伯杰合伙企业：位于亚基马河和纳契斯河交汇处附近，是漫滩的一部分。历史地图显示，该地区在世纪之交被清理和重新规划，用于农业用途，并作为当时北太平洋铁路线的一部分，该铁路线穿过Yakima河形成的山丘缺口时，仍向遗址东部延伸。公司的加工和储存设施位于场地东侧，影响了新建筑和入口车道的选址和方向。
Berger Partnership: Located near the confluence of the Yakima and Naches Rivers, the site is part of a floodplain. Historic maps show the area cleared and regraded after the turn of century for agricultural use and as part of what was then the Northern Pacific Railroad line that still passes to the east of the site as it heads through the gap in the hills created by the Yakima River. Processing and storage facilities for the company flank the site to the east and influenced the siting and orientation of the new building and entry drive.

Landform

一个主要的地形被设计来容纳结构，并帮助编排进入现场的体验。地形或护堤具有多种功能，包括控制现场内外的景观，为结构和内部庭院提供庇护所，以及创建附近河岸走廊的结构缩影。护堤使我们能够更好地平衡现场的挖方和填方，并在宽阔的开放空间中唤起一种封闭感和安全感。
A major landform was designed to embrace the structure and help choreograph the experience of entering the site. The landform or berm has several functions including controlling views both into and out of the site, providing shelter for the structure and the interior courtyard, and creating a structured microcosm of the nearby riparian corridor. The berm allowed us to better balance cut and fill on the site and evoke a sense of enclosure and security in a wide-open space.

Plants

从附近的河岸走廊和周围山坡上选择本地物种，以展示它们的美丽和适应管理景观的能力。该布局既能唤起人们对自然模式的回忆，又能唤起人们对该地区过去农业生产的有序种植。种植了非本地但具有文化意义的抗DED的美国榆树和糖枫，为停车场提供遮荫，并提醒人们注意山谷中种植的一些首批观赏树。
Native species were selected from the nearby riparian corridor and the surrounding hillsides to demonstrate their beauty and their ability to adapt to a managed landscape. The layout is evocative of both natural patterns and the ordered row planting of the site’s agricultural past. Non-native but culturally significant DED-resistant American elms and sugar maples were planted to provide shade for the parking areas and as a reminder of some of the first ornamental trees planted in the valley.

The Courtyard

在这种干旱气候下，河岸走廊和河流就像绿洲一样，庭院旨在为游客和华盛顿水果公司的员工提供降温和镇静效果。一堵大型板状混凝土墙将北部护堤一分为二，并连接到挡土午餐室。选择板状混凝土将现场墙壁连接到建筑物的粗糙木质覆盖物上。一个绿色的屋顶覆盖着餐厅，提供了与土地的文字和象征性的联系。中央开口是一个直观的进入现场的入口，通过开口回望远处的山丘和Yakima河穿过的缺口。整个内部办公空间向庭院开放，让每个人都能从视觉上进入该空间。入口通道略高于相邻景观，给人以木板路的印象，进一步加强了景观与水的连接。
Much the way the riparian corridor and river serve as an oasis in this arid climate, the courtyard was intended to provide a cooling and calming effect upon visitors and workers of the Washington Fruit Company. A large board-form concrete wall bisects the northern berm and connects to the earth-sheltered lunchroom. Board-form concrete was chosen to connect the site wall to the roughhewn wood covering of the building. A green roof covers the lunchroom, providing a literal and symbolic connection to the land. The central opening is an intuitive entry to site and looks back through the aperture to distant hills and the gap through which the Yakima River passes. The entire interior office space opens up onto the courtyard allowing everyone visual access to the space. The entry walk is elevated slightly above the adjacent landscape giving the impression of a boardwalk and further strengthening the landscape’s connection to water.

Agricultural Influence

华盛顿水果及其所在社区与农业有着密切的联系。设计团队试图将这种联系的元素融入到设计中。核心种植和原生石头被布置在一个网格中，让人想起一排排的果园或农作物。网格决定了建筑结构框架的布局，而建筑本身则让人联想到一部分旧谷仓结构。标志着入口的遮阳结构，为停车场提供了急需的遮阳，是一种农用遮阳布，覆盖在通常用于种植啤酒花藤的棚架上。
Washington Fruit and the community in which it resides have a strong connection to agriculture. The design team sought to incorporate elements of that connection into the design. The core planting and native stones are laid out in a grid reminiscent of rows of orchards or crops. The grid dictates the layout of the building’s structural framework, and the building itself is evocative of a portion of and old barn structure. The shade structure marking the entrance and providing much needed shade over the parking area is agricultural shade cloth stretched over a trellis typically used for growing hop vines.

Sustainability

所有雨水在现场收集和渗透，从而减少对植物材料的灌溉需求。所有土壤和石头均来自现场或附近的当地来源。灌溉水来自非饮用水源。当地种植的本地植物被用来改善栖息地和适应气候。植树和农业遮荫结构降低了热岛效应。
All stormwater is collected and infiltrated on the site, which reduces the irrigation demand for the plant materials. All soils and stones are from on site or nearby local sources. Irrigation water is from non-potable sources. Locally grown native plants were used to improve habitat and for their suitability to the climate. Tree planting and the agricultural shade structure reduce the heat island effect.
