这处佛教静居处由Walters 和 Cohen建筑工作室设计，以英国乡下安静的庭院周围布置的一排坡屋顶建筑为特色。

This Buddhist retreat by Walters & Cohen Architects features a cluster of pitched-roof structures arranged around tranquil courtyards in the English countryside.
   

Vajrasana佛教徒静修处的项目场地原为Suffolk的一座农场，现由伦敦佛教中心（LBC）经营，该项目使Walters＆Cohen建筑事务所获得了2013年的竞赛奖项。

The Vajrasana Buddhist Retreat Centre is located on the site of a former farm in Suffolk and is operated by the London Buddhist Centre (LBC), which awarded the project to Walters & Cohen Architects following a competition in 2013.      
   

伦敦工作室的主要任务是整修现存的20世纪的农场住宅，以及增加居所的承载能力（由34变为60），提高交通便利性，引进新的设施，包括圣祠间。

The London-based studio was tasked with refurbishing an existing 1900s farmhouse, in addition to increasing the retreat's capacity from 34 to 60, improving accessibility and introducing new facilities including a shrine room.
     

公司发展其建议基于佛教的信条。特别是，该设计以“产生最小的伤害”为原则，力图减少对周围环境的影响，同时创造一个适当的约束和敏感的环境。

The firm developed its proposal based on the tenets of Buddhism. In particular, the design was informed by the principle of "doing the least harm", and therefore seeks to minimise its impact on its surroundings, while creating an appropriately restrained and sensitive environment.
   

佛教休闲中心占据被拆除的附属建筑的场地，新的中心采用简单的材料和形式，以产生简化的美学，支持在基地的精神活动。

Occupying the footprint of demolished outbuildings, the new centre applies simple materials and forms to generate a pared-back aesthetic that supports the spiritual activities taking place on the site.
     

“我们必须努力找寻到正确的建筑语言；精神，本质，剥离任何不必要的事物，并深深扎根到基地中”，工作室合伙人Cindy Walters说道。

项目包括改造农舍，使其适合作为主要工作人员总部使用，并将旧的谷仓和棚舍替换为住宿和冥想的空间。

"We had to work hard to find the right architectural language; spiritual, essential, stripped of anything unnecessary and deeply rooted in its place," said studio co-founder Cindy Walters.
The project involved renovating the farmhouse building to make it suitable for use as the main staff headquarters, and replacing the old barns and sheds with accommodation and spaces for meditation.

建筑周围设置的一系列庭院通过景观花园和小路连接。其中最大的是两侧包含客房、客厅和餐厅的建筑。
   
公共设施在庭院一侧有棱角的狭长玻璃体块的延伸部分中，而卧室位于广场的另一侧，有单独的坡屋顶。

The buildings are placed around a series of courtyards connected by landscaped gardens and pathways. The largest of these is flanked by structures containing the guest rooms, living and dining spaces.
The communal facilities are accommodated in a long gabled block extending the length of the courtyard on one side, while the bedrooms are positioned on two other sides of the square in pods that have individual pitched roofs.
     

胶合板和涂装的块体构成了使用原始、最少的材料颜色的整个住宿区的基础。坡屋顶提高了这些稀疏布置的空间的宽敞感。

Plywood and painted blockwork form the basis of the raw and minimal material palette used throughout the accommodation areas. Pitched ceilings enhance the spacious feel of these sparsely furnished spaces.
   

柱廊步道连接了许多构筑物和庭院，营造了周围乡村和室内花园的景色，景观由事务所与景观设计师BHSLA合作开发。

Colonnaded walkways connecting the various structures and courtyards frame views of the surrounding countryside and the internal gardens, developed in collaboration with landscape architects BHSLA.
     

从公共僧伽庭院，更加宁静和适于沉思的Stupa和Akshobhya庭院空间可以通过在深色砖墙上的大开口和穿孔瞥到。
   
Stupa由LBC成员设计，由葡萄牙石灰石制成。这个标志建筑有着光滑的雕塑感，会随着一天的光线改变而变化。

From the communal Sangha courtyard, the more tranquil and contemplative spaces of the Stupa and Akshobhya courtyards can be glimpsed through large openings and perforations in the dark brick walls.
The Stupa was designed by members of the LBC and is made from Portuguese limestone. The symbolic structure has smooth, sculptural surfaces designed to change in appearance as the light alters throughout the day.
     

二层的建筑包括圣祠，外部使用的砖也形成了内墙。这创造了一个专注于大佛像的环境。
   
高层的穿孔允许太阳光照到房间，在地板上投射出光影图案。
   
Walters和Cohen建筑事务所于1994年由MichálCohen和Cindy Walters创立。 在工作室以前的项目中，有一个在伦敦的美国学校的建筑，以凹槽石立面为特点。

A two-storey block contains the shrine room, in which the brick used externally also forms internal walls. This creates an environment with nothing to distract from the large Buddha statue.
High-level perforations allow shafts of sunlight to filter into the room, casting patterns of light and shadow on the floor.
