Appreciation towards Stanton Williams for providing the following description:

由赫伯特·贝克爵士（Sir Herbert Baker）设计并于1929年完工的罗德斯大楼（Rhodes House）位于历史悠久的牛津市中心南园路（South Parks Road）。建筑坐落于宽阔的花园之中，是罗德斯基金会（Rhodes Trust）的历史总部。该基金会是一家教育慈善机构，负责管理世界知名的牛津大学罗德奖学金（Rhodes Scholarships）——其校友包括前美国总统比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）、电影导演泰伦斯·马力克（Terrence Malik）以及音乐家克里斯·克里斯托佛森（Kris Kristofferson）——以及其他多个国际奖学金项目。

Designed by Sir Herbert Baker and completed in 1929, Rhodes House is located on South Parks Road, in the centre of historic Oxford. Set within extensive gardens, the building is the historic headquarters of the Rhodes Trust, an educational charity which oversees the world-renowned Rhodes Scholarships at the University of Oxford (alumni of which include former US president Bill Clinton, film director Terrence Malik and musician Kris Kristofferson) and several other global fellowship programmes.

斯坦顿·威廉斯建筑事务所（Stanton Williams）与罗德斯基金会及更广泛的设计与施工团队密切合作，通过富有同理性的改造，为罗德斯大楼注入了新的生命。此次改造使建筑的可用空间翻倍，并显著提升了其环境与空间性能。项目对20世纪20年代的建筑及其历史花园进行了精心修复，并重新梳理场地布局，建立了清晰的流线与分区：中央为会议设施，东侧为住宿功能，西侧为员工与学者的办公空间。北侧的门舍与附属空间经过细致重组，恢复了主立面的对称性；新打造的内部空间在多层面上与花园互动，引入自然光与新鲜空气，提升了使用者的健康与幸福感。

Developed in close collaboration with the Rhodes Trust and the wider design and construction team, Stanton Williams’ scheme breathes new life into Rhodes House, with sympathetic alterations that double its usable space and substantially improve its environmental and spatial performance. The project has carefully restored the 1920s building and its historic gardens and reorganised the site to establish clear circulation routes and zones, with new conference facilities in the centre; residential uses to the east; and new staff and scholar working accommodation to the west. The sensitive reconfiguration of the lodge buildings and ancillary spaces to the north of the site restored the symmetry of the main façade; while the newly crafted interior spaces engage with the gardens on multiple levels to draw natural daylight and fresh air into the building and enhance wellbeing.

建筑主层下原为拱形档案库的空间，被巧妙地改造为一个可容纳300人的新会议厅及相邻的前厅。这些档案空间并非贝克的原始设计，而是在20世纪50年代的改建中添加的。新的会议厅采用拱顶屋面，营造出宽阔灵活的空间尺度，可容纳多种形式的会议活动，同时开辟出面向葱郁花园的视野。

A new 300-seat Conference Hall and adjacent Foyers have been cleverly created by converting existing cavernous archive spaces beneath the House’s main rooms. The archive spaces were not included in Baker’s original design and were part of a series of alterations carried out in the 1950s. In the newly created Conference Hall, a new vaulted roof provides a generosity of scale and flexibility for a variety of convenings as well as opening up views out to the verdant gardens beyond.

过去通往档案室的通道位于主流线之外，如今新的会议厅与前厅可通过在圆厅（Rotunda）中央新建的优雅石阶进入。圆厅是贝克设计的壮丽主入口，同时也是一座纪念在第一次与第二次世界大战中牺牲的罗德学者的纪念空间。新的楼梯从地面层的圆厅直接引导与会者进入下层的新前厅，新增的玻璃采光井为重新规划的下层带来自然光与通风，同时作为非正式的交流区域及公共艺术展示空间。

Whereas the access to the archive spaces was originally tucked away from the main route, the Conference Hall and Foyers are now entered via an elegant new stone staircase created in the centre of the Rotunda – Baker’s spectacular main entrance to Rhodes House, which is also an important memorial to fallen Rhodes Scholars on both sides of the First and Second World Wars. The new staircase leads delegates from the Rotunda at ground level directly into the new Foyers below, where newly glazed lightwells bring daylight and natural ventilation to the reconfigured lower floors, while also acting as informal breakout spaces as well as display areas for public art.

尽管圆厅具有重要的纪念意义与空间庄严感，但在改造前功能欠佳，仅作为通行通道使用，从而削弱了纪念空间的氛围。新的石阶减缓了人们穿越圆厅的速度，使进入者在拱顶之下被引导沿环形栏杆缓缓行进，而非径直穿过空间。拾级而上，视线被吸引至穹顶及墙上的纪念铭文。新楼梯的雕塑形态与圆厅相得益彰，唤起了贝克所称的“魔幻魅力”，实现了他当年的愿景——在此设置一件雕塑，使该空间成为“建筑之美与兴趣的中心”，并成为“吸引每一位进入者目光的所在”。

Despite its importance and grandeur, the Rotunda did not function well. Prior to Stanton Williams’ intervention, it served only as a thoroughfare, detracting from the cultural sensitivity of the memorial. The new stone staircase helps to slow down the pace at which people engage with the Rotunda. As you enter under the vault, you are guided around the circular perimeter of the balustrade, rather than cutting straight through the space. Ascending the stairs, the eye is drawn to the dome above and the commemorative inscriptions on the wall. The sculptural form of the new staircase complements the Rotunda, bringing to the fore the ‘magical influence’ that Baker attributed to it and fulfilling his ambition that a sculpture should be installed to help this space become ‘the centre of beauty and interest in the building’ and a place that ‘holds the attention of all who enter it’.

