2007年,約翰·麥卡蘭建筑事務所受土地證券公司委托,在倫敦女王門和小法國交界處的地標性“點”位設計了一座10層高的混合用途建筑。這個重大項目包括一個擁有62套公寓的高價值單元住宅樓以及一樓的零售部分,面向白金漢門和小法國。該建筑成為土地證券公司在維多利亞車站附近相關開發項目中的私人住宅區。
惠靈頓公寓大樓的建筑語言以傳統公寓樓的當代詮釋為基礎,建筑主體定義為單一體量,覆以磚石。第九層與眾不同,采用鋅和玻璃幕墻,與天際線相對,形成閣樓層,縮進距離最大限度地降低了建筑的視高度。設計開發解決了三角形場地位于保護區內的問題,仔細考量了建筑物的印度白沙石立面。周邊環繞著各種規模、類型和歷史建筑風格的建筑物,約翰·麥卡蘭建筑事務所與藝術家佐治亞·羅素合作,受鳥類飛行模式和風流的啟發,開發了一種雕刻處理方式,賦予建筑獨特的新特征,為鄰近區域創造了一個視覺焦點。
該建筑的開窗大體上整齊有序,刻意的變化實現了單個窗戶元素和整體之間的平衡。突出的磚石翅片營造出額外的視覺動態效果,當地街景產生的建筑物斜視圖增強了這種動態效果。翅片還有一定程度的遮陽和私密作用。惠靈頓之家除了與后面建筑物有一個單層汽車升降機相連之外,本質上屬于獨立建筑。因此,所有公寓都能享受良好的日光,頂層的公寓可以欣賞到整個倫敦的壯麗景色。66%的公寓設有戶外舒適空間(嵌入式陽臺或屋頂露臺)。
垂直通路核心處于中心位置,方便住戶輕松進入公寓。車輛入口和維修/垃圾收集站位于小法國處。地下室設有停車場,可停放19輛車,每套公寓配有自行車停放區。
In 2007 John McAslan + Partners was commissioned by Land Securities to design a 10-storey mixed use building on a landmark ‘point’ location at the junction of Queen’s Gate and Petty France, London. This significant project comprises a high-value apartment block with 62 apartments, as well as retail on part of the ground floor, with frontages on Buckingham Gate and Petty France. The building is the private residential component of the client’s associated development scheme nearer to Victoria station.
The architectural language of Wellington House is based on a contemporary interpretation of the conventional mansion block, with the main body of the building defined as a single volume, clad in masonry. The ninth floor is differentiated with zinc and glass cladding, registering as an attic storey against the skyline, the setback minimizing the building’s apparent height. Design development has addressed the fact that the triangular site sits within a conservation area, and careful consideration has been given to the building’s Indian Sandstone fa?ade. Surrounded by buildings of various scales, typologies and historic architectural styles, John McAslan + Partners collaborated with the artist Georgia Russell to develop an incised treatment – inspired by the flight pattern of birds and of wind flow – that brings a distinctive new character to the building and creates a visual focal-point for the immediate area.
The building’s fenestration is essentially ordered, with deliberate variation achieving a balance between an individual window element and the complete ensemble. Projecting masonry fins create an additional visual dynamic, enhanced by the oblique views of the building afforded by the local streetscape. The fins also provide a degree of shading and privacy. Wellington House is essentially freestanding, apart from a single storey car-lift link to the building behind it. As a result, all apartments benefit from good daylight, with those on the top floor enjoying superb views across London. 66% of the apartments are provided with outdoor amenity space (either an inset balcony or via terraces at roof level).
The vertical circulation core is located centrally to provide simple, legible access to all apartments. The vehicle entrance and set down for servicing/refuse collection is located on Petty France. The basement contains parking provision for 19 cars, as well as a cycle space for each apartment.
