林肯大道1111號是一個經(jīng)過改造改變了其原有用途的框架結(jié)構(gòu)。經(jīng)過數(shù)年的運作,這座位于林肯大道西端的建筑成功地進行了經(jīng)濟轉(zhuǎn)型,通過進一步的開發(fā),在對現(xiàn)有建筑進行改造的同時還增加了一個包含商業(yè)零售的新建筑,并且在原太陽信托公司辦公樓北面的空地上建起了一棟住宅樓。
新建筑平衡了兩個看似矛盾的目標(biāo)。一方面,它需要一個強大和清晰的特征以吸引林肯大道上的行人。另一方面,新建筑是現(xiàn)有總體規(guī)劃的擴建部分,它并沒有與1111號停車場形成競爭的局面。
新建筑是一個普通的白色盒子狀建筑,是奧爾頓路的兩層銀行和住宅建筑的孿生體。沿著勒諾克斯大道向東,新的零售空間擁有全玻璃店面和四扇10米高的可操作鋼制“大門”,門上有玻璃櫥窗狀的開口,既能保護落地窗不受颶風(fēng)的影響,又為林肯路購物中心創(chuàng)造了強烈的視覺認同感。
建筑的外觀隨著門的打開和關(guān)閉而變化。在商店后面,通過一個獨特的旋轉(zhuǎn)墻可以進入一個帶有露天庭院座位的餐廳,這也進一步激活了與之相鄰的林肯巷。
上層是兩個庭院住宅。這些住宅單元是相鄰的雙層建筑的四個院子和車庫頂部的階梯式頂層住宅的混合體。和以前向內(nèi)的住宅一樣,這里沒有外部景觀,但是一系列的庭院提供了與外部環(huán)境的充分連接。這些住宅單元通過有序的排列,使每個主要空間都有了一個相應(yīng)的露臺景觀。
該項目還進行了另外四項改造措施:將一層辦公室改造成停車場和一個餐廳,包括通往1111號停車場的天橋;辦公樓入口大堂的改造;新建一條能夠俯瞰林肯大道步行街的樓梯及零售亭,多方面更新停車場上方的閣樓公寓。
1111 Lincoln Road was conceived as a framework for changing activities and uses. After several years of successful operation and the economic transformation of Lincoln Road's western terminus, it became feasible to further activate the development with a renovation of the existing project and an addition of a new building containing retail and residential units on the empty parcel to the north of the former Suntrust office building.
The new building balances two seemingly contradictory objectives." On the one hand, it requires a strong and clear identity in order to attract pedestrian traffic from Lincoln Road. On the other, its architecture should extend the existing masterplan while not competing with the 1111 parking garage.
The resulting building is a non-descript white box that is a twin of the two-story bank and residential building on Alton Road. Along Lenox Ave to the east, new retail spaces have all-glass storefronts and four 10 meter tall operable steel \"gates\" with vitrine like apertures that both protect the large windows from hurricane winds and create a strong visual identity towards the Lincoln Road mall.
The appearance of the building changes as the gates are individually opened and closed. Behind the shops a restaurant with open-air courtyard seating is accessed through a singular pivoting wall further animating the adjacent Lincoln Lane.
Two courtyard residences are located on the upper floor. The units are a hybrid between the adjacent two-story building's four courtyard houses and the terraced penthouse residence atop the garage. As in the introverted houses before, there are no external views on this site but a series of courtyards provide ample connection to the exterior. The units are organized so that every primary space has a corresponding terrace with landscaping.
The project involves four additional interventions: the conversion of one office level into parking and a restaurant including a bridge to the 1111 parking garage; the renovation of the office building entry lobby; the creation of a new stair and retail kiosk overlooking Lincoln Road pedestrian mall; and updates to various aspects of the penthouse residence atop the parking garage.
