DZ银行大厦是一座混合用途的建筑,由商业部分和住宅部分组成,前者是DZ银行的柏林总部,后者是由39套公寓组成。大楼的商业部分朝向巴黎广场和勃兰登堡门,住宅部分朝向贝伦大街。

The DZ Bank Building is a mixed-use building comprised of a commercial component, housing the Berlin headquarters of DZ Bank and a residential component consisting of 39 apartments. The commercial component of the building is oriented towards Pariser Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, and the residential component is oriented towards Behrenstrasse.

巴黎广场的外墙和贝赫伦大街的外墙都采用了与勃兰登堡门相匹配的水蓝色石灰岩。这两个立面的比例是相互独立的,因此每个立面的比例都适合于它们所处的城市区域。巴黎广场的立面有一系列简单的冲孔和深凹的窗台,使建筑能够自然地融入作为勃兰登堡门背景的正式城市结构中。

Both the Pariser Platz façade and the Behrenstrasse façade are clad in a buff-colored limestone that matches the Brandenburg Gate. The façades are scaled independently from one another, so that the proportions of each are appropriate to the immediate urban area within which they each exist. The Pariser Platz façade features a series of simple, punched openings and deeply-recessed window bays, allowing the building to blend naturally into the formal urban fabric which is the setting of the Brandenburg Gate.

一个玻璃顶棚覆盖了从巴黎广场进入大楼的主要入口。从主入口处的高容量门厅可以看到建筑内部的大型中庭,中庭有一个弯曲的玻璃天花板和一个弯曲的玻璃地板。一个木质的拱廊通向位于中庭两侧的办公电梯厅。办公空间围绕着中庭组织,并向内倾斜,以利用透过玻璃天花板的自然光。

A glass canopy covers the main entry to the building from Pariser Platz. A high-volume foyer immediately inside the main entry offers a view into the building’s large interior atrium, which features a curving glass ceiling and a curving glass floor. A wood-clad arcade leads to the office elevator lobbies, which are located on either side of the atrium. Office spaces are organized around the atrium, and are oriented inward to take advantage of the natural light that floods through the glass ceiling.

该建筑的主要会议厅位于中庭玻璃地板中央的一个高度雕塑化的外壳内。会议室外部采用不锈钢,内部采用木材,是项目的物质和精神核心。其他会议功能被安排在玻璃地板下的第1层,围绕着一个宽敞的门厅。它可以与位于主玻璃穹顶下的银行自助餐厅结合起来,创造一个适合宴会和集会的大空间。

The building’s primary conference hall is located within a highly sculptural shell in the center of the glass floor of the atrium. Clad in stainless steel on the exterior and wood on the interior, the conference room is the physical and spiritual heart of the project. Other conference functions are organized under the glass floor, at level -1, around a generous foyer. It can be combined with the Bank’s cafeteria, located under the main glass vault, to create a large space suited for banquets and assemblies.

第二个较小的室内中庭为项目的住宅部分服务。这个中庭允许自然光进入每个公寓的两边。中庭底部的反射池为光线增加了动态质量,从服务于住宅区的玻璃电梯上看去,效果最好。公寓的大小不一,从单间到占据顶层两层的小套房。

A second, smaller interior atrium serves the residential component of the project. This atrium allows natural light to enter both sides of each apartment. A reflecting pool at the bottom of the atrium adds a dynamic quality to the light, best seen from the glass elevators that service the residential area. The apartments vary in size, from studios to maisonettes occupying the top two floors.
