这是由Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects设计的Warmun老人护理中心。2011年3月12日，Warmun小镇因一次1300年一遇的洪水而受到灾难性破坏。在100间住宅需要重建期间，300位居民搬迁到库努纳拉小镇居住一年。建筑师的任务是重建社区设施建筑以及老旧的Walumba老人护理中心。该项目与当地社区老人以及社区护理中心职工密切沟通合作，基于老人的文化和社会需求进行设计，同时满足老人护理中心的建设要求，为其提供一系列服务。

建筑选址靠近学校和镇中心，以保证其能够继续发挥教育着和文化领导的作用。场地仍然位于洪水区，因此建筑设计高于2011年洪水线，即高于地面3米（码头或桥梁），并利用石制车道、人行道和楼梯与地面连接。该中心包括一些功能，满足了居民和职工的一系列生活服务需求，为居民提供一个商业厨房和“上门送餐”服务、洗衣房、公共餐厅及活动区（同时也可兼作中央会议室和社区庆典活动区）、特别私人活动区（举办特定的文化活动）以及宽敞的庭院。建筑形式回应了戏剧性的Warmun景观，建筑两座翼楼创建了男士区域和女士区域，而入口和公共活动区域的“滩头堡（beachhead）”成为建筑与场地之间的过渡空间。楼梯与坡道连接了建筑主楼层与地面。
From the architect. On the 13th of March 2011 the Giga people’s home town of Warmun, some 200km south of Kununurra, was devastated by a catastrophic 1:300 year flood event. 300 people were relocated to Kununurra for 12 months while some 100 houses were rebuilt.Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects were tasked with rebuilding the community facility buildings and the old Walumba Aged Care centre.Working directly with the community elders and the Home and Community Care staff, iph designed a new home for the elders based on their Cultural and social needs, while still complying with the requirements of an Aged Care Centre that can provide a range of services under the Commonwealth “flexible aged care provisions”.

The site was selected to be close to the school and town centre to ensure the Elders are able to continue their role as educators and Cultural leaders. This site was still in the flood zone so the facility was designed to be above the 2011 flood level – standing some 3m off the ground like a bridge or jetty, and linked to the ground with a stone pitched driveway, walkways and stairs.

The Centre performs several functions; it is the home for the residents and staff who have a range of living support needs, it provides a commercial kitchen for the residents and a “meals-on-wheels” service, laundry, a common dining and activity area which is also a central meeting and celebration areas for the community, gender specific private activity areas to allow for gender specific Cultural activities to occur and a generous courtyard for the residents to enjoy. The common area has a fire-pit to allow for the cooking of bush foods, and art troughs and space for a range of activities. It is overlooked by the laundry – a drum-like feature and the administration area.

The form of the building responds to the dramatic landscape of Warmun- the two wings of the building create mens’ and womens’ spaces while the “beachhead” of the entry and common activity area anchors the building to the land. Staircases and ramps link the main level of the facility to the ground.The roofs define generous verandah spaces, folding to provide shade and weather protection. Due to the heat of the area night time activities are very important to the community so the facility is lit with LED lights to provide safe activity spaces and to address CPTED issues raised by night time activities in the community.

The facility has been designed to maximise shade throughout the day with the use of vertical polyester shading panels for natural lighting. Many of the residents are painters and have poor eyesight so high levels of natural light are desired. Breeze paths have been carefully considered and pavilions are spaced to provide breeze paths across activity areas to provide for natural cooling.Low energy level, long life LED lamps have been used extensively. Water heating via Solar Hot water system with a continuous flow pump. Cooling is via DX Split ACs with reed switches to openings and run-down timers on all units to ensure system shutdowns. All building systems are designed to be serviced by local contractors based in Kununurra and were specified to ensure compatibility of systems across Warmun communities assets. High levels of insulation including verandah soffits.

This project provides a poetic and elegant expression of Colorbond corrugated sheet cladding and structural tubing. A reinforced concrete slab and robust circular columns support an essentially all-steel project.Undulating roof planes- essentially a series of sliced gable roofs linked by oversized 6mm steel box gutters provide overarching shade to smaller closed pavilions and verandah spaces between them. Pavilions are spaced to provide breezeway activity spaces and all verandahs soffits are lined with “Hedland” Colorbond corrugated sheeting.Serpentine steel balusters form a support for Modwood privacy screens and brass handrails.

Shading devices along the edge of the building eaves are steel frames, clad with 3.6kg/m2 Polyester Sheet that provides shade and daylighting to activity areas- dramatically backlit at night providing even light for activities and good lighting for security.The rich colours of the soffit and wall cladding are brought out at night creating contrasting night and day spaces. The colours and form of the building respond directly to the dramatic hill and river landscape of Warmun community- and when the rains come the box gutters create 6 unique waterfalls that the children of the community play under to the delight of the Elders in residence.
