标志性的Puffing Billy铁路是一个备受喜爱的旅游景点,位于墨尔本东部40公里的丹顿农山脉内。翡翠湖公园是一个风景优美的目的地,位于铁路的中心位置。

The iconic Puffing Billy Railway is a much-loved tourist attraction located within the Dandenong Ranges, 40 kilometres east of Melbourne. Emerald Lake Park is a scenic destination for many, centrally located on the railway.

人们认识到这一站铁路的重要性,决定建造一个新的发现中心,包括一个咖啡馆、商业厨房、游客信息服务、翻译、功能室、员工办公室、零售、教育设施和便利设施。该项目将火车爱好者和当地公园的游客聚集在一起,创造了一个独特的旅游设施,将该地的许多用户聚集在一个单一但复杂的建筑中。

The importance of this stop on the railway was recognised with the decision to build a new Discovery Centre consisting of a café, commercial kitchen, visitor information services, interpretations, function rooms, staff offices, retail, educational facilities and amenities. The project brings together train enthusiasts and local park goers, creating a unique tourism amenity offering which collects the many users of the site in a single but complex building.

复杂的设计方案导致建筑规模大于历史上位于铁路线上的建筑。我们决定设计一个新的空间体验和独特的几何形状,与旧的火车站不同,但它的组织逻辑取决于游客和火车平台之间的关系。

The complex brief resulted in a building larger than would have historically been located on the railway line. The decision was made to design a new spatial experience and a unique geometry that is distinct from the old train stations, but one that depended on the relationship between visitors and the train platform for its organisational logic.
