黑熊赌场位于明尼苏达州北部，位于德卢斯西南半小时，明尼阿波利斯以北两个小时。黑熊是作为明尼苏达州北岸旅游和度假地区一部分而存在的众多度假胜地之一。由于乘客数量和社区需求的增加，奥吉布韦的Du Lac乐队试图将现有的黑熊赌场和酒店变成一个目的地度假胜地。扩建的45万SF度假村设施增加了以下功能(更大的赌场、新的250间客房酒店、停车坡道、活动中心、餐饮场所和零售商店)。

The Black Bear Casino Resort is located in Northern Minnesota about a half hour southwest of Duluth and two hours north of Minneapolis. Black Bear is one of the many resort and vacation properties that exist as part of the travel and vacation area known as the North shore of Minnesota. Due to increased patronage and community need, the Fond du Lac band of Ojibwe sought to turn the existing Black Bear casino and hotel into a destination resort. The expanded 450,000 SF resort facility added the following features (larger casino, new 250 room hotel, parking ramp, event center, food venues, and retail shop).

这一翻修和扩建的地点是在一个三角形的财产，它的两侧被保护湿地和第三个与州际公路的边界。这项扩建工程是分阶段进行的，目的是让游戏设施在施工期间保持开放状态，其目的是利用林地和湿地的景观，提供日夜引人入胜的进入体验，使自己能够利用不同类型的日光，并分解其规模，以提高用户体验。该项目还遵循了奥吉布韦管理土地的任务，确保开发工作保护周围的湿地和森林。

The site for this renovation and expansion was positioned on a triangular property that is bounded on two sides by protected wetlands and on the third by the Interstate. The expansion, which was phased to allow the gaming facility to remain open during construction, was organized to take advantage of the views to the woodlands and wetlands, present a compelling entry experience both day and night, orient itself to take advantage of different kinds of daylight, and breakdown its scale to enhance the user experience. The project also followed the Ojibwe mandate for stewardship of the land making sure the development protected the surrounding wetlands and forests.

北岸度假胜地市场充斥着自然主题的建筑。黑熊重新审视了北岸，考察了它的纹理、颜色和图案，以展现这个经典度假胜地的现代风格。这些图案和纹理是在日光使用的发展过程中以惊人的方式推动的。

The North shore resort market is saturated with nature themed structures. Black Bear took a fresh look at the north shore, examining its textures, colors, and patterns in order to deliver a modern take on this classic resort theme. These patterns and textures were pushed in a phenomenal way in the development of the use of daylight.

这种对日光的创新利用最好地体现在公共区域的天花板上。在这些地区，半透明材料被用来捕捉自然光和人造光，并提供一种柔和的发光，在一天的过程中发生变化。沿周边的大型发光窗口具有双重功能，即向室内空间扩散日光和接收彩色LED灯；晚上形成一系列动态广告牌。

This innovative use of daylight is best demonstrated in the public area ceilings. In these areas translucent materials are used to capture both natural and artificial light and provide a soft glow that changes over the course of the day. Large glowing windows along the perimeter serve a dual purpose of diffusing daylight for the interior spaces and receiving colored LED light; forming a series of kinetic billboards in the evening.

在室内设计中，用户的舒适度是一个驱动因素。通过在游戏地板上使用加压提升地板系统，在地板水平提供洁净的回火空气，并将空气轻轻推到天花板上，从而大大改善了空间的空气质量。

User comfort was a driving factor in the interior design. By the use of a pressurized raised floor system in the gaming floor the air quality of the space is greatly improved by providing clean tempered air at the floor level and the gently pushing air to the ceiling.
