水舍·上海南外滩酒店
下载所需积分: 5
位于上海南外滩的新酷码头开发区，水屋酒店是一家四层、19间客房的精品酒店，建在一座1930年代的日本军队总部旧楼内。该精品酒店面朝黄浦江，俯瞰着璀璨的浦东天际线。Neri&Hu的改造建筑概念在于清晰地对比旧与新。原有的混凝土建筑经过修复，而在现有结构上新建的部分则采用了耐候钢，反映了黄浦江这一工作码头的工业历史。Neri&Hu在四楼的结构增建与经过河流的船只的工业特性相呼应，提供了与历史和地方文化的类比背景联系。
Neri&Hu还负责酒店内部的设计，体现了室内与室外、公共与私人领域之间的模糊和颠倒，为渴望独特五星级酒店体验的客人创造了一种令人迷惑但又耳目一新的空间体验。公共空间允许人们窥视私人房间，而私人空间则邀请人们向外望向公共区域，例如接待台上方的大型垂直窗户和俯瞰餐厅的走廊窗户。这些意想不到空间的视觉连接不仅带来了惊喜元素，还迫使酒店客人面对上海本地的城市状况，在狭窄的弄堂中，视觉走廊和相邻关系定义了这座城市独特的空间风味。
Located by the new Cool Docks development on the South Bund District of Shanghai, the Waterhouse is a four-story, 19-room boutique hotel built into an existing three-story Japanese Army headquarters building from the 1930’s. The boutique hotel fronts the Huangpu River and looks across at the gleaming Pudong skyline. The architectural concept behind Neri&Hu’s renovation rests on a clear contrast of what is old and new. The original concrete building has been restored while new additions built over the existing structure were made using Cor-Ten steel, reflecting the industrial past of this working dock by the Huangpu River. Neri&Hu’s structural addition, on the fourth floor, resonates with the industrial nature of the ships which pass through the river, providing an analogous contextual link to both history and local culture.
Neri&Hu was also responsible for the design of the hotel’s interior, which is expressed through both a blurring and inversion of the interior and exterior, as well as between the public and private realms, creating a disorienting yet refreshing spatial experience for the hotel guest who longs for an unique five-star hospitality experience. The public spaces allow one to peek into private rooms while the private spaces invite one to look out at the public arenas, such as the large vertical room window above the reception desk and the corridor windows overlooking the dining room. These visual connections of unexpected spaces not only bring an element of surprise, but also force the hotel guests to confront the local Shanghai urban condition where visual corridors and adjacencies in tight nong-tang’s define the unique spatial flavor of the city.
