Huis van Albrandswaard是Albrandswaard市的一座新办公楼。该建筑由Gortemaker Algra Feenstra建筑师设计，在2018年的建筑师评选过程中，他们以醒目的圆形设计令人信服地脱颖而出。居民、政治家和公务员在这座新楼里都要感到宾至如归，它还将与市政厅一起容纳其他几个部门，如区队、Albrandswaard福祉基金会、RTV Albrandswaard、也可作为活动空间的多功能议会厅，以及隔壁体育馆的运动食堂。

The Huis van Albrandswaard is a new office building for the municipality of Albrandswaard. The building was designed by Gortemaker Algra Feenstra architects, after convincingly coming out on top with their eye-catching round design at the architect selection process in 2018. Residents, politicians, and civil servants have to feel welcome in this new building, which will also house several other departments alongside the town hall, such as the district team, the Albrandswaard Well-being Foundation, RTV Albrandswaard, the multifunctional council chamber which can also be used as a space for events, as well as the sports cafeteria of the gym next door.

一座为Albrandswaard所有公民服务的新建筑。每个人都必须在某些时候去市政厅办理诸如驾驶执照或护照之类的事情，但这座建筑也提供了在没有任何议会会议进行时举办展览、阅读或表演的机会。由于透明的布局，游客可以看到在这座大楼里工作的公务员和政治家。公务员的食堂与连接体育馆的体育食堂合并在一起。这鼓励了议会成员和公民之间更多的互动。

A new building for all citizens of Albrandswaard. Everyone has to go to the town hall at some point for things like a driver’s license or a passport, but this building also offers the opportunity to host exhibitions, readings, or performances when there aren’t any council meetings going on. The civil servants and politicians that work in this building are visible to visitors due to the transparent layout. The cafeteria for the civil servants is merged with the sports cafeteria of the connecting gym. This encourages more interaction between council members and citizens.

议会厅、公共服务台、工作站和健身房，都是连接在一起的。通过主入口后，你会发现自己处于一个有公共办公桌的开放区域。从这里你可以看到议会厅的美景，其中的地板要低一米。通过木制的看台，你可以下到那一层。公务员的工作岗位位于议会厅周围，还有市长和议员的工作岗位。议事厅本身与体育/员工食堂相连，并在同一楼层。从这里，你可以参加预先存在的健身房的活动。体育馆的看台也在这一层，这意味着你可以很容易地在活动之间来回走动，拿点小吃。

Council chamber, public desk, work stations, and gym, all connected. After passing through the main entrance you’ll find yourself in an open area with public desks. From here you’ll have a nice view of the council chamber, of which the floor is one metre lower. Through the wooden stands, you can descend to that level. The civil servants’ work stations are situated around the council chamber, as well as the work stations of the mayor and the council members. The council chamber itself is connected to and on the same level as the sports/employee cafeteria. From here you can take part in activities in the pre-existing gym. The stands of the gym are at this same level as well, meaning you can easily go back and forth to grab a snack in between the action.

一个圆形的建筑，全方位的，紧凑的。作为设计师，我们经常被问到 “为什么是圆形”？这有三个原因：一个圆形的建筑是紧凑的，一切都在附近。建筑是全方位的，意味着它没有正面或背面。它在每个方向上都是开放和透明的，透明是市政府作为一个组织所希望辐射的。最后，这个位置极其适合圆形建筑，因为你可以从各个角度看到它。

A round building, omni-sided and compact. Being designers, we are often asked ‘why round’? There are three reasons for this: a round building is compact, everything is close by. The building is omni-sided, meaning it has no front or backside. It’s open and transparent in every direction, with transparency being what the municipality wants to radiate as an organisation. And finally, the location is extremely suitable for a round building, because you can see it from every angle.

持久的建筑是设计的主要焦点。因为建筑是圆形的，它的周长比相同面积的方形建筑要小。节约能源从建筑形状开始，因为你不需要的能源是最耐用的能源类型。由于其圆形，该建筑有一个紧凑的外体，这意味着其表面积几乎没有冷却。
在建筑的南侧，你会发现有遮阳篷和悬空的屋檐，为夏季的暖阳提供保护，同时也有足够的高度让冬季的低太阳通过。这意味着该建筑在夏季需要较少的冷却，在冬季需要较少的加热。除此之外，整个屋顶都被太阳能电池板覆盖，这意味着该建筑很容易通过新的BENG（近乎能源中立的建筑），甚至完全是能源中立的。

Durable building as the main focus of the design. Because the building is round, it has a smaller circumference than a square building with the same surface area. Saving energy starts with the building shape because the energy you don’t need is the most durable type of energy. The building has a compact outer hull due to its round shape, meaning its surface area barely cools off.
At the south side of the building, you’ll find awnings and overhanging eaves, offering protection from the warm summer sun while also being high enough to let through the low winter sun. This means the building requires less cooling in the summer and less heating in the winter. On top of that, the entire roof is covered with solar panels, which means the building easily passes the new BENG (Nearly Energy Neutral Building) and is even completely energy neutral.
