Local architecture studio Squire & Partners has created an elongated, black community centre in a park alongside the Brixton Windmill in London.
Named the Brixton Windmill Centre, the building stands in the small Windmill Gardens park in south London next to the city’s last working windmill.
Squire & Partners designed the building to complement the 200-year-old, Grade II*-listed windmill, which is still used to produce flour.
當地建築工作室Squire＆Partners在倫敦布里克斯頓風車旁邊的一個公園裡創建了一個細長的黑色社區中心。
該建築名為布里克斯頓風車中心，座落在倫敦南部小型風車花園公園內，毗鄰該市最後一座正在運轉的風車。
Squire＆Partners設計了這座建築，以補充擁有200年曆史的II級*風車的風車，該風車仍用於生產麵粉。
“The architectural aim was really to completely make the windmill comfortable,” explained Tim Gledstone, partner at Squire & Partners.
“It was always an object building by the very nature of its function,” he told Dezeen. “But what was strange to us is putting any buildings back into parkland is slightly against policy. However, this park exists because of the windmill.”
Squire＆Partners的合夥人蒂姆·格萊斯頓（Tim Gledstone）解釋說：“建築的目的實際上是使風車完全舒適。”
他告訴Dezeen：“從功能本身的角度來看，它始終是對象構建。” “但是令我們感到奇怪的是，將任何建築物放回公園都是違反政策的。但是，這個公園由於風車而存在。”
The architecture studio designed the long, single-storey building so that it doesn’t compete with the tar-sealed windmill and as a nod towards the previous buildings that surrounded the mill.
As some of these buildings were only knocked down in the 1960s, their previous locations were known to the studio and played a part in winning planning permission to build the centre in a park.
建築工作室設計了長長的單層建築，以使其與焦油密封的風車不構成競爭，並向圍繞磨坊的先前建築致敬。
由於其中一些建築物只是在1960年代才被拆除的，因此錄音棚知道了它們以前的位置，並在贏得規劃許可以在公園中建立中心方面發揮了作用。
“What was clear to us was that all the supporting buildings of the windmill from its original days were missing. It had the miller’s housing and stores, it never operated just as that building,” said Gledstone.
“We knew where the historical buildings were sited and knew from a listed-building point of view that we could argue that we were complementing the setting of this listed building with the right kind of architecture.”
格萊斯頓說：“我們清楚的是，風車從成立之初起的所有支撐建築物都丟失了。它擁有磨坊主的房屋和商店，它從未像這座建築物那樣運轉過。”
“我們知道歷史建築的位置，並從一棟受保護的建築的角度知道，我們可以辯稱我們正在用合適的建築對這棟受保護的建築進行補充。”
Both the 154-square-metre education and community centre’s colour and its materials make reference to the 19th-century windmill.
The building has a Douglas fir frame with the two end gable walls made from soot-washed bricks and black weatherboard used for the longer facades.
面積為154平方米的教育和社區中心的顏色及其材料均參考19世紀的風車。
該建築有道格拉斯冷杉框架，其兩端山牆是由煙灰磚和黑色擋風板製成，用於較長的外牆。
“This is the right kind of architecture for here, it very much complements the windmill with its robust materiality,” said Gledstone.
“It was designed to survive the test of time with its durability, but also be robust. It can be completely locked up at night, is secure and needs almost zero maintenance,” he continued.
“Each material is true to itself and performs extremely high to itself. There are no layers of maintenance added to them. But they resonate in harmony with the windmill itself.”
格萊斯頓說：“這是這裡的正確建築，它以堅固的材料非常補充了風車。”
他繼續說：“它的設計經久耐用，但經久耐用，而且堅固耐用。它可以在夜間完全鎖定，安全並且幾乎需要零維護。”
“每種材料對自身都是真實的，並且對自身俱有極高的性能。它們沒有添加任何維護層。但是它們與風車本身產生了共鳴。”
Slatted-timber screens on rollers protect glass doors that open into the community centre’s central flexible space.
Squire & Partners designed a series of cupboards on rollers than can be used for storage and to divide up the space that will be used by school and community groups as well as a visitor centre.
Enclosed rooms are located at each end of central space with a kitchen and office space for the charity that runs the windmill – Friends of Windmill Gardens – at one end, and a grain store, cycle parking and toilets at the other.
“It’s a series of rooms that can come together, they can act as one or they can break down into a series of classrooms and work for every single generation,” said Gledstone.
“It’s for little toddlers coming to the playground and learning about windmills and people coming home from work and booking themselves into baking classes and learning about full-cycle sustainable foods and whole-grain wheats.”
滾筒上的木條百葉窗保護著通向社區中心中央靈活空間的玻璃門。
Squire＆Partners在滾輪上設計了一系列櫥櫃，這些櫥櫃可用於存放並分配學校，社區團體以及訪客中心將要使用的空間。
封閉的房間位於中央空間的每一端，一間廚房和辦公空間供慈善機構使用，該慈善機構經營風車–風車花園之友–一端，而穀物商店，自行車停車場和廁所則位於另一端。
格萊斯頓說：“這是一系列可以匯聚在一起的房間，它們可以充當一個房間，也可以分解成一系列教室，為每一代人工作。”
“這是給蹣跚學步的孩子們去操場上學習風車，人們下班回家並預約烘焙課程，學習全週期可持續食品和全麥小麥。”
Construction of the community centre was funded by Lambeth Council as the charity had outgrown a shared building in the park and needed a dedicated space for events and to help fund the upkeep of the windmill.
“It’s a Grade-II*-listed building, so it’s quite a serious burden on the community and therefore a burden on the members who have to upkeep it. Obviously, it’s a criminal offence not to upkeep a listed building,” explained Gledstone.
“The lottery funds got it quite a long way when they got it fully refurbished, but it needs an ongoing programme to help it keep going in terms of funding its upkeep.”
社區中心的建設由蘭貝斯委員會（Lambeth Council）資助，因為該慈善機構已經超出了公園中的共享建築，並且需要專門的活動空間來幫助維護風車。
格萊斯頓說：“這是一棟被列為II級*的建築，因此對社區來說是一個沉重的負擔，因此也給必須對其進行維護的成員造成了負擔。顯然，不對所維護的建築進行維護屬於刑事犯罪。”
“彩票基金在完全翻新時已經走了很長一段路，但是它需要一個持續的計劃來幫助它在維持保養方面繼續前進。”
Squire & Partners, which is based nearby, carried out the planning application pro bono, to allow the project to gain funding from the local council.
“They said – ‘look, we’ve got a chicken and egg problem. The funding has been put aside, but the funding won’t be released until it’s got planning, but planning can’t happen as no one can afford to pay for it’ – so at that stage we volunteered to donate our time to help get the application done,” added Gledstone.
附近的Squire＆Partners進行了規劃應用程序無償運作，以使該項目能夠從當地議會獲得資金。
“他們說–’看，我們遇到了一個雞蛋問題。資金已經被擱置了，但是直到有計劃的時候資金才被釋放，但是由於沒有人負擔得起，計劃無法進行 為此，我們在這個階段自願捐出時間來幫助完成申請。” Gledstone補充道。
Brixton-based Squire & Partners was founded in 1976 by Michael Squire. Last year, the studio designed a community agriculture school from locally sourced materials including mud bricks, cassava render, and bamboo screens in Cambodia.
