位于加拿大基洛纳市中心的Benchlands项目是一个新开发的综合体，它的功能涵盖办公、居住、学习。整个项目包含三座塔楼和一座裙楼。每座塔楼都采用不同的表达方式以反映塔楼内部不同的空间功能，同时，项目设计将建筑本身与所在城市——基洛纳及周围环境相结合，创造出独特的城市风貌。

Our ‘Benchlands’ proposal is for a new development which combines working, living and learning functions to create a new form of mixed-use development in the heart of downtown Kelowna.

The development features three towers and a plinth. Each tower features a varied expression, which reflects the different internal functional zones within the plan, but also create a distinct urban character, linking the building’s identity back to the environment of Kelowna and the surroundings.

UNStudio 和 DIALOG 在基洛纳多伊尔大道 550 号合作设计的综合体项目在初期就制定了一个整合各专业的设计方案。在设计过程中，融入了景观、室内、照明和导视标识等设计理念。

The early collaboration between UNStudio and DIALOG for this mixed-use development at 550 Doyle Avenue in Kelowna has led us to create a fully integrated design, incorporating landscape, interior, lighting and wayfinding ideas within an all-encompassing design.

A Plinth Inspired by Nature

脱胎于裙楼静态模型，Benchlands的裙楼从基洛纳附近的欧肯纳根湖、山谷，以及令人叹为观止的悬崖峭壁等自然环境中汲取三维设计灵感。那里有更新世晚期， 冰川漂移形成的地幔，它覆盖着底层基岩。

The ‘Benchlands’ departs from the static plinth model by taking 3-dimensional inspiration from nature at its best: the Okanagan Lake and Valley and its incredible cliffs that have accumulated at the end of Pleistocene, where a widespread mantle of glacial drift covers the underlying bedrock.

裙楼设有平台和挑高露台，是一个住户、上班族和学术人员都可以共享的空间。设计从视觉和实际使用上都流畅连接各个功能区域。

The programming of the plinth with its spatial plateaus and overhangs enables fluid links, visual connections and effective locating of the functions that are all shared by academic, residential and office users.

裙楼与塔楼的组合关系

三座塔楼的裙楼犹如大自然中的景观“基座”， 激发人们在开放的角落和相对封闭区域之间寻觅到放松和休闲的场合。 不同塔楼的裙楼底层空间亦有所差异，形成各自的身份特征，隐含他们对应的群体归属。同时，底部公共空间联通上部塔楼。

The design language of the landscaped plinth that is linked to the three towers on the site, serves as inspiration for the playfulness between completely open corners and more enclosed areas. The variation at ground level creates different addresses for each of the distinct towers, reflecting their varied ownership while connecting them on the upper levels through the public plinth and common ground.

综合体与街道关系 

组合的单一裙楼可以有效地使用地面空间与地下停车场，同时还创造了一幅整体景观，引导人们走进这一新开发的项目，感受基洛纳城市细致的肌理。

The combined, single podium also allows for efficient use of above and below ground parking, while also creating an integral landscape that guides people towards the development and creates pedestrian connections within the finer grain of the city of Kelowna.

Fresh Approach to Mixed-Use

我们采用了一种新的方法来思考综合体项目的功能业态、密度、视觉连接、遮阳研究和平面布局。可持续发展战略被大量考虑在项目设计的各个方面和环节，包括材料、立面设计、通风和照明等。然而，最重点的是，设计通过创建一个健康、充满活力的社区来实现社会可持续性的概念。

A fresh approach to mixed-use is taken by re-envisioning the density of the programme on site, the visual connections, shading studies and plan layouts. Substantial consideration was given to the sustainable strategies, ranging from the buildings’ positioning, materiality, facade design, ventilation and lighting. However, most importantly, the concept of social sustainability is addressed through the creation of a healthy vibrant community.

项目体量

不列颠哥伦比亚大学健康研究项目，连同办公、住宅、商业、庭院和露台这些公共设施，提升了人们居住、工作和到访 Doyle大街550号 的品质。

The UBC academic health programme, along with the office, residential, commercial, courtyard and terrace programmes, all serve as common facilities, upgrading the leisure activities of the people living, working and visiting 550 Doyle
