这座新的绍斯波特剧院和会展中心坐落于英格兰西北部的一个名叫绍斯波特的滨海城市。它将为拥有超过35公里海岸线的绍斯波特重塑滨水区并使其恢复生机。
现有的项目地原是20世纪30年代标志性的‘花厅’歌剧院，1973年在旁边新增了一个连通的剧院。但原有的平顶红砖建筑占地面积狭窄，并且便利设施不多。
项目坐落在咸水湖边，风景极其优美。它将取代现有的绍斯波特剧院和会展中心，成为一个全年度的热门地。
设计以简洁的线条和艺术装饰风格的细节来致敬建筑本身的历史。同时，现代化的设施和当代设计则着眼于未来。
建筑语汇回应周边城市与海洋。面向城市的一面有干净、有序的外墙和几何褶皱传达出其作为城市肌理的一部分。
在其背面，通透、有趣的设计与滨水区连接互动。起伏的绿松石铁皮屋顶是对水的致意。大幅面的玻璃让视野最大化，并使游客与爱尔兰海连接起来。木制柱子和细节设计创造了一种温暖的感觉。到了晚上，建筑物通过特色照明使外墙生动起来，并着重介绍大厅的各种演出和活动。
活力滨水区
设计将建筑前沿的滨水区从一个安静的长廊变成了一个有商店、餐馆和酒吧的热闹的码头。
底层是展览空间和滨水便利设施，并且包括一个咖啡馆。在中间，一个充满自然光线的大厅创造了一个城市海滨客厅。它有露天剧场式的座位，适合非正式聚会。
长廊外的一个新码头将容纳有水和LED互动的灯光秀。多彩的条纹雨棚激起了人们对构成英格兰历史的迷人海滨小城的怀旧之情。
双临街设计
剧院和会议及展览空间都能同时使用。拥有1200个座位的剧院坐落于街道层面，位于场地斜坡的顶部。
除了最大限度地提高效率外，双临街设计还加强了行人的体验。紧挨着场地的公共区域没有车辆通行。
可持续设计策略
表演者和观众对于健康、可持续的绿色场馆越来越关注。设计团队已经成功探索并实现了许多低碳和零碳技术的应用。
新绍斯波特剧院和会展中心将成为更多投资和发展的催化剂。

塞夫顿委员会主席
经济层面影响
这个多功能的场馆与一个现有的酒店相邻，并可直通绍斯波特市的公共交通。
新绍斯波特剧院和会展中心将为绍斯波特市带来230多个新的就业机会，并预计为该地区每年吸引30多万的游客。
Southport Theatre and
Convention Centre
Location: Southport, UK
Size: 130,620 sq. ft. / 12,135 sq. m.

This proposed new entertainment venue is in the seaside town of Southport in northwestern England. It will help the town, which features more than 22 miles of coastline, revitalize its waterfront.
The current site is home to the iconic 1930s Floral Hall, a famous ballroom and a connected theatre added in 1973. The original flat-roofed brick building has a narrow footprint and few amenities.
This new venue sits on a stunning site on the edge of Marine Lake. It will replace the current Southport Theatre and Convention Centre and become a year-round destination.
The design honors the building’s history with clean lines and Art Deco-inspired details. Yet the modern amenities and contemporary design look toward the future.
The architectural language speaks to both city and sea. The city-facing side has clean, ordered facade and geometric extrusions that communicate its place as a civic structure.
On the back side, the transparent, almost playful design interacts with the waterfront. An undulating turquoise tin roof is a nod to the water. Expanses of glass maximize views and connect visitors to the Irish Sea. Timber columns and detailing create a warm feeling. At night, the building comes alive with feature lighting that animates the facade and highlights activities in the lobby.
Activating the Waterfront
The design transforms the waterfront just beyond the building from a quiet promenade into a bustling jetty with stores, restaurants and bars.
The lower level houses the exhibition space and waterfront amenities including a café. In between, a light-filled lobby creates an urban, seaside living room. It has amphitheatre-style seating for informal gatherings.
A new pier off the promenade will house an interactive water and LED light show. Colorful striped canopies inspire nostalgia for the charming seaside towns that make up England’s history.
Dual Frontage Design
The theatre and convention and exhibition spaces can be used simultaneously. The 1,200-seat theatre is on the street level, at the top of the sloped site. In addition to maximizing efficiencies, the dual frontage enhances the pedestrian experience. The public realm immediately surrounding the venue is free of vehicular traffic.
Sustainable Design Strategies
Performers and patrons are increasingly interested in healthy, sustainable venues. The design team has explored the use of many low and zero carbon (LZC) technologies.
It will be a catalyst for wider investment and development.
Councillor Ian Maher
Leader of Sefton Council
Economic Impact
The multiuse venue is adjacent to an existing hotel and has easy access to the town’s transit system.
The development is expected to bring more than 230 new jobs to Southport and more than 300,000 annual visitors to the region.
