项目所在的河滨大厦是一栋70年代早期由Leon Stynen和Paul De Meyer设计的高层建筑,它坐落在斯卡尔特河的拐弯处,距离安特卫普市中心仅一步之遥。本项目位于大楼的第十四层,也是Okami事务所的创始建筑师Bram Van Cauter的自宅,在经过室内翻修与改造后,本项目如今变身为一处极具野兽派风格的复式公寓住宅,与大楼的建筑风格相辅相成。
The Riverside Tower is a high-rise development from the early 70s designed by Leon Stynen & Paul De Meyer, beautifully situated in the bend of the river Scheldt, a stone’s throw from the city center of Antwerp. It’s here, on the 13th floor, that founding partner Bram Van Cauter of Studio Okami Architects renovated a duplex to match the brutalist tower which he calls his home.

Okami事务所的新办公室坐落在大楼的第十一层,在购买该房产时得知业主想卖掉其在这栋楼里剩余房产,这处独特的复式公寓就是其中之一。河滨大厦由底层商业空间与上部的20层公寓楼组成,公寓面积从90平方米、150平方米到200平方米不等。唯一例外的就是本项目所处的第十四层,复式公寓、内部走廊,以及与走廊相连的两部电梯组成了独特的平面布局。
When buying a new office space for Studio Okami on the 10th floor, the owner wanted to sell his remaining properties in the building; of which this unique duplex was one. The Riverside Tower consists of 20 floors with apartments varying between 90, 150 and 200 sqm. The exception is the 13th floor where duplex apartements form a unique layout with an internal corridor connecting both double lift shafts.

本项目公寓原本包含有五间卧室,在改造中,Okami事务所拆除了卧室的墙壁,并剥离了墙壁以及天花板上的所有装饰层,将美丽的纹理混凝土暴露在空间中。粗糙的混凝土经过喷砂处理,待灰尘沉降后,这套占据了大楼第十四、十五层、且仅有一间卧室的230平方米开放复式公寓成为Doris以及他们的狗狗señor Peña的新家。白桃色的树脂液体地版与粗糙的混凝土肌理相互平衡,而混凝土墙面也成为屋主Doris艺术品收藏的理想背景,混凝土上现有的钉槽与挂钩定义了每件艺术品的具体位置。室内的少数几堵墙是由砖材与水泥砌成的,水泥中掺入了小石子,这种设置使墙面看起来更加真实有趣。
Studio Okami tore down the walls of this 5 bedroom apartment and stripped all the layers of finishing from the walls and ceilings revealing the beautifully textured concrete. The rough concrete was sandblasted and after all the dust settled Bram, Doris and their dog señor Peña were left with a 230sqm open plan single bedroom loft space divided over the 13th and 14th floor. The rough concrete is balanced out with a peach coloured liquid floor trough-out. The concrete walls form the ideal backdrop for Doris’s art collection, existing holes and plugs define the position of every artwork. The few brick walls were cemented and given an authentic look by throwing little stones into the settling cement.

进入公寓后,首先映入眼帘的是布满了整面墙的旋转窗,大面积的玻璃将两层高的空间向外界打开,在这里,人们可以俯瞰到港口与附近的森林。该空间被设想为一个娱乐区,厨房电器隐藏在以艺术家Donald Judd的极简艺术作品为灵感而设计的壁挂式家具单元中。厨房中岛与壁挂式家具单元相互呼应,在不使用时宛如房间内的一尊银色雕塑,而在烹饪时则展现出自身完备的功能。
Upon entering the apartment you are greeted by double height pivoting windows overlooking the harbor and neighboring forest. The space is conceived as an entertainment area with kitchen appliances tucked away in a Donald Judd inspired wall unit. The kitchen island is designed as a sculpture in the room when out of use, but highly functional when in full chef-mode.

在离地面45米的地方重新改造公寓,这意味着项目所有的定制家具都需要与内部电梯相匹配,电梯的容量决定了中岛的最大尺寸,同时也迫使设计师于现场焊接螺旋楼梯以及走道平台,安装后还需要将它们用油漆粉刷成蓝色。这部分工作是由Stielatelier完成的,且完成得相当出色。为了优化室内的交通流线,新的楼梯被移到房间最远的角落,在登上楼梯的过程中,顶层窗户外的美丽景色也将逐渐尽收人们的眼底。
Remodeling the apartment at 45m above ground level ment all bespoke furniture needed to fit the internal elevator defining the maximum size of the island and forced us to weld and paint the steel blue spiral stair and passerelle on site, a job well executed by Stielatelier. The new staircase was moved to the far corner of the room allowing for a better flow and reconnection with the views from the top windows when ascending to the upper floor.

位于第十五层的上层空间与下层的生活区域相比显得更加的隐蔽,几根笔直的混凝土梁定义了空间的基调,将卧室与书房揽入其中。在公寓的东侧,人们可以在带有书房的起居室中俯瞰安特卫普市的天际线。上层空间是围绕一个服务单元组织的,这个单元中包含了浴室、储藏室、洗衣机/烘干机,以及更衣室。在浴室内部,桃色的涂层延伸到墙壁上,保证了浴室内的防水效果,这个宽敞的空间为居住者提供了双人淋浴器、洗手池以及浴缸。光滑的墙壁与贯穿天花板的粗糙混凝土梁形成鲜明对比。每当夜晚,浴室的橙色灯光与窗外来自城市与港口的灯光交相呼应,营造出温暖舒适的氛围。
This 14th floor is much more secluded and defined by several up-standing concrete beams, sheltering the bedroom and study. On the Eastside of the apartment a living room with home office overlooks the skyline of the city of Antwerp. The upper floor is organized by a technical block housing the bathroom, storage, washer/dryer and dressing. Inside the bathroom the peach colored coating is stretched onto the walls providing a spacious watertight cell with double showers, sinks and a bathtub. The slick walls are in sharp contrast with the overpassing rough concrete beams. At night the lights from the city and the harbor create a cozy vibe while the bathroom radiates a nice orange hue when in use.

公寓中没有设置客房是Doris与Bram Van Cauter达成的共识,因为他们在大楼同层还拥有另一套复式公寓。这套公寓容纳了Doris艺术画廊以及民俗,足以接待他们的亲人与朋友留宿,并为他们带来完美的河滨大厦体验。河滨大厦可以被视为一栋前卫的合租住宅、或是一条垂直的街道,在这里所有邻居都认识彼此,大家共享着洗衣房、洗车房、宽敞的入口大厅等公共空间,俯瞰着同一座公共花园,享受着社会邻里间的互动。该建筑充分展示出Leon Stynen和Paul De Meyer的设计风格,除河滨大厦外,他们的代表作还包括BP大楼、圣丽塔教堂、彼得·潘学校和德辛格尔音乐厅等。
Not having a guest room was a consensus choice and an easy one to make as we are lucky enough to house family and guests in a secondary duplex on the same floor which accommodates Doris’s art gallery (www.soongallery.be) and B&B, providing friends and family with the full Riverside Tower experience. An experience it is; as the building can be seen as a co-house avant la lettre, a vertical street where all neighbors know each other and communal spaces like a washing area, carwash and oversized entrance hall overlooking the communal garden, boost social interactions. The Riverside Tower fits in with the rest of Leon Stynen & Paul De Meyer’s magnificent oeuvre including extraordinary works like the BP Building, Church of Saint Rita, Peter Pan School and deSingel.
