架构师提供的文本描述。据估计，每年维多利亚州道路上20%的死亡原因是驾驶员疲劳。针对这一问题，维多利亚州公路公司制定了一项维多利亚州休憩区战略，旨在通过采取全面、战略性的方法，在维多利亚州的主要道路上提供休息区，以减少疲劳相关事故。这一战略的一个关键目标是提供有趣和吸引人的建筑，鼓励司机停车和休养-在功利的功能之外创造有趣的场所，为人们提供吃饭和儿童玩耍的场所。

Text description provided by the architects. It is estimated that driver fatigue is a factor in 20% of deaths on Victoria’s roads each year. In response to this VicRoads has developed a Victorian Rest Area Strategy which aims to reduce fatigue-related incidents by taking a holistic, strategic approach to the provision of rest areas across Victoria’s major roads. A key objective of this strategy is to provide interesting and engaging architecture to encourage drivers to stop and recuperate - to create places of interest beyond their utilitarian functions, with areas for people to eat and for children to play.

澳大利亚境内的休息地区有着悠久而丰富的历史。这些地方标志着旅程中的一个点，一个停下来的地方，一个休息的地方。他们是公路旅行精神的重要组成部分。

There is a long and rich history of the rest area within Australia. These places mark a point in a journey, a place for pausing, and a place for rest. They are an important part of the road trip psyche.

虽然从根本上讲是功利主义的，但我们认为这些建筑是重要的民用建筑，能够产生多种解读和联想。在接近休息区建筑的轮廓，让人想起一个市民钟楼或教堂尖顶。设置在高速公路景观和从远处阅读，他们的规模是欺骗性的，看上去像奇怪的折叠式抛开道路的动脉。然而，当一个人走得更近时，这座8米高、发光的玻璃塔就成了标志性和大胆的建筑。室内空间五彩缤纷、生机勃勃，提供了一种更亲密、更触觉的建筑体验。

While fundamentally utilitarian, we consider these buildings to be important civic structures that are able to engender multiple readings and associations. On approach the rest area structure’s silhouette is reminiscent of a civic clock tower or a church spire. Set within the freeway landscape and read from afar, their scale is deceptive, appearing as odd follies cast aside from the roadway artery. As one moves closer however, the eight metre high, glowing glass towers become iconic and bold. Inside, the spaces are colourful and vibrant, providing a more intimate and tactile experience of the buildings.

这个项目把“普通”，一个高速公路休息区和厕所块，提升为标志性。它背离了关于这种设施应该是什么样子的先入为主的想法，而是庆祝一种嬉戏和不同的感觉。新的建筑为他们的场地提供了强烈的认同感和场所感，提供了一个与重复道路清晰的区别点，一个可以暂停的地方。

This project elevates “the ordinary”, a freeway rest area and toilet block, to the iconic. It departs from pre-conceived ideas of what this type of facility should look like and celebrates instead a sense of playfulness and difference. The new buildings provide a strong identity and sense of place to their site, providing a clear point of differentiation from the repetition of the road, a place to pause.

整个休息区的设施都被切断了。所有的电源来自位于汽车端口结构上方的光伏电池，为水泵和发电机提供照明和电力。虽然有备用水管连接，但一系列地下混凝土水箱储存从屋顶收集的水，以满足厕所蓄水池和手盆的需要。

This entire rest area facility is off the grid. All power is generated from PV cells located above the car port structure, providing lighting and power for pumps and generators. While there is a backup mains water connection, a series of underground concrete tanks store water collected from the roofs to feed the toilet cisterns and hand basins.

预制混凝土烟囱结构作为设备的自然通风，不需要机械通风。同样，预制墙内的缝隙有助于气流流动。

The precast concrete chimney structures serve as natural ventilation for the facility eliminating the need for mechanical ventilation. Similarly, slots within the precast walls assist with airflow.

还必须使用现场化粪池处理，因为现场没有下水道，这反过来又为景观灌溉的地下分配系统提供经过处理的水。

An onsite septic treatment also had to be used as there was no mains sewer to the site, which in turn provides treated water for a sub surface distribution system for landscape irrigation.

综合景观设计提出了一个简单的处理战略位置的桉树，以提供一个人的规模的建筑，更重要的是，遮阳用户。

The integrated landscape design proposes a simple treatment of strategically located Eucalypts to provide a human scale to the buildings and more importantly shade for the users.

材料已被选择固有的自然光洁度。低维护是这些设施的一个重要问题，通常需要定期重新油漆或应用的表面是不允许的。天然成品混凝土完全符合这一要求，在整个过程中得到了广泛的应用。

Materials have been selected inherent natural finish. Low maintenance is an important issue in these facilities and generally surfaces that require regular re-painting or application are discouraged. Natural finished concrete meets this requirement perfectly and has been utilised extensively throughout.
