这是由McAllister Alcock建筑事务所与Neometro Projects合作完成的澳大利亚哈珀巷公寓。该高密度公寓坐落在一块L形空地上,环绕20世纪30年代的电话交易所而建。项目客户是与Neometro Projects和Icon Construction有伙伴关系的一家合资企业。该企业的宗旨是利用经济的建设预算,开发在商业上可行的住宅发展项目。同时强调为居住者提供高品质的住房环境和与周围住区的融合。项目在两栋楼内提供了65套公寓和1个商业租赁房,建筑高度从3层到6层不等。基地从北面边界到因克尔曼街有3米的高差,因此可以插入一个稍低的楼层,用作咖啡馆、重新安置的变电站和地下车库,面对因克尔曼街,而公寓的一层入口在建筑后方和花园在同一层。
建筑设计体现了重复性和经济性,通过考察现代主义模型发现用外廊式公寓比标准的内廊式公寓更利于自然通风和光照。一居室公寓的平面主要将卫生间紧贴走道设置,为卧室提供了一个缓冲带。入口大门上的可开启窗户既有利于通风,又兼顾了私密性。建筑外部黑色的细节和天然的木材缓解了灰白预制混凝土造成的单调感。两种色调的绿色百叶窗和向上攀爬的藤蔓为坚实的建筑立面增添了活力。面对因克尔曼街道的立面和相邻的交易所呼应,简洁朴素,以不对称阳台板构成的立面重点强调水平构图。建筑西立面是用玻璃纤维增强混凝土制成的水平栏板。内部布局紧凑的公寓由于高于标准的层高和使用滑动屏风作为室内隔断,给人感觉更加宽敞。内部装修反应了建筑外部的审美:混凝土地板,黑色连接构件和细部出现的具有视觉冲击力的色彩。
该项目旨在发展中促进社区意识,整合现有的邻里关系。小咖啡馆紧邻建筑入口步道,促进了街道活动和相互交流。从阳台能俯瞰人行道,增强了街道安全性。建筑被分解成三个区域以降低走道长度,每个建筑出入口每层最多连接五个公寓入口。基地北边有一个公共花园,位于一排原有树木下方。这些树木被保留下来作为基地和相邻建筑之间的屏障。通过被动式太阳能设计,建筑达到了6星级能源标准,包括北面许多单元的玻璃,裸露的混凝土地板和共用的热量。各公寓单元外部的遮阳玻璃、墙体和交叉通风,最大限度地减少了对空调的依赖。建设期间,雨水被收集起来冲厕所和灌溉耐旱的公共花园。

Harper Lane is an infill residential development built on a vacant ‘L’ shaped site – ‘leftover’ land wrapping around a 1930s telephone exchange. The client was a joint venture partnership between Neometro Projects and Icon Developments. Their brief was for a commercially viable residential development, working with an economical construction budget. Emphasis was also placed on achieving a high quality of amenity for the occupiers and responding to the concerns of the adjoining residential neighbourhood. The project provides 65 residential apartments and 1 commercial tenancy in 2 buildings, varying in height from 3 to 6 storeys. The site has 3m fall from the northern boundary towards Inkerman Street, allowing the lower levels to be ‘cut in’, with a café, a relocated substation and the upper basement car park on grade at the Inkerman St frontage while first floor apartments access the garden level at the rear.
The architectural response is a repetitive, economical design which re-visits the modernist model of dual aspect apartments with external gallery walkway access, creating opportunities for natural ventilation and daylight penetration that are not achievable with standard internal double loaded corridors. The predominant plan type of one bedroom apartments has bathrooms abutting walkways, providing a ‘buffer’ to bedrooms. Openable windows above entry doors achieve cross ventilation without loss of privacy.
Externally black detailing and areas of natural timber relieve a simple palette of grey and white precast concrete. Robust elevations are enlivened by external blinds in 2 shades of green, and climbing vines on the facades. The Inkerman Street elevation responds to the simplicity of the adjoining Exchange building with a horizontal emphasis created by an asymmetrical composition of projecting ‘off form’ balconies, and horizontal GRC blades on the west façade. Internally the compact apartment layouts feel more spacious due to higher than standard ceiling heights and the use of sliding screens as room dividers. Interior fitouts reflect the external building aesthetic with concrete floors and black joinery, and a ‘punch’ of colour provided as a detail.
The project aimed to facilitate a sense of community within the development and to integrate with the existing neighbourhood. The small café, creating activity at street level, is located next to the entry walkway to maximize opportunities for interaction. Balconies overlook the walkway for improved security, and building access is split into 3 circulation zones to reduce corridor lengths with a maximum of 5 apartment entries per floor from each access point. A communal garden was created along the northern boundary, beneath a row of established trees that were kept to maintain existing screening between the site and adjoining residences.
A 6 star energy rating was predominantly achieved through the use of passive solar design principles, including north facing glazing to many of the units, and exposed concrete floors and shared thermal mass. External shading of glazing and walls and cross-ventilation to all units minimises reliance on air conditioning. Rainwater is harvested for toilet flushing and irrigation of the drought tolerant communal garden during the establishment period. |
