建筑师：SheltonMindel项目：战前曼哈顿公寓位置：曼哈顿，纽约，美国

Brief: The objective in this large scale prewar Manhattan Apartment with a long dark narrow succession of closed rooms is to create a series of organized open spaces that take advantage of south and west exposures to light and incorporate views of Manhattan’s Central Park.

简介：这套大型战前曼哈顿公寓的目标是创造一系列有组织的开放空间，利用南、西两面的光线照射，并融入曼哈顿中央公园的景观。这套公寓拥有长长的黑暗、狭窄的密闭房间。

Solution: The main core of the building is expressed as a freestanding white lacquered cube that contains the entry sequence, the elevator core and the butler’s pantry. The vestibule is partitioned by translucent glass to bring light to the previously dark entry. The pattern and glow of light foreshadows the views of Central Park beyond the windows of the apartment. The poured terrazzo floor is comprised of the palette of materials utilized throughout the project. The aggregate is a mixture depicting the colors of limestone, walnut, water, white glass, stainless steel and oak.

解决方案：该建筑的主要核心是表示为一个独立的白色漆立方体，其中包括进入顺序，电梯核心和管家的储藏室。前厅用半透明玻璃隔开，为以前黑暗的入口带来光。灯光的图案和光芒预示着中央公园在公寓窗户外的景色。浇筑的水磨石地板是由整个项目使用的材料的调色板组成的。集料是描述石灰石、核桃、水、白玻璃、不锈钢和橡木的颜色的混合物。

The exterior walls pair double hung windows into a larger scale bay system and incorporates lighting, heating, ventilating and a motorized scrim into a continuous organized window. A series of walnut millwork “hedges” allude to the park and appear to stand freely separating the living room, study, dining room and family room into an organized open plan. The “hedges” are comprised of functional elements such as fireplaces, flues, and plumbing stacks, as well as storage and media that serve the public areas.

外墙将双层挂窗组合成一个更大的海湾系统，并将照明、暖气、通风和机动防尘装置集成到一个连续的有组织的窗口中。一系列胡桃磨坊的“树篱”暗示公园，并似乎自由站在客厅，书房，餐厅和家庭的房间，成为一个有组织的开放计划。“树篱”由功能元素组成，如壁炉、烟道和管道堆叠，以及为公共区域服务的存储和媒体。

A walnut “hedge” also separates the private bedroom wing from the public areas by crossing from the family room through the kitchen to become one continuous larger scale millwork element, which bisects the narrow dimensions of the building. A large gallery space beyond the family room and kitchen area becomes the link to the bedrooms. The buildings columns are freestanding as this communal space opens up to the private areas. The bedrooms are separated by a similar wood “hedge” treatment that contains functional elements to serve the spaces.

胡桃木“树篱”还将私人卧室的侧翼与公共区域隔开，从家庭房间穿过厨房，形成一个连续的更大尺度的磨坊元素，将建筑物的狭小尺寸平分。在家庭房间和厨房区域之外的一个巨大的画廊空间成为通往卧室的纽带。建筑物的柱子是独立的，因为这个公共空间对私人区域开放。卧室之间用类似的木材“树篱”处理，其中包含功能元素，以服务于空间。

The furniture in the public space creates its own landscape along the park. Organic shapes by Jean Prouve, Poul Kjaerholm, Alexandre Noll, Finn Juhl, Jean Royere, Marcos Zanuso, Fritz Henningsen, and Martin Szekely are sculptural and contrast with the rigor and discipline of the core, the window wall and the “hedge” elements.

公共空间中的家具沿着公园创造了自己的景观。由让·普劳夫、保尔·克亚尔霍尔姆、亚历山大·诺尔、芬恩·朱尔、让·罗耶尔、马科斯·扎努索、弗里茨·亨宁森和马丁·塞克利等人塑造的有机造型与核心、窗墙和“树篱”元素的严谨性和纪律性形成了鲜明对比。

Custom rugs ground each space. In the living room a large scale berber grid is set asymmetrically in a field of tighter wool and feels similar to the texture of a raked Japanese garden. In the dining room a circular rug is woven in concentric circles creating the pattern that a stone generates when tossed in water. These elements help to further the relationship between the park outside and the internal dialog of the apartment.

每个空间都有定制的地毯。在客厅里，一个大规模的柏柏尔格栅被不对称地设置在一个更紧密的羊毛领域，感觉就像一个耙过的日本花园的质地。在餐厅里，一个圆形地毯被编织成同心圆，形成了石头在水中抛出的图案。这些元素有助于进一步加强公园外与公寓内部对话之间的关系。

Architecture and interior design are seamlessly integrated to bring light, air and the presence of Manhattan’s Central Park throughout the space.

建筑和室内设计无缝地结合在一起，为整个空间带来光、空气和曼哈顿中央公园的存在。
