这座新政府办公大楼的场地规划和景观设计，体现了预算非常有限的创新设计。通过场地设计以及景观提供的生态系统服务，实现了雄心勃勃的项目环境目标。利用景观的再生特性，同时不增加前期成本，当然也降低了长期成本，景观过滤雨水，为建筑物提供气候控制，并以蓄水池和区域本土景观保存水。

The site planning and landscape design for this new Government office building exemplifies innovative design on a very limited budget. Ambitious project environmental goals were met with site design, as well as the ecosystem services provided by the landscape. Taking best advantage of the regenerative nature of landscape, while not adding to upfront costs, and certainly reducing long term costs, the landscape filters stormwater, provides climate control to the building, and conserves water with cisterns and a regionally native landscape.

Project Narrative:

通常，建筑物被放置在花园应该在的地方。这个项目的成功源于相反的方法。相反，一个宽敞的庭院花园，不受高速公路噪音、风和其他不适的影响，取代了一座废弃的石棉污染建筑，同时还能看到周围山麓的景色。位于场地边缘的狭长建筑，最大限度地利用室内光线和通风，同时为露台和种植的露台创造空间，供整个政府校园工作、开会和娱乐。

Often buildings are placed where the garden should be. The success of this project stems from the opposite approach. Instead, a generous courtyard garden protected from freeway noise, wind and other discomforts replaces an abandoned asbestos-contaminated building, while featuring views to the surrounding foothills. The long, narrow building, placed at the edges of the site, maximizes interior access to natural light and ventilation while creating space for patios and planted terraces for working, meeting, and recreation for the entire government campus.

这座建筑的体验始于一座花园，入口穿过翠绿的庭院，建筑的南边和西边，以及北面和东面都有宽敞的楼梯和拱形的入口坡道。艺术、景观和建筑重叠(并共享预算)，为在这里工作的人提供尽可能多的服务。户外工作站(有电源和数据)、可占用的艺术品和本地景观在一个和平的花园中相互作用，以供工作、协作和娱乐。

The experience of the building begins in a garden, with entrance through the verdant courtyard, defined on the south and west by the building, and on the north and east with generous stairs and an arcing access ramp. Art, landscape, and architecture overlap (and share budgets) to achieve as much as possible for the people who work here. Outdoor workstations (with power and data), occupiable artwork, and native landscape interact in a peaceful garden for work, collaboration and recreation.

设计团队紧密合作，采用了许多其他策略来整合生态效益的景观特征，在创造诗意的、生产性的和经济的空间的同时将额外的成本降到最低：

The design team collaborated closely to employ many other strategies to incorporate eco-effective landscape features that minimize additional cost while creating poetic, productive and economical space:

种植与被动气候改造

Planting And Passive Climate Modification

一个戏剧性的保存橡树定义了庭院与适应当地降雨的其他当地本土植物材料，创造了鸟类和其他小动物，以及人的栖息地。

与南加州爱迪生合作进行的白天照明技术研究，测试了被动气候变化的设计方案。这项工作启发了戏剧性的330‘长格子的阴影织物和开花紫藤，定义了一个绿色的特点，从相邻的主要公路上看到的新卡萨。种植的格子和织物保护了南部和西部地区的季节性热量，以提高员工的舒适性和能源性能。早春，这座“绿色”建筑变成了紫藤花的薰衣草。秋天，庭院正面的垂直凹槽，种植着当地的葡萄藤蔓，用令人吃惊的红色落叶覆盖着建筑物。当对游客描述这座建筑时，他们会问：“你指的是高速公路上那座看起来像树屋的建筑吗？”

Technical day-lighting studies, performed collaboratively with Southern California Edison, tested design options for passive climate modification. This work informed the design of the dramatic 330' long trellis of shade fabric and flowering wisteria that defines a green identity for Casa Nueva as seen from the adjacent major highway. The planted trellis and fabric shield the south and west from seasonal heat gain to improve employee comfort and energy performance. In early spring, this ‘green’ building turns lavender with Wisteria blossoms. In autumn, the vertical trellises lining the courtyard facade, planted with native grape vines, cover the building with startlingly red fall foliage. When the building is described to visitors they have been known to ask, "Do you mean the one along the highway that looks like a treehouse?"

