艾伦街120号位于曼哈顿下东区，由16个带家具的单间和4个带家具的公寓组成，还有一个商业空间。Grzywinski + Pons设计了该建筑、内部装修和大部分家具。该项目位于经典的伦敦东区唐人街的一个填充地块上，虽然非常狭窄，但它是一个街区，因此有艾伦街和乌节街的正面。为了在如此狭窄的空间内容纳允许的楼层面积，我们将南北轴线上的建筑分流，在艾伦街一侧创造了一个细长的十层塔楼（这是一条更宽阔的大道，可以看到引人注目的天际线），在狭窄的果园街有一个五层楼的体量，在平面上是相邻的。虽然朝西的塔楼并不是严格意义上的非背景性建筑（该街区还有其他一些体积更大的 "手指建筑"），但我们确实认为塔楼的上部是异质的，并决定据此设计建筑。通过在概念上将顶部五层视为对该街区历史类型的垂直扩展，我们选择为其创造一个不同的皮肤。
120 Allen Street located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and is comprised of sixteen furnished studios and four furnished apartments with a commercial space at grade. Grzywinski + Pons designed the building, the interiors, and much of the furniture. Located on an infill lot in a classically gritty LES tenement block, the property — while very narrow — is block-through and as such has frontage on both Allen and Orchard Streets. In order to accommodate the allowable floor area on such a narrow footprint, we bifurcated the mass on the north-south axis creating a slender ten-storey tower on the Allen Street side (a far wider thoroughfare with arresting skyline views) and a five-story volume on narrow Orchard Street which are contiguous in plan. While the west facing tower isn’t strictly non-contextual (there are a few other far bulkier “finger buildings” on the block) we did see the upper portion of our tower as heterogeneous and decided to design the building accordingly. By treating the top five floors conceptually as a vertical augmentation to the neighborhood’s historical typology we elected to create a different skin for it.
虽然我们不想假装 "基础建筑 "不是全新的，但我们希望前五层能向现有的砖石和灰泥唐楼邻居致敬。我们用手工制作的燃煤砖覆盖了前五层，并设计了我们自己的锈蚀砖石细节。深框玻璃增加了外墙的质感，同时减轻了太阳热量的吸收，皮肤以一种柔和的图形方式对一天中的太阳路径作出反应。我们选择的砖块随着建筑的上升而巧妙地改变色调，直到它们与上面的体量的包层紧密结合。塔楼的上部--超出相邻建筑屋顶的部分--用锌板包覆，然后用百叶窗的面纱包围。虽然它们的主要目的是--就像下面的窗框--缓解太阳辐射，但百叶窗也作为阳台的栏杆，在外墙上创造额外的深度，产生动态的阴影游戏，并模糊了外部的机械部件。这两个信封的颜色、比例和质地相互参照，更像是兄弟姐妹而不是陌生人。
While we didn’t want to pretend the “base building” wasn’t brand new, we wanted the first five floors to pay homage to the existing masonry and stucco tenement neighbors. We clad the first five floors in handmade coal-fired brick and designed our own take on rusticated masonry details. Deeply framed glazing adds to the facade’s texture while mitigating solar heat gain and the skin reacts to the sun’s path throughout the day in a softly graphic way. We chose bricks that subtly change hue as the building rises until they closely match the cladding of the volume above. The upper part of the tower — the volume beyond the rooftops of the adjacent buildings — is clad in zinc panels which are then surrounded by a veil of louvers. While their primary purpose is — like the window boxes below — to mitigate solar heat gain, the louvers also serve as balustrades to the balconies, create extra depth in the facade, yield kinetic shadow play and obfuscate externalized mechanical components. The colors, proportions and textures of the two envelopes reference one another and are more like siblings than strangers.
在内部，我们决定通过尽可能地暴露钢结构来庆祝它，这有助于在有限的土地上产生更多的宽度。这些大梁、柱子、螺栓和连接板与块状物和砖石相结合，与一系列温暖、柔软和豪华的饰面、织物和家具相平衡。我们意识到空间的深度和光线在室内延伸时的特殊性；擦过墙壁、装饰品、床上用品和瓷砖。我们把它们都设计成这样的方式来颂扬这种长光的美德。惬意、舒适、亲密的房间，但有一种戏剧性的感觉，真正反映了背景。这些房间位于下东城的中心地带，尽管人们在其中可能会受到呵护，但我们不希望你认为你在其他地方。
On the interior we decided to celebrate the steel structure by exposing it wherever possible which helpfully yielded more width within the constrained lot. Those girders, columns, bolts and junction plates coupled with block and masonry are balanced with a collection of warm, soft and luxurious finishes, fabrics and furnishings. We were conscious of the depth of the spaces and the special character the light has when it stretches through the interiors; grazing walls, upholstery, bedding and tile. We designed them all in such a way to extol the virtues of that long light. Cozy, comfortable, intimate rooms but with a sense of drama and a real reflection of context. These are rooms in the heart of the Lower East Side and, as pampered as one might be within them, we wouldn’t want you to think you were anywhere else.
