舊金山Mira塔樓
Studio Gang's Mira tower in San Francisco to feature twisting bay windows
美國建築公司Studio Gang公佈了舊金山一棟40層公寓樓的新效果圖，該建築將重新詮釋圍繞其外部盤旋的“經典海灣視野”。
計劃建築高度為400英尺（122米），Studio Gang設計的Mira塔樓位於舊金山Transbay街區Spear街280號。專案場地距離Rincon公園僅一個街區，面向舊金山灣的東部濱水區，這裡也名為“Embarcadero”。
最新的視覺效果顯示，方形窗戶將向不同方向逐漸扭曲，為使用者提供城市、水域和附近海灣大橋的景觀。
US architecture firm Studio Gang has revealed new renderings of a 40-storey apartment building in San Francisco, which will feature reinterpretations of the city's "classic bay windows" spiralled around its exterior.
Planned to reach 400 feet (122 metres) high, Studio Gang's Mira tower is under construction at 280 Spear Street in the city's Transbay neighbourhood. The site is one block away from Rincon Park and a portion of eastern waterfront facing San Francisco Bay, known as Embarcadero.
The latest visuals show boxy windows that will gradually twist in different directions to provide residences with views of the city, the water and the nearby Bay Bridge.
“通過對舊金山經典海灣窗戶的重新解讀，我們的設計強調了街區的動態效果。”她在一份專案宣告中說。
塔樓螺旋上升，海灣窗戶為每個住宅創造了獨特的空間，為使用者帶來新鮮空氣、開闊視野和全天不斷變化的光線品質。
The forms are based on the bay windows found across San Francisco, according to Studio Gang founder Jeanne Gang.
"Reinterpreting the classic bay windows of San Francisco, our design amplifies the dynamic quality of the neighbourhood," she said in a project statement.
"Spiraling all the way up this 400-foot tower, bay windows create unique spaces in every residence that offer fresh air, expansive views, and changing qualities of light throughout the day."
一些窗戶將點綴著玻璃陽臺，而其他戶外空間則包括庭院和屋頂平臺。
Studio Gang為開發商Tishman Speyer設計了這座塔樓。建築包括392套豪華住宅，它們分別由一室、二室、三室公寓，以及聯排別墅、公寓組成。
開發商上週釋出了這棟建築的視覺效果，來吸引潛在的買家，但正式的銷售要等到秋天。
Tishman Speyer的Carl Shannon說:“隨著Mira塔樓建設的順利進行，我們每天都在為繁榮的Transbay街區打造這一令人驚歎的新社群。”
Some of the windows will be interspersed with glazed balconies, while other outdoor spaces will include a courtyard and a rooftop deck.
Studio Gang designed the tower for developer Tishman Speyer. The building will include 392 luxury residences, in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums, townhouses, and penthouses.
The developers released visuals of the building last week in a bid to entice potential buyers as construction moves forward, although sales will not officially open until the autumn.
"With construction of Mira well underway, we're getting closer each day to delivering this stunning new community for the benefit of the flourishing Transbay neighborhood," said Tishman Speyer's Carl Shannon.
“我們熱切希望舊金山快速發展，通過一座創新、可變換視角的塔樓，將一位傑出的世界級建築師的願景帶到天際。"
居民還可以使用大樓內的許多便利設施，如私人餐廳、俱樂部休息室、健身中心、兒童遊戲室和“寵物洗浴中心”。
其他相關設施包括為340輛汽車的停車區域，還有代客泊車服務，另外還包括電動車充電站、單車停車場和位於地面層的商業區，此區域面積約10000平方英尺（929平方米）。
"We're enthusiastic to have the opportunity to once again enhance San Francisco by bringing an exceptional, world-class architect's vision to the skyline with an innovative, perspective-shifting tower."
Residents will also have access to a host of amenities inside the building, such as a private dining room, club lounge, a fitness centre, a children's playroom and a "dog-washing station".
Valet parking for 340 cars – including charging stations for electric vehicles – bicycle parking, and 10,000 square feet (929 square metres) of shops on the ground level are among the other facilities.
該街區靠近濱水區和市中心，隨著近期Salesforce Transit中心專案的完工，這片區域的發展非常迅速，因為這將為這裡帶來便捷的交通網路。
studio Gang於1997年成立，目前在芝加哥、紐約和舊金山設有辦事處。該公司在2017年的Dezeen全球最具新聞價值的設計排行榜上排名第252位。
該公司在美國西海岸的其他專案包括在洛杉磯唐人街的曲線塔樓。
