If you were asked to picture an intimate luxury retreat, the first thing to come to mind probably wouldn’t be an industrial port, or a container crane for that matter. Ingeniously, this is exactly what visionary Danish developer Klaus Kastbjerg has managed to achieve with THE KRANE, an exclusive one-room hotel, private spa and meeting room set inside a repurposed coal crane in Nordhavn, Copenhagen’s historic industrial harbour which is being transformed into a modern residential and business district. Designed by Mads Møller of Copenhagen-based architectural studio Arcgency, the project not only pays homage to the structure’s industrial past and showcases the best of what contemporary Danish design has to offer, but also redefines the concept of luxury as a multi-sensory experience of less-is-more-than-it-looks. Kastbjerg is no stranger to Copenhagen’s waterfront having also been involved in many projects over the last few decades including several in Nordhavn, such as THE SILO, a 17-storey grain silo turned into luxury apartments, and HARBOR HOUSE, a commercial development designed by iconic architect Jørn Utzon, think Sydney Opera House, and his two sons Jan and Kim. In search for a meeting room during the construction of HARBOR HOUSE in 2005, the team used one of two industrial cranes that were on site. They were so pleased with its unique beauty that it became part of the development that opened its doors in 2010. Meanwhile, the second crane further down the pier remained unused; up to now that is.

如果你被要求想象一次亲密的豪华务虚会，首先想到的可能不是工业港，也不是集装箱起重机。巧妙地，这正是富有远见的丹麦开发商klaus kastbjerg与krane成功实现的目标。krane是一家独家单人酒店、私人水疗中心和会议室，座落在诺德哈文(Nordhavn)一座重新使用的煤矿吊车内。诺德哈文是哥本哈根历史悠久的工业港，它正被改造成一个现代化的住宅区和商业区。该项目由总部位于哥本哈根的建筑工作室Arcges的麦德斯·默勒(Mads M Ller)设计，不仅向该建筑的工业历史致敬，展示了当代丹麦设计所能提供的最好的东西，而且还将奢侈品的概念重新定义为“少即多”的多感官体验。Kastbjerg对哥本哈根的滨水区并不陌生，在过去几十年里也参与了许多项目，包括诺德哈文的几个项目，比如一个17层高的谷仓变成了豪华公寓，以及由标志性建筑师约恩·乌森(J Rn Utzon)和他的两个儿子简(Jan)和金(Kim)设计的商业开发项目。在2005年港口屋建造过程中，为了寻找会议室，该团队使用了现场的两台工业起重机中的一台。他们对它独特的美丽感到非常高兴，以至于它成为2010年打开大门的发展的一部分。与此同时，桥墩下的第二台起重机仍未使用，直到现在仍未使用。

Perched at the top of the structure is the KRANE ROOM, a 50 square metre private retreat for two, blessed with panoramic views of the harbour and the Øresund strait beyond. Designed as an abode of understated luxury, the one room space is rendered in total black as a homage to its past as a crane for loading coal. But the all black colour scheme also serves other purposes; it creates a soothing ambience and makes the views stand out. As Kastbjerg explains, “the black interior combined with the crispy white bed sheets makes everything quiet. You can feel calm, at peace. Enjoying the view as art.” In fact, visitors’ first impression of entering into the monochromatic space is soon upended, depending on the time of day and quality of daylight and sunlight, where hundreds of different shades of black unfold before their eyes. What the suite’s interiors lack in colour they more than make up in textures: leather, wood, stone and steel make up a setting of refined luxuriance, underpinned by a design of radical minimalism. All extraneous elements in the room have been effaced or hidden allowing the expansive views of the harbour and sea to take centre stage. Beds, seating and cupboards, all bespoke pieces made by Danish artisans, are integrated into wall panels while the kitchenette, shower and bathroom are hidden inside a seamless black box, bestowing a sense of wonderment. This sense is further enhanced by a separate viewing room, once the crane's cockpit, which is reached via an exterior walkway where guests can languorously enjoy vertiginous views on a leather-upholstered buttoned daybed.

