来自纽约的建筑事务所Worrell Yeung于近日完成了一个室内翻新和设计的项目。该项目位于布鲁克林DUMBO社区的地标建筑Clocktower内，是一套322平方米的顶层公寓。设计团队的灵感源于公寓所享有的曼哈顿和布鲁克林独特全景。两个室内体量在作为公寓组织中心的同时，还使得生活空间可以沿其分布。

New York, NY – NYC-based architecture and design studio Worrell Yeung has completed the architectural renovation and interior design of a 3,200 square-foot loft in the landmarked Clocktower Building in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. The design of the loft was inspired and informed by the space’s unique panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Two interior volumes are the programmatic and organizational hubs of the loft, allowing for living space along the perimeter that takes advantage of the expansive four exposures of the New York City skyline beyond.

主体量表面覆盖着白橡木板，体量内部容纳了入口门厅、化妆间、公用浴室，以及其他实用空间，一个定制的小酒吧隐藏在橡木门后。该中心体量的内部设计以深色材料为主，在展现简约、紧凑的细节的同时，与外部立面形成了鲜明的对比。第二个体量平整且狭长，内部包含了运用白色材质和大理石饰面的厨房。它与中心体量一样表面都覆盖着橡木制品。不同的是，它选用了能创造出独特纹理和韵味的实心橡木板材。

The primary volume is clad in white oak panels that are shaped to create a vertical raked pattern, enclosing an entry foyer, a powder room, and a guest bath, along with other utility spaces, including a wet bar concealed by a custom door assembly. Spaces within this central volume feature dark materials and minimal, taut details, in contrast to the volume’s exterior, such as the black-stained white oak panels and marble interior utilized in the entry foyer. The second volume, long and horizontal, contains the kitchen finished in white materials and marble. While it is clad in paneling made from the same white oak species as the central volume, it is detailed with solid oak battens that create a different texture and rhythm.

虽然两个体量都使用了相似的材料，但由于橡木板之间的细微差异以及其他独特材料的运用，赋予了它们各自鲜明的特征。首席联合设计师Max Worrell说：“欣赏窗外的城市景观对这个公寓来说太重要了，所以我们将项目改造的主要元素集中在两个独立体量之中以解放周围的空间。重新定义了整个室内空间的两个体量，在本质上是由相同的材料制成的。但它们就像是异卵双胞胎一样，在规格和质感上又各有不同。”

While the two volumes contain material similarities, the subtle differentiation in the oak paneling, and the unique materials used for disparate programmatic elements, divide them according to distinct identities. Says co-principal Max Worrell, “This apartment is so much about the views, so we clustered the program elements into two separate volumes to free up the perimeter. The two wood volumes that define the space are essentially fraternal twins made from the same material yet different in scale and texture.”

石材与橡木和阳光形成了一种很酷的对比。例如水磨石地板和位于第二个体量前的水磨石整体厨房，它们与温暖的橡木就形成了对比。联合首席设计Jejon Yeung说：“石材有着很强的可塑性，因此我们在红色大理石水槽、门厅中的阶梯状Nero Marquina长凳和宽阔的整体厨房中都选用了灰色水磨石。它们为室内空间增加了丰富的对比和层次。”

Stone in particular strikes a cool, grounding counterpoint to the oak and sunlight, such as in the form of the concrete terrazzo floor and monolithic terrazzo kitchen island in front of the second volume. “We found opportunities to carve or sculpt with stone”, says co-principal Jejon Yeung, alluding to its tactile qualities, “[including] the red marble powder sink, the stepped black Nero Marquina bench in the foyer, and the large kitchen island that is of the same gray terrazzo as the floor, adding moments of rich contrast.”

两个体量也与其周围开放的、满目风景的空间形成了对比。“我们希望用黑暗且私密的入口门厅，在强烈的阳光和曼哈顿迷人的景色前创造出片刻的宁静，”Worrell说。房间内整片的白色墙壁有意与深色的窗框形成对比。这样的设计有助于减少眩光，同时衬托出窗外壮观的景色。超大的滑动门后隐藏着两个卧室套房，木制地板和石材的使用为房间营造了强烈的私密感。

The volumes also provide contrast to the open, view-soaked perimeter. “We wanted the entry foyer to be very dark and intimate, so that it would create a moment of pause before the burst of daylight and stunning views of Manhattan,” says Worrell. The perimeter walls throughout the loft are white, intentionally stark against the dark window frames that help reduce glare, while framing the spectacular views. Oversized pocket doors conceal two private bedroom suites and provide more intimate spaces through the use of wood floors and stone.

建筑原始的结构和混凝土天花板不加修饰的被暴露在外，它们在整个项目中作为一种设计表达，突出了建筑的历史痕迹和粗糙质感。Yeung说：“这是最早的钢筋混凝土建筑之一，在当时的同类建筑中算是最高的。因此我们想要让建筑的横梁和承重柱都暴露在外，以突出展示它们的混凝土纹理，并与更精细、更丰富的材料形成互补和对比。”

The concrete ceiling and structure of the historical warehouse are exposed and expressed throughout to highlight the rawness and texture of the building. Says Yeung, “This building is one of the first reinforced concrete buildings, and was even the tallest of its kind at the time, so we wanted to expose and highlight the concrete texture of the beams and columns, and complement and contrast with finer and richer materials.”
