溫哥華濱海地區建造的聚碳酸酯船塢
Polycarbonate Dock Building by Michael Green Architecture glows on Vancouver beachfront
溫哥華Michael Green Architecture事務所設計建造了一座船塢，用於存放賽艇和帆船，同時也對海面活動進行監控，該建築有著半透明的外立面和滑動的車庫門。
這座船塢是當地建築事務所專門為溫哥華皇家遊艇俱樂部（Royal Vancouver Yacht Club）而建造的，其造價並不高。
Vancouver firm Michael Green Architecture has built a boathouse for storing racing shells and sails and monitoring maritime activity, with translucent walls and garage doors.
The Dock Building was built for the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club on a modest budget by the local architecture studio.
這座私人娛樂設施由兩個體量連接而成，從而形成不規則的矩形，建築的屋頂分別從兩側向內傾斜。
建築運用了常見的工業材料。大部分的外立面都包裹著白色豎向肌理面板，從而形成統一的韻律。
The private recreational facility is formed of two connected masses, joined to create an irregular rectangular shape and with roofs that slope in opposite directions.
Industrial materials were used for the construction and relate to those commonly found in nautical design. A majority of the facility is wrapped in white standing-seam panels, creating a uniform aesthetic.
建築的一側是半透明聚碳酸酯牆面，白天陽光透過牆面進入室內，而晚上內部的燈光向外發散，建築看上去如同一座透明的燈箱。
而在另一側，車庫滑動門面向水岸打開，便於船隻的出入。
On one side is a translucent polycarbonate wall, which brings sunlight in during the daytime and glows at night.
On the other, garage doors open up to the waterfront, allowing boats to be brought in and out of the water more easily.
建築師說：“建築的體量十分簡單，由兩個矩形相交而成，形成陸地與海面上的兩座巨型燈籠。”
船塢位於溫哥華Jericho海灘，這片海灘以其迷人的家庭別墅以及其俯瞰城市景觀的視野而聞名。
"The massing is simple," said the firm. "Two intersecting wedge volumes mirror each other to create a lantern to the sea and a lantern to the land."
The Dock Building is situated on Vancouver's Jericho Beach, an area known for its charming family homes and prime sandy beach overlooking the city's mountains.
由於建築靠近水域，因此需要強大的結構基礎系統。建築師設置了一系列木樁，而平臺與牆體則通過木樑來承重。
建築師說：“該項目的結構基礎花費了至少一半的費用，這就減少了項目其他部分的預算，同時這座建築對當地社區又有著特殊的含義，這些對設計團隊來說都是巨大的挑戰。”
Because the building sits close to the waterfront, providing a strong structural foundation was a major design challenge. To construct the facility, a series of glulam engineered wood posts set deep into the ground, while timber beams infill decking and walls.
"Almost half of the project budget went to the foundation and piles, leaving the design team with the challenge of meeting the project's functional needs while delivering something more meaningful to the community," said the firm.
建築內部運用了耐磨且便於拆卸的膠合面板，這種材質在此類建築中運用較多。另外，在建築內的主要流線中則運用的是混凝土地板。
建築師說：“該項目的功能需求和緊張的預算，以及項目對場地的呼應等要求，讓我們在設計的過程中進行了層層簡化，但是仍然突出了這座建造於半世紀之前的濱海工業建築。”
Interiors surfaces are mostly plywood, which is a common material used in sail lofts because it is hard-wearing, and also easily replaceable. Concrete floors are durable to moisture and heavy traffic.
"The project's practical working needs, very modest budget, and prominent siting required a simple solution that honoured the cannery and industrial heritage of waterfront buildings that were once found on the site a half-century before," said Michael Green Architecture.
建築中還包含有衛生間、浴室、辦公室。深色的儲藏室與整體的亮色形成對比。另外建築師還為教學和工作坊設計了專屬用房。
當進行內部管理等水上活動時，使用者可以將窗戶關上。辦公室上方的木製屏風能夠遮擋機械系統，同時門框的凹槽可以用於懸掛門簾。
Washrooms, showers and offices are all included in the building. A locker room with black accents contrasts with overall lightness of the project. Additional rooms serve as instruction spaces and for hosting workshops.
Windows enclose offices for visibility when managing the docks and waterfront activity. A wood screen above the offices hides the mechanical systems, while a knife-edge gutter provides an overhang for the doors.
其他的船塢建築還有由Weiss Architecture事務所設計的深色木製建築，其體量位於一個巨型底座面板之上，還有由Snøhetta建築事務所完成的挪威門廊式船塢修復項目，該項目甚至還放置有簡易床，另外則是由Studio Gang Architects設計的斜角屋頂項目，建築師在項目中結合了划船者的運動節奏感。
