Studio Farris Architects給gooood分享了他們與ELD合作的Park Tower高層公寓住宅項目。

這棟擁有醒目白色外觀的建筑坐落在比利時歷史悠久的城市安特衛普，位于Eilandje港灣，距離MAS博物館咫尺之遙。78米高的塔樓是安特衛

普最高的建筑，定義著整個城市的天際線。錯落有致的白色幕墻玻璃面板讓建筑仿佛披上一層層次鮮明，光影迷人的俏皮面紗。整個高塔宛如

一個垂直城市，底層為商業，上層為居住單位。

 

 

The Park Tower, a project by Studio Farris Architects and ELD partnership, is situated in a unique location within walking distance from the

new MAS museum, the harbor district ‘Eilandje’, the waterfront beside the river Scheldt and the historic city center. The project is integrated

into the strategic development project that is aimed to transform the northern quarters of the city and will play a connecting role between parts

of the city that have been remodeled earlier.

 

With a total height of 78 meters, the Park Tower is now one of the highest buildings in Antwerp. The strikingly bright white exterior turns the

tower into an attention-grabbing beacon that stands out as a landmark for the entire district. The ingenious patchwork of glass façade panels

that shelter the terraces from the wind add a playful, layered effect highlighted by a fascinating dynamic of light and shadow. The tower is a

vertical reflection of a classic urban street: from the ground floor which has a commercial function the tower literally stacks up to host different

habitation styles in the 20 higher stories.

 

 

建筑一共有20層居住層，含360個居住單位，能容納800位城市居民入住。下部10層居住層有80間學生套房和160間工作室住宅---為單身人士，

年輕家庭，外國人提供居住空間。上方的10層樓有115個1-2間臥室的社會性老年住房。每層都有電梯直達。地下停車位有280個小汽車位和800

個自行車車位。

 

每一戶公寓都有私人露臺。同時為了避風，建筑師在建筑表面放置了看似隨機排布的玻璃面板，減少封對高層用戶的干擾，保護用戶隱私，增

加安全性，同時在外表形成光影豐富的變化表皮。

 

 

The tower comprises 360 habitation units, totaling a capacity to house 800 city inhabitants. The first 10 floors are made up of 160 studios and

80 student rooms. This way the project offers an answer to the growing need for comfortable living space for single-person households,

students, young couples and expats. On the next 10 floors we find 115 habitation units with 1 or 2 bedrooms and elderly care facilities. From

the main entrance of the ground floor, the different groups of inhabitants can reach their own floors using separate elevator batteries. Mobility

-wise, the tower offers underground parking space for 280 cars and 800 bicycles.

 

Each studio or apartment has a private terrace. To be able to use these terraces in a comfortable way, a particular wind protection concept was

conceived by the architects. The effectiveness of this concept was then calculated and approved at the Technical University of Eindhoven. The

glass panels are randomly placed, in order to reduce the wind discomfort to an absolute minimum, even at high altitude. This allowed to develop

a playful façade that changes with the continuous play of light and shadow. The double façade also protects privacy and reduces vertigo.