Stormwater Management

一片长满了乡土草的生物沼泽地，流经庭院，处理和过滤雨水径流，然后注入一位艺术家创造的蓄水池中。滞洪池将雨水储存在停车场下，透水铺路减少了雨水的峰值流量。

A bio-swale, lush with native grasses, runs through the courtyard, treating and filtering storm-water runoff before feeding into an artist created cistern. A detention basin stores storm water under the parking lot, and permeable paving reduces peak storm water flow.

地区公众地方艺术委员会支持挑选一名艺术家加入设计小组。作为过去的常客，艺术家、建筑师和景观设计师最充分地利用了艺术元素，将所有的艺术投入到景观中，以提供独特的纹理和形式给标准的场地元素，如座墙、挡土墙和特殊的铺路区域。

The regional Art in Public Places Committee supported the selection of an artist to be included on the design team. As frequent past collaborators, the artist, architect and landscape architect made the most the art component, investing all of the art into the landscape to provide unique texture and form to standard site elements such as seat walls, retaining walls and special areas of paving.

Transportation

大楼沿公共交通线路的位置，包括地方和地区快车，提供了方便的通勤选择。为自行车上下班者提供的一种花园结构，用于居住和保护自行车，增加了建筑物内提供的淋浴设施。为空气污染控制车队提供了两个电动汽车充电站.

The building’s location along public transportation lines, including local and regional Express buses, provides convenient commuting options. A garden structure to house and protect bicycles augments the showers provided in the building for bicycle commuters. Two electric vehicle-charging stations are provided for Air Pollution Control fleet vehicles.

Maintenance

“疗养场”是一家毗邻的销售有机草本和堆肥茶的康复中心，它采用了部分景观，以展示其有机方法对典型合同维护服务的有效性。与其他地方相比，被收养部分的植物变得更为重要。

'Healing Grounds', an adjacent rehabilitation center in the business of propagating organic herbs and compost tea for sale, adopted a portion of the landscape to demonstrate the effectiveness of their organic methods over typical contract maintenance services. The plants in their adopted portion became conspicuously more vital than elsewhere.

这座由1800名员工组成的现有校园内的“填充”型办公大楼，创造了第一个也是唯一一个步行距离内的户外聚会空间。该项目的特点是对环境敏感的设计，在常规预算范围内实现，作为未来圣巴巴拉县所有设计和建设项目的典范。CasaNueva反映了建筑机构、空气污染控制区、县政府协会和部门的价值观和目标。提供环境管理和社会重新联系的身份。

This ‘infill’ model office building on an existing campus of 1800 employees creates the first and only outdoor gathering spaces within walking distance. The project features environmentally sensitive design, realized within a conventional budget, as a model for all future County of Santa Barbara design and construction projects. Casa Nueva reflects the values and goals of the agencies that occupy the building, the Air Pollution Control District, County Association of Governments, and Dept. of Social Services, providing an identity of environmental stewardship and social reconnection.

在卡萨纽瓦，艺术、建筑和景观元素将工作场所与自然世界结合起来，使居住者重新认识到我们的环境。在这里，节约资源并不是牺牲，而是每天从我们周围的环境中获得更多的乐趣。设计团队、客户和地方公用事业之间的协同设计过程是一部获奖的pbs纪录片的主题。

At Casa Nueva, art, architecture and landscape elements merge the workplace with the natural world to re-sensitize the occupants to our environment. Here, resource conservation is not about sacrifice; it’s actually about getting more enjoyment every day out of our surroundings. The collaborative design process between the design team, client, and local utility was the subject of an award-winning PBS documentary.

简单，负担得起，易于使用的材料，是耐用和无毒的。只要有可能，材料就会留下未完成或暴露。简单的材料包括遮阳织物面板，由#2可回收塑料与支持转台由电话杆，和未完成的地方制造混凝土砌块挡土墙飞灰含量。无毒溶液包括对所有与地面接触的木材进行ACQ处理，以取代常规压力处理，消除潜在的铬和砷地下水污染。油漆产品符合绿色密封标准的低和无VOC涂料。

Simple, affordable, and easy to use materials were used that are durable and non-toxic as well. Whenever possible, materials were left unfinished or exposed. Simple materials include shade fabric panels constructed from #2 recyclable plastic with supporting trellises made of telephone poles, and unfinished locally made concrete block retaining walls with fly ash content. Non-toxic solutions include ACQ-treatment for all wood in contact with the ground replacing conventional pressure treatment to eliminate potential chrome and arsenic groundwater contamination. Paint products meet Green Seal standards for low and no VOC paints.
