办公楼Ferrum 1(第16座)矗立在圣彼得堡Polustrovo区前Rossiya工厂的历史遗址上。位于斯莫尔尼大教堂对面的涅瓦河右岸,18世纪末,根据意大利建筑师和画家贾科莫-夸伦吉的设计,在宽敞的公园中间为亚历山大-安德烈耶维奇-贝兹博罗科王子建造了一座宫殿。多年来,这座乡村别墅是社会生活的中心。19世纪末,该公园是圣彼得堡上层社会流行的休闲和保健胜地。

The office building Ferrum 1 (Block 16) stands on the historic site of the former Rossiya factory in St Petersburg’s Polustrovo district. Situated on the right bank of the Neva opposite the Smolny Cathedral, a palace for Prince Alexander Andreyevich Bezborodko was built on the site at the end of the 18th century according to the designs of the Italian architect and painter Giacomo Quarenghi in the middle of a spacious park. For years, this country house was a centre of social life. In the late 19th century, the park was a popular recreation and health resort for the upper classes of St Petersburg.

在宫殿的前花园和今天的Piskarevsky Prospekt的交界处,曾经矗立着俄罗斯著名的艺术理论家和画家Alexander Benois的家庭在1877/78和1882年租用的避暑别墅。1911年,在 “整个国家的工业化 “过程中,俄罗斯机械厂占据了该地块的大部分作为工厂场所,并建造了生产设施、仓库和行政大楼。昔日的花园区已经消失。工厂很久以前就关闭了,在工厂扩建过程中建造的建筑物(其中一些仍未完工)空着,开始腐烂。

On the border between the former garden of the palace and today’s Piskarevsky Prospekt used to stand the summer house rented by the family of the famous Russian art theorist and painter Alexander Benois in 1877/78 and 1882. In 1911, in the course of the “industrialisation of the entire country”, the Rossiya Machine Works occupied large parts of the site as factory premises and built production facilities, warehouses and administrative buildings. The former garden area was lost. The factory was closed down a long time ago, and the buildings, which were erected in the course of the factory’s expansion (some of them still unfinished), stood empty and began to decay.

十多年来,在开发公司Teorema的指导下,这块前工业用地一直在进行广泛的再开发。在这个过程中,TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten已经在这个地方实现了多功能商业园区House Benois(2008年),办公综合体Seasons-Ensemble(2013年),以及住宅综合体Five Stars(2016年)。在Ferrum 1(第16座)的对面,Ferrum 2(第17座)正在建设中,具有相同的外墙方案和一个景观内院。

For more than ten years now, the former industrial site has been undergoing extensive redevelopment under the direction of the development company Teorema. In the course of this, TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten have already realised the multifunctional commercial campus House Benois (2008), the office complex Seasons-Ensemble (2013), and the residential complex Five Stars (2016) on this site. Opposite Ferrum 1 (Block 16), Ferrum 2 (Block 17) is being built with an identical façade solution and a landscaped inner courtyard.

七层高的Ferrum 1号商业中心是俄罗斯第一座使用科腾钢建造的建筑。这种抗腐蚀和极其耐用的建筑材料,其特有的锈红色铜锈和天鹅绒般的质地,使该建筑具有特别醒目的、富有表现力的外观。材料的主题是建筑中最重要的方面之一,是设计外墙时的重点。

The seven-storey Ferrum 1 business centre is the first building in Russia to be constructed with Corten steel. This corrosion-resistant and extremely durable building material with its characteristic rust-red patina and velvety texture gives the building a particularly striking, expressive appearance. The theme of materiality, one of the most important aspects in architecture, was the focus when designing the façade.

办公楼的名字 “Ferrum”,在拉丁语中是铁的意思,指的是构造外墙的材料,但同时也指的是新楼所处的前工业基地的历史。雕塑般的外墙以几何网格构建,呈现为一个连贯、动态、有机流动的松散 “经纬线 “织物。三维的条纹在水平和垂直方向上横跨矩形建筑。平坦的和突出的模块交替出现,形成了编织的错觉。

The name of the office building “Ferrum”, Latin for iron, is a reference to the material structuring the façade, but also at the same time a reference to the history of the former industrial site on which the new building was erected. The sculptural façade is constructed in a geometric grid and presents itself as a coherent, dynamic, organically flowing fabric of loose “warp and weft” threads. Three-dimensional stripes span the rectangular building both horizontally and vertically. The alternation of flat and protruding modules creates the illusion of a plaiting.

从侧面看,条带交汇处的水平线有时似乎潜入垂直线之下,反之亦然。在建筑的拐角处,精致的结构玻璃与科尔登的尖角褶皱交替出现,因此,钢似乎在玻璃体周围玩耍。建筑的顶部是一条金色的铝板带,其光泽在视觉上抵消了主立面覆层的强烈色彩。”锈在外面,金在里面 “是Ferrum的中心设计主题。

Viewed from the side, the horizontal lines at the intersections of the strips sometimes seem to dive beneath the vertical lines and vice versa. At the corners of the building, delicate structural glazing alternates with the sharp-edged folds of the Corten, thus the steel seems to play around a body of glass. The building is crowned by a band of golden aluminium panels, whose sheen visually offsets the intense colouring of the main façade cladding. “Rust on the outside, gold on the inside” is Ferrum’s central design theme.

该建筑的主入口以一个大的门户为标志,中央门厅采用双面结构玻璃,使这个空间充满了光线,并在视觉上将其与周围的公园联系起来。所有门厅的颜色设计都遵循双色的概念,”金色在里面 “的主题在这里得到了体现。因此,闪亮的金色电梯门户与冷灰色的金属表面交替出现。墙面覆盖物是由印刷玻璃制成的。

The building’s main entrance is marked by a large portal, and the central foyer features double-sided structural glass that fills this space with light and visually connects it to the surrounding park. The colour design of all foyers follows a two-tone concept, with the theme of “gold on the inside” coming into play here. Thus, shiny gold lift portals alternate with metal surfaces in cold grey. The wall coverings are made of printed glass.
