美国秘密住宅楼

这个住宅开发项目包括了对内部空间进行一次完整的翻修，并在纽约最漂亮和最古老的铸铁墙壁后面进行一个新建工程项目。纽约市的标志委员会要求任何屋顶上都不能有可见的附加建筑体量。然而这栋建筑体量坐落在一个可见度很高的角落处，街对面是一栋矮的、两层楼的建筑体量。这意味着这栋建筑体量的屋顶在三个街区之外都能让人看见。

在定位了看得见建筑体量的视锥最远点之后，WORKac利用三个屋顶规划来遮掩住一栋附加的建筑体量：门旁边是历史上著名的凯利大楼的三角形山形墙设计、圆形山形墙的设计、附加建筑体量本身的顶部是一个废弃了的升降机隔板。这三个突出部分创造出来的“阴影”为附加建筑体量创造出了一个相当大的区域，并为新的屋顶创造了一个拥有独特角度形式的机会。最后附加的建筑体量变成了雕刻一样的形式，而且从下面的街道上是完全看不见它的。

This residential development consists of a complete gut renovation and new construction behind one of New York’s most beautiful and oldest cast-iron facades. It required a careful approach to the blending of contemporary architecture with historic preservation. New York City’s Landmarks Commission required any rooftop addition to be invisible. The building, however, is located on a highly-visible corner with a low, two-story building across the street. This meant that the building’s roof was visible from almost three blocks away.

Tracing the cone of vision from the furthest point from which the building was visible, WORKac utilized three rooftop projections to mask the bulk of an addition: the triangular pediment of the historic Carey Building next door, and the circular pediment and an abandoned elevator bulkhead at the top of the building itself. The “shadow” created by these three projections created a sizeable zone for the addition and the opportunity for a distinctive angled form for the new roof. The result is a sculptural form that is – at the same time – completely invisible from the street below.
