作为一个建筑,Britomart酒店是一个用手工粘土砖制作的10层楼高的物体,其粗糙的表面被光滑的玻璃窗所点缀,它的体量似乎在鹅卵石小巷和码头边仓库的城市挂毯上失重地盘旋。

As a building, The Hotel Britomart is a 10-storey object crafted from hand-made clay bricks, its rough surface punctuated by a constellation of sleekly glazed windows, its mass appearing to hover weightlessly over an urban tapestry of cobbled lanes and dockside warehouses.

Britomart酒店位于奥克兰市中心一个名为Britomart的9个街区的遗产区的中心。我们的设计反应是要创造一个仿佛属于奥特亚罗亚及其人民的酒店,而不仅仅是属于住在这里的客人。我们致力于创造一种通常与这种规模的当代建筑不相关的深刻的工艺感。我们的目标是让建筑、内饰和遗产建筑感觉到无缝地融入到一个五星级的建筑生态系统中。Britomart酒店是新西兰第一家也是唯一一家由新西兰绿色建筑委员会认证的五星级酒店。

The Hotel Britomart is located in the heart of a nine-block heritage precinct in downtown Auckland called Britomart. Our design response was to create a hotel that feels as if it belongs to Aotearoa and its people, not just the guests who stay there. We dedicated ourselves to creating a deep sense of craftmanship not typically associated with contemporary buildings of this scale. The aim was for the architecture, interiors, and heritage buildings to feel seamlessly integrated into a five Green-Star building ecosystem. The Hotel Britomart is New Zealand’s first and only 5 Green-Star hotel, certified by the NZ Green Building Council.

在新的酒店建筑中,外部的手工粘土砖与酒店的传统邻居的砖块有关,而齐平玻璃窗则被详细地安排在粗糙的粘土墙中,成为时尚的、现代的嵌入物。在砖块中,99个典型的房间感觉就像光线柔和的木制小屋。根据每个房间的阳光和光线方向,有三种气氛的变化。房间的几何形状很简单,大小也很简陋。房间里的几乎所有东西都是由我们的团队定制设计的。

In the new hotel building, the exterior’s hand-made clay bricks relate to the brickwork of the hotel’s heritage neighbours, while flush-glazed windows were detailed and arranged as sleek, contemporary insertions in the rough-hewn clay walls. Within the brick mass, the 99 typical rooms feel like softly lit timber cabins. There are three atmospheric variations based on each room’s orientation to sun and light. The rooms are simple in geometry and humble in size. Almost everything in the rooms are custom designed by our team.

五个顶层套房更加宽阔,有私人屋顶露台,以城市景观为背景。房间里的摄影作品都是精心委托拉斯-弗拉特(Ngāti Kahungungu)和基兰-斯科特拍摄的。这些图片并排摆放,从两个角度捕捉兰亭,通过两个不同的文化视角诠释土地、海洋和天空。

The five penthouse suites are more expansive, with private rooftop terraces enjoying the cityscape as their backdrop. The rooms feature photography carefully commissioned from Russ Flatt (Ngāti Kahungungu) and Kieran Scott. These images sit side by side, capturing The Landing from twin perspectives, interpreting the land, sea and sky through two different cultural lenses.
