这是由Studio Toggle设计的Edges公寓。该项目位于科威特塞勒米耶的一个以外籍人为主的社区，建筑为砖块砌筑外墙。建筑通过砖块的简单扭转变化，为立面赋予了活力与戏剧性。内敛的本地出土天然砖块和暴露混凝土进一步强调了建筑质感，并赋予了建筑独一无二的个性。 建筑师的挑战是自尊重苛刻预算的同时，赋予建筑一个辨识度高的个性。功能和服务能力同样重要。该建筑还得能承受科威特无情的炎热夏季气候以及偶尔的沙尘暴。砖外墙不仅有效隔热，协同暴露混凝土能有助抵抗恶劣的沙漠气候。嵌在墙上的主窗有助阻挡阳光直射，而铝质百叶窗有助减少吸热和炫光。这些富有韵律变化的立面，使该建筑自一座座外籍公寓楼中彰显自己。 译者： 艾比 From the architect. The ‘Edges Apartments’; with its articulated brick cladded façade; lights up one of the back-streets of the predominantly expat neighborhood of Salmiya, in Kuwait.A simple rhythmic twist, achieved by transposition of the vertices on either side of a finite axis imparts dynamism and drama to the façade. A very restrained palette of locally sourced natural brick and exposed concrete finish further emphasizes the massing and gives the building its unique personality. The challenge for the Architects was to give the building an instantly recognizable identity at the same time respecting an extremely restrictive budget. Functionality and serviceability were also as important. The building had to withstand the unforgiving summer heat of Kuwait made unbearable also by the occasional dust/sand storm. The fired brick cladding acts as an effective thermal protection as well as being hardy enough, along with the exposed concrete finishes, to withstand the harsh desert climate. The major windows are recessed to block out the direct sun and Aluminum louvers are employed wherever possible to reduce the heat gain and the glare.These small but calculated steps along with the rhythmic façade makes the Edges Apartments stand out amongst the rows of expat housing in the area.
