Appreciation towards Adam Richards Architects for providing the following description:

Adam Richards Architects近日完成了位于东萨塞克斯梅菲尔德学校（Mayfield School）的圣拉斐尔健康与福祉中心。作为一座专门建造的校园健康设施，该项目为英国学校医疗空间建立了一种新的类型学，将医疗护理、心理咨询与教学功能整合于同一座可持续建筑之中。项目体现了事务所对于创新与可持续设计的持续探索，也是全球首个将交叉层压木结构（CLT）与天然石灰岩砖砌外墙结合的新建建筑。这一实践为环境友好型医疗建筑树立了新的标杆。

Adam Richards Architects has completed St. Raphael’s Health & Wellbeing Centre at Mayfield School, East Sussex. The purpose-built facility establishes a new typology for school healthcare in the UK, integrating medical treatment, counselling and teaching within a single, sustainable building. Reflecting the practice’s commitment to innovation and sustainable design, the project is the world’s first new building to combine a cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure with a natural limestone brick masonry outer wall. It marks a new benchmark for environmentally responsible health architecture.

Mayfield is a Catholic boarding and day school for more than 350 girls, founded in the 19th century and centred on a restored medieval palace. Pastoral care is fundamental to its ethos, expressed in the school’s philosophy, “walk beside the girl”. Recognising the growing national need for high-quality health buildings across the UK, the school commissioned St Raphael’s in spring 2020 as a dedicated centre that supports both mental and physical wellbeing.

该中心自2024年9月投入使用以来，已全面取代学校原有的医务室，并取得显著成效，每日服务学生人数可达全校学生总数的10%。作为校园中的安全港湾，它为11至18岁的学生提供医疗护理、健康状态评估、私密交流、心理咨询、生活技能教育以及个人成长支持等多样化服务。

Fully operational since September 2024, the centre replaced the school’s former infirmary and has been a great success, used daily by up to 10% of pupils. It serves as a safe haven, providing medical treatments, wellbeing check-ins, confidential conversations, school counselling, life skills education, and personal development for ages 11-18.

Adam Richards Architects为圣拉斐尔中心制定了清晰的场地策略，通过将后方既有建筑整合为一个统一的整体，使校园呈现出一种围墙城镇镶嵌于自然景观之中的意象。建筑形态受到文艺复兴时期防御工事与中世纪修道院的启发。北侧，一道延伸的石灰岩墙体界定出明确的场地边界，并形成学校新的入口门户；南侧，则通过带有回廊特征的玻璃连廊与新植入的庭院共同围合出一处花园空间，深挑檐下设置的连续座椅既可抵御主导风向，也营造出一个宁静而充满阳光的过渡区域。

Adam Richards Architects’ design for St. Raphael’s adopts a clear site strategy that gathers the existing buildings behind into a coherent ensemble, creating the sense of a walled town set against the landscape. The building’s form is inspired by Renaissance fortifications and medieval monasteries’. To the north, a long limestone wall establishes a defined edge and forms a new gateway to the school. To the south, a new planted courtyard is shaped by a cloister-like glazed corridor and a deep, canopied bench that offers shelter from prevailing winds and creates a calm, sunlit threshold.

在平面中心，一处公共厨房构成建筑的社交核心。空间以一张由Adam Richards设计、并由苏塞克斯当地木作工坊Fisher Morrisson手工制作的长桌为中心展开。厨房直接面向一座隐秘的“秘密花园”——所有治疗室与咨询室均朝向这一安静的绿色空间，在保障私密性的同时，为使用者提供充足的自然采光与通风。通过一系列门厅与尺度较小的过渡空间，学生能够逐渐从校园生活的活跃氛围过渡至更加安静、受到保护的环境之中。

At the centre of the plan, a communal kitchen forms the social heart of the building, anchored by a long custom-designed table designed by Adam Richards and handmade by Sussex joinery workshop, Fisher Morrisson. This space opens onto a secluded “secret garden”, a tranquil green space overlooked by all treatment and counselling rooms, ensuring access to light and air while maintaining privacy. A sequence of thresholds and smaller transitional spaces allows pupils to move gradually from the activity of school life into a quieter, more protected environment.

中心内设有心理咨询室、治疗室、隔离室以及一间四床宿舍，并配有宽敞的接待区域。建筑整体被设计得友好、低调且不具压迫感。除了医疗与咨询功能之外，它也作为一个非正式的庇护场所存在——学生可以在这里短暂停留，喝上一杯热巧克力，调整状态并恢复精力。

The centre includes counseling rooms, a treatment room, an isolation room and a four-bed dormitory, supported by a generous reception area. Designed to be welcoming, discreet and non-threatening, the building also functions as an informal refuge, a place where pupils can pause, share a hot chocolate and recharge.

室内设计采用了接近居住空间的语言，将“关怀”的概念扩展至传统医疗空间之外。温暖的木质饰面、柔和的自然光线以及舒适的空间比例，共同营造出既符合卫生要求又不显冰冷的环境氛围。从照明设施到内嵌座椅，大量圆弧形与圆角细部设计既呼应了修道院回廊的曲线形态，也提升了空间的声学舒适度与使用体验。项目中的全部家具均由Adam Richards Architects负责选配，以确保整体材料品质、耐久性与空间气质的一致性。

The interiors adopt a domestic sensibility, expanding the language of care beyond clinical norms. Warm timber linings, soft daylight and calm proportions create an atmosphere that is hygienic without feeling clinical. Curved forms and rounded detailing, from lighting to built-in seating, draw on a cloister’s curved form whilst contributing to acoustic softness and spatial comfort. Adam Richards Architects also sourced all furniture for the project, ensuring consistency in material quality, durability and tone throughout.