在西侧花园，一座全新的50座玻璃亭为学者与公众提供一个宁静的会面与交流场所，置身于壮丽的园景之中。该亭采用创新科技，同时作为整个场地的“太阳能收集器”。其玻璃立面可被动吸收太阳热量，过剩热能通过隐藏于墙体木作中的风机盘管装置提取，使空间保持舒适温度；捕获的热能则被储存或直接用于邻近历史建筑的供暖与热水系统。

In the West Garden, a new 50-seat glazed Pavilion provides a tranquil place for Scholars and the public to meet and exchange ideas in a magnificent landscaped setting. Using innovative technologies, the Pavilion also acts as a ‘solar collector’ for the entire site. Its glazed facades passively collect the sun’s heat. Excess heat is extracted by fan-coil units concealed in the joinery wall, cooling the space to a comfortable temperature, while the captured heat is then either stored or immediately used elsewhere in the adjacent historic building for heating and hot water.

罗德斯大楼的东翼被恢复为最初的居住功能，为会议代表提供21间带独立卫浴的客房，并配备新电梯以确保大部分房间拥有平层无障碍通行。紧邻东翼，一处新建的下沉式住宅庭院巧妙地嵌入东侧花园，内含16间新客房，均面向绿意环绕的公共露台，其材质呼应上方历史立面。房间采用玻璃幕墙以最大化自然采光，具备高效隔热并以覆土设计恢复了上方花园。新建的花园亭面向庭院与新景观区域开放，为员工提供额外设施。

The East Wing of Rhodes House has been returned to its original residential use, providing 21 ensuite bedrooms for conference delegates, with new lifts ensuring that most rooms have flat and level access. Adjacent to the East Wing, a new lower ground Residential Courtyard, carefully and discreetly set within the East Garden, provides 16 new guest bedrooms, all opening onto a leafy communal patio echoing the materiality of the historic façade above. The rooms have glazed front openings to maximise natural light and are highly insulated and earth sheltered, with the gardens reinstated above. A new Garden Pavilion opens out onto the courtyard below and a newly landscaped part of the garden, providing additional amenities for staff.

主要施工自2020年秋季启动，并分阶段进行以确保大楼始终开放运营。罗德斯大楼的全面焕新恰逢基金会成立120周年之际，同时也标志着其启动历史上最大规模的奖学金扩展计划，目标筹集2亿英镑，将全球奖学金名额从每年100个增至125个。基金会计划到2028年为非洲学生设立每年共32个奖学金名额，体现其在全球范围内扩大申请群体与促进奖学金分配公平的承诺。这一系列新介入确保罗德斯大楼继续作为牛津建筑的重要组成部分，成为基金会、学者及更广泛牛津社群的高效可持续之家，并支持基金会扩展全球奖学金计划的使命。

The main construction works started in Autumn 2020 and were carefully phased to allow the House to remain open throughout. The completion of Rhodes House’s transformation comes as the Trust celebrates its 120th anniversary and launches a new campaign to fund the largest expansion of its Scholarships in its history, with the goal of raising £200m to increase the number of worldwide Scholarships from 100 to 125 a year. Specifically, the Trust plans to create a total of 32 Scholarships per year for students from Africa by 2028 – a key part of the Trust’s commitment to widening its applicant pool and promoting greater equity in the distribution of its Scholarships across the globe. The new interventions ensure that Rhodes House remains a magical part of Oxford’s architecture and operates effectively and sustainably as a home for the Trust, its scholars and the wider Oxford community, while supporting the Trust’s mission to expand its global Scholarship programme.

罗德斯基金会院长兼首席执行官伊丽莎白·基斯博士（Dr Elizabeth Kiss）表示：“焕新的罗德斯大楼加速了基金会培养卓越学者与研究员群体的能力，他们致力于建设一个更美好的世界。世界级的设施为聚会、学习、协作与分享提供了理想场所，并通过提升无障碍性，向本地与全球新受众敞开大门。”

Dr Elizabeth Kiss, Warden of Rhodes House and CEO of the Rhodes Trust, said: ‘The transformed Rhodes House accelerates the Trust’s ability to foster a vibrant and diverse community of outstanding Scholars and Fellows who are committed to building a better world. Its world class facilities provide an ideal place for gathering, learning, collaborating, and sharing, and will offer improved accessibility for all as we open our doors to new local and global audiences.’

斯坦顿·威廉斯建筑事务所首席合伙人保罗·威廉斯（Paul Williams OBE）表示：“我们很高兴看到与基金会共同构想的愿景得以实现。经过全新编排的空间序列在历史建筑内外自然展开，强化了其20世纪20年代的建筑特征，连接了新旧设施，并引出了通向壮美花园的诱人视线。该项目旨在承认并超越历史，释放罗德斯大楼的潜能，以充分支持基金会的战略愿景。通过在牛津市中心修复并提升其历史建筑，项目成功避免了重建新楼的需求。”

Paul Williams OBE, Principal Director at Stanton Williams, said:‘We are delighted to see the vision we developed with the Trust come to fruition. A newly choreographed sequence of spaces now unfolds seamlessly within and around the historic building, enhancing its 1920s features, connecting new and existing facilities and opening tantalising views towards the magnificent surrounding gardens. This project has been about acknowledging and transcending history to unlock Rhodes House’s potential to fully support the Trust’s strategic vision. In preserving and enhancing their historic premises in the heart of Oxford the project has avoided the need for an entirely new building.’
