這座高檔住宅樓巧妙地運(yùn)用了石灰?guī)r、金屬及玻璃地組合,與高線公園附近金屬制品及肉類加工區(qū)杰出的鋼鐵窗戶相呼應(yīng)。
西二十一街500號(hào)統(tǒng)一錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的建筑語(yǔ)言,在小尺度上在融合當(dāng)代豐富物質(zhì)特征,并展現(xiàn)法國(guó)城堡風(fēng)格及對(duì)稱美感。大樓采用小巧石灰?guī)r方塊,體現(xiàn)優(yōu)雅性與溫暖感。材料色調(diào)與建筑的周?chē)h(huán)境相得益彰,并融入常見(jiàn)窗戶處理方式,打造清新的外立面。和切爾西區(qū)倉(cāng)庫(kù)類似的涂漆鋁框圍繞正交的窗戶網(wǎng)格,展現(xiàn)金屬構(gòu)件的比例變化。
窗戶的布置參考了石灰?guī)r立面的分割以及建筑與高線公園之間的敏感關(guān)系。在西面,這些石灰?guī)r方塊隨意布置,要么穿入墻壁,要么從墻壁向外伸出。這種富有表現(xiàn)力的處理也吸引了高線公園上的路人,體現(xiàn)設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)該項(xiàng)目所處環(huán)境的認(rèn)識(shí)。
大樓結(jié)構(gòu)沿著高架公園后退,向南延伸以在保留城市的開(kāi)放特征,在方便游客欣賞城市美景的同時(shí),保護(hù)居民的隱私。二層露臺(tái)種植了茁壯的樹(shù)木,為大樓設(shè)置充足的綠色空間。該露臺(tái)充當(dāng)了居民與公園常年人流之間的屏障。
A refined composition of Iimestone, metaI, and gIass, the Iuxury residentiaI buiIding mirrors the High Line’s prominent metalwork and the Meatpacking District’s steel windows.
500 West 21st Street unifies intricate architectural languages – wedding a contemporary and rich materiality with an economy of scale recalls the style and symmetry of French chateaus. The building’s application of limestone, rendered in discreet blocks, evokes elegance and warmth. The palette complements the building’s immediate surroundings, merging a fresh facade with a familiar window treatment. Reminiscent of the Chelsea warehouse aesthetic, painted aluminium frames enclose an orthogonal window grid and showcase the metalwork’s variations in scale.
The depth of the window fabric references the limestone patterning and the building’s sensitivity to its relationship to the High Line. On its western face, the blocks either appear to punch into the wall or protrude from it in random placements. The energy of this expression invites High Line passers-by to engage with the facade – an effect that communicates the team’s recognition of its context.
The building’s massing sets back along the elevated park, stepping down to the south to preserve light, openness and glimpses of the city for visitors and maintain privacy for residents. The resulting second floor terrace contains a substantial green amenity for the building, which is planted with fullgrowth trees. It acts as a screen between residents and the constant flow of people in the park.
