Olson Kundig：自1992年开放以来，占地53英亩的贝尔维尤植物园已成为太平洋西北地区最受欢迎的公共花园之一。新游客中心的设计适应了花园不断增长的游客量，同时也模糊了建筑和花园之间的界限。该设计平衡了市政功能与住宅规模和对细节的关注，创造出亲密的、令人愉悦的空间，引人探索和安静的思考。
Olson Kundig: Since opening in 1992, the 53-acre Bellevue Botanical Garden has become one of the most popular public gardens in the Pacific Northwest. The design of the new visitor center accommodates the garden’s growing visitation, while also blurring the boundaries between architecture and the gardens. Balancing civic function with residential scale and attention to detail, the design creates intimate, inspirational spaces that allow for exploration and quiet reflection.
该项目的核心是一个新的8500平方英尺的游客中心综合体，其中包括一个由顶棚的户外导向空间、一个礼品店、会议空间、优惠区、科普空间、办公空间和洗手间。不同的活动区域被安排在一系列较小的结构中，位于两个宽敞而有组织的屋顶之下，整体被视作一个统一的L形建筑。
The centerpiece of the project is a new 8,500-square-foot visitor center complex which includes a covered outdoor orientation space, a gift shop, meeting space, concession area, education space, office space and restrooms. The various program areas are arranged in a series of smaller structures situated under two large, organizing roofs; together, they read as a unified L-shaped building.
庭院散布在结构之间，加强了建筑与景观的联系，同时悬挑的宽大屋顶、蕨类植物墙和花园将这些空间联合起来，创造了室内和室外之间的自然流动。
Courtyards interspersed between the structures reinforce connections to landscape while broad roof overhangs, fernery walls and gardens unite the spaces and create a natural flow between indoors and out.
科普教育部分是一个较大型的空间，可以细分为几个多功能教室和会议空间，它们也可以通过向花园开放的大型卷帘门得到扩展。这些灵活的空间旨在满足人们对花园中各年龄段教育日益增长的兴趣需求，也将适应更多样化的项目计划，其中包括花园生活实验室，一个面向青年并提供科学和植物学相关科普教育机会的计划。
The educational component is one large space that can be subdivided into several multi-purpose classrooms and meeting spaces; these spaces can expand via large rolling doors that open onto the gardens. Designed to address a rising interest in all-ages education at the garden, these flexible spaces will accommodate a wide range of programming, including the garden’s Living Lab Program, a youth-oriented program providing science and botany-related educational opportunities.
现有的停车场经过重新配置，使花园的容量在当前基础上增加了一倍，并为游客中心提供了更安全的步行通道。重新设计的入口序列让游客通过一条林荫小道沿着新中心前进，可以屏蔽停车场的视线。此设计帮助游客从进入场地的那一刻起就开始体验花园的魅力。
The existing parking lot was reconfigured to double the garden’s current capacity and provide safer pedestrian access to the visitor center complex. Reworking the entry sequence brings guests alongside the new center through an allée of trees that screens the view of the parking area. The parking lot helps to ground the visitors’ experience of the garden beginning with the moment they enter the site.
该项目还包括对著名建筑师Paul Kirk设计的Shorts住宅（建于1957年）进行翻新。这座2300平方英尺的故居过去一直作为游客中心，现在则成为花园的附属图书馆和客厅。
The project also included the renovation of the Shorts Residence (built in 1957), which was designed by noted Pacific Northwest architect, Paul Kirk. The 2,300-square-foot former residence of Cal and Harriet Shorts, which has served as the visitor center since its inception, now functions as an auxiliary library and living room for the garden. The project is LEED® Gold certified.
