高級、現代的外立面

設計 06-07

Archimatika為曼哈頓設計了一個現代化的高層住宅方案。「The Snail」優先考慮在快節奏的大都市中緩慢生活，提供典型的曼哈頓住房通常缺乏的居住便利設施。

在提議脫離紐約市快節奏的生活方式的同時，該方案將城市結構與鋼架結構上方的鑲嵌型的混凝土外立面融合在一起。

Archimatika has designed a modern high rise residential scheme for Manhattan. 「The Snail」 prioritizes slow living in the high-paced metropolis, providing residential amenities usually lacking in typical Manhattan housing. While proposing a departure from New York City』s fast-paced lifestyle, the scheme blends with the city』s urban fabric with mosaic concrete facades over a steel frame structure.

在外觀上，鑲嵌型的混凝土外立面用現代材料和技術重新詮釋了傳統的紐約裝飾技術。

該方案的特點是聚合物混凝土和兩種類型的大理石，形成了一個彎曲的拋光的布滿斑點的棕色赤土塊與大理石點綴。這些混凝土元素突出了一個黃銅包層的入口和彎曲的窗戶，提供了流動、通風的節奏。

On the exterior, a mosaic concrete facade reinterprets a traditional New York ornamentation technique with modern materials and technologies. The scheme features polymer concrete with two types of marble, resulting in a curved, polished block of warm terra-cotta brown speckled with complimenting marble. These concrete elements are accentuated with a brass-clad entrance and curved windows, offering a fluid, airy rhythm.

該方案包含30套公寓，16個空間布局，面積從290平方英尺到1830平方英尺不等，旨在創造一個由年輕專業人士、家庭和年長租戶組成的多樣化租戶組合。

概念上的想法是通過所有的設計元素來創造一個舒適的居住環境:安全的落腳點，周到的空間安排，舒適的觸感材料。

The scheme contains 30 apartments with 16 spatial layouts ranging from 290 square feet to 1830 square feet, aiming to create a varied tenant mix of young professionals, families, and older tenants. The conceptual idea is to create a comfortable living environment translated through all design elements: a safe point of arrival, thoughtful space arrangement, and pleasant tactile materials.

在私人區域和公共區域之間的緩衝區允許從街道到家庭的過渡。入口處的大堂布置的親切熱情；下面的樓層提供了多功能的空間，如健身房，花園，理髮店酒吧，雪茄室和工作空間。從街道到家庭的漸變從一樓的咖啡館開始，一直延伸到晚上變成酒吧的理髮店。

The gradual buffer zone between private and public areas allows for a gentle transition from street to home. At the point of entrance, the lobby is intimate and welcoming; the following levels offer multifunctional spaces like gym, garden, barber shop bar, cigar room, and work space. The gradient shift from the street to home starts on the first-floor cafe, leading up to a barber shop, which becomes a bar in the evening.

用建築師的話來說，「這個項目的目的是在紐約創造一個新的住宅類型，即不同文化和體驗的大熔爐。它重新考慮了一個典型的家庭用途，同時實現了獨特的設計特點，以最大限度地利用空間和便利設施。」

In the words of the architects, 「this project aims to create a new typology of housing in New York, the melting pot of different cultures and experiences. It has re-thought a typical home purpose while implementing unique design characteristics to maximize the use of space and amenities.」
