A building clad in black rubber may sound ominous but in this instance, it’s a testament to modern design. The Soundhouse by Jefferson Sheard Architects and Carey Jones Architects was designed as the University of Sheffield’s state of the art music practice and studio facility. The striking quilted rubber envelope is a first and a technique never seen before in the UK or anywhere else for that matter.
Covering 450sq m and 3 storeys in height, the building’s unique black cube structure is set to become a landmark on the university campus, the bold and simple design reflecting the existing inventiveness of the Portobello area.
Tom Rhys Jones, Managing Director of Jefferson Sheard Architects, says;
“From the outset this project was always going to be technically challenging as it was highly innovative in terms of both the cladding and internal fit out. The building required intricate detailing at every stage; internally to meet the demanding acoustic requirements following through externally to the unique envelope of the Soundhouse.”

如此多的黑橡胶
一座覆盖着黑橡胶的建筑看起来似乎不祥，然而这实际上是现代建筑的实证。这座英国谢菲尔德大学的音乐楼是由杰弗森谢尔德和凯里琼斯建筑师们设计的，作为艺术音乐实练场所和摄影棚。引人注目的絮状橡胶外层用于建筑，不论是在英国还是其他地方都是前无古人的。
占地面积450平方米，3层楼高，加上独特的黑色立方结构，这座建筑已经开始成为校园的标志，深黑的简约的设计反映了波特贝尔地区的独创性。
汤母. 里斯. 琼斯是杰弗森谢尔德的常务董事，他说到：
“从一开始这项工程就很具技术挑战性，在外部装饰和内部供给的形式上都很具创新性。
它在建设的每个细节都要精心规划；建筑内部要使音效好且持久，外部要满足独特的外
观。”
