比利时,安特卫普, 公园大楼 / farris事务所

在比利时,最近完工的一座“公园大楼”成为了安特卫普(比利时北部一港市)最高的建筑之一,它经由建筑师事务所Studio Farris设计,坐落在安特卫普历史有名的文化商业区附近,也刚好靠近海港区域。这栋大楼由于新颖突出的外观,而得以扮演整座城市的标志性地界的角色。

这栋78米高的“公园大楼”,它设计的主要目标是要最大程度地扩展楼层内部空间的灵活性,让大楼在未来的几年里,能够发挥广范围、多层次的不同功能。迄今为止,大楼的最底层作为商业区域而存在,而大楼的上层则有360套单元房用以居住。整栋楼层以其不同规格的结构设计,向人们提供大小不尽相同的公寓套房和办公间,这样一来,就可以满足许多不同年龄段的人群对于舒适的生活空间的不断增长的需求。

“公园大楼”的每个单元房,都有一个属于它自己的用来抵挡强风的阳台,独具特色的挡风玻璃面板遍及整个建筑的楼层,它不仅可以减少强风带给人们的不适感,也可以很好地缓释人们由于身处高处而产生的眩晕。然后呢,随着迷人又不停变化的玻璃面板下的光影转换,一个有趣而又层次鲜明的外层结构就这样映入眼帘了!


studio farris’ park tower in antwerp sports a rhythmically layered façadephoto by lumecore/toon grobet

designed by studio farris, the recently completed ‘park tower’ in belgium now stands as one of antwerp’s tallest buildings. situated in close proximity to the historic town center, as well as the region’s harbor district, the structure’s striking exterior serves as a landmark gateway to the city.

climbing to a total height of 78 meters, the project’s primary objective was to maximize internal flexibility, allowing the building to host a range of different functions over future years. today, the tower hosts commercial spaces on the ground floor and 360 living units above. offering studios and apartments in different sizes, the scheme responds to today’s growing need for comfortable living space for a diverse range of age groups.

each unit has its own private terrace, protected from strong gusts of wind. throughout the design, glass panels have been positioned reduce wind discomfort and reduce the effects of vertigo. consequently, a playful, layered façade has been established that creates a intriguing dynamic of constantly changing light and shadow.