位于结构顶部的是Krane房，这是一个50平方米的私人休憩所，可以容纳两个人，还能看到海港的全景和远处的resund海峡。作为一个低调豪华的住所设计，一个房间的空间是完全黑色的，作为对它的过去的敬意，作为装载煤炭的起重机。但全黑色的配色方案也有其他用途，它创造了一种舒缓的气氛，使景色更加突出。正如Kastbjerg所解释的那样，“黑色的内饰加上脆脆的白色床单使一切变得安静。你可以感到平静，平静。欣赏艺术的景观。“事实上，游客进入单色空间的第一印象很快就被颠覆了，这取决于白天的时间以及日光和阳光的质量，在那里，数百种不同的黑色在他们的眼前展开。这套房的内饰所缺少的色彩，远不止是质地上的：皮革、木材、石头和钢铁构成了一套精致的豪华家具，并以激进的极简主义设计为基础。房间里所有的外来元素都被抹去或隐藏起来，使海港和大海的开阔视野占据了舞台的中心。床、座椅和橱柜都是丹麦工匠定制的，都被整合在墙板上，而厨房、淋浴和浴室则隐藏在一个无缝的黑匣子里，赋予了一种奇妙的感觉。这种感觉通过一个独立的观景室进一步增强，一旦起重机的驾驶舱，这是通过一个外部走道，客人可以懒洋洋地享受令人眼花缭乱的风景在皮革软垫扣子床。

For the spa on the second floor, Møller eschewed the all-black aesthetic of the guestroom above for a lighter palette of grey stone but has again designed the space around the harbour views. Featuring a floor-to-ceiling glass façade, visitors can relax in the two freestanding bathtubs or in the glass-enclosed sauna or shower while enjoying panoramic vistas that blur the distinction between indoors and outdoors. As Kastbjerg explains, “with the winter weather in Denmark, we couldn’t really have a spa outside. But who wants to sit inside and miss the nature?” A similar sentiment seems to have inspired the design for the meeting room on the first floor. Fittingly called the GLASS BOX, the space enjoys magnificent views that can kick start your imagination even during the most tedious business meeting. Combined with timbre floors and an acoustic ceiling, the space is the furthest thing from cold or corporate” as Møller points out. Lest you think that THE KRANE’s luxury credentials are confined to an immaculate design aesthetic, bespoke, hand-crafted furniture and views to die for, please note that guests also enjoy a complimentary luxury electric car and two bicycles to explore the city as well as a designated concierge who picks them up at the airport, familiarizes them with the venue’s amenities and brings them breakfast every morning. Is there a more glorious experience than being served breakfast on the top of the world? We don't think so.

对于二楼的水疗馆，姆霍勒避开了楼上客房的所有黑色的美感，为灰色的石头提供了一个更轻便的调色板，但又重新设计了海港视野周围的空间。游客可以在两个独立的浴缸里或在玻璃封闭的桑拿浴或淋浴中放松，同时享受在室内和室外之间的区别。正如Kastbjerg解释的那样，“在丹麦的冬天天气，我们不能在外面有一个水疗中心。但谁想坐在里面，想念大自然？”类似的情绪似乎激励了一楼会议室的设计。巧妙地称为“玻璃盒子”，该空间拥有壮观的景色，即使在最乏味的商务会议期间也能开始你的想象。与音色楼层和声音天花板相结合，空间是来自寒冷或公司的最遥远的东西”，正如Mingler指出的那样。恐怕您认为Krane的豪华认证仅限于完美的设计美学、定制的、手工制作的家具和视图，请注意，客人还享受免费的豪华电动轿车和两个自行车来探索这座城市以及一个指定的礼宾人员，他们在机场接他们，熟悉场地的设施，每天早上给他们提供早餐。有比在世界一流的早餐有更辉煌的体验吗？我们不这么认为。
