建筑师提供的文字说明。神户的景色令人叹为观止，向北走去，还有一个巨大的水景到南方，神户坐在一片陆地上，既是内陆又是大海。来自神户海的一个街区位于树木衬里的大道上，包括《兵库的艺术博物馆》和几个国家博物馆，500,000平方英尺的太阳城神户塔综合体通过关注细节和便利设施，为高层住宅提供了最终的服务，使居民能够蓬勃发展。设计旨在创造一个居住环境，它代表建筑、景观和内部的无缝集成，并庆祝这个独特的城市和环境。

Text description provided by the architects. With breathtaking views of Mt. Rokko to the north and a vast waterscape to the south, Kobe sits as a strip of land with phenomenal views both inland and to the sea. Located one block from the Kobe Sea on a tree-lined boulevard that includes the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art and several national museums, the 500,000-square-foot Sun City Kobe Tower complex provides the ultimate in senior living through attention to detail and amenities, resulting in a vibrant community in which residents can thrive. The design seeks to create a living environment that represents a seamless merger of architecture, landscape, and interiors, and that celebrates this unique city and environment.

沿街，一系列的低规模展馆建立了一个行人友好的体验.展馆的特色是轻轻弯曲的屋顶，金属，创造了现代雕塑的感觉和暗示更传统的日本建筑形式和海洋以外。与许多城市开发项目不同的是，这座35层、483个单元的公寓楼(外加98个护理单元)被拉到了三英亩地块的西北角，而不是房产的中心。这座不对称的塔楼位置让团队得以开发一个大型的、阳光充足的中央庭院，以及丰富多样的周边花园，为相邻街道提供缓冲。

Along the street, a series of low-scale pavilions establish a pedestrian-friendly experience. The pavilions feature gently curving roofs clad in metal that create a modern sculptural feel and hint at more traditional Japanese building forms and the sea beyond. Unlike many urban developments, the 35-story, 483-unit apartment tower (plus 98 nursing units) is pulled to the northwest corner of the three-acre site, instead of the center of the property. The asymmetrical tower location allowed the team to develop a large, sun-filled central courtyard and a rich variety of perimeter gardens that create a buffer from the adjoining streets.

在这个四合院周围，布置成一个松散的四合院，由部分玻璃围封的长廊连接，有公共设施：茶廊、图书馆、礼堂、公共浴室和专门为麻将和卡拉OK服务的房间。

Around this courtyard, arranged as a loose quadrangle and connected by a partially glass-enclosed promenade, are public amenities: tea lounge, library, auditorium, communal baths, and dedicated rooms for mah-jongg and karaoke.

在入口处，一个像日本屏风一样的圆柱形耳蜗靠近一个大而宁静的水特征。一个花园层次的长廊在中央庭院周围流通，提供持续的花园景观、便利设施和鼓励居民互动。该塔的建筑策略是在塔顶设计一个“灯笼”，里面有所有最大的住宅单元和项目的主要餐厅和酒吧。塔楼正面的组成传达了一种非常现代的设计，它的体积和极简的玻璃护栏相互锁在一起。轻柔的颜色和细致的堆积结合在一起，形成了一个细长而不对称的立面。大多数的塔式住宅都有海景和城市景观，塔的形式产生了许多角落的窗户。

A Japanese screen-like porte cochere is near a large, serene, water feature at the entry. A garden level promenade circulates around the central courtyard offering continuous garden views, access to amenities, and encouraging resident interaction. The architectural strategy for the tower was to create a ‘lantern’ expression at the top of the tower that contains all the largest residential units and the project’s main restaurant and bar. The composition of the tower facade conveys a very modern design, with an inter-locking of volumes and minimalist glass guardrails. The gently shifting colors combined with careful massing create a slender and asymmetric façade. Most of the tower residences have ocean and city views and the form of the tower produces many corner windows.

该项目的景观概念是将城市和山区的要素纳入一个独特的愿景，而不是由建筑形式分开的个别花园。山罗科有着多样化的季节性树木，是一个很受欢迎的观鸟之地，也是著名的采石场和水源。神户城的艺术节在当地人和游客中非常受欢迎。针对这一丰富的艺术场景，艺术作为设计的核心元素被纳入其中。在项目场地内，一系列相互连接的花园庭院似乎延伸到建筑本身，将内部和外部连接起来，通过自然构建体验。

The landscape concept for the project was to incorporate the elements of city and mountain into a singular vision, not individual gardens separated by building forms. Mt. Rokko has diverse seasonal trees, is a popular place for bird watching, and is also famous as a great quarry and water source. The City of Kobe’s art festivals are very popular among the locals and visitors. Responding to that rich art scene, art was incorporated as a core element to the design. Within the project site, a series of interconnected garden courtyards seem to stretch through the building itself, linking the interior and exterior, framing the experience through nature.

内部发展与建筑和景观设计相结合，以创造一个无缝的环境。室内设计理念是为墙壁和花园里的人创造一个“和平的港湾”-一个宁静舒适、美丽和宁静的地方。这个概念驱动着室内材料、色彩和氛围的选择。在地面上，轻薄的木材、白色的石材、清新的色彩和花园的景色营造了一种休闲、轻松的氛围，以配合滨水区的位置。接待处、图书馆、活动场所、茶廊和太阳市政厅都能看到一片甘美的花园绿洲。在6楼，有一个屋顶游泳池，并为男性和女性提供服务。这里靠近城市的景色，但足够高的地方可以享受到奢华的水疗环境的隐私和宁静。塔顶是34层和35层的餐饮和休息室，暗木、豪华的石头、丰富的色彩和宽阔的窗户为城市、海洋和山脉的景色创造了一个戏剧性的框架。优雅的空间结合了下面的各种景观，为居民提供了令人惊叹的舒适和机遇。

The interior was developed in tandem with the building and landscape design to create a seamless environment. The interior design concept was to create a "peaceful harbor" for those within its walls and gardens - a place of tranquility and comfort, beauty and serenity.  This concept drives the selection of interior materials, colors, and atmosphere. At the ground level, light wood, white stone, fresh colors and garden views create a casual, relaxed mood in keeping with the waterfront location.  Reception, library, activity, tea lounge and Sun City Hall all look into a luscious garden oasis. On the 6th floor, there is a roof-top pool, and ofuros for men and women. Here one is close to the city views yet high enough to enjoy the privacy and serenity of a luxurious spa environment. At the top of the tower are the 34th floor and 35th floor dining and lounge spaces, where dark wood, luxurious stone, rich colors and expansive windows create a dramatic frame for the views of city, sea and mountains. The graceful and elegant spaces combined with the varied landscapes below offer residents an amazing level of comfort a
