“我们希望建筑能向广场开放,向风景开放。要看起来很空灵。就像那些有着尖锐棱角和柔和曲线的板块在不断地从一层到另一层的运动中飞翔一样。

eLement的名字来自塑造它的L。它是一个谈论运动的建筑。诗意的意图、几何性、物质性和自然性共同作用于这个目的。

客户希望有一座高环保标准的办公大楼。这个地块很有挑战性。它面向三条街道,但它的中间被另一个有建筑物的地产分割。因此,在设计方案中已经确定了L型的设计。

“We wanted the building to open up to the plaza, to the view. To look ethereal. Αs if the slabs with their sharp corners and soft curves fly, in their continuous movement from floor to floor.”

eLement is getting its name from the L that shapes it. It is a building that talks about the movement. Poetic intentions, geometricity, materiality, and nature work together to this end.

The client wanted an office building of high environmental standards. The plot was challenging. It was facing three streets, but it was divided in its middle by another property with a building. The L shape, already decided by the brief, was thus given.

为了解决如何使位于L型拐角处的入口清晰可见的问题,我们决定清空底层的大部分空间,以创造一个宽敞的斜向通道。通过这种方式,我们不仅连接了前面和后面,使入口突出,而且,我们通过创造一个广场和一个花园来强调公共空间,我们专注于使自然元素成为我们概念的核心。

Having to solve the problem of how to make the entrance placed in the corner of the L visible, we decided to empty a significant part of the ground floor in order to create a generous diagonal passage. In this way, not only we connected front and back and made the entry prominent, but also, we gave emphasis to public space by creating a plaza and a garden, and we focused on making the natural element central to our concept.

eLement的组织结构为地面层和地上四层的办公室,以及两层的地下停车场。内部布局简单明了,中间有一个连接的大厅,可以让不同的租户入住。餐厅被投射为一个独立的软弧形玻璃亭子。其投影的混凝土顶棚强化了对角线通道,并在广场的一侧创造了一个线性边界。反光的天花板使通道的高度增加了一倍,而水面则使其充满活力。1楼和4楼的种植屋顶为用户提供了宝贵的露天空间。

eLement is organized on the ground floor and four floors above ground for offices, and two-story underground parking. The internal layout is simple and straightforward, with a connecting lobby in the middle to allow for different tenant occupancy. The restaurant is projected as an independent soft-curved glass pavilion. Its projected concrete canopy intensifies the diagonal passage and creates a linear boundary on one side of the plaza. A reflective ceiling ‘doubles the height’ of the passage while water surfaces invigorate it. Planted roofs on the 1st and the 4th floor provide the users with valuable open-air space.

我们对空灵形式的建筑意图通过凹陷的混凝土板/平面的构成来表达,这些板/平面在不同的楼层上投射或退缩。运动可以被看作是 “真实的”;因此,它表现在垂直的、穿孔的铝制百叶窗上,这些百叶窗在一天中跟随太阳的移动而移动,或者表现在使屋顶和花园上的植物恢复活力的轻风上。不过,运动作为一种建筑意图,也可以在凸出的凹板及其尖角的编排中被视为 “诗意 “或 “现象”,或者人们在通道的反光天花板上的反射。简单的建筑姿态和材料的选择(清水混凝土与白色水泥阳极氧化穿孔铝的百叶窗,以及双高底层的半透明第二层皮肤,或半光铝的天花板和大厅墙面饰面),创造了一个优雅的氛围。

eLement是一个LEED白金建筑。

Our architectural intention for an ethereal form is expressed through the composition of concave concrete slabs/planes that project or retreat on the different floors. Movement can be seen as ‘real’; as such, it is expressed in the vertical, pierced aluminum louvers that follow the movement of the sun during the course of the day, or in the light breeze that invigorates the plants on the roofs and the garden. Movement as an architectural intention, though, can also be seen as ‘poetic’ or ‘phenomenal’ in the choreography of the projecting concave slabs and their sharp corners, or the people’s reflections on the passage’s reflective ceiling. Simple architectural gestures and choice of materials (fair-faced concrete with white cement anodized pierced aluminum for the louvers, and the semi-transparent second skin of the double-height ground floor, or the semi-glossy aluminum for the ceiling and the lobby wall finishes), create an elegant atmosphere.

eLement is a LEED Platinum building.
