The Espoo House is a hybrid municipal building, that will serve as a hub for decision-makers, city employees and residents in the Finnish city of Espoo – the country’s second largest city and part of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The design is centered around an ambitious use of timber, continuing Finland’s rich tradition of wooden construction.

埃斯波之家是一座混合型市政建筑，将成芬兰第二大城市埃斯波市决策者的建筑、也是赫尔辛基都会区一部分，它是市政工作人员和居民的办公中心。设计以大胆使用木材为核心，延续了芬兰丰富的木结构建筑传统。

The building is conceived with a load-bearing mass timber structure that minimizes the use of material and offers high flexibility and easy adaptation to the building’s evolving needs over time. The Espoo House will serve as the new public heart of the city. With a mix of workspaces and public areas distributed throughout the entire building, it will promote social encounters and multi-purpose spaces for a wide range of public events and activities.

该建筑采用承重大型木结构，最大限度地减少了材料的使用，并具有高度的灵活性，能够轻松适应建筑不断变化的需求。埃斯波之家将成为这座城市新的公共中心。整个建筑内分布着各种办公空间和公共区域，将促进社交活动，并为各种公共活动提供多功能空间。

The building is part of a larger master plan for one of five major urban centers in Espoo, creating a diverse neighborhood with new residential buildings, commercial facilities, public transportation, and green urban spaces. The Espoo House will be a recognizable landmark in the city, that strengthens the future identity of Espoo.

该建筑是埃斯波总体规划五大城市中心之一的一部分，旨在打造一个多元化的社区，包含新的住宅建筑、商业设施、公共交通和城市绿地。埃斯波之家将成为这座城市的标志性建筑，并强化埃斯波未来的城市形象。

Espoo House’s ground floor is an open and flexible extension of the public outdoor spaces. The public spaces extend inward and then vertically within the building within the central atrium, and up to the top-most level, providing flexible and diverse meeting places for all. The atrium also allows natural light to fill the central parts of the building.

埃斯波之家的底层是开放灵活的公共户外空间的延伸。公共空间向内延伸，然后垂直延伸至建筑内部的中央中庭，直至顶层，为所有人提供灵活多样的聚会场所。中庭也使自然光线能够洒满建筑的中心区域。

Espoo House will be built primarily of timber. The wooden structure offers flexibility for different layouts on each floor, enabling easy adaptation to the building’s evolving needs over time - extending the building’s life cycle and usability.

埃斯波之家将主要采用木材建造。木结构为每层楼的不同布局提供了灵活性，使其能够轻松适应建筑不断变化的需求，从而延长建筑的生命周期和可用性。

The load-bearing structure consists of mass timber with a span of 6x6 meters. The dimensions are chosen to minimize the material use for the building, since it reduces the use of decks as well as provide a generous room height.

承重结构由跨度为6x6米的大块木材构成。这些尺寸的选择旨在最大限度地减少建筑材料的使用，因为它减少了甲板的使用，并提供了宽敞的层高。

The top floor houses a public multi-purpose hall and winter garden, providing an ideal setting for large public events with expansive views over the city and surrounding landscapes.

顶层设有一个公共多功能厅和冬季花园，为大型公共活动提供了理想的场所，并可欣赏到城市和周边景观的开阔视野。

Espoo House is a landmark in the new urban development of Espoo Center. An urban transformation of a generic and one-dimensional architectural landscape defined by cars to a unique and diverse neighborhood, increasing green urban spaces and community life.

埃斯波住宅是埃斯波中心新城市发展中的地标建筑。该项目旨在将原本以汽车为主导的千篇一律的建筑景观改造成一个独特而多元的社区，从而增加城市绿地空间和社区生活。
