Architecture firm OMA has completed its first project on America’s West Coast: a glass condo tower in San Francisco with stepped corners.
The Avery is a 56-storey condominium tower located four blocks from San Francisco Bay.
OMA partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long designed the 600-foot-high (183-metre-high) building for developer Related, with the aim to optimise views towards the bay from the 118 condominiums inside.
建築公司OMA已完成其在美國西海岸的第一個項目：舊金山的玻璃公寓大樓，有階梯角落。
Avery是一幢56層高的公寓大樓，距舊金山灣僅四個街區。
OMA合作夥伴Shohei Shigematsu和Jason Long為開發商設計了600英尺高（183米高）的建築物，旨在通過內部的118套公寓優化海灣景觀。
“The high-rise really addresses and reacts to the views of the bay,” Shigematsu told .
To achieve this, the tower comprises two glass volumes stacked on top of one another.
The architects then created cutaways in the lower volume, which step inwards from the midway to the bottom. The upper volume staggers inwards towards the top on the other side to mirror this.
“高層建築真正解決了海灣的景色並做出了反應，”Shigematsu說。
為實現此目的，塔架包括彼此堆疊的兩個玻璃容積。
然後，建築師在較低的體積中創建了切口，從中途向下逐步向內。 上部容積向內朝向另一側的頂部錯開以反映這一點。
“At the top, where it cuts away, the cut is expressed as a series of crenellated facades with a series of steps,” Long added.
The Avery is built on a restricted plot in Transbay, a new, walkable neighbourhood, near to the Salesforce Transit Center and the soaring Salesforce Tower by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.
Long described the site as “quite difficult to manoeuvre around”, with challenges including a highway offramp that limited access to the property.
“在頂部，切割的地方，切割表現為一系列鋸齒狀外立面，帶有一系列台階，”Long補充道。
Avery建在Transbay的一個有限的地塊上，Transbay是一個新的步行街區，靠近Salesforce Transit Center和Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects飆升的Salesforce Tower。
長期以來，該網站被描述為“很難在周圍進行操縱”，其中包括高速公路營地等挑戰，限制了對該物業的訪問。
In response, OMA designed a masterplan for the entire site. Its scheme comprises a new pathway, a courtyard and additional plots for new buildings, called The Shops at Avery Lane.
作為回應，OMA為整個網站設計了總體規劃。 它的計劃包括一條新的通道，一個庭院和新建築的附加地塊，稱為Avery Lane的The Shops。
“We were aware of the culture of San Francisco, and that the site is trying to create a new culture in a new neighbourhood,” said Shigematsu.
The firm carved the new alley, called Avery Lane, diagonally through the site to connect Folsom Street, one of the neighborhood’s main boulevards, with the pedestrian street Clementina.
The cut-through also allows natural light to enter deeper into the tower.
“我們了解舊金山的文化，並且該網站正試圖在新社區創造一種新文化，”Shigematsu說。
該公司雕刻了新的小巷，名為Avery Lane，沿對角線穿過該地點，連接附近主要大道之一的Folsom街與Clementina步行街。
切入還允許自然光進入塔的更深處。
“We were very careful to have a very pleasant expanse on the ground level,” Shohei said. “It allows the city block to be more open to the public, and entice people to get in and create a more walkable experience.”
Inside, The Avery features permanent residences on the 33rd floor and upwards, and rental apartments from floors two to 32.
“我們非常小心地在地面上有一個非常舒適的廣闊空間，”Shohei說。 “它允許城市街區對公眾開放，並吸引人們進入並創造更適合步行的體驗。”
在內部，Avery酒店在33樓及以上設有永久性住宅，而出租公寓則為2至32層。
The interiors are designed by New York firm Clodagh and feature white walls, oak floors, wood cabinetry, Italian Michelangelo marble kitchen counters and moments of tiling and grey carpet.
Units have spa-inspired baths with Cristallo Pearl marble vanity counters, frameless glass showers and Kaldewei soaking tubs. The decor is influenced by Clodagh’s work in the wellness field, and were designed with the help of Feng Shui expert Alberto Amura.
室內設計由紐約公司Clodagh設計，配有白色牆壁，橡木地板，木製櫥櫃，意大利米開朗基羅大理石廚房櫃檯，以及時刻和灰色地毯。
客房擁有水療風格的浴缸，配有Cristallo Pearl大理石梳妝台，無框玻璃淋浴和Kaldewei浸泡浴缸。 裝飾受到Clodagh在健康領域工作的影響，並在風水專家Alberto Amura的幫助下設計。
“We wanted to capture that magical feeling of San Francisco for residents at The Avery, with our choices of mixed woods and marbles, for which we were inspired by San Francisco’s redwoods and the ocean, as well as all of the Bay Area’s natural attractions,” said Clodagh.
Clodagh also designed the amenities inside the tower, including an Equinox-designed fitness center, an indoor lap pool, an outdoor landscaped terrace and pet spa.
“我們想要為The Avery的居民捕捉舊金山的神奇感覺，我們選擇混合木材和大理石，我們的靈感來自舊金山的紅木和海洋，以及灣區的所有自然景點， “克羅達說。
Clodagh還設計了塔內的設施，包括Equinox設計的健身中心，室內游泳池，室外園景露台和寵物水療中心。
A private formal dining room, professional-grade demonstration kitchen, media lounge, game room, business area and valet parking finish off the tower.
OMA was founded in the Netherlands in 1975 by architects Rem Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp and Zoe Zenghelis.
Its New York outpost is run by Shigematsu and Long, and functions independently from other international offices, which include Rotterdam, Beijing, Hong Kong, Doha and Australia, as part of an initiative established by founder Rem Koolhaas.
塔樓外設有私人正式餐廳，專業級示範廚房，媒體休息室，遊戲室，商務區和代客泊車服務。
OMA於1975年由荷蘭建築師Rem Koolhaas，Elia Zenghelis，Madelon Vriesendorp和Zoe Zenghelis創立。
其紐約前哨由Shigematsu和Long運營，獨立於其他國際辦事處，包括鹿特丹，北京，香港，多哈和澳大利亞，作為創始人雷姆庫哈斯建立的一項倡議的一部分。
The Avery marks the firm’s first project on America’s West Coast, and is expected to be followed by a cultural building in California.
OMA New York has also completed a number of projects on the East Coast, particualrly in New York City, including a black apartment building, Sotheby’s renovated gallery spaces and a colourful staircase for Saks Fifth Avenue.
Avery標誌著該公司在美國西海岸的第一個項目，預計將在加利福尼亞建成一座文化建築。
紐約OMA也在東海岸完成了許多項目，特別是在紐約市，包括黑色公寓樓，蘇富比翻新的畫廊空間和薩克斯第五大道的彩色樓梯。
