Vuosaari热泵大楼由Virkkunen & Co Architects Ltd.设计，这栋大楼可以说是位于芬兰首都赫尔辛基的Helen有限公司走向2030年向碳中和能源生产过渡的重要一步。该项目能够将邻近电厂的多余工艺热量和波罗的海附近的海水热量转化为区域供热，为Helen有限公司的生产与运营提供支持。

Virkkunen & Co Architects Ltd. introduces the Vuosaari Heat Pump Building, a vital part of the transition to carbon-neutral energy production by 2030 for electricity, heating, and cooling company, Helen Ltd., in the Finnish capital, Helsinki. The project converts an adjacent power plant’s excess process heat and seawater heat from the nearby Baltic Sea into district heat that can be delivered to customers.

该项目位于赫尔辛基东部现有的主要发电厂厂址上，靠近Vuosaari港和波罗的海。新的热泵建筑坐落在两个主要的建筑地标旁边，这两栋建筑分别为：建于1987年的Vuosaari A发电厂，以及1998年由Virkkunen & Co Architects设计的Vuosaari B发电厂。

The project is located on an existing primary power plant site in east Helsinki, close to Vuosaari harbour and the Baltic Sea. The new heat pump building sits next to two dominating architectural landmarks: Vuosaari power plant A from 1987, and Vuosaari power plant B, built in 1998 and designed by Virkkunen & Co Architects.

建筑简洁的立方体形态与周边现有的工业景观相得益彰。建筑内部，热泵系统能够在冬季利用现有发电厂内部冷却水循环的余热，且一年中大约一半的时候能够利用海水热量。本项目的业主Helen有限公司认为，这类设施将是他们在2030年实现碳中和能源生产的关键因素。

The new building is a simple box that fits into the existing industrial landscape. Within, a heat pump uses the excess heat of the internal cooling water circulation of the existing power plant in the winter, and the seawater heat for about half of the year. The client, Helen Ltd, sees facilities of this kind as a vital factor in their drive for carbon-neutral energy production by 2030.

热泵大楼共有两个楼层。底部楼层包括了一间通高的主要工艺设备间，以及电气和控制室。在这些房间的上方，则是坐落于二层的机房。外部楼梯将二楼与屋顶联系在一起。建筑框架和围护结构由预制混凝土构件组成，这些构件能够实现于现场生产并快速搭建。裸露的混凝土表面同时也定时了建筑内部的空间氛围。

The heat pump building has two floors. The ground floor includes a double-height main process equipment room, as well as electrical and control rooms. Above those rooms, on the second floor, there is a machine room. A set of external stairs provides access from the second floor to the roof. The building frame and envelope consists of prefabricated concrete parts, produced off-site and erected as ready-made parts on site. The interior architecture is informed by the exposed concrete surfaces of these structures.
