赫尔辛基Scandic Grand Central酒店。作为芬兰建筑的地标,赫尔辛基中央火车站以设计酒店的形式开放–斯堪迪克中央酒店是埃利尔-沙里宁的杰作,其扩建部分尊重了原作。赫尔辛基中央火车站及其行政大楼是埃利尔-沙里宁在芬兰最重要的成就之一,也是芬兰新艺术的代表作。

Scandic Grand Central Helsinki Hotel. A landmark of Finnish architecture, Helsinki Central railway station opens as a design hotel – Scandic Grand Central is Eliel Saarinen’s masterpiece with an extension that respects the original. The Helsinki Central Railway Station, and its administrative buildings, are amongst Eliel Saarinen’s most important achievements in Finland and a masterpiece of Finnish art nouveau.

该建筑于1919年竣工,被列为世界上最美丽的火车站之一,也是芬兰访问量最大的建筑目的地之一。斯堪的纳维亚中央火车站位于赫尔辛基中央火车站的旧行政大楼内。Scandic Grand Central拥有500间客房以及会议和宴会设施,是芬兰最大的酒店之一,并忠实于其后期新艺术风格的根源。

The building, completed in 1919, has been listed amongst the most beautiful railway stations in the world and one of the most visited architecture destinations in Finland. Scandic Grand Central Helsinki is located in the old administrative buildings of the Helsinki Central railway station. With its 500 rooms together with meeting and banquet facilities, Scandic Grand Central is among the largest hotels in Finland and true to its late Art Nouveau roots.

该项目包括行政建筑的修复和适应性再利用,以及完成车站北部的现代扩建。”来自Futudesign的建筑师Aleksi Niemeläinen说:”新设计的愿景是创造一种当代酒店体验,同时照顾到最有价值的建筑作品之一。”通过从一个全新的角度大胆地诠释埃利尔-沙里宁的建筑,我们的想法是创造当代建筑,使新旧元素都变得有趣。”

The project consisted of the restoration and adaptive reuse of administrative buildings and the contemporary addition that completes the stations north. ”The vision of the new design is to create a contemporary hotel experience while taking care of one of the most highly valued pieces of architecture,” says architect Aleksi Niemeläinen from Futudesign. ”By interpreting Eliel Saarinen’s architecture boldly from a totally new perspective, the idea was to create contemporary architecture that makes both the old and the new elements interesting.”

新的规划尊重了原车站的逻辑:例如,新建筑的布局遵循了埃利尔-沙里宁的缩进式立面原则,并将原建筑的两端留在明处。Futudesign的设计理念忠于火车站的原始建筑,模糊了历史和现代建筑的界限,创造了一种风格上的共生。许多设计细节受到埃利尔-沙里宁(Eliel Saarinen)原始计划的启发,并应用于当代特征,如街道层和顶层的拱窗。墙体材料模仿了火车站的外墙,混合使用混凝土和红色花岗岩,使建筑的外观更加宏伟。

The new plan honours the logic of the original station: for example, the layout of the new building follows Eliel Saarinen’s principle of an indented façade and leaves the ends of the original building in plain sight. Futudesign’s concept stays true to the original architecture of the railway station and blurs the boundaries of historic and contemporary architecture to create a stylistic symbiosis. Many design details are inspired by Eliel Saarinen’s original plans and applied to contemporary features such as street level and top floor arch windows. The wall materials imitate the Railway Station’s facade with a mix of concrete and red granite to add to the building’s grand appearance.

萨里宁本人可能并不介意重新利用建筑的行政部分,因为早在1918年,他已经为赫尔辛基的城市中心制定了总体规划。在这个计划中,沙里宁建议将火车站向北移动两公里,并概述了赫尔辛基在欧洲层面上的发展,即成为一个拥有林荫大道和纪念性建筑的大都市。这个计划没有实现,而火车站很快就成为整个赫尔辛基的一个标志性符号。

Saarinen himself might not have minded the repurposing of the administrative parts of the building, because back in 1918, he already had a master plan for Helsinki’s city center. In this plan, Saarinen proposed moving the railway station two kilometers to the north and outlined the growth of Helsinki on a European level as a metropolis with boulevards and monumental buildings. The plan was never realized and the railway station quickly became an iconic symbol for the whole of Helsinki.

行政大楼的修复工作是由Soini & Horto建筑师事务所与芬兰遗产局合作完成的。古老的走廊、楼梯和原来仍然保留的家具都被仔细地修复了。”你可以在赫尔辛基的斯堪的纳维亚中央酒店真正感受到萨里宁的精神。这里仍然可以看到不同时代的层次,以及令人惊讶的细节。对于历史和建筑爱好者来说,这是一个鼓舞人心的旅行目的地”,Futudesign的Aleksi Niemeläinen说。

The restoration of the administrative buildings was done by Architects Soini & Horto in collaboration with the Finnish Heritage Agency. The old corridors, staircases, and the original still remaining furniture were carefully restored. ”You can really feel Saarinen´s spirit at Scandic Grand Central Helsinki. There are still layers of different eras visible, as well as surprising details. It is an inspiring travel destination for history and architecture lovers”, Aleksi Niemeläinen from Futudesign says.
