交錯的立面——國外租賃公寓的設計

設計 06-11

近年來，溫哥華市出台了住房政策，以解決當前和未來在不斷變化的城市環境中對住房負擔能力和選擇的需求。新政策允許重新規划具有戰略意義的地段，以允許更高的高度和密度，換取開發商承諾提供和經營租住房屋60年或終身壽命。

為了應對這些挑戰，Duke借鑒了英國的先例，設計了一種新的租賃建築類型。Duke是一個14層的混合用途開發項目，12層高的住宅租賃公寓位於一個兩層高的商業平台之上。該單元組合包括25%的兩居室家庭單元，其中一居室和工作室單元構成了平衡。

In recent years, the City of Vancouver introduced housing policies to address current and future needs for housing affordability and choice in the ever-evolving urban environment. The new policies allow strategically located sites to be rezoned to permit greater height and density in exchange for developers committing to provide and operate rental housing for a period of 60 years or for the life of the building. The Duke responds to these challenges with a new rental building typology inspired by precedents from the UK. The Duke is a 14-storey mixed-use development with 12-storeys of residential rental accommodation located above a two-storey commercial podium. The unit mix comprises 25% two-bedroom family units with one-bedroom and studio units making up the balance.

為了實現作為租賃開發項目的經濟可行性，該項目必須在城市規定的14層高度限制內實現相對較高的密度。使用與地塊線相背離的典型雙體走廊開發形式無法實現經濟可行性所需的密度。為了達到所需的密度，生活單元被推到地塊線上，從而容納更多的單元。

將單元定位在場地的周邊，形成了一個圖形/平面圖配置，在中心有一個被開發作為一個高聳的露天循環空間，用於進入單元。高強度鋼和聚四氟乙烯薄膜結構懸掛在露天中庭上方，以保護空間不受元件的影響，其中一部分通過空隙延伸到廣闊的屋頂公共露台的遮蔽部分。

To achieve economic viability as a rental development, the project had to achieve a relatively high density within a 14-storey height limit imposed by the City. Use of a typical double-loaded corridor form of development set back from the lot lines could not realize the density required for economic viability. To achieve the required density, the living units are pushed out to the lot lines, thereby accommodating a greater number of units on the site. Positioning the units at the perimeter of the site created a figure/ground plan configuration with a void at the centre that was developed as a soaring open-air circulation space to access the units. A high-tensile steel and Teflon membrane structure is suspended above the open-air atrium to protect the space from the elements, with portions extending past the void to shelter portions of the extensive rooftop communal terrace.

該場地的梯形形狀為中庭創造了一個動態的空間質量，通過在白色飾面背景下的多色入口門的發揮，中庭的空間質量得到了進一步的增強。一個垂直朝南的狹縫可以讓人看到中庭空間的進出；一個18米高的粉紅色懸掛藝術裝置將一縷縷彩光照進明亮的白色中庭。

三個公共戶外景觀露台跨越陽光明媚的縫隙，鼓勵居民之間即興的社交互動。兩間便利設施房間位於最高層，有直接通往屋頂平台的樓梯通道，包括兒童遊樂區、都市農業區、養狗區和帶燒烤區的社交座椅。

The trapezoidal shape of the site creates a dynamic spatial quality to the atrium that is further enhanced through the play of multi-coloured entrance doors against a backdrop of white finish surfaces. A narrow, vertical south-facing slot provides glimpses into and out of the atrium space; while an 18-metre high, pink-coloured hanging art installation washes shafts of coloured light into the brilliant white atrium. Three communal outdoor landscaped terraces span the sunlit slot to stimulate impromptu social interactions between residents. Two amenity rooms are located on the uppermost floors with direct stair access to the rooftop terrace amenities that includes a children』s play zone, urban agriculture, a dog-friendly space, and social seating with a barbeque area.

租賃單元面向外部，採用交錯的立面處理，反映了在相鄰的主幹道上經過的交通模式的變化。該建築具有堅固的特性和質量，特點是砌體覆層採用鋼和玻璃飾面。工作室單元設有淺淺的「朱麗葉」陽台，而比較大的家庭單元有較大的露天陽台。

居民們壓倒性的積極反應表明，Duke 可能已經樹立了一個重要的先例——溫哥華未來的許多發展很可能會遵循這個先例。

The rental units are oriented outward, with a staggered elevational treatment that reflects the shifting nature of the traffic pattern passing by on the adjacent arterial thoroughfare. The building has a robust character and quality that features masonry cladding with steel and glass finishes. Studio units have shallow 『Juliet』 balconies, while larger family units feature larger projecting balconies. The overwhelmingly positive response from residents suggest that The Duke may have set an important precedent – one likely to be followed by many future developments in Vancouver.
