Amstel大厦将公共交通枢纽改造成一个充满活力的新区Amstel大厦，动力屋公司的第一个建成的高层建筑完美地体现了该公司对建筑和城市设计的愿景。它还满足了对具有独特规划要求的定制建筑的日益增长的需求，并通过积极融入周围的城市结构，增加了总体质量。通过创新的设计，Amstel大厦将一个公共交通枢纽改造成一个充满活力的混合用途的综合体，以求谋生、工作和娱乐。位于阿姆斯特丹安斯特尔车站旁边，新塔楼由一座24层的住宅楼、一座国际酒店的中楼平台和带有零售和停车场的美化地面层组成。安斯特尔大厦由普罗旺斯公司委托。

Amstel Tower transforms public transportation hub into a vibrant new district Amstel Tower, Powerhouse Company’s first completed high-rise, perfectly embodies the firm’s vision of architectural and urban design. It also meets a growing demand for bespoke buildings with unique programmatic requirements and adds overall quality by actively integrating with the surrounding urban fabric. With an innovative design, Amstel Tower transforms a public transportation hub into a vibrant mixed-use complex for a living, working and playing. Located next to the Amsterdam Amstel Station, the new tower comprises a 24-story residential tower, mid-rise podium for an international hotel and landscaped ground level with retail and parking. Amstel Tower is commissioned by Provast.

作为阿姆斯特丹第二繁忙的交通枢纽，安斯特尔站正处于转型中，目前正在进行重大基础设施升级。安斯特尔大厦是这一发展的重要组成部分，将该地区转变为一个令人兴奋的新区。在现场引入动态的新公共空间和住宅功能的复杂性包括优化底层游客的流量，尽量减少建筑物的阴影，以及减少交通噪音对新居民的影响。设计的解决方案是创造一座柔软、优雅的建筑，它不仅解决了这些复杂的问题，而且与周围的直线高楼大厦形成了温和的对比。

A station in transition As the second-busiest transport hub in Amsterdam, Amstel Station is currently undergoing a major infrastructure upgrade. Amstel Tower is a vital part of this development to transform the area into an exciting new district. The complexities of introducing a dynamic new public space and a residential function on the site included optimizing the flow of travelers on the ground floor, minimizing the building’s overshadowing and reducing the impact of traffic noise for the new residents. The design solution was to create a soft, elegant building that not only addresses these complexities but also stands in gentle contrast to the surrounding rectilinear high-rises.

新的连接，105米高的塔楼和宽阔的讲台，每个都有不同的城市特色。以标志性的剪影丰富阿姆斯特丹的天际线，当从历史上的城市中心和维博斯特拉特(一条主要的大街和城市轴心)俯瞰时，这座塔显得很纤细。它的轮廓逐渐向东展开。低矮的讲台与眼前的小规模环境相接触，并激活了一个新的公共广场。经过与利益相关者的仔细研究和讨论，Powerhouse公司将底层建模为一个与现有站点网络交织在一起的充满活力的公共空间。

New connections The 105-meter-high tower and wide podium each have a different urban character. Enriching the Amsterdam skyline with an iconic silhouette, the tower appears slender when viewed from the historic city center and from the Wibautstraat, a major avenue, and urban axis. Its profile gradually unfolds eastwards. The low podium engages with the immediate small-scale surroundings and activates a new public square. After careful research and discussion with stakeholders, Powerhouse Company modeled the ground floor as a vibrant public space that is interwoven with the existing site networks.

在它的背景下，塔的设计从20世纪30年代由H.G.J.谢林设计的Amstel车站的圆形天篷中汲取灵感。天篷被重新解释为全周长悬垂在讲台上和塔楼的每一层，这创造了视觉上的一致性，为公寓提供了室外空间、遮阳和噪音保护。此外，立面中垂直元素的节奏与谢林美丽的火车站大厅全玻璃立面的节奏密切同步。圆角和不对称的形状限制了阴影在附近，创造了一个诱人的，流线型的轮廓，完美地补充河畔环境。

A tower in its context The design of the tower takes inspiration from the rounded canopy of the 1930s Amstel Station designed by H.G.J. Schelling. The canopy is reinterpreted as full-perimeter overhangs across the podium and on each level of the tower. This creates visual coherence and provides outdoor space, sun shading and noise protection for the apartments. In addition, the rhythm of the vertical elements in the facade is carefully synchronized with the rhythm of Schelling’s beautiful full-glass facade of the main train station hall. The rounded corners and asymmetrical shape limit overshadowing onto the neighborhood and create an inviting, streamlined profile that perfectly complements its riverside surroundings.

然而，安斯特尔大厦的设计不仅寻求创造建筑和城市联系，还通过为年轻专业人士提供负担得起的、高质量的生活空间，激发了更大的社会凝聚力，这一群体发现，在城市范围内找到合适的住房越来越困难。通过巧妙和创新地利用规划上的挑战和机遇，Powerhouse公司成功地创造了一座以多种方式为城市增添质量和活力的建筑。

However, Amstel Tower’s design not only seeks to create architectural and urban connections but also stimulates greater social cohesion by providing affordable, high-quality living spaces for young professionals, a group that finds it increasingly challenging to find adequate housing within the city limits. By using the programmatic challenges and opportunities in a smart and innovative way, Powerhouse Company has managed to create a building that adds quality and liveliness to the city in numerous ways.
