作为哥本哈根重建的Nordhavn(北港)的中心,丹麦建筑师COBE和客户Klaus Kastbjerg和NRE Denmark为筒仓的完整改造揭幕。以前的工业筒仓最初用作粮食的储存容器。50年后,这座17层的筒仓被改建为新的住宅公寓楼,拥有38个独特的单元,面积从106平方米到401平方米不等,上下两层都有活动和餐饮设施等公共功能。
The Silo is part of the transformation of Copenhagen’s Nordhavn (North Harbour) – a vast post-industrial development, currently being transformed into a new city district. Designed by Danish architects COBE with clients Klaus Kastbjerg and NRE Denmark, a 17-storey former grain silo and the largest industrial building in the area has been transformed into “The Silo”, housing residential apartments and public functions.
Inside-out transformation
In order to bring The Silo’s industrial concrete facade up to current standards, the exterior of the existing silo has been reclad, while the interior has been preserved as raw and untouched as possible. An angular faceted exterior facade made of galvanised steel has been installed to serve as aclimate shield. This has allowed the building’s characteristic slender tall shape to be maintaitaned.
Dan Stubbergaard, Founder and Creative Director of COBE, says: “We wanted to retain the spirit of The Silo as much as possible – both in terms of its monolithic exterior and majestic concrete interior, by simply draping it with a new overcoat. The aim was to transform it from the inside out in such a way that its new inhabitants and the surrounding urban life would highlight the structure’s identity and heritage. Hence, the use of galvanized steel for the facade, which patinates in a raw way and retains the original harbour character and material feel, lending a roughness and raw beauty to the area, as in its industrial past.”
38 unique apartments
The spatial variation within the original silo is immense due to the various functions of storing and handling grain, creating space for 38 unique apartments. Single and multi-level apartments range from 106 m2 to 401 m2 in size, with floor heights of up to 7 meters. All apartments have panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, and several have been preserved in raw concrete. The window frames are hidden on the outside of the existing concrete walls, offering expansive views of the city skyline and the Oresund coast.
A mix of private and public functions
Both the top and lower levels have public access. The top floor consists of a mirrored glass box housing a public restaurant with a 360-degree view of the city and the sea. The glass facade mirrors the surroundings in the daytime, and at night it is reminiscent of a lantern. The ground floor is designed as a flexible event space.
丹·斯塔伯加尔德说:“私人住宅和公共功能确保了这座建筑整天都保持活跃。顶部和底部的公共功能也确保了建筑不同用户的多维体验。从顶部你可以看到几乎所有的哥本哈根在一个全景。它是完全独一无二的,所有的哥本哈根人都有机会体验到。筒仓将有人居住,但也将是一个目的地。Nordhavn新开发项目的城市焦点。”
Dan Stubbergaard continues: “By revitalizing our industrial heritage, we discover new potential and highlight historical traces in our cities. They represent a built resource. They represent our history. By doing so, we can transform what many people today perceive as industrial trash into treasure.”
The Silo was completed in May 2017, when its first residents moved in. The remaining residents will move in during the next couple of months, and the restaurant on the top floor is due to open later this year. CPH City & Port Development is currently showing an exhibition on the ground floor of the building on the future development plans for Nordhavn, also created by COBE.
