills of our society can be openly transformed - not hidden away. By helping people re-integrate back into society in a meaningful way, Harbour Light can also be a role model for others in the way in which it integrates health, faith, and community development.

需要从建筑物的每个组成部分中提取最大的价值，这是项目的一个指导目标。作为一个非营利机构，资本和运营成本是救世军非常关注的问题，任何设施开支的节省都会为他们的项目提供更多的资金。考虑到这一点，设计了由混凝土和砖块组成的高性能建筑围护结构，为建筑提供了优异的保温和耐久性。结合回火空气系统，而不是传统的空调和简单的热回收策略，该建筑具有很高的能源效率。庇护所自信地在贾维斯街和舒特街的交汇处，以单一的体积，舒适地与可识别的红砖底座相适应，这一点在整个街区都很明显。这座三层楼高的建筑，无论是可到达的还是离散的，都被包裹在一个明亮的外墙里，传达着作为希望灯塔的海港之光的精神和人道主义使命。

The need to extract the greatest possible value from each component of the building was a guiding goal for the project. As a not-for-profit institution, capital and operation costs are a great concern for the Salvation Army, and any savings in facility expenses provide more funding to their programs. With this in mind, a high-performance building envelope consisting of concrete and brick was designed, offering both superior insulation and durability for the building. Combined with a tempered air system instead of conventional air conditioning and simple heat recovery strategies, the building is highly energy efficient. The Sanctuary confidently addresses the intersection of Jarvis and Shuter Streets with a single volume scaled to fit comfortably at the corner with the recognizable red brick base as evident throughout the neighbourhood. Both accessible and discrete, the three-storey volume is wrapped in a luminous façade to communicate the Harbour Light’s spiritual and humanitarian mission as a beacon of hope.

在海港灯的居民计划是过渡性的，在那里生活了几个月的公共环境在北部的住宅，客户最终毕业后，生活在他们自己的小，但完整的公寓，在南住宅侧的建筑物。这些组件是独立的砌体体积。在底层，一条中央走廊将项目室、教室、休闲空间、居民可以与游客共享膳食的餐厅、两个景观美化的庭院、以及庇护所和社区教堂连接在一起，它们作为独立的空间，位于住宅两侧的北面。砖石屏风将公众与居住在中心保护范围内的居民、庭院与街道之间的界线联系起来。

The resident program at Harbour Light is transitional where after a period of months of living in a communal setting in the north residence, clients eventually graduate to living in their own small but complete apartment in the south residence wing of the building. These components are separate masonry volumes. On the ground floor a central corridor links together program rooms, classrooms, amenity spaces, a dining room where residents can share meals with visitors, two landscaped courtyards and the Sanctuary and community church, which sits as an independent volume to the north of the residence wings. Brick masonry screens articulate the line between the public and the residents living within the protection of the centre, between the courtyards and the street.

为了向街上传达它的作用，庇护所被涂上聚碳酸酯面板，背光在街角产生一个灯塔，象征着军队的使命是一个充满希望的地方。一层明亮的面纱浮在砖石基座上方，向后倾斜，露出两个刻在砖头上的十字架，在没有要求的情况下提供了拯救。在阳极化的铝桁架上，莱昂斯面纱被挡在建筑的围护层上，这也降低了三层建筑体积内的太阳能增益。瓦楞纸面板后面的莱昂斯提供了最大的绝缘和镜面折射光线均匀通过面纱。

To convey its role to the street, the Sanctuary is clad in polycarbonate panels that are backlit to produce a beacon on the corner, emblematic of the Army’s mandate as a place of hope. An illuminated veil floats above its masonry base and cuts back to reveal two crosses incised into brick, offering salvation without demanding it. The lexan veil, held off of the building envelope on anodized aluminum trusses, also lowers solar gain within the three-storey volume. Corrugated galvalum panels behind the lexan offer a maximum of insulation and a specular surface to refract light evenly across the veil.

圣殿通过点亮交叉口而使之生机勃勃。窗户被冲入砖基，仔细调整视图和自然光。一瞥内的节目揭示了一个温暖，木内衬的房间，进一步发出一个光辉的硬化街景。在海港灯的地板、磨坊、门和橱柜中广泛使用木材，进一步减少了建筑物的机构质量。庇护所锚定附属的住宅塔和框架的内部庭院。它的聚集，明亮的外观和紧凑的规模一起工作，以沟通海港之光的精神和人道主义使命。

The Sanctuary enlivens the intersection by literally illuminating it. Windows are punched into the brick base to carefully modulate view and natural light. Glimpses of the program within reveal a warm, wood-lined chamber that further imparts a glow onto the hardened streetscape. The extensive use of wood in flooring, millwork, doors and cabinetry at Harbour Light further serves to lessen the building’s institutional qualities. The Sanctuary anchors the attached residential towers and frames an inner courtyard. Its massing, luminous façade and compact scale work together to communicate the Harbour Light’s spiritual and humanitarian mission.
