Appreciation towards Kevin Daly Architects  for providing the following description:

由洛杉矶建筑事务所Kevin Daly Architects以及墨西哥事务所PRODUCTORA合作设计的Houston Endowment总部于近日正式落成。作为该基金会首座总部建筑，项目面积达3.2万平方英尺（约2972.89平方米），价值2100万美元。基金会原办公大楼坐落于休斯顿市中心，如今则搬迁至风景优美的Spotts公园附近，可持续、无障碍的新总部反映了该公司作为城市合作者与支持者的重要地位。全新的建筑为基金会创造出与公共、私营和非营利部门合作伙伴的新合作方式，同时也将为大休斯顿区的人民创造出更加平等的机会，并增强地区的活力。

Los Angeles-based Kevin Daly Architects (kdA) today announced the completion of the new headquarters of Houston Endowment, designed by kdA with Mexico City-based collaborator PRODUCTORA. The nearly 32,000-square-foot, $21 million building serves as the Foundation’s first purpose-built headquarters. The organization’s relocation from an office tower in Downtown Houston to an engaging, sustainable, and accessible new headquarters in Spotts Park reflects its on-the-ground ethic as a vital source of support and collaboration within the city. The building provides the Foundation with a new way of working with its partners across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors and will support the mission of advancing equity of opportunity for the people of Greater Houston and enhancing the vibrancy of the region.

kdA事务所的创始人兼负责人Kevin Daly说：“为了适应休斯顿严苛的气候条件，我们将建筑设想为一棵能够为人们提供荫蔽的大树，以凉爽舒适的环境迎接着人们的到来。如果没有休斯顿捐赠基金会（Houston Endowment）的全力合作与支持，这种设想是不可能实现的。在PRODUCTORA以及景观设计事务所Tom Leader Studio的合作下，我们成功实现了这一目标。此外，基金会希望新总部建筑能够为休斯顿的城市组织作出贡献，充分融入当地景观，补充Spotts公园的服务功能，并希望设计团队能够制定出一个强有力的环境战略，使这座总部建筑成为其他城市机构可以参考的范本。这是一项不小的挑战，同时，我们也非常感谢Houston Endowment对我们工作方法的信任与支持。”

Kevin Daly, founder and principal of Kevin Daly Architects, said, “Attuned to Houston’s demanding climate, the new headquarters for Houston Endowment is intended to be as welcoming as the shadow beneath a tree. This could not have been achieved without Houston Endowment’s desire for a collaborative approach to design, which we fulfilled with our collaborator PRODUCTORA and landscape designer Tom Leader Studio. The Foundation’s brief challenged our team to represent the work of providing a network of support to organizations in Houston, to fully engage the landscape and complement Spotts Park, and to develop a robust environmental strategy that could be a roadmap for others in the city. We are grateful to the Houston Endowment for its belief in our approach.”

Houston Endowmen总裁兼首席执行官Ann B. Stern说：“作为一个永久性机构，我们迫切地需要一个永久的“家”，一处适宜的办工空间来适应并支持我们当下的工作方式。我们所应对的问题以及所寻求的解决方案是复杂的，无法由单一的组织来完成。而全新的总部使我们能够召集来自公共、私人、非营利和慈善部门的各方合作伙伴，更好地为大休斯顿地区的人民服务。为了达成这一目标，我们定制了一个极其严格的筛选流程，除了为总部进行合理的选址外，我们还组织了设计竞赛来招募合适的合作伙伴，他们将在优先考虑可持续性的情况下，为这座城市带来一座美丽的建筑。kdA和PRODUCTURA理解我们的愿景，其设计过程引导着我们去创造并适应未来的发展。”

Ann B. Stern, Houston Endowment president and CEO said, “As a perpetual institution, it made sense for Houston Endowment to create a permanent home and a space that better supports how we approach our work today. The issues we seek to address are complex and can’t be solved by any one organization working alone. This new headquarters enables us to convene partners from across the public, private, non-profit and philanthropic sectors, and to better serve the people of Greater Houston. We followed a rigorous process to get to this point selecting a location that is easily accessible to convene our partners and establishing a design competition to find the right partners who would bring beautiful architecture to our city while prioritizing sustainability. kdA and PRODUCTURA understood our vision, and the design process guided us to the form that fits our future.”

