The Smile by architecture firm BIG is a mixed-use development in New York’s Harlem neighbourhood with a stainless-steel facade designed to recall the “textured surface of the moon”.
Named for its curved frontage, The Smile at East 126th Street contains a nursing school at ground level and 223 residential apartments above.
BIG建築公司的Smile是紐約哈林區附近的一項綜合用途開發項目，其不銹鋼外牆旨在喚起“月球表面的紋理”。
東126街的微笑以彎曲的臨街而得名，地面上有一所護理學校，上方還有223所住宅公寓。
A chequerboard facade alternates between blackened stainless-steel panels and full-height glazed windows for the apartments.
On the rooftop, hot tubs, a swimming pool, candy-coloured loungers and lawns have views over the city.
棋盤立面在變黑的不銹鋼面板和公寓的全高玻璃窗之間交替。
屋頂上設有熱水浴池，游泳池，糖果色的躺椅和草坪，可欣賞城市美景。
The curving side of the T-shaped building is stepped back from the street and slopes inwards as it rises to maximise daylight for the interiors.
To the south, the building cantilevers over the existing buildings on 125th Street. Viewed from above, the building bends upwards like a drawing of a smile.
T形建築的彎曲面從街道向後退，並在上升時向內傾斜，以最大程度地增加室內的日光。
在南部，建築物懸於125街的現有建築物上方。 從上方看，建築物像微笑一樣向上彎曲。
“The facade of The Smile drapes gently between the building’s two neighbours and leans inward to allow sunlight and air to reach the street, thus fulfilling the century-old set-back requirements in a new way,” said BIG founder Bjarke Ingels.
“Like a good neighbour, it fits into the existing neighbourhood, feeding from the community’s energy to add new sparks to the community of East Harlem.”
Colourful concrete entryways are designed to echo the bright hues used in the multi-storey artist’s murals that adorn the buildings of East Harlem, depicting historic figures and sharing political messages.
One-third of apartments of The Smile, which occupies a historically black neighbourhood, will be reserved as affordable housing.
BIG創始人Bjarke Ingels說：“ The Smile的外牆在建築物的兩個鄰居之間輕輕懸垂，向內傾斜，使陽光和空氣可以到達街道，從而以一種新的方式滿足了百年的挫折要求。”
“就像一個好鄰居，它適合現有的社區，從社區的能量中汲取能量，為東哈萊姆社區增添了新的火花。”
多彩的混凝土入口設計成呼應多層藝術家壁畫中使用的鮮豔色調，這些壁畫裝飾著東哈林的建築物，描繪了歷史人物並分享了政治信息。
The Smile酒店有三分之一的公寓被保留為經濟適用房，該公寓位於一個歷史悠久的黑人街區。
Steel panels for the facade were manufactured in Germany using a combination of mechanical and chemical finishing to create a durable surface.
“The Smile’s facade takes inspiration from the textured surface of the moon, and blends with the black and red brick of the existing buildings in the neighbourhood,” said BIG.
用於外牆的鋼板是在德國製造的，結合了機械和化學處理以形成耐用的表面。
BIG說：“ Smile的立面靈感來自月球的紋理表面，並與附近現有建築物的黑色和紅色磚塊融為一體。”
Inside, the interiors continue to nod to Harlem’s history, with colourful herringbone tiles peppering the floor and a wall of mailboxes behind the reception desk.
“Residents are immersed in an explosion of reds, blues, greens, and yellows, inspired by Harlem’s Puerto Rican and Caribbean culture and history,” said BIG.
內部，內部繼續向哈萊姆的歷史致敬，地板和接待台後面的郵箱牆都鋪滿了彩色的人字形瓷磚。
BIG說：“居民受到哈林波多黎各人和加勒比海文化和歷史的啟發，沉浸在紅，藍，綠和黃的爆炸中。”
For the apartment interiors, those on the north side of The Smile are decorated in an industrial style with exposed concrete. To the south, the apartments feature exposed steel trusses and kitchen cabinets made from Italian steel.
Amenities for residents include a gym, spa and sauna, and access to a co-working space that overlooks a six-storey gallery in the building.
對於公寓內部，“微笑”（Smile）的北側以裸露混凝土的工業風格裝飾。 在南部，這些公寓設有裸露的鋼桁架和由意大利鋼製成的廚櫃。
居民可使用的設施包括健身房，水療中心和桑拿浴室，並可以使用可俯瞰大樓六層畫廊的聯合辦公空間。
A communal lounge includes a kitchen and pantry for events and cooking classes.
BIG was founded by Bjarke Ingels. Recent projects by the practice include a design for a base on the Moon for NASA and a Copenhagen power plant with a dry ski slope down the roof.
