In the busy urban centre in Pinang, Malaysia, SPARK Architects recently created the visually stunning ARTE S building, a luxury residential building that resembles a spa and pool resort, giving residents a place to escape in the middle of the city.

在马来西亚比南繁忙的城市中心，星火建筑师最近创建了一座视觉上令人叹为观止的Arte S大楼，这是一座豪华的住宅建筑，类似于水疗中心和游泳池度假村，为居民提供了一个可以在市中心逃离的地方。

Located in Jalan Bukit Gambier, near the better city of George Town, this project includes a pair of tall, undulating condominium towers that boast 460 residential units between them. The taller tower of the two is stands 180 metres tall and can be seen off the island from the mainland clearly in the distance.

位于贾兰布基特甘比尔，靠近更好的城市乔治镇，这个项目包括一对高大，起伏的共管大厦，其中有460个住宅单位之间。这两座较高的塔楼高180米，在远离大陆的地方可以明显地在远处看到。

Bukit Gambir is a lush topical mountain located right at the heart of Pengang Island, which lies off the Western coast of Malaysia. The towers are incredibly unique in the way their facade undulates at each layer. This lovely effect was intended to mimic the dramatic topography of the land surrounding the buildings, which varies between steeply rising hillsides and low coastlines.

布吉甘比尔是一座郁郁葱葱的热门山，位于马来西亚西海岸外的彭港岛的中心。塔楼的外观在每一层都有起伏，这是令人难以置信的独特之处。这一可爱的效果是为了模仿建筑物周围土地的戏剧性地形，这些地形在陡峭的山坡和低矮的海岸线之间变化。

Besides just undulating, the towers also appeared layered where the balconies sit. This mimics the mountainous landscape as well, with the graduated terrace effect mirroring the gradient of the rock faces. This effect was achieved using a construction technique called elliptical floor plating, which builders augmented with an added waveform birse-soleil that very carefully, subtly, and precisely rotated each floor a particular degree to give the buildings their twisted appearance.

除了起伏之外，这些塔楼还呈现出层次分明的层次感。这也模仿了山地景观，刻度梯田效应反映了岩石表面的坡度。这种效果是通过一种叫做椭圆地板的施工技术来实现的，建造者通过添加一个波形Birse-Soleil来增强它，这种波形非常小心、微妙和精确地旋转每一层，使建筑物具有扭曲的外观。

Besides looking amazing in themselves, the towers are built with the intention of offering the best view of the ocean that one can find anywhere on the island. The taller of the two climbs 50 storeys high, while the shorter rises only 32. In each one, the penthouses at the top are sculpted from the final three floorplates.

除了看上去令人惊叹之外，建造这些塔楼的目的是为了提供岛上任何地方都能看到的最佳海景。两人中越高的人爬到50层高，而矮个子只上升32层。在每一个，顶部的阁楼是由最后三个地板雕刻。

On the very top of the highest tower sits a sky garden that incorporates two pebble-form recreational “resident club” pods. In the larger one, up to 60 people can be accommodated for events while the smaller hanging pod is home to luxury jacuzzi. Together the two pods create a wonderfully dramatic visual fro, the ground that acts as a signature for the building while also providing residents with an unparalleled view of George Town and the Straight of Pengang.

Inside, the units are entirely designed for flexibility and tropical living. They are open concept with no beams or poles, meaning they can be arranged in any way and at any time. The units are also specifically designed to bring in light and air naturally, eliminating the need for air conditioning and thereby saving hydro costs. In the common areas, the spaces are naturally ventilated and day-lit as well.

Around the building, several perimeter gardens have been planted at the base. These shroud the residential car park in lovely, local tropical plants that thrive in the area’s climate and would grow nearby naturally. This lovely green life contrasts beautifully with the modern appearance of the buildings and their shape, creating more texture for the eye to take in.

在大楼周围，基地种植了几个周边花园。这些植物覆盖在可爱的、当地的热带植物中，在当地的气候条件下茁壮成长，并在附近自然生长。这种可爱的绿色生活与现代建筑的外观和形状形成了鲜明对比，创造了更多的视觉质感。

Of course, the pools at the base of the towers are an immediately noticeable primary feature. Their clear blue water attracts the eye and gives off a stunning reflection that mirrors the undulating visual motion of the buildings, enticing just about anyone who sets eyes on them and letting calming shapes set the atmosphere.
