KPF新作——「把花園搬進大樓」的超高層大廈！

設計 08-02

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates（KPF）已經完成了「Robinson Tower」的建設，這是一座旨在推動「可持續城市化」的高層建築。2014年通過的新加坡景觀置換政策要求，任何因開發而失去的綠化必須被新建築內同等面積的公共可獲得的綠化所取代。結合market street和robinson road所定義的v形受限場地，其所承擔的義務直接影響了建築師的方法。

kohn pedersen fox associates (KPF) has completed 『robinson tower』, a high-rise building in singapore that seeks to promote 『sustainable urbanism』. passed in 2014, singapore』s landscape replacement policy requires that any greenery lost due to development must be replaced with publicly accessible greenery in equal area within the new building. this obligation, coupled with the constrained, V-shaped site defined by market street and robinson road, directly influenced the architects』 approach.

KPF與助理建築師A61合作設計的「robinson tower」包括兩個主要體量:一個位於零售裙樓上方的辦公大樓，由裙樓屋頂空間隔開。塔樓體量的高度最大化了20層辦公樓層的濱海景觀，激活了平台屋頂景觀和封閉的屋頂花園。它的偏移核心加倍地最大化了平台的視野，避免了專欄擾亂公共區域的問題。

designed by KPF in collaboration with associate architect A61, 『robinson tower』 comprises two primary volumes: an office tower elevated above a retail podium — separated by the podium』s roof space. the elevation of the tower』s massing maximizes marina views for the 20 office floors and activates the podium roof-scape and enclosed rooftop garden. meanwhile, its offset core doubly maximizes views from the podium and avoids the issue of columns disrupting the public area.

塔的多面體塊尋求非物質化，並以不同的方式反射太陽和天空。該大樓還設有KPF新加坡辦事處，該辦事處成立於2018年，以支持公司與heatherwick studio合作設計的樟宜機場5號航站樓的委託。

the tower』s faceted volume seeks to dematerialize and reflect the sun and sky in different ways. the tower also houses KPF』s singapore office, which was founded in 2018 to support the firm』s commission of changi airport terminal 5, designed in partnership with heatherwick studio.

平台的體量略高於街面水平，這一姿態旨在增強從地面入口到中庭花園的空間感和連續性。這個中庭形成了辦公大廳、零售和餐飲空間交匯的核心，而面向robinson路的落地窗則促進了室內裝飾和街景之間的對話。

the podium』s massing hovers slightly above street level, a gesture intended to enhance its spaciousness and continuity from the ground entrance into the atrium garden. this atrium forms the nucleus where the office lobby, retail and food and beverage spaces converge, while floor-to-ceiling windows facing robinson road encourage a dialogue between the interiors and the streetscape.

KPF設計總監布bruce fisher解釋說:「這個項目的核心是在一個不規則的場地上規劃甲級辦公空間，同時進行環境檢查，這是一個雙重挑戰。」「然而，這些條件最終推動了設計的成功，同時也利用了robinson路廣闊的視覺走廊。」這座充滿活力的塔樓將自己從堅固的立面中解放出來，在獨特的有利位置整合了綠色空間，並最終在精品店和混合用途項目的同時培育公共領域。

『at its core, this project presented the overlapping challenges of planning class-a office space on an irregular site with environmental checks,』 explains bruce fisher, KPF design director. 『however, these conditions ultimately drove the design』s success, all the while capitalizing on the expanse of robinson road』s visual corridor. the dynamic tower frees itself from the canyon of stoic facades, integrating green space at unique vantage points and ultimately cultivating the public realm alongside a boutique, mixed-use program.』

KPF設計負責人robert whitlock繼續說:「robinson tower是在marina bay financial centre的KPF項目的基礎上建造的，該項目首次將這種混合用途的模式引入新加坡。」「儘管該項目規模龐大，規劃中融入了一個公園，但這座獨特的塔樓同樣體現了文脈、文化和可持續性與建築的融合。我們的有效方案及其成功實施充分利用了KPF的專業知識，為全球城市設計標誌性建築，也為密集城市區域內有限或其他狹窄場地上的建築設計標誌性建築。」

『robinson tower follows in the footsteps of KPF work at marina bay financial centre, which first introduced the mixed-use model to singapore,』 continues robert whitlock, KPF design principal. 『even though that project was massive in scale, with a park integrated in its plan, this distinctive tower similarly embodies the integration of context, culture, and sustainability with architecture. our impactful scheme, and its successful execution, taps into KPF』s expertise designing iconic buildings for global cities, as well as for buildings on constrained or otherwise tight sites in dense, urban areas.』