圣拉斐尔中心采用天然、无害的建筑材料建造，并被设计为一座全电力驱动建筑，以最大程度降低隐含碳排放与运营碳排放。交叉层压木结构（CLT）替代了传统钢结构或混凝土结构，在显著减少隐含碳的同时，也能够在建筑全生命周期内持续储存碳。室内部分尽可能保留木结构裸露状态，从而减少额外饰面材料的使用及其带来的资源消耗。

St. Raphael’s is constructed from natural, non-hazardous materials and designed as an all-electric building to minimise both embodied and operational carbon. The cross-laminated timber (CLT) frame replaces conventional steel or concrete, significantly reducing embodied carbon while sequestering carbon over the building’s lifespan. Internally, the timber structure is left exposed wherever possible, reducing the need for additional finishes and associated material use.

Adam Richards Architects创始人Adam Richards表示： “在英国，越来越需要能够以整合方式支持年轻人身心健康的空间。对于圣拉斐尔中心，我们的目标是打造一座既具有技术前瞻性，又深植于场地语境之中的建筑——既回应历史环境，也展现鲜明而自信的当代身份。” “这个项目展示了建筑如何促进福祉。天然材料与柔和的自然光营造出宁静的氛围；平面布局在私密性与开放性之间取得平衡，并让每一个房间都能够接触到光线、空气与花园景观。可持续理念贯穿整个项目：CLT结构降低了隐含碳排放，石灰岩材料能够被重复利用，而建筑本身则完全采用电力驱动。这是一座能够触动人心的建筑——它开放而友善，同时也给予人们安全感与慰藉。”

Adam Richards of Adam Richards Architects, said: “Across the UK there is a growing need for spaces that support young people’s mental and physical wellbeing in an integrated way. With St. Raphael’s, our ambition was to create a building that is both technically progressive and deeply contextual, while responding to the historic setting while expressing a confident contemporary identity.” “The project demonstrates how architecture can support wellbeing. Natural materials and soft daylight create a calm atmosphere, while the plan balances privacy with openness and connects every room to light, air and garden space. Sustainability is embedded throughout: the CLT structure lowers embodied carbon, the limestone can be reused, and the building is fully electric. This is a building that speaks to people’s hearts; it’s open and welcoming, but also safe and consoling.”

由Polycor开发的石灰岩砖采用石灰砂浆砌筑，以便未来能够拆解并重复利用。与传统烧制黏土砖相比，其生产过程的碳排放显著更低。浅色石材立面不仅与学校历史建筑形成材料上的对话，也有助于提升建筑的热工性能。空气源热泵与带热回收功能的机械通风系统进一步增强了建筑的长期能源效率与环境可持续性。

The limestone bricks, developed by Polycor, are laid in lime mortar to enable future disassembly and reuse, and their manufacturing process is substantially less carbon-intensive than fired clay brick. These pale stone elevations establish a material dialogue with the school’s historic buildings while contributing to high thermal performance. Air-source heat pumps and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery further support long-term energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

梅菲尔德学校财务主管Richard Gordon表示：“多年来，学生福祉已经成为教育领域最关键的议题之一。因此，福祉始终是学校设计任务书的核心内容，而ARA随后提出的设计方案完全回应了我们的需求。Adam Richards Architects对于整个梅菲尔德校园以及健康中心项目所展现出的深思熟虑，可以说是一次‘改变游戏规则’的实践，并显著提升了未来类似项目的标准。”

Richard Gordon, Bursar at Mayfield School, said: “Pupil wellbeing has, for a number of years, emerged as a critical issue in education. Wellbeing was therefore at the heart of the school’s brief and ARA’s subsequent design proposals responded entirely to our needs. Adam Richard Architect’s deeply thoughtful approach to Mayfield as a whole, and our wellbeing centre as a project, is a ‘game-changer’ and has raised the bar significantly for future projects.”

这座单层建筑坐落于校园中一处此前利用不足的区域，该地原本布置着临时活动板房和停车场。项目选址在保护学校历史核心区域的同时，优化并改善了这一片区的交通组织。方案设置了无障碍平层入口、更清晰的人行流线以及可直达建筑的救护车通道，同时保持与运动场地的紧密联系。事务所自2019年起便与学校展开合作，最初负责校园可行性研究及总体规划设计。通过圣拉斐尔中心，Adam Richards Architects为校园健康设施建立了一种新的可持续设计模式，展示了当代建筑如何积极支持学生福祉。

The single-storey building occupies a previously underused part of the campus, formerly home to temporary portacabins and parking. Its siting preserves the historic core of the school while rationalising and improving access across this part of the site. The scheme introduces level, wheelchair-accessible entry, clearer pedestrian routes and direct ambulance access, and keeps close proximity to the sports pitches. The practice has worked with the school since 2019, initially developing a feasibility study and campus masterplan. With St. Raphael’s, Adam Richards Architects’ establishes a new sustainable design model for school health provision, showing how contemporary architecture can support student wellbeing.

梅菲尔德学校校长Deborah Bligh表示：“在过去一年中，见证圣拉斐尔中心不断发展完善，是一件令人十分欣慰的事情。这一专门打造的空间已经成为一个包容、友善的环境，让每一位学生都能够感受到支持与重视。”

Deborah Bligh, Headmistress at Mayfield School, said: “It has been truly rewarding to witness the continued development of our wonderful St. Raphael’s Centre over the past year. This dedicated space has become an inclusive and welcoming environment where all our pupils can feel supported and valued.”
