This project is aimed at renovating a historic site into a community center for a residential complex. The main goals are to remove the sense of secrecy and confidentiality associated with the old government facility, to establish a feeling of openness, but still maintain a level of control and enclosure. Using the area’s abundance of trees, grass and plants, we also decided that we would synergize the modern, open architecture with the green nature around it. Therefore, trees and bushes of all sizes are dispersed throughout the complex.
To keep the main entrance, the two guardhouses left and right as well as the stone walls, were demolished. As the old facility had the purpose of keeping people out, we wanted to change that and make the complex feel public and open. We kept the original main entrance road and split the 1st floor into two parts: gallery and café. Now, people can easily enter both buildings through wide glass doors.
The left building contains a downsized model of the entire complex, as well as a gallery room showing images and materials used. When done viewing the gallery and model, people can take the elevator to go up to the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor is a linear structure that spans across both the left and right building, connecting them together. It contains 3 example apartment units that clients can experience in person. The right building is a café place located next to the greenery. Each building is purposefully put in place to give the best quality of life for visitors.
The corridor is fully transparent from inside and outside, functioning as a showcase of the natural element of the complex. Visitors from the outside as well as clients can experience the landscape.
Situated at the end of the corridor is the reception desk and office. Further in are the conference rooms, including both open and private rooms. The conference rooms are surrounded by glass walls, as well as having 2 different levels of roofs which allows sunlight to enter. This allows people to have both indoor and outdoor atmosphere. A rear exit connects the area to the parking lot via a stone path. This essentially interconnects the large complex as visitors can enjoy touring the complex efficiently and holistically.
本案位于距離臺(tái)北市中心不遠(yuǎn)的文山區(qū),腹地尺度足夠,且原有環(huán)境即充滿綠意。基地內(nèi)有四棟不可拆除、更動(dòng)的歷史建筑,因此,業(yè)主賦予的任務(wù),是將過往充滿神秘感的歷史遺跡,改造成原址開發(fā)案的售樓處,因此需適切拿捏「開放」與「隱私」之間的平衡。
設(shè)計(jì)上決定將豐富的樹木、草地和植物,與現(xiàn)代的建筑形體彼此融合,創(chuàng)造出「被綠意包圍」的畫面,并利用樹木帶來隔而不絕的效果。
如前述所提,基地在過往完全將人拒于門外,新的設(shè)計(jì)發(fā)想企圖使建筑群面向公眾,開放予參訪者;為了善用基地內(nèi)大量既存的老樹,設(shè)計(jì)上配合既有的老樹位置,策劃出量身定制的空間動(dòng)線,不僅保留既存老樹,也進(jìn)行環(huán)境的美化,并于動(dòng)線的節(jié)點(diǎn)上增種綠植,強(qiáng)化建筑埋沒于綠海之意象,無形之間也清楚導(dǎo)引了車輛和行人的行走動(dòng)線。
由于基地占地廣闊,且緊鄰主要道路,有著長(zhǎng)約100公尺的立面條件,遂決定將建筑量體沿路布局,塑造醒目印象;另外,考慮到四棟歷史建物尚未進(jìn)行修繕,現(xiàn)階段利用增設(shè)的斜面屋頂保護(hù)脆弱結(jié)構(gòu),因此,在售樓處的形體上,同樣采取斜式大屋頂?shù)男蛻B(tài)作為呈現(xiàn),以期形塑一致、和諧的整體性。
而售樓處的機(jī)能共分布于兩座建筑中,1樓是造訪者的第一站,打破傳統(tǒng)銷售為主的做法,安排了如畫廊以及咖啡廰等區(qū)域,并以透明穿透的回廊鏈結(jié)各個(gè)空間;坐落于走道盡頭的分別是接待臺(tái)、辦公室、會(huì)議室與洽談區(qū)。而后側(cè)的出口則透過一條石子路將接待中心與停車場(chǎng)連接起來,替訪客打造高效又完整的游覽體驗(yàn)。
1樓的左邊空間包含了整個(gè)開發(fā)案的建筑模型及展廳,參觀完后可經(jīng)由氣勢(shì)十足的階梯、或搭乘電梯至2樓。2樓是一個(gè)線性結(jié)構(gòu)的環(huán)境,包含3個(gè)公寓樣品屋,流暢的動(dòng)線令訪客能親身體會(huì)建案的各式細(xì)節(jié)。
全案以「打開」、「連結(jié)」、「延續(xù)」作為關(guān)鍵詞,代表著:打開舊時(shí)代的建筑、連結(jié)現(xiàn)在與未來、在建筑中延續(xù)盎然生機(jī)。
