巔峰住宅大廈是約翰·麥卡蘭建筑事務(wù)所設(shè)計(jì)的一個(gè)高質(zhì)量再生項(xiàng)目，由三棟相互連接的磚砌建筑組成，高23層，位于倫敦北部七姐妹路和托特納姆大道交匯處。一棟23層的大樓、一棟6層和一棟4層的建筑共同構(gòu)成了以新廣場(chǎng)為中心的住宅地標(biāo)，包括163套公寓，其中60%屬于私人租賃行業(yè)，40%為經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房。這個(gè)項(xiàng)目以住宅為主導(dǎo)，可能還會(huì)納入一個(gè)新的七姐妹市場(chǎng)，復(fù)興當(dāng)?shù)匾粋€(gè)備受喜愛(ài)的機(jī)構(gòu)。

巔峰住宅大廈是七姐妹再生項(xiàng)目首期的標(biāo)志，可從周邊街道的不同角度看到這個(gè)突出的建筑。巔峰住宅大廈展示出托特納姆大道的狹長(zhǎng)輪廓，沿著七姐妹路拓寬，四層樓高的公寓樓位于零售單元上方，包括室內(nèi)市場(chǎng)空間。預(yù)計(jì)居民每年在當(dāng)?shù)厣痰晗M(fèi)340萬(wàn)英鎊。

巔峰住宅大廈設(shè)計(jì)有清晰的底座、相互連貫的邊緣和經(jīng)過(guò)仔細(xì)斟酌的屋頂景觀，兩條特別繁忙的主干道構(gòu)成直線形街道景觀，住宅大廈的雕刻體量令建筑呈現(xiàn)出多樣性。同時(shí)，建筑的規(guī)模和體量使之可以容納高密度的住房，提供最多數(shù)量的雙朝向公寓和私人陽(yáng)臺(tái)。屋頂露臺(tái)令住戶可從各個(gè)方向俯瞰整個(gè)城市。

巔峰住宅大廈的混凝土框架覆以磚塊。磚塊有兩種色調(diào)和多種圖案，使結(jié)構(gòu)富有生氣和活力，同時(shí)反映了七姐妹區(qū)使用磚塊作為常見(jiàn)建筑材料。該結(jié)構(gòu)因創(chuàng)新性地廣泛使用超高性能纖維增強(qiáng)混凝土板（UHPFRC）而著稱。這種材料薄而輕，具有鑄磚滑動(dòng)的特點(diǎn)，可以快速施工，無(wú)需手工鋪設(shè)和安裝磚塊。

約翰·麥卡蘭建筑事務(wù)所項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)表示，與使用1/3到1/2典型混凝土的典型預(yù)制相比，該系統(tǒng)非常高效。舉例而言，與試圖在托特納姆的多風(fēng)道路上手工安裝25層樓的磚塊相比，使用這種施工方法的質(zhì)量控制和可建筑性要高得多。超過(guò)290名直接雇用的工人在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)工作。

巔峰住宅大廈由固安捷公司委托設(shè)計(jì)，該公司于1912年成立，如今是英國(guó)最大的住宅租賃公司。除了設(shè)施齊全的現(xiàn)代化公寓外，該開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目還為住戶提供超高速wi-fi、24小時(shí)健身房、包裹寄存處、住戶休息室和聯(lián)合辦公區(qū)。巔峰住宅大廈有著出色的公共交通連接，同時(shí)提供充足的自行車，但沒(méi)有汽車停車場(chǎng)，反映了2021年年輕一代倫敦人的生活方式選擇。

Apex House， a high-quality regeneration project by John McAslan + Partners， is a cluster of three inter-connected brick-clad buildings rising to a peak of 23-storeys over the junction of Seven Sisters Road and Tottenham High Road in north London. Together， a 23-storey tower， a six- and a four-storey block form a residential landmark centred on a new piazza comprising 163 apartments， sixty per cent for the private rental sector and forty per cent affordable housing. The residential-led project may also incorporate a new Seven Sisters market， reviving a much-loved local institution.

Marking the first phase of the Seven Sisters Regeneration Project， Apex House is a prominent structure designed to be seen from different aspects from surrounding streets. Presenting a slim profile to Tottenham High Road， it broadens out along Seven Sisters Road with apartments in the four-storey block set above retail units including space for an indoor market. Residents are projected to spend an annual ￡3.4 million in local shops.

The Design. With a clearly defined base， articulated edges and a carefully considered roofscape， the sculpted volumes of Apex House contribute architectural variety to a streetscape defined by the straight lines of two particularly busy arterial roads. At the same time， the scale and massing of the buildings allows for a high density of housing with a maximum number of dual-aspect apartments and private balconies. Roof terraces offer residents views across the city in all directions.

The concrete frames of Apex House are clad in brick. In two tones and with a variety of patterns， these animate the structure while reflecting the use of brick as a common building material in the Seven Sisters district. The structure is notable for its innovative and extensive use of ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete panels （UHPFRC）. Thin and light， these feature cast brick slips allowing rapid construction without the need for hand-laying and setting bricks.

This system is described by the John McAslan + Partners project team as incredibly efficient compared to typical pre-cast， using 1/3 to 1/2 of typical concrete. For example， quality control and buildbility are much higher with this method of construction when compared to trying to hand setting bricks 25 storeys up on a windy road in Tottenham. More than 290 labourers employed directly worked on the site.

Apex House has been commissioned by Grainger plc， founded in 1912 and today the UK’s largest residential rental landlord. Along with fully furnished modern flats， the development provides residents with superfast wi-fi， a 24-hour gym， parcel storage， a residents’ lounge and a co-working area. Benefitting from excellent public transport links， Apex House also offers ample provision for bicycles but no car parking， reflecting the lifestyle choices of a younger generation of Londoners in 2021.
