经过30多年的酝酿，贝壳湾是一个独特而广阔的总体规划的住宅、商业和旅游开发项目，位于卧龙岗南部一个突出的海岸位置。它的核心是一个拥有270个泊位的人工港湾–令人激动的海滨酒馆被设想为新成立的港湾村皇冠上的宝石。在该区总体规划获得批准后，H&E与Frasers地产集团和贝壳港委员会密切合作，开发了一个强大的概念，为贝壳湾中心提供了一个独特和令人难忘的支柱–Waterfront Tavern对居民来说是一个温馨的避难所，对游客来说是一个有吸引力的目的地。
More than 30 years in the making, Shell Cove is a unique and expansive master-planned residential, commercial, and tourist development established in a prominent coastal location just south of Wollongong. The centerpiece is a man-made harbor boasting a 270-berth marina – the heady Waterfront Tavern envisioned as the jewel in the crown of the newly founded harbourside village. Following approval of the precinct masterplan, H&E worked in close collaboration with The Frasers Property Group and Shell Harbour Council to develop a robust concept delivering a unique and memorable anchor for the Shell Cove hub — Waterfront Tavern a welcoming refuge for residents and an appealing destination for visitors.
为了向其海洋环境致敬，该设计是对木制船屋的现代诠释。由于其耐用性和可持续性，该建筑采用了Accoya（乙酰化木材）包覆，屋顶由锌制成，建筑以钢筋混凝土为基础。材料的选择是为了能够经受恶劣的海洋环境的考验，细节的设计是为了最大限度地延长使用寿命。建筑物的结构旨在通过多年的努力，以相对最少的维护来保持其优雅的光泽。
In homage to its maritime setting, the design developed as a contemporary interpretation of a timber boat house. Clad in Accoya (acetylated timber) for its durability and sustainability, the roof is fabricated from zinc and the building is founded on reinforced concrete. Materials were selected for the ability to weather the harsh marine environment with details developed to maximize longevity. The building fabric is intended to patina gracefully through the years with relatively minimal maintenance.
功能简介被安排在一系列四个相互连接的屋檐亭子里。这些亭子沿着东部边缘交错排列，以最大限度地扩大东北方向的视野和港湾。只有最南端的亭子打破了规则的亭子的严谨性，在那里的形式改变了，向港口入口渐渐缩小，以欢迎海员通过港口口返回，走向码头的姿态。
The functional brief is organized within a series of four inter-connected gabled pavilions. The pavilions sit staggered along the eastern edge to maximize the north-eastern aspect and harbor. The rigor of the regularly formed pavilions is broken only along the southernmost pavilion, where the form alters to taper toward the harbor entry in a welcoming gesture to seafarers as they return through the harbor’s mouth and toward the marina.
公共区域环绕着北面和东面，利用方面的优势和广阔的视野。后台区域战略性地位于西南角，并被安排为尽量减少服务的交叉，从而最大限度地提高运营效率。北部和东部的外墙由液压可操作的玻璃板组成，当天气好的时候，建筑可以拥抱环境，当天气不好的时候，可以提供庇护。
Public areas wrap the north and east, taking advantage of the aspect and expansive views. Back-of-house areas are strategically located in the southwestern corner and arranged to minimize cross-over of service, thus maximizing operational efficiency. The north and eastern façades are comprised of hydraulicly operable glazed panels that allow the building to embrace the environment when the weather is favorable and provide shelter when less inviting.
每一个座位都是全天候的，全年不受影响。这对运营商来说具有巨大的价值，因为在这样一个暴露在外的地方，一年中很大一部分时间环境是不利的，这是不可避免的。此外，可操作的外墙使场地能够更好地管理其在晚上的声学影响。在陆地上，酒馆与西边的村庄平地相连，延伸到东边的港口上，大大地悬空。
Every seat is all-weather and uncompromised year-round. This is of tremendous value to the operator as it is inevitable in such an exposed location that environmental circumstances will be unfavorable for a significant proportion of the year. Furthermore, the operable façade allows the venue to better manage its acoustic impacts in the evening. On its land side, the Tavern connects at grade with the village to the west, extending out to dramatically cantilever over the harbor to the east.
内部规划已被开发，以促进访问和参与的便利性。较大的休闲酒吧和小酒馆位于北面，而更亲密的会所式运动酒吧则位于东南面。室内设计与前述的船屋风格一致，并拥有高耸的木质天花板。家具和细木家具的设计也是为了突出沿海主题，对流动的叙述进行了引人入胜的抽象。滨水酒馆是对设计方案和背景的精心设计–它以一种新的、高度吸引人的、与场地相适应的方式挑战对 “老地方 “的期望。
The internal planning has been developed to promote ease of access and engagement. The larger lounge bar and bistro are located to the north, while the more intimate clubhouse-style sports bar rests in the southeast. Interior design is consistent with the aforementioned boat house vernacular and boasts soaring timber-clad ceilings. Furniture and joinery detailing has also been designed to highlight coastal themes in an engaging abstraction of the flowing narrative. The Waterfront Tavern is a carefully crafted response to brief and context – one that challenges expectations of the ‘old local’ in a new, highly engaging, and site-responsive manner.
