哥伦比亚大厦支持波特兰市环境服务局。11640平方英尺的建筑容纳了工作空间、访客接待区和公共会议空间,不仅支持污水处理设施的工程部门,而且作为沉浸式教育体验,所有这些都集成在一个可持续的景观中。


The Columbia Building supports the City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services. Housing workspace, a visitor reception area, and public meeting spaces, the 11,640-square-foot building not only supports the engineering department of the wastewater treatment facility but also functions as an immersive educational experience, all integrated within a sustainable landscape.

新的单层建筑采用了7个折叠式现浇混凝土屋顶模板,将雨水通过种植的屋顶导入,雨水沿着护堤排入一个可见的收集系统,通向哥伦比亚河。该项目在一个校园内完成了三个独特的目标:创造一个充满活力和高效的工作空间;清洁的现场雨水过滤;以及一个动态的建筑,激发了关于该地区流域和河流健康的对话。


The new single-story building features seven folded cast-in-place concrete roof forms that channel stormwater through a planted roof, which drains along the berms into a visible collection system that leads to the Columbia River. The project accomplished three unique objectives in one single campus site: the creation of a vibrant and efficient workspace; clean on-site stormwater filtration; and a dynamic building that stimulates conversation about the health of the region’s watershed and rivers.

透明的北面立面将注意力集中到中央和部分封闭的公共区域,以及建筑周围的栖息地。锯齿形的幕墙具有可操作的空气循环通风口,使室内空间能够自然通风。镜面玻璃反射并折射出公共空间的光线,使建筑与景观融为一体。该建筑获得了LEED金级认证。


The transparent north facade focuses attention towards a central and partially enclosed Commons area, as well as to the habitat that surrounds the building. The serrated curtain wall features operable air circulation vents which enables the interior spaces to be natural ventilated. Mirrored glass reflects and refracts light in the Commons, merging the building into the landscape. The building is LEED Gold certified.
