架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于西北象限的普利茅斯市中心以北。这是西北象限与德里福德医院未来计划整合的第一阶段。德里福德医院是西南地区最大、最重要的医院之一。Bircham公园Transferium改善了病人和工作人员到达时的体验。它移走了大部分在一级停车，以腾出土地，以进一步发展阶段的总体规划，并提供重要的设施给大约11，000名工作人员和访客，他们每天通过医院。

Text description provided by the architects. The project lies north of Plymouth city centre located in North West Quadrant. It is the first phase of the integration of the North West Quadrant with the future plans for Derriford Hospital. Derriford Hospital is one of the largest and most important hospitals in the Southwest. The Bircham Park Transferium improves the patient’s and staff’s experience on arrival. It removes the majority of on-grade parking to release land for further development phases of the masterplan and also delivers important facilities to the approximately 11,000 staff and visitors that move through the Hospital every day.

设计与规划

Design and Layout

我们称它为“Transium”(荷兰语)，因为它不仅仅是一个停车场。这是一座混合建筑，它探索了两种明显矛盾的操作的可能性，形成了一种新的组合：一种是办公室和零售建筑，具有停车场建筑的效用，形成一种紧凑的类型。这提供了持续的活动，使它成为一个全职的工作大楼。该大楼是入口和游客中心的一部分，可以为工作人员和候诊病人或亲属提供便利、服务和便利，并为600辆汽车创造一个安全的停车环境。

We have called it a ‘transferium’ (dutch word) because it is more than a car park. This is a hybrid building that explores the possibilities of two types of apparently contradictory operations into a new combination; an office and retail building with the utility of a car park building to form a compact typology. This provides constant activity, making it a full-time working building. The building forms part of the entrance and visitor hub that can deliver convenience, services and amenities to staff and waiting patients or relatives as well as creating a safe parking environment for 600 cars.

 Axonometric

明显的地形及其南面驱动的设计和布局的转移，因为水平的重大变化导致了一系列的限制布局和机会，以减少建筑物的体积。这些限制因素包括向西的高压天然气总管道，以及该地点现有的陡峭水平限制了足迹的大小。自然坡地允许较密集的地块，如“转移”在坡底，低密度，主要是住宅地块在坡顶。这为所有人提供了长远的视角，并减少了更广泛领域的更大发展的影响。

The pronounced topography with its southerly aspect drove the design and layout of the Transferium as the significant change in levels led to a series of constraints in layout and opportunities to reduce the bulk of the building. The constraints that include the high-pressure gas main to the west, and the existing steep levels of the site restrict the size of the footprint. The natural slope allowed the more densely developed plots such as the ‘Transferium’ to be at the bottom of the slope and the low-density predominantly residential plots to be at the top of the slope. This allows long views for all and lessens the impact of larger development across the wider area.

斜坡也推动了整体的类型学设计。为了降低挖掘成本，停车场是一种剪刀布局，沿着地形爬山。这就允许了双重入口的可能性；主要入口在Morlaix大道的南部，加上一个管理套房，另一个在新的商业街的北部。这提供了不同水平的汽车，并随后避免拥堵。

The slope also drives the overall typological design. To reduce the cost of excavation the car park is a scissor layout that climbs up the hill following the topography. This allows for the possibility of dual entrances; the main one being at the south on Morlaix Drive, combined with a management suite, and the other being at the north on the new High Street. This delivers cars at different levels and subsequently avoiding congestion.

在不可能进行正面活动的地方，有高质量的绿色墙和可渗透的高地。大量的停车场位于场地的底部。这“隐藏”了山谷里6层的停车场。办公室、零售、食品和饮料都位于地势最平坦的地点的顶端。这在一条新的公共街道上呈现出一个更简朴的3层楼。在东北角有一个有玻璃的大堂空间，可进入办公室和停车场，并具有战略位置，可直接从医院进入，到达时可明确定位。

Where active frontage is not possible, there is high quality green walls and permeable elevations. The large amount of car parking is located at the bottom of the site. This ‘hides’ the 6 storeys of car parking in the valley. The offices, retail, and food and beverage are located at the top of the site where the topography is at its flattest. This presents a more modest 3 storeys onto a new public street. A glazed lobby space on the north-eastern corner gives access to offices and car park and is strategically located to offer direct access from the hospital and clear orientation when arriving.

外观和比例

Appearance and Scale

这座大楼位于邻近医院的高度之下。通过将楼层组合成两对来减少质量，这些步骤是分段的，并在计划中移动以适应尴尬场地的斜坡。这样做，他们创造了人行道，梯田和住所周围的地区。其中一个优势层向北和西延伸，形成底层商店和咖啡馆.这激活了主要街道，带领行人到Outlook Terace，一个阳光明媚的公共观景台俯瞰Bircham山谷当地自然保护区和一个未来的公园空间。分割建筑质量，进一步减少与未来阶段相结合的质量。

The building sits below the height of the adjacent hospital. The mass is reduced by grouping floors into pairs, These step in section and shift in plan to accommodate the slopes of the awkward site. In doing so, they create walkways, terraces and areas of shelter around the building. One dominant level extends north and west to form ground-floor shops and cafes. This activates the main street, leading pedestrians to Outlook Terrace, a sunny public belvedere overlooking Bircham Valley local nature reserve and a future park space. splits the building mass further reducing the mass where it will interface with future phases.

随后，它的出现以地形和分层形式作为一系列不同的“景观”处理的起点；一个森林状的格子，由金属、树干和常春藤组成。这座建筑的底座从高街向南移动到莫莱克斯大道。在这里，绿色立面优化种植的可能性和环境机会。常春藤种在不锈钢丝的格子上。这些在夏季提供了太阳的保护，在冬天允许太阳穿透，并有助于空气的对流冷却。商业和零售空间覆盖铝和玻璃幕墙，其中包括照明和标志。离开街道，这变成了森林般的点阵粉末涂层金属棒。定义了图形和颜色，以便在入口处和停车场的深平面周围给出清晰的方向。

Subsequently its appearance takes the topographical and layered form as a starting point for a series of differentiated ‘landscape’ treatments; a forest-like lattice, of metal, tree trunks and ivy. The base of the building emerges as one moves from the High Street south to Morlaix Drive. Here a green facade optimises the planting possibilities and environmental opportunities. Ivy is planted that climb over a lattice of stainless steel wires. These provide protection from the sun in summer, allow solar penetration in winter, and help in the convection cooling of air. The commercial and retail spaces are clad in a curtain wall of aluminium and glass that incorporates lighting and signage. Moving away from the street this transforms into the forest-like lattice of powder-coated metal bars. Graphics and colour were defined to give clear orientation at entry points and around the deep plan of the car park

上层是由不同密度的松木制成的木屏风，其外观呈起伏状。屋顶的中部种植低维护性、不可接近的草本植物和苔藓，以提供丰富多样的野生动物资源，并有助于保水、吸收二氧化碳和径流。Transferium法庭是Outlook平台下西面的自然斜坡景观，将在未来阶段实施。

The upper level is a wooden screen made of pine logs with varying degrees of density to give an undulating appearance. The middle section of the roof is planted with low maintenance, non-accessible grasses and mosses to provide a rich and diverse wildlife resource and aid water retention, absorption of CO2 and runoff. The Transferium Court is the natural sloping landscape on the western façade below the Outlook Terrace and is to be implemented at a future phase.
