美国Neumann Monson建筑事务所在爱荷华州设计建造了一座城市公共大楼，建筑有着聚碳酸酯墙体和高窗，让阳光能够进入到室内。
这座建筑位于爱荷华州南部地区，毗邻娱乐区和规划住宅区。
Polycarbonate walls and a row of tall window boxes bring diffused sunlight into the Iowa City Public Works building by US firm Neumann Monson Architects.
The low-lying building is located just south of Iowa City's downtown district, near a recreational area and a future housing development.

这座建筑面积为99294平方英尺（约9225平方米），其中包含了城市街道和水部门，包含有所有的设备和机动车。
当地Neumann Monson建筑事务所认为：“该项目属于14英亩的总体规划的先驱，而这个总体规划的目的是整合与升级一系列老化的市政运营策略。”
Totalling 99,294 square feet (9,225 square metres), the facility houses the city's street and water departments, including all of their equipment and vehicles.
"This project represents the ambitious first step in a 14-acre master plan to consolidate and upgrade a scattered set of ageing municipal operations," said local firm Neumann Monson Architects.

建筑布局呈现为矩形，应用了50英尺（15米）的模块化设计，适应未来的变化，在材料的选择上，建筑师应用了高度耐久性材料，具有低维护和低成本的特点。
建筑结构由混凝土和金属结合而成，周围的墙体则由预制混凝土面板建造而成。
Rectangular in plan, the building was designed using 50-foot (15-metre) modules to accommodate future changes and additions. Materials were chosen for being highly durable, low-maintenance and cost-effective.
The structure is made of concrete and metal, and perimeter walls consist of precast concrete panels.

建筑师说：“外部面板尽量宽大，这样就能够减少接缝。”
在南北立面上，建筑师应用了大型聚碳酸酯面板，让柔和的日光进入室内。
"The exterior panels were maximised in width as much as possible to reduce the number of joints," the studio said.
On the north and south facades, the architects incorporated large swaths of polycarbonate to bring in soft daylight.

部分采光来源于具有韵律感的高窗和集成变色LED屏，窗户沿着东立面排列，面对着一条道路和规划住宅区。
设计团队说：“连接南北的自行车道人流较多，这也构成了边缘条件，让人们拥有了存在感和生活的节奏感。”
Additional daylight is provided by a rhythmic series of tall, projecting windows with integrated colour-changing LEDs. The windows line the east facade, which overlooks a pathway and the planned residential neighbourhood.
"It sets an edge condition for the well-trafficked bike trail that links recreational grounds to the north and south, establishing a civic presence and measured cadence," the team said.

建筑的主要入口位于西侧，服务于工作人员和机动车辆，大约12英尺（3.6米）的雨棚遮盖着存放于室外的设备。
在内部，建筑拥有主要楼层和夹层。
The building's main entrance, for both workers and vehicles, is on the west. A 12-foot (3.6-metre) canopy shelters equipment being stored outdoors.
Inside, the building has a main floor and mezzanine.

主要楼层包含有一个大型停车场、办公室、工作区、商店、洗漱区，以及用于存放零部件的储物区。
夹层设计有叉车通道，也拥有额外的存储空间、标志商店、设备间以及电气间。
The main level encompasses a large parking area, offices, workstations, multiple shops, a wash bay and storage space for items like signs and parts.
The mezzanine, which has forklift access, holds additional storage space, a sign shop, equipment rooms and an electric room.

室内空间充满了光线，这是因为建筑应用了聚碳酸酯墙体和外部开窗，其中还包含有40个天窗，设计团队认为，自然采光“给人们带来了良好的工作环境”，也降低了能源的消耗。
其他可持续元素包含有电动汽车充电站、再生水的应用，以及光伏面板的应用，该项目也将获得来自美国绿色建筑委员会的LEED金奖认证。
总体来说，该项目已经满足多项标准。
设计团队认为：“我们的目的是创造这样一个空间，不仅仅能够满足客户的功能、进度，以及预算的需求，同时还能够给员工们带来有尊严、安全，且健康的工作场所，也尊重周边社区和环境。”
Interior rooms are filled with diffused light owing to polycarbonate walls and exterior windows, including 40 skylights. The natural light "provides a superior work environment" and helps reduce the building's energy consumption, the team said.
Other sustainable elements include charging stations for electric vehicles, the use of reclaimed water, and plans to add a photovoltaic array. The project is anticipated to earn LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council.
Overall, this project has met a multitude of goals, the team said.
"The aim was to create a space that not only meets the client's functional, schedule and budgetary needs but also provides all employees a dignified, safe and healthy space to work while respecting the adjacent neighborhoods and environment," the team said.

“人们可以享受现代设施运营成本的降低以及员工效率的提升。”
Neumann Monson建筑事务所的其他爱荷华州项目包含有位于Des Moines的现代风格市政大楼，这座建筑有着可调节窗户和中央院落，除此之外，该事务所还将一座19世纪50年代的农舍改造为表达“低调的新与旧”的住宅。

"The citizens will enjoy reduced operational costs and increased staff efficiencies of a modern facility."
Other Iowa projects by Neumann Monson Architects include a modern-style municipal services building in Des Moines that features operable windows and a central courtyard and the conversion of an 1850s farmhouse into a home that embodies an "understated choreography of new and old".
