Studio Rick Joy Combines Brutalist Rigour with Sculptural Finesse in an Apartment Building in Mexico City 首

2020-02-12 17:33

Named after the street in Polanco where it’s located, Tennyson 205 is a five-storey apartment building in one of Mexico City’s most upscale and leafy neighbourhoods, replete with high-end malls and restaurants, beautiful parks and the city’s best museums and galleries. Designed by Tucson-based architects Studio Rick Joy the project espouses a sculpturally refined, brutalist rigour that sets it apart among the area’s mix of modern architecture and Spanish colonial revival buildings. Hemmed in on three sides, the two-unit residence features three landscaped courtyards that also function as light wells, drawing daylight into the lower levels of the building while softening the minimalist interiors with lush foliage.

丁尼森205以它所在的波兰科的街道命名，是墨西哥城最高档、最多叶的街区之一的一栋五层公寓楼，里面挤满了高端的购物中心和餐馆、美丽的公园以及墨西哥城最好的博物馆和画廊。该项目由位于图森市的建筑师工作室RickJoy设计，它采用了雕塑般的精致和残酷的严谨，使其在该地区的现代建筑和西班牙殖民复兴建筑的混合中脱颖而出。两个单元的住宅位于三个侧面，具有三个景观庭院的特点，也起到了采光井的作用，将日光拉进了建筑物的下层，同时用茂盛的叶子软化了极简主义的内部。

Housing a pair of two-storey apartments above a ground floor garage, the building is made with reinforced, cast-in-place concrete, ideal for earthquake-prone Mexico City, which has been board-formed to create a textural pattern of horizontal stripes. Featuring sharp angles and slim-profiled, bespoke casement windows of different sizes - which have been designed to frame particular views from the monumental 1940s San Agustín parish church to the neighbouring tree tops - the faceted façade transforms the apartment building into a carved urban sculpture, subtly underscored by a blackened-steel gate adorned with subtle brass details. The limited materials palette continues inside with board-formed concrete dominating both the apartment interiors and the semi-enclosed spaces piercing the building, while a variety of floor-recessed planters, planting boxes built into shaft walls, and suspended baskets with hanging vines fill the light wells with lush greenery, softening the exposed concrete structure.

在一层车库上方安置一对两层公寓，建筑采用钢筋、现浇混凝土结构，对于地震频发的墨西哥城来说，这是理想的选择。这种结构板的形成，创造了一种水平条纹的纹理图案。以尖锐的角度和细长的轮廓，不同大小的定制窗-它的设计是为了将从20世纪40年代的圣阿古斯丁教区教堂到邻近的树顶的特殊景观-刻面的立面将公寓楼转变成一个雕刻的城市雕塑，微妙地强调了一个黑色的钢门装饰微妙的黄铜细节。有限的材料调色板继续在内部，板形成的混凝土主导着公寓内部和半封闭的空间穿透建筑物，而各种地板覆盖的播种机，安装在井壁上的种植箱，以及悬挂着藤蔓的吊篮，用茂盛的绿色植物填充轻型井，软化暴露的混凝土结构。

Both apartments share a minimalist aesthetic of contemporary sophistication and subdued luxuriance. Hardwood floorboards echo the pattern of the board-formed concrete walls and add warmth, as do exquisitely crafted oak cabinetry, doors and ceilings. Craftsmanship is also on display in the travertine kitchen counters and bathroom surfaces as well as in details such as bronze hardware and leather pulls and richly tactile artworks that introduce splashes of colour and gold highlights. Furnished with modern pieces and textiles of cream and black hues, and flooded with filtered daylight, the spaces evoke a contemplative ambience. While the lower apartment is accessed through a first-floor, double height patio overlooking the street, the penthouse apartment is reached through a narrow stone staircase anchored by a black steel-plate structure whose industrial design and winding brushed-brass handrail echoes the exterior gate. The penthouse’s constrained approach is more than made up by a large terrace offering expansive views of Polanco over the neighbouring rooftops. Complete with daybeds, a fire pit and a reflecting pool, the open-sky terrace is the perfect place to sunbath during the day and gaze at the stars at night.

这两套公寓都有一种极简主义的美学，即当代的精致和压抑的奢华。硬木地板与木板形成的混凝土墙的图案相呼应，并增加了温暖，就像精心制作的橡木橱柜、门和天花板一样。工艺也显示在石灰华厨房柜台和浴室表面，以及细节，如青铜硬件和皮革拉和丰富的触觉艺术品，引入飞溅的颜色和黄金高光。这些空间充满了现代的装饰品和奶油和黑色的纺织品，充斥着过滤过的日光，唤起了一种沉思的气氛。虽然较低的公寓是通过一层，双高的露台俯瞰街道，而顶层公寓是通过一个狭窄的石头楼梯，由一个黑色的钢板结构锚定，其工业设计和缠绕刷布拉斯扶手与外部大门相呼应。顶层公寓的局限性不仅仅是由一个巨大的露台构成的，它提供了波兰科在邻近屋顶上的广阔景色。露天露台配有白天的床、火坑和反射池，是白天日光浴和晚上凝视星星的完美场所。
