建筑师的。

From the architect.

这片土地，作为悉尼维多利亚公园布朗区重建区的一部分，重新被填上和重新定义，是一个又长又薄的地方。一个岛屿遗址。一座“高大”的建筑占据着工地的北端，而“长”建筑则沿着德弗里斯大道的弧形。

The site, reclaimed and redefined as part of the Victoria Park brown field redevelopment precinct in Sydney, is long and thin. An island site. A ‘tall’ building holds the northern end of the site whilst the ‘long’ building follows the arc of Defries Avenue.

这座“高楼”被组装成一系列堆叠的盒子。利用城市的景观，内部居住地区被推近了建筑的边缘。作为对内部计划的回应，盒子被拉在水平和正面之间。

The ‘tall’ building is assembled as a series of stacked boxes. Taking advantage of the city views, internal living areas are pushed closer to the building edge. In response to the internal planning the boxes are stretched and pulled between levels and facades.

“高楼”是由库珀广场的边缘定义的，而德弗里斯大道的弧形则定义了“低矮”建筑。

Whilst the ‘tall’ building is defined by the edge of Cooper Place, the sweeping arc of Defries Avenue defines the ‘low’ building.

为了利用太阳能通道，公寓向北倾斜。突出的海湾窗户，包括单层和双高度，使公寓卧室更接近外部外观，进一步生动的建筑形式。

To take advantage of the solar access, apartments are turned towards the north. Projecting bay windows, both single level and double height, allow apartment bedrooms to be closer to the external façade, further animating the building form.

在街道一级，零售用途与大型有盖露台的混合使用激活了“高大”建筑的基础。露台区域折叠成两座建筑物之间的“口袋公园”。这个填隙空间为两座建筑提供了一个入口前厅，而通往“长方形”建筑的悬臂则增加了进入建筑物的戏剧性。在南端，有一个双高度入口空间，带有超大的引航员，支撑着大楼的角落。

At street level a mix of retail uses with a large covered terrace activates the base of the ‘tall’ building. The terrace area folds into the ‘pocket park’ between the two buildings. This interstitial space provides an entry forecourt to both buildings whilst the cantilever to the ‘long’ building heightens the drama of procession into the building. At the southern end a double height entry space with oversized piloti hold the corner of the building.

 Typical Floor Plan

APEX的14层“高”建筑和6层“长”楼由153套公寓组成.一个400平方米的屋顶花园露台创造了一个公园般的空间，有座位区、树荫树、烧烤台和室外电影院。

The 14-storey ‘tall’ building and 6-storey ‘long’ building of APEX comprise 153 apartments. A 400sqm rooftop garden terrace creates a park-like space with seating areas, shade trees, a BBQ deck and an outdoor cinema.
