Heatherwick Studio has unveiled a 20-storey residential skyscraper in Singapore, which was designed to be “a counterpoint to ubiquitous glass and steel towers”.
Named EDEN, the 104.5-metre-tall apartment building in the Newton district of Singapore comprises a vertical stack of homes that each have a garden. The EDEN skyscraper has been shortlisted in the housing project category of this year’s Dezeen Awards.
希瑟威克工作室（Heatherwick Studio）在新加坡推出了一座20層高的住宅摩天大樓，其設計目的是“與無處不在的玻璃和鋼塔相對立”。
這座名為EDEN的104.5米高的公寓樓位於新加坡牛頓區，由垂直的房屋堆疊而成，每個房屋都有一個花園。 EDEN摩天大樓已入圍今年Dezeen獎的住房項目類別。
“The project was conceived as a counterpoint to the ubiquitous glass and steel towers of much contemporary high-rise residential architecture,” said Mat Cash, group leader at Heatherwick Studio.
“Rather than isolating, hermetically sealed boxes we wanted to create open, flowing homes, raised into the sky, that connect with the lush physical environment of Singapore in an enriching, engaging and sustainable way,” he told Dezeen.
希瑟威克工作室（Heatherwick Studio）的負責人馬特·卡什（Mat Cash）說：“該項目被認為是對當代高層住宅建築中無處不在的玻璃和鋼塔的對抗。”
他對Dezeen表示：“我們不是要隔離密封的盒子，而是要創建開放的，流動的房屋，並抬高到空中，以豐富，引人入勝和可持續的方式與新加坡茂密的自然環境聯繫起來。”
The tower block contains 2o apartments that each occupy an entire floor. Each four-bedroomed apartment’s focal point is an expansive central living space that opens onto a large, greenery-filled balcony.
Two smaller balconies also extend from either side of the main living room, while the two master bedrooms also open onto balconies.
All of the balconies are made from polished concrete to contrast with the earth-toned structural concrete and have expressive, shell-like forms that act as giant planters for the tower’s greenery.
塔樓包含2o套公寓，每套公寓佔據整個樓層。 每套四居室公寓的重點是寬敞的中央起居空間，可通向一個充滿綠色植物的大型陽台。
主起居室的每一側還延伸出兩個較小的陽台，而兩個主臥室也通向陽台。
所有陽台均由拋光混凝土製成，與泥土色結構混凝土形成鮮明對比，並具有富有表現力的貝殼狀形式，充當塔樓綠化的大花盆。
“Too often balconies on residential buildings are small and inconsequential becoming nothing more than storage areas,” explained Cash.
“We wanted our balconies to invite you onto them so we created generous balconies with lush planting. The balconies are in effect giant planters, which form their shape partly in order to accommodate the soil and drainage and partly to evoke a sense of organic growth climbing the facade.”
卡什解釋說：“住宅樓的陽台常常很小，無關緊要，只不過是存儲區而已。”
“我們希望陽台能邀請您加入陽台，因此我們通過鬱鬱蔥蔥的種植創造了寬敞的陽台。陽台實際上是巨大的花槽，其形狀部分是為了容納土壤和排水，部分是為了喚起有機生長的感覺。 外牆。”
To encourage the use of outdoor spaces and create cross ventilation, the building’s stairwells and lifts are located on one side of the building, with all the living spaces on the other.
The lowest apartment was also raised 23 metres above the ground, with an 18-metre-high lobby and a swimming pool clad in deep-green ceramic tiles created as the base of the tower.
為了鼓勵使用室外空間並產生交叉通風，建築物的樓梯間和電梯位於建築物的一側，所有生活空間均位於另一側。
最低的公寓也高出地面23米，有一個18米高的大堂和一個以深綠色瓷磚覆蓋的游泳池作為塔樓的基礎。
“By moving the cores to the back we created 270-degree views of the city and allow the apartments to be cross-ventilated in three directions,” said Cash.
“This firstly encourages you to open up the facades of the apartments for cooling, connecting you with the city, the views then draw you outside where generous balconies acting like raised gardens create the lush immersive experience of being surrounded by nature.”
卡什說：“通過將核心移到後面，我們創造了城市的270度全景，並允許公寓在三個方向交叉通風。”
“這首先鼓勵您打開公寓的外牆進行冷卻，將您與城市聯繫起來，然後將您吸引到外面，那裡寬敞的陽台就像高架花園一樣，營造出被大自然包圍的鬱鬱蔥蔥的身臨其境的體驗。”
Heatherwick Studio also designed the apartment’s interiors using natural materials like a handmade parquet floor, which covers the open-plan living space and extends onto the main balcony.
The studio also designed the sinks, vanity units and tubs in the bathrooms.
Heatherwick Studio還使用天然材料（例如手工鑲木地板）設計了公寓的室內設計，覆蓋了開放式起居空間，並延伸至主陽台。
該工作室還設計了浴室的水槽，洗手台和浴缸。
As EDEN was Heatherwick Studio’s inaugural residential project, the designers were keen to make it stand out from other high-rise apartment blocks that are currently being built.
“Many modern apartment blocks are sealed-off boxes that have no connection to the outside world,” said Cash.
“This was the studio’s first residential project and it was really important to us that the people who are going to live here feel part of the world they live in,” he continued.
“It’s really important to smell the plants after rain or see the gentle ripple of leaves as they move. It’s about creating an environment that gives people a sense of well-being and calm.”
由於EDEN是Heatherwick Studio的首個住宅項目，因此設計師渴望將其從目前正在建造的其他高層公寓中脫穎而出。
卡什說：“許多現代公寓樓都是封閉的盒子，與外界沒有任何联系。”
他繼續說：“這是工作室的第一個住宅項目，對我們而言，至關重要的是，要住在這裡的人們感受到他們所生活的世界的一部分。”
“在雨後聞植物香氣或在葉子移動時看到樹葉的柔和漣漪是非常重要的。這是要創造一種環境，使人們感到幸福和平靜。”
The EDEN skyscraper is the latest in a growing number of buildings in the city that incorporate large amounts of planting, fulfilling the vision of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew who imagined Singapore as a “city in a garden”.
It joins the recently completed Jewel Changi Airport and a residential tower called Marina One .
“Singapore is known as the ‘city in a garden’,” said Cash. “It is an incredibly lush, tropical and beautiful city. We wanted to celebrate this by enjoying as close a relationship between the man-made and natural environment as possible,” he continued.
EDEN摩天大樓是城市中越來越多的建築物中最新的建築物，其中包含大量的種植，實現了前總理李光耀的願景，他將新加坡想像成“花園中的城市”。
它加入了最近竣工的珠寶樟宜機場和一個名為Marina One的住宅塔樓。
卡什說：“新加坡被稱為’花園中的城市’。” 他繼續說：“這是一個令人難以置信的鬱鬱蔥蔥，熱帶和美麗的城市。我們希望通過盡可能接近人造環境和自然環境之間的關係來慶祝這一點。”
Heatherwick Studio was founded in London by British designer Thomas Heatherwick. The studio also incorporated large-scale planting into its recently completed Maggie’s Centre in Leeds, UK, and the 1,000 Trees development in Shanghai, China.
Heatherwick additionally unveiled a table that has wooden planters for legs at this year’s London Design Festival.
Heatherwick Studio由英國設計師Thomas Heatherwick在倫敦成立。 該工作室還將大規模種植納入了最近建成的英國利茲的瑪吉中心以及中國上海的1,000棵樹木開發項目。
希瑟威克（Heatherwick）在今年的倫敦設計節（London Design Festival）上還推出了一個桌子，桌子上裝有木腳花盆。
