“花园之间”是一次遵循了生物气候建筑方法的商业空间设计改造，旨在优化太阳辐射的获取以降低能源消耗。在预算较为紧张的情况下，团队试图从视觉、听觉和嗅觉三大角度来营造舒适的用户体验。

In Between Gardens is a commercial space renovation designed following a bioclimatic architecture approach. The main objective was to optimized the capture of solar radiation in order to reduce the energy consumption. Built with a reduced budget, the design tries to get a comfortable user experience from a visual, acoustic and olfactory point of view.

阳光和自然是本次设计的关键。通道大厅的深度、地板图案及其材料都依靠光照效果来确定。商店内展示柜的位置则由冬至前夕投射出的立面孔洞阴影来确定。这种生物气候策略能在冬季提升通过玻璃捕获的太阳辐射，在夏季则可将其停止以避免室内温度过热。这样的理念加上在外墙立面使用绝缘材料，以及减少热桥、空气控制渗透和高效率空调的使用，让空调能耗降低了52％，也使建筑获得最高等级的的能源标签。

Sun and nature are the design keys. Sun defines the access hall depth, as well as the floor pattern and its materials. The store’s showcase position is defined by the facade’s hole shadow projected on solar noon winter solstice day. This bioclimatic strategy improves the solar radiation captured on winter days through the glass, while stopping it on summer days, avoiding interior air to overheat. This idea, together with the use insulating materials on the facade, the reduction of thermal bridges, air control infiltrations and high efficiency air conditioner, reduces the AC energy consumption by 52% and obtains the highest energy label.

在空间的入口和底部，藤蔓植物和芳香植物可以通过释放香气和增加湿度来营造一个舒适的空间。两个位于房间前后部和石板地面之上的花园就像室内外空间的过渡，强化了主要空间位于室内外中间的概念。木材作为室内区域的主要材料，让整个空间充满了木香。由木材打造的地板和墙壁，不仅可以提供视觉和嗅觉上的舒适感，而且还能吸收声音降低混响。板岩和瓷砖制成的间接照明系统和深色地板，有助于避免眩光和眼睛疲劳，增强视觉上的舒适感。

In the access and bottom of the space, creepers and aromatic plants contribute to create a comfortable room with its smell and humidity. These two gardens at the edge of the main space and the slate floor, which works like a transition between the outside and inside, reinforce the idea that the main space is in between the outside and inside. It smells of wood. Wood is the main material in the indoor area. The floor and walls are made of it. Not only it provides visual and olfactory comfort, but wood also absorbs sound, getting a reverberation time lower than one second. The indirect lighting and dark floors, made of slate and tile, contribute to generate visual comfort avoiding glares and eye strain.

室内设计明亮灵活，为多种活动的开展提供了条件。内部区域是一个有着挑高天花板和充足自然光的单人房。浴室被一面用作主房间灯源的玻璃墙隔开。被放置在木质天花板上方的人造光源和空调管道，旨在最大限度地降低其视觉影响。墙壁开关被集中设置在壁橱中，杂乱的电线封闭在房间边缘的技术机柜内，通风孔和应急灯也隐藏在天花板木板之间。在必要时，插头数量也可以轻松增加。

Interior design is bright and flexible, enabling as many activities as possible. Indoor area is a single room with high ceilings and generous natural lighting. Only the bathroom is separated by a glass wall, which works as a lamp that illuminates the main room as well. Artificial lighting and air conditioning ducts are designed to reduce its visual impact to a minimum, being place above the wood ceiling. Also, wall switches have been centralized in a closet and electric wiring are inside a technical cabinet located in the room edge. This helps to increase the number of plugs easily if it were necessary. Air vents and emergency lamps are hidden between the ceiling wooden panels.

这是一种通过阳光和自然来影响用户体验的全新设计。项目旨在创建一个灵活的生态空间，为用户降低能耗，提升全方位的感官舒适度。

To sum up, the key project is to create a flexible and bioclimatic space, which provides users lower energy consumption but also a visual, acoustic and olfactory comfort. A new design where sun and nature shape the future user experience.
