Northview保障性公寓,美国 / Brooks + Scarpa
Northview公寓摒弃了社区中常见的、以厚实墙壁和围栏构筑的封闭式公寓楼,转而采用镂空式中央庭院的设计,这一设计成为社区中的地标,通过淡化私人空间来彰显社交空间的重要性。经过精心布局的窗户、功能明确的外部动线以及环绕建筑最外缘的单元,使这67套低收入公寓朝向彼此在空间上分离、却又通过建筑群中心社交空间在视觉上相互连接的社交区域。
Northview Apartments eschews the typical neighborhood defensive apartment buildings with solid walls and fences in favor of a carved-out central court, a beacon in the neighborhood that celebrates social space by de-emphasizing private space. Strategically placed windows, purposeful exterior circulation and units that wrap the outer-most edges, orient the 67 low-income apartments to social spaces that are spatially apart, yet visually connected to each other thru the social spaces at the center of the complex of buildings.

外围的两层建筑结构提供了充足的穿堂风,其造型既构成了两个社交空间——位于中央的花园和社交庭院——又可俯瞰这两处空间。建筑内设有贯穿整栋楼的通风走廊,便于从周围的花园和停车场轻松进入,同时也引导气流穿过中央空间。在两者之间巧妙布置的社区活动室及其他室内设施,配有大型推拉玻璃门,打开后可直接连接两侧的室外空间。上方两层高的藤架为这座LEED铂金级建筑提供了遮荫,并让斑驳的阳光洒入室内。

The perimeter two- story structures provide ample cross ventilation that are shaped to form and view over two social spaces; a centrally located garden and social courtyard. They include breezeways thru the building that allow easy access from surrounding gardens and parking, which also, induce airflow thru the central spaces. Strategically placed between them is a community room and other indoor amenities with large sliding glass doors that open and connect directly to both exterior spaces on either side. A two-story trellis above provides shade and dappled light to the LEED Platinum building.

该项目位于一处郊区地块,紧邻美国河与萨克拉门托河的交汇处——这是旧金山湾流域至关重要的河岸生态区——其设计旨在为低碳未来做出积极贡献。该设计既支持更广阔景观中的生态连通性,也保障了周边社区的社会与空间可达性。此外,该项目还注重社会生态韧性,例如应对气候变化的适应措施以及减排举措:通过采用环保材料对建筑进行绿化、实施被动式设计策略、打造新的景观和栖息地,以支持物种迁徙、授粉和种子传播等生态过程,从而降低碳消耗。鉴于不透水表面面积有限,项目通过在径流进入河流和溪流前过滤其中的沉积物来保护水质,并通过减少草坪面积、采用耐旱景观设计来降低用水量。
Located on a suburban parcel in very close proximity to the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, a critical riparian ecology of the San Francisco Bay watershed, the project is designed to make a positive contribution towards a low-carbon future. The design supports ecological connectivity in the wider landscape, as well as social and spatial accessibility to the surrounding community. It also accommodates social-ecological resilience such as adaptations to climate change and mitigation measures to reduce carbon consumption by greening of buildings with environmentally friendly materials, passive design strategies, new landscapes and habitats to support ecological processes of species migration, pollination and seed-dispersal. With limited impervious surfaces water quality is preserved by filtering sediment from runoff before it enters rivers and streams and reduces water use by limiting turf lawns, and using drought tolerant landscaping.
