Cardero是一座现代化的方尖碑，标志着温哥华市中心的入口，同时承认其位于两个城市网格的交汇处的独特环境。
Cardero is a modern obelisk marking the entrance to downtown Vancouver while acknowledging its unique setting at the intersection of two city grids.
Cardero距离温哥华壮观的Coal Harbour海滨只有两个街区，它用一个引人注目的混合用途开发项目取代了一个老化的办公大楼–它是西乔治亚大道上的一个关键焦点，位于市中心的入口处–与它的黄金位置和社区的当代需求相称。
Located just two blocks from Vancouver’s spectacular Coal Harbour waterfront, Cardero replaces an aging office building – commanding a key focal point on the prominent thoroughfare of West Georgia, at the gateway to downtown – with a striking mixed-use development befitting its prime location and the contemporary needs of the community.
该建筑的形式表达被附近的环境所激活，这影响了外墙和景观设计。住宅楼南面和西面的建筑遮阳板是一个标志性的特征，给建筑带来实用性和独特的身份。这些折纸式的遮阳板的灵感来自于周围的航海环境–邻近港口的海鸥和水上飞机以及附近松鸡山的悬挂式滑翔机。钢制遮阳板经过镀锌处理，并在车间涂成白色，以提供高质量的表面和干净的无缝表达。雕塑形式的特点是深倾斜的V字形，提供了遮阳和隐私，同时减少了太阳辐射；这是一种公共艺术的形式，赋予了被动的可持续性。
The building’s formal expression is activated by the neighborhood context, which informs the facade and landscape design. The architectural sunshades on the residential tower’s south and west facades are an iconic feature, giving both practicality and a unique identity to the building. The origami-like screens were inspired by the nautical surroundings – seagulls and seaplanes in the adjacent harbor and hang-gliders that alight from nearby Grouse Mountain. The steel sunshades are galvanized and shop-painted white to provide a high-quality finish and clean seamless expression. Characterized by deeply angled V-shapes, the sculptural forms provide shading and privacy while reducing solar heat gain; a form of public art that imparts passive sustainability.
周边环境也为Cardero引人注目的几何形状提供了参考。该设计对项目的独特位置做出了回应，在这个支点上，来自Gastown的旧城市网格与现代的、正交的市中心网格相交。一个几何图形与东部的Gastown网格有关，然后旋转和断裂，形成另一个几何图形，处理西部的市中心网格。在西乔治亚街，该建筑包括一个细长的26层塔楼，让人想起邻近的高层建筑的规模。然后，沿着西彭德街，规模下降到21层，退到背景中，与邻近的住宅塔楼相得益彰。这种双重身份使该建筑具有独特的形式，并减少了整体感知的质量。
The surrounding context also informed Cardero’s striking geometry. The design responds to the project’s unique location at a pivot point where the old city grid from Gastown intersects with the modern, orthogonal downtown grid. One geometry relates to the eastern Gastown grid, then rotates and fractures to take form in another geometry addressing the downtown grid to the west. At West Georgia Street, the building comprises a slender 26-story tower, recalling the scale of the adjacent hi-rises. Then, along West Pender Street, the scale drops to 21 stories, receding into the background to compliment the neighboring residential towers. This dual identity gives the building its unique form and reduces the overall perceived mass.
Cardero位于一个四层的裙楼之上，拥有地面零售和45,000平方英尺的联合办公空间，包括118个市场住宅单位，其中60%适合家庭居住，实现了城市增加家庭导向住房的重要目标。这些单元的设计是为了将温哥华壮观的水景和山景框起来，并提供创造性的解决方案，使居民的可用性最大化。特别关注的是厨房的设计，包括方便、实用的物品，创造一个无杂乱的空间–例如，隐藏式抽油烟机和位于较低台面的集成电视。现场设施包括多功能空间、公共屋顶平台和城市农业用地。
Sitting atop a four-story podium with at-grade retail and 45,000 ft2 of co-working space, Cardero includes 118 market residential units, 60% of which are suitable for families, addressing the city’s crucial goal of increasing family-oriented housing. The units were designed to frame the spectacular water and mountain views of Vancouver and to provide creative solutions to maximize usability for residents. Special attention was dedicated to the kitchen design including convenient, functional items that create a clutter-free space – e.g. concealed range hoods and integrated TVs on lower counters. On-site amenities include multi-purpose spaces, a common roof deck, and urban agricultural plots.
除了南面和西面的遮阳外，还加入了一些可持续发展的功能，以获得LEED金奖认证，包括雨水管理、高性能的双层玻璃窗墙、用于自然通风的可操作窗户、含有回收成分的混凝土和个性化的热控制。该设计还允许连接到未来的社区区域能源系统。
Supplementing the solar shading on the south and west elevations, several sustainability features were incorporated to achieve LEED Gold certification including stormwater management, high-performance double-glazed curtain window wall, operable windows for natural ventilation, concrete with recycled content, and personalized thermal control. The design also allows for connection to a future neighborhood district energy system.
