新的汽车装卸设施的设计理念很简单：创造一个功能性的建筑，以最大限度地提高港口运作的效率，同时提供一个经得起时间考验的并能引起公众的积极反应的结构。
The new Car Handling Facility was designed with a simple vision in mind: to create a functional piece of architecture to maximise efficiencies for port operations whilst also providing a structure that would stand the test of time and illicit a positive response from the public.
其结果是，该建筑极大地提高了港口的汽车容量和移动能力，并采取了城市艺术画布的形式，将在未来几年成为大型艺术装置的家园。
NLA项目占地35000平方米，5层楼高17.9米。Plus试图提供一种与港口相呼应的结构，并在CBD的高层结构和港口的低层工业结构之间搭建一座桥梁。
The result is a building which greatly improves car capacity and movement at the port and takes the form of an urban art canvas, set to be home to large scale art installations for years to come. The development NLA is 35000 sqm and the 5-storey facility comes to a height of 17.9 metres. Plus sought to deliver a structure which celebrates the port and provides a bridge between the high-rise structures of the CBD and the low-rise industrial structures of the port.
奥克兰港口不仅是新西兰最大的城市，而且是北岛大部分地区的货运、物流和运输的骨干。
新结构不仅仅是一个交通设施，它还作为奥克兰滨水区更好的公众参与的催化剂，并在未来30年见证了城市和滨水区的发展。
Ports of Auckland forms the backbone of freight logistics and transport not just for New Zealand’s largest city but also for most of the Upper North Island. The new structure is more than just a transport facility, it serves as a catalyst for better public engagement in this area of Auckland’s waterfront and future proofs the development as both the city and waterfront evolve over the next 30 years.
Plus为这个独特的项目提供完整的建筑服务，这是Plus建筑在新西兰和奥克兰港口的第一个项目。
该项目于2018年开工，于2020年底完成。随着“灯船”的揭幕，该结构向公众开放，110米长的数字光墙环绕着汽车处理设施的西墙和南墙，作为奥克兰最新的大型当代艺术展览场地。
Plus were engaged to provide full architectural services for this unique project – the first of its kind for both Plus Architecture in New Zealand and Ports of Auckland. Commencing in 2018, the project reached completion at the end of 2020. The structure was opened to the public to great fanfare with the unveiling of ‘The Lightship’, the 110-metre-long digital light wall which wraps around the western and southern walls of the Car Handling Facility and serves as the newest site for large-scale contemporary art display in Auckland.
设计团队将汽车处理设施的外观设计为一块空白画布，由大自然以及本地和国际贡献者进行绘画。
结果是一座独特的，个性化的建筑，既实用又美观，回馈了奥克兰的滨水区。该设施的巧妙设计提供了紧凑的建筑，增加了车辆的载重量，通过垂直堆叠车辆，减少了进口车辆在港口上所占用的空间。
The design team envisioned the fa?ade of the Car Handling Facility as a blank canvas to be painted by nature and local and international contributors. The result is a unique, statement building which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, giving back to the Auckland waterfront. The clever design of the facility delivers a compact building, increasing car capacity, reducing the amount of space taken up by imported vehicles on the harbour by stacking the vehicles vertically.
除了创造一个赞美当地艺术家和创意社区的平台，该设施的南墙上还有世界上最大的基于土壤的垂直花园。
空中花园以3800多种植物为特色(包括30种不同的物种，其中75%是新西兰本土植物)。这些花园是由新西兰公司“空中花园”设计的，设计中的一切都可以重复使用或回收利用。这些植物是通过一个内置在结构中的传感器控制的灌溉系统来浇水的。
As well as creating a platform to celebrate local artists and the creative community, the facility features the world’s largest soil-based vertical garden on its southern wall. The hanging gardens feature over 3,800 plants (including 30 different species, of which 75% are New Zealand natives). The gardens were designed by New Zealand company Hanging Gardens and everything in the design can either be reused or recycled. The plants are watered using a sensor-controlled irrigation system which is built into the structure.
