Appreciation towardsMRTN Architects for providing the following description:

史密斯海滩冲浪救生塔既满足了遮风避雨这一最基本的建筑意图，又同时满足了海滩安全、急救空间、便捷移动、预制建筑类型、跨季节性使用、野生动物保护等广泛的附加需求。这座塔只在游客活跃的夏季开放，且能同时容纳5名救生员。由于Woolamai冲浪救生俱乐部没有车辆通道和水上艇发射的设备，史密斯海滩就自然地充当了它的前哨阵地。

▼项目远眺，project overview

The Smiths Beach Surf Life Saving Tower was required to provide that most basic of architectural intents, shelter from the weather. The success of the design however was to meet a wide range of additional brief requirements: beach safety, a space for first aid provision, a relocatable structure, prefabricated construction type, seasonal use, wildlife conservation and a protected coastal location. The tower is used by up to five life savers during the active summer season, for the rest of the year the structure is closed. Smiths Beach is patrolled as an outpost of the Woolamai Surf Lifesaving Club it is a challenging location due to the absence vehicle access and water craft launching opportunity.

该塔不仅提供了极端天气保护和急救服务空间，还可以储存冲浪和急救设备。当救生塔开放时，巡逻人员甚至能够从窗台直接观察海上的情况。项目所在地位于菲利普岛外露的海岸公园边缘，是受保护的菲利普岛自然公园的一部分，也是迁徙海鸥的主要栖息地。塔的设计是为了承受其高度暴露的沿海环境，同时在这个美丽而热闹的位置打造一个安静的建筑。建筑结构被设计成一个圆鼓形，因此没有明显的前后面之分。

The tower now provides protection from the weather and a space for first aid services but also storage for equipment and importantly a visible patrol presence when opened up. Located on the exposed coastal park edge of Phillip Island the site is included as part of the protected Phillip Island Nature Parks and is a key habitat for migratory Shearwater birds. The tower is designed to withstand its highly exposed coastal environment while at the same time having a quiet presence in this beautiful and very public location. The structure has no discernible front or rear and is designed to be viewed in the round.

长玻璃的开口位置和范围是由俱乐部精心确定的，旨在确保救生员能看到高风险的水域和海滩的人员密集区域。百叶窗在巡逻开始时打开，在整个休赛期和巡逻结束后关闭。百叶窗不仅可以防止人为的破坏，还可以起到像海滩彩旗那样的积极巡逻的标志作用。由于场地处于生态非常脆弱的植被保护区和海鸥栖息地，塔楼需要在场地外建造好并通过附近的停车场被吊到指定位置，以最大程度地减少对周边环境的影响。

The location and extent of the long-glazed opening was carefully determined with the club to ensure views of the high-risk areas of the water as well as the popular sections of the beach. The shutters are opened at the start of patrol and then closed at the end of the day and for the entire off season. The shutters provide important protection from vandalism but also function as a signifier of an active patrol, much like the yellow and red flags located on the beach as part of each patrol. The sensitive nature of the site due to the protection of native vegetation and habitation by Shearwater birds dictated that the siting be minimally disruptive and the tower be fabricated off-site and craned into location from the adjacent carpark.

这座塔还被要求设计成可拆组的结构，以便在必要的时候进行移动。设计细节还需仔细考虑重量和大小的限制以方便运输。救生俱乐部是一个完全由志愿者运营的组织，所有能够参与到这个项目并共同为之努力付出的成员都会感到无比自豪。

The tower was also required to be designed as a relocatable structure so that it could be moved at some point in the future. The detailed design needed to carefully consider limitations on the weight and size of the structure due to transport. Lifesaving clubs are an entirely volunteer run organisations and it has been an honour to be involved in a project for which the members have worked so hard to achieve and for which they are incredibly proud of.
