萨默维尔警察局位于半乡间景观的一个关键道路交叉口，以自然植物群和住宅为界，概念设计考虑了环境和当地特点，同时为维多利亚州警察提供了既定的公民存在。

Located at a key road intersection in the semi-rural landscape and bounded by natural flora and residential homes, the conceptual design for Somerville Police Station gives consideration to context and local character whilst providing Victoria Police an established civic presence.

按照自然轮廓的土地，建筑物是地面拥抱和坐在场地内的方式，以保存原有的本土植被。建筑形式分为底层预制混凝土平台和上层Corten钢外墙。预制混凝土底座将建筑物固定在现场，为那些需要帮助和保护的人提供了一个坚实的避难所。

Following the natural contour of the land, the building is ground hugging and sits within the site in a manner that conserves pre-existing native vegetation. The architectural form is divided into a ground floor precast concrete plinth and an upper level Corten steel façade. Grounding the building on the site, the precast concrete base provides a solid sanctuary for those in need of assistance and protection.
