美國BLUR Workshop建築師事務所-美國The Lumberyard

The Lumberyard on St. Johns Island is a mixed-use project consisting of a series of connected premanufactured structures. It is situated directly across from the Cruz Bay ferry port on a site that was once home to the islands main lumber supply facility. The need for the project came after a series of hurricanes hit the Caribbean and devastated many structures.

Given the shortage of trained and skilled labor existing in the islands the usage of prefabricated modules became appealing as an economical and practical solution to ensure the final delivered project is of the highest quality and built in the shortest amount of time.

Programmatically, the projects consist of 40 apartment units, a small fresh food grocery store, a restaurant, a bar/lounge, a coffee shop, small retail shops and makers spaces, and a coworking shared office prototype. The elevator shaft wall will be doubled as a climbing wall to be used in conjunction with a boutique gym.

The site transitions 20’ in elevation and sits within a hillside that slopes steeply up from the edge of the small urban district of Cruz Bay into the very lush forests of one of the mountains in the Virgin Islands US National Park.

The design introduces a variety of commercial and social activities into a complex that is designed to accomplish multiple goals. The views from the site are as pretty as can be found on earth, and the layout takes advantage of these views across the straight to St. Thomas from multiple locations and during different activities.

The mix of activities are anticipated to attract both locals and tourists with intimate spaces intended to encourage interaction. The massing is opened up to allow guests to explore through a multitude of different paths. The opened nature of the massing permits the prevailing winds to move through the collection of buildings and allows the lush tropical landscape to become intertwined both through the spaces and upon the buildings.

Monumental and intimate trellises while providing shade from the intense sun, allow dappled sunlight to filter down into each of the public spaces. Glass walls, large operable glass doors, terraces, balconies, and veranda all connect users to the beautiful climate and views.

Overall, the design for The Lumberyard aspires to create a playful, intriguing and inviting community space where the user has something new and exciting to explore at every corner.

聖約翰島的木材場是一個綜合用途的建設項目，由一系列相連的預製結構組成。這個項目位於克魯茲灣渡輪碼頭對面，原本是島上主要的木材供應設施所在。隨著多次颶風襲擊加勒比海，摧毀了許多建築物，這個需求變得越來越迫切。

由於島上缺乏訓練有素的熟練勞動力，預製模組作為一種經濟實用的解決方案，變得非常吸引人，旨在確保項目的高品質與最短建設時間。

從規劃角度來看，這個項目包括40個公寓單元、一家小型生鮮食品雜貨店、一家餐廳、一家酒吧/酒廊、一家咖啡店、小型零售店和創客空間，以及一個共享辦公室原型。電梯井壁將設計成攀岩牆，與精品健身房結合使用。

該場地位於20英尺的海拔高度，坐落於山坡中，從克魯茲灣小城區的邊緣向上延展，直達美國維爾京群島國家公園的茂密森林。

設計旨在將各種商業和社會活動匯集於一個多功能的綜合體中。從這個地點所見的景色被譽為地球上最美麗的之一，佈局充分利用了從多個位置和活動期間可以直達聖托馬斯的壯麗景觀。

這些活動通過旨在促進互動的私密空間吸引當地人和遊客。開放的體積設計使得客人可以探索多條不同的路徑，並允許盛行的風穿過建築物群，同時熱帶綠意與空間和建築物交織在一起。

大面積的格子設計在遮擋強烈陽光的同時，允許斑駁的陽光滲透到每個公共空間。玻璃牆、可操作的大型玻璃門、露台、陽台等設施將使用者與迷人的氣候和景觀連接起來。

總的來說，The Lumberyard 的設計致力於創造一個有趣且富有吸引力的社群空間，讓每個角落都充滿探索的樂趣和令人興奮的發現。
