太平洋項目反映了ACDF建筑事務所在開發根植于公共領域的高層建筑方面不斷發展的方法。在西海岸大都市的一系列項目中,包括 PARQ和正在進行的巴克利項目,太平洋項目體現了ACDF對摩天大樓開發中的人類尺度角色及其對鄰居和行人貢獻的創新性思考。
太平洋大廈位于霍恩比街和太平洋街的拐角處,并處于格蘭維爾街和伯拉德街大橋的映襯下,共39層,224套公寓。本項目與加拿大建筑咨詢公司IBI集團合作,業主格羅夫納是一家私營房地產集團,在全世界許多城市中心都有其參與的項目。作為溫哥華天際線上的幾座新建筑之一,太平洋大廈已經贏得了與一些世界上最著名的建筑師設計的尖端建筑并列的地位。ACDF并沒有選擇在溫哥華已經很密集和多樣的高樓景觀中競爭,而是采取了一種更加互補的方法,優先考慮簡潔、精致和人性化的元素,在周圍建筑更加講究形態的環境中,豐富了城市體驗。
“第五立面”。ACDF致力于確保太平洋大廈融入該地塊的位置、歷史和街道的氛圍,不僅在材料方面,而且從地面上觀看的視覺效果也是如此。從街道層面開始,垂直景觀被陽臺的紋理所豐富,包括陽臺底部的三種灰色調,其靈感來自于云的形成,并在圖案中創造出一種運動感。上面的三角形陽臺也可以倒映下面的街道。當陽光照進城市時,建筑開始發光,從陽臺白色的、類似大理石的陶瓷表面向下反射光線,并從不銹鋼框架上散發出粉紅的色調。在這些光線過渡期間,兩面外墻開始發光,而另外兩面則漸漸融入黑暗。
藝術與遺產的整合。在通往大廈的入口處,ACDF設計了一個夸張的長廊。其超大的、有棱角的柱子錯位設置,為溫哥華藝術家Lyse Lemieux 提供了一塊空白的畫布,得以致敬本場地及其歷史。她隨后設計了一個由九個人像組成的馬賽克圖,每幅都超過6米(20英尺)。每根柱子擁有不同的朝向和不同特色的人像,從而創造出一種運動感,并為社區、公共領域和城市做出了的貢獻。這些柱子也過渡到全玻璃大堂,并且仍然在其中充當主要角色。大堂非常簡約低調,由黑色磚墻和不銹鋼網格飾面組成。
太平洋大廈體現了ACDF對天際線發展不斷進化的詮釋,這源于在溫哥華世界級項目中的多次合作,包括PARQ、太平洋大廈和建設中的巴克利大樓。巴克利大樓被認為是“公園里的塔”,其地面景觀、樹木和座位設置都類似公園。ACDF在天際線對于城市結構貢獻方面的設想,在PARQ項目微露頭角,然后在太平洋大廈中大膽嘗試,又以巴克利大樓為成熟的標志。這三個項目體現了ACDF的行人整合方法的進步,人被定為首位,并且正在建立新的標準來創造情感而不是堆砌奢華。比起埋頭加高以超越臨近的高樓,該公司更加注重地表層面的展示,這才是建筑最終與城市結構的人類尺度上的互動。ACDF正在以其對提高公共領域貢獻的專注,引領圍繞世界頂級市場的城市發展重點重新思考的討論。
The Pacific reflects ACDF’s evolving approach to developing high-rise buildings entrenched in the public realm. With a succession of projects in the west coast metropolis, including PARQ, and the ongoing Barclay project, The Pacific represents a progression of the firm’s innovative rethinking of the human-scale role of skyscraper development and its contribution to neighbors and pedestrians.
Located at the corner of Hornby and Pacific streets, in a cityscape framed by the Granville Street and Burrard Street bridges, The Pacific features 224 condominiums across 39 floors. The building was developed in collaboration with IBI Group, a Canadian architectural consulting firm, for Grosvenor, a private real estate group with holdings in many urban centers throughout the world. Quiet distinction. As one of several new additions to the Vancouver skyline, The Pacific has earned its place alongside cutting-edge buildings designed by some of the world’s most renowned architects. Rather than competing within Vancouver’s already dense and varied landscape of tall buildings, ACDF adopted a more complementary approach, prioritizing clean, subtle, and human-scale elements to provide a wealth of urban experiences among the more dramatic architectural gestures of neighboring buildings.
The ‘fifth fa?ade.’ At its base, ACDF committed to ensuring that The Pacific was grounded to the site’s location, its history, and the vibe of the street, not just in terms of materials, but also in terms of how the building would be viewed from the ground up. From its street-level base, vertical views are enriched by balcony textures, including three tones of grey on their undersides, inspired by cloud formations and creating a sense of movement within their patterns. The triangular balconies above also provide plays on the reflection of the streets below. As the sun sets on the city, the building begins to glow, reflecting light downward from the white, marble-like porcelain finish of the balconies, as well as a pinkish hue that emanates from the stainless-steel framing. During those transitions of light, two facades begin to glow, while the other two sides fade to darkness.
Integration of art and heritage. Leading up to the entrance of the tower, ACDF designed a long, dramatic colonnade. Its oversized, angular columns are purposefully misaligned, providing Vancouver-based artist, Lyse Lemieux, with a blank canvas upon which to pay homage to the site and its history. She subsequently developed a mosaic composition of nine figures, each more than 20 feet in height. Each of the columns faces in a different direction and features a different personage, creating a sense of movement and delivering a strong contribution to the neighborhood, the public realm, and the city. The columns also transition into the fully glazed lobby and remain the main actors that animate the space’s minimal, simple, and toned-down design, featuring black brick walls, in a grid pattern and stainless-steel finishes.
The Pacific is a bi-product of ACDF’s evolving interpretations of skyline development, derived from multiple collaborations in world-class projects in Vancouver, including PARQ, The Pacific, and the ongoing Barclay building. Conceived as a “tower in the park” for its ground-level landscaping, trees, and seating in a park-like setting, Barclay marks the maturation of ACDF’s vision of skyline contributions to the urban fabric, coyly introduced with the PARQ project, and then boldly asserted with The Pacific. Those three projects characterize a progression of ACDF’s pedestrian integration approach, where humanity is positioned as the primary material, and new standards are being established for creating emotion without extravagance. Rather than focusing on crowning a tower to outdo its skyline neighbors, the firm embraces greater investment in ground-level presentation, where a building ultimately interacts with the human scale of the urban fabric. With a focus on improved contributions to the public realm, ACDF is leading discussions surrounding the rethinking of urban development priorities in the world’s top markets.
