休斯顿首屈一指的户外休闲区纪念公园最近开放了纪念公园总体规划的最新阶段，即跑步综合体，其中包括由 Schaum Architects 设计的当地餐厅 Vibrant 的新址。

Memorial Park, Houston’s premier outdoor recreation area, has recently opened the newest phase of the Memorial Park Master Plan, the Running Complex, which features a new location of the local restaurant, Vibrant, designed by Schaum Architects.

Schaum Architects 受纪念公园保护协会和 Nelson Byrd Woltz 景观建筑师（负责纪念公园总体规划的设计师）的委托，负责设计该建筑，并与 Vibrant 所有者 Kelly Barnhart 密切合作，负责室内设计。

Schaum Architects was enlisted by Memorial Park Conservancy and Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, the designers responsible for the Memorial Park Master Plan, to design the building, and worked closely with Vibrant owner, Kelly Barnhart, on the interior.

这家单层咖啡馆占地 3,400 平方英尺，其中近 1,000 平方英尺为带顶露台，是公园内各类游客的重要中心。该建筑位于多条小径的交汇处，与景观融为一体，其朝向使得带顶露台朝向公园内部。室内用餐区拥有高高的拱形天花板，并采用玻璃包裹，三面均能欣赏美景。金色木材、不锈钢和奶油色瓷砖的中性内饰色调为美食和景观提供了宁静的背景。

The one-story, 3,400 SF café, of which almost 1,000 SF is a covered patio, serves as an important hub for the variety of park visitors. Situated at the convergence of multiple paths,the building is nestled into the landscape and oriented so that the covered patio projects towards the interior of the park. The indoor dining area has a high, vaulted ceiling and is wrapped in glass, offering views on three sides. A neutral interior palette of blonde wood, stainless steel, and cream-colored tile, acts as a serene backdrop for food and landscape.

在用餐区的南侧，可打开可操作的玻璃墙，带来无缝的室内外用餐体验。户外用餐区由令人印象深刻的 33 英尺深悬臂式屋顶遮蔽，为休斯顿人提供独特的体验；游客可以在公园树木的环绕下用餐，而不是在停车场用餐。这种创新的钢木悬臂结构是 Schaum Architects 和休斯顿结构工程师 H2B 合作的成果。这种混合结构结合了钢桁架山墙屋顶（公园内其他建筑模仿的当地建筑风格）和砖石平屋顶“塔楼”，后者隐藏了必要的屋顶机械设备。Schaum Architects 负责人 Troy Schaum 解释说：“咖啡馆有两个不同的面：一个标志着从纪念大道进入跑步综合大楼的入口，另一个像前廊一样通向公园。”Schaum 说：“悬臂屋顶创造了一个门槛，就像邀请人们参与景观一样。”

At the south side of the dining area, an operable glass wall opens for a seamless indoor/outdoor dining experience. The outdoor dining space, shaded by an impressive, 33’ deep cantilevered roof, offers a unique experience for Houstonians; one where visitors can dine surrounded by park trees, rather than a parking lot. The innovative steel and wood cantilever structure was the result of a collaboration between Schaum Architects and Houston-based structural engineers, H2B. The hybrid structure combines a steel truss gable roof, a vernacular emulated in other buildings throughout the park, with masonry, flat roof “towers” that hide the necessary rooftop mechanical equipment. Troy Schaum, principal of Schaum Architects, explains, “The Cafe has two distinct faces: one that marks the entry to the Running Complex from Memorial Drive, and one that opens onto the park like a front porch.” Schaum says, “The cantilever roof creates a threshold that acts like an invitation to participate in the landscape.”

完工的开放式门廊简洁明了，体现了项目团队在设计和施工方面的深度协调。“考虑到它的宏伟，30 英尺的悬臂绝非易事。从一开始，这是一个合作项目。我们在施工前与钢结构制造商合作，以支持可施工性，同时保持原始结构设计意图。我们能够在钢结构制造之前抢占先机，从而减少施工过程中的潜在问题，”H2B 工程设计学院毕业结构工程师 Steven Farkas 表示。

The simplicity of the completed open porch bellies the deep coordination of the project team in design and construction. “A 30 ft cantilever is no easy feat when considering it’s grandeur. From the start, this was a project of collaboration. We worked with the steel fabricator prior to construction to support the constructability while maintaining the original structural design intent. We were able to get ahead of matters before the steel was fabricated which reduced potential issues during construction,” According to Steven Farkas, Graduate Structural Engineer from H2B Engineering and Design.

咖啡馆老板 Kelly Barnhart 与建筑师合作完成了咖啡馆的室内设计，她希望打造一个能让人联想到公园环境的现代空间。Barnhart 解释道：“对于高雅休闲的室内空间，我想要一种安静的材料色调，重点是窗户外美丽的自然风光。这种美学既适合汗湿的运动服，也同样适合工作服或公园氛围中的可爱早午餐。装饰非常简单，我添加了大型 Noguchi 灯、原装玻璃纤维 Eames “La Fonda” 椅子、将户外景色带入室内的大镜子，以及定制的安静休闲桌。”

Café Owner Kelly Barnhart collaborated on the café’s interior design with the architects,contributing her vision for a modern space that evokes the park setting. Barnhart explains,“For the elevated casual interior, I wanted a quiet material palette, where the focus is thebeautiful nature beyond the windows. Where the aesthetic threads the needle betweensweaty running clothes appropriate, while equally suitable for work wear or cute brunch inthe park vibes. Very simply decorated, I added the large Noguchi light, original fiberglassEames “La Fonda” chairs, large mirrors to bring the outdoors in, and custom-made quietgo-away tables.”
