尊重是推动Peggy湾基础设施改善战略设计的基本主题。尊重荒芜土地上的自然力量。尊重当地的居民和村庄的特质。尊重人造景观与自然景观之间的平衡。最重要的是，Peggy湾是加拿大的地标性景观，它尊重所有的人，让他们共享Peggy湾所蕴含的氛围和精神。

Respect is the underlying theme driving the design for the infrastructure improvement strategy at Peggy’s Cove. Respect for the forces of nature on the barren landscape. Respect for the local families and character of their village. Respect for the balance between a manufactured and natural landscape. And finally, respect for those of all abilities to share in the atmosphere and spirit that is embedded in the iconic Canadian landmark that is Peggy’s Cove.

这种尊重要求设计师以敏感的触点开始工作，因此设计想要解决很多长期存在的问题，并帮助社区规划一条可持续的，有韧性的且受欢迎的前进道路。设计工作需要将其融入多种环境，从古朴的小渔屋到岩石附近贫瘠的地貌。

This respect required us to proceed with a sensitive touch, as we looked to address many long-standing issues and help the community plot a sustainable, resilient, and welcoming path forward. Our work needed to thread itself into a multiplicity of contexts, from the quaint fishing shacks in the cove to the barren landscape near the rocks.

在这样的环境中建造任何一种结构都有它的挑战。为了最大程度的降低新设施的将要面临的风险，设计师进行了大量的海浪建模测试，以此来保证将主要结构放置在能够抵御冲击海岸线的风浪的高处。此外，场地的位置还考虑到了未来海平面上升对于Peggy湾的影响。

Building a structure of any kind in these environments has its challenges. To minimize the risk to the new infrastructure, extensive wave modeling was undertaken to ensure we placed the primary components at an elevation that provides protection from the strong waves striking the coastline. The placement also takes into consideration the effects sea level rise will have on the future of Peggy’s Cove.

基于材料的可用性和社区对其的熟悉程度，设计选择了建造所需的材料。对于建造来说，很重要的一点是将长期以来形成的建造原则和根生蒂固的物质文化结合。该建筑被精心地消隐入环境中，与景观融为一体，以此来尽量减少对该地区传统景观或用途的影响。护栏由开放式网状结构和实体结构组成，网状结构可以让风通过，并且使人视野开阔。实体结构则在沿途的特定阶段提供避风效果。新的步道连接了场地的两个主入口，为人们提供了参与社区的连接和机会，此外也提供了更多的便利设施来支持和分流每年到来的游客人群。

The primary materials for this area were chosen based on their availability and familiarity to the community. It was important that the construction blend in with long-established building principles and entrenched material culture. The structure has been carefully tucked away and scribed into the landscape to minimize any impact it may have on traditional views or uses for the area. Guard rails are a mixture of open netting allowing wind to pass through and uninterrupted views, while solid sections provide relief from the wind at specific sections along the way. The new walking surface connects the two primary access points to the site, providing both new connectivity and opportunities for people to engage within the community, and reinforce the need for further amenities to support and disperse the crowds of visitors that arrive each year.

为了实现这一目标首先要推动该基础设施的无障碍化，成为Nova Scotia的无障碍设施的典范。观景平台提供了从落客区到停车区的平整路面，改造自为通行和安全带来挑战的环形路面。坡道、触觉指示器和扶手有利于减少在场地行走的难度。新的公共卫生设施提供了更宽敞的走廊和隔间，远高于目前建筑规范所要求的面积。成人的更衣室为所有的使用者提供了尊重，捍卫了尊严。

A current running through all of this was a push to make this new infrastructure completely accessible, becoming a model for accessibility in Nova Scotia. The viewing platform provides an even surface from the drop-off zone through to the parking area, occupying the site of a former road loop that presented accessibility and safety challenges. Ramps, tactile indicators, and handrails help to make navigating the site less of a challenge. The new public washroom facilities offer larger hallways and stalls, exceeding the standards currently required by the building code. An adult changing table provides dignity and respect to all users of the facilities.

观景平台为所有人提供了从高处和受保护区域体验灯塔和独特地形的机会，使更多人能够使用该场地。并且为步调不一或希望长时间欣赏美景的人提供了座位。绿地空间将通过种植园和景观带进行扩建，混合种植了本地的植物种类，以支持和维护当地的生态，并让更多人了解沿海荒原独特的生物圈。

The viewing platform presents an opportunity for everyone to experience the lighthouse and the unique topography from an elevated and protected zone, opening the use of the site up to a much broader audience. Seating will be available to support those who may move at a different pace or wish to enjoy the vista for an extended period. Green spaces are expanded with planters and landscaped zones, that use a mixture of native plant species, to support and sustain the local ecology and educate a larger audience to the unique biosphere of the coastal barrens.