建筑设计
Building Design

设计旨在将该建筑打造为不同组织与部门的合作网络核心，以及服务于社区、分配资源、传播专业知识的聚会场所。该总部将成为休斯顿不断更新的城市化进程中的“锚”，以响应继水牛城河口和周边社区修复后的重大城市转型策略。面对如此复杂的挑战，包括kdA在内的设计团队提出了为建筑创造前门与后门廊的设想。建筑的前门作为基金会的门户，以专业且正式的姿态欢迎着各方合作伙伴，同时也以热情的姿态欢迎着来自社区的公众，让合作者甚至第一次来访的人都能够产生出一种强烈的归属感。

The Houston Endowment headquarters has been thoughtfully designed to be the center of a network, equally a meeting place for members of the community and for the distribution of resources and expertise back to the community at large. The headquarters was imagined to have an anchoring quality in a transient city, a measure against the significant urban transformation that has followed the restoration of the Buffalo Bayou and the surrounding neighborhood. The challenge of the project addressed by kdA and the design team was to create a building that is simultaneously a front door and a back porch for the organization. The front door is the public representation of the Foundation, formal enough to greet institutional partners while remaining approachable for any member of the community to feel welcome, with a strong sense of belonging for collaborators and first-time visitors alike.

建筑轻盈优雅的上层结构成为总部的标志性设计元素，它如同橡树林间的巨大树冠，为人们慷慨地创造出阴凉。建筑与场地的设计与环境紧密相连，巧妙融于休斯顿布法罗河口岸边的Spotts公园景观，并呼应了公园的历史。如雕塑一般的格栅顶棚，为基金会和当地社区创造出一种庇护感，丰富的室外露台空间则最大限度地利用了自然采光，同时也减少了建筑对于热量的吸收。建筑内部空间高度灵活，能够在公共与私人空间之间来回转换，并通过一系列保护在巨大顶棚下的外部露台与公园景观紧密相连。优质的设计为员工们提供了健康的工作环境，创造出灵活舒适的参与空间，同时也为社区提供了聚会与合作的场所。新总部的动态空间设计，使基金会能够与众多合作伙伴实现前所未有的接触与交流。

The building’s signature design element is an airy, elegant superstructure generously shaded by a large canopy within a grove of oak trees. The design is strongly connected to the site and context: the landscape and history of Spotts Park on the banks of Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. The intricate lattice of the sculptural roof canopy offers a sense of shelter to both the organization and the local community, encouraging the use of outdoor terraces, maximizing use of daylight within the building, and minimizing solar gain. Interior spaces are conceived within public and private zones and are highly flexible, linked to the park through a series of exterior terraces, shaded by the canopy. The design promotes healthy working and offers welcoming engagement spaces that provide zones for convening and collaborating with the community. The dynamic setting of the new headquarters allows the Houston Endowment unprecedented engagement with its many partners.

建筑建造
Building Construction

对于建筑的建造，建筑和工程团队评估了多种系统，最终建议使用混合钢和交叉层压木材(CLT)方法建造总部。CLT（交叉层积材）是一种新的质量木材，通常由3~9层奇数木板、木纹方向呈90度交错贴合而成，这种材料不仅能够满足所需的强度，同时作为一种可再生资源，减少了建筑的碳足迹，与CLT结合使用的钢框架则提供了稳定性和灵活性。建筑复杂的格状雨棚最大限度地提高了建筑内的采光，同时最大限度地减少了室内冷却需求和能源消耗。钢和交叉层压木材结构的组合，使该总部建筑兼顾了高效率与视觉吸引力。

For the construction of the building, the architectural and engineering teams evaluated numerous systems, ultimately recommending the headquarters be constructed using a hybrid steel and cross- laminated timber (CLT) approach. CLT, a mass timber product consisting of layers of lumber glued together in alternate directions, offers exceptional strength while also enabling a reduced carbon footprint as a renewable resource, and steel framing provides both stability and flexibility. The building’s intricate latticed canopy maximizes daylight in the building, while minimizing cooling requirements and energy consumption. Together, steel and mass timber achieve a highly efficient and visually appealing new headquarters.

净零耗能设计
Net-Zero Design

2030年净零挑战被设定为该项目的主要可持续发展目标，为同类建筑提供了一个可实现的前瞻性参考案例。通过优先考虑节能规划和设计，本项目有望在2030年实现碳中和。本项目中采用的可持续设计策略包括：地热井系统、高效的雨幕幕墙和遮阳篷等，与典型的办公楼相比，Houston Endowment总部的碳消耗将减少33%。光伏系统产生的能量将覆盖并平衡建筑所需能源需求，进而实现“净零”目标。

The 2030 Net Zero Challenge was set as the project’s primary sustainability objective, providing an achievable and forward-thinking framework and setting a goal of carbon neutrality by 2030 through prioritizing energy-efficient planning and design. By including a geothermal well system, high-efficient rainscreen façade, and shade canopy, the carbon consumption of Houston Endowment headquarters will be reduced by 33%, as compared to a typical office building. The energy generation from the photovoltaic system will cover the balance of the required energy demand, therefore resulting in a “net zero” project.
