建筑师自述。这个为斯霍腾自治市设计的警署是一个对随意性和易近性的研究。它从城市设计层面开始着手。警署将自身定位为在公共空间提供服务，而不是专横地占用场地。它L形的布局将被推至基地的后边缘，并有助于界定一个广场。
From the architect. The police station designed for the municipality of Schoten is a study in informality and approachability. It begins at the urban design level. Instead of highhandedly appropriating its spot, the police station places itself at the service of public space. The L-shaped building is pushed back to the rearmost edge of the large plot available and helps to define a new square.

当你进入建筑，你走入一个被两个天井主导的空间，视觉上彼此通透。一个空间向公众开放并设置一个开放的接待台，另一个被用于员工餐厅。来访者可以看到一个位于二层的步行桥以及诸多看到工作区域的视角使得开放的氛围增强了。
When you enter the building, you walk into a space dominated by two atria, visually linked to each other. One is accesible to the public and contains an open reception desk, the other is in use as a staff canteen. The atmosphere of openness is further enhanced by a footbridge visible to visitors and numerous views through to workplaces.

材料的选择也有助于增添随意的感觉。高档的材料被摒弃。所有的构建都是由混凝土和木材构成的。在技术设备上也作了节俭：室内环境条件通过自然通风设备维持。
The choice of materials also helps to create informality. High-grade materials have been avoided, everything has been built from concrete blocks and wood. A saving has also been made on technical installation: the ambient condition indoors are regulated via natural ventilation.
