位于SOMA核心地带的一座1930年代的复古混凝土仓库建筑,为一家蓬勃发展的商业摄影工作室提供了新的空间。喷砂处理的混凝土和木框架结构展现出一种原始的极简主义室内设计,提升了空间的触感材料特性。新的功能性元素被热轧钢板包覆,营造出一种阴郁的修道院美学,自然光则为这一构图增添了生机。落地的黑色天鹅绒窗帘将动态空间分隔开来,其柔和的散射体量与构成项目核心的钢材的构造质量形成鲜明对比。现有的工业玻璃窗被重新设计,形成了一个分层的内部隔断空间,反映出建筑原有的工业简约风格。
对原有结构的每个元素进行了务实的审视,以揭示其增强未来工作室功能性能的潜力。原有的窗户大部分保持完好,配有原始的带电线的“气泡”玻璃,能够产生完美的散射光。这些窗户被逐一清点、拆除,并在原始翻新的窗框中重新安装。破损的玻璃则用来自类似建筑的回收材料进行更换。功能性设计仅要求自然采光的工作室和灰色背景,使得原有窗户和粗糙的混凝土墙面成为项目的资产。建筑内部保持原始状态,使得大型工作室摆脱了几十年来电气、管道和各种系统的复杂缠绕,裸露出没有人工光源的空间。
为了与回收的原始结构清晰区分,所有新的基础设施元素的设计都与仓库的“突出”优雅形成对比。新的混凝土剪力墙采用光滑的模具滑模浇筑,明显区别于物业边界承重墙的粗糙木模,同时保持了空间中具有特征的巨大矿物元素的阴郁哑光内饰。新的厨房功能和符合规范的垂直交通系统被放置在这一必要与原有巨大墙体垂直的地震干扰中。
A vintage 1930s concrete warehouse building in the heart of SOMA provides the new quarters for a thriving commercial photography studio. The sandblasted concrete and wood framed structure reveals a raw minimalist interior which elevates the haptic material qualities of the space. New programmatic elements are sheathed in hot rolled steel plate rendering a somber monastic aesthetic in which natural light completes the composition. Floor-to-ceiling black velour curtains separate dynamic space, their soft diffuse volume are in stark contrast to the tectonic mass of the stainless steel which forms the programmatic core of the project. The existing industrial glazing is re-scripted to form a layered space of interior partitions that reflect the buildings original industrial simplicity.
Each element of the original structure was examined pragmatically to reveal its potential to enhance the functional performance of the future studio. The original windows were largely intact glazed with the original wired “bubble” glass, which produced a perfect diffuse light. These were individually inventoried, removed, and replaced in the original refurbished frames. Broken glass was replaced with salvaged materials from similar buildings. The functional program called for only natural lit studios and photo card grey backgrounds making the original windows and coarse concrete property walls an asset to the project. The building interiors were kept raw allowing the large studios to be stripped of the palimpsest tangle of wires and pipes that were the accretion of decades of electrical, plumbing, and assorted systems, leaving them bare of artificial light.
To clearly distinguish from the salvaged original structure, all the new infrastructural elements were designed to contrast in compliment to the “highlighted” elegance of the no-nonsense bones of the warehouse. The new concrete shear walls were slip poured in smooth forms to offer a clear and distinct departure from the rough board formwork of the property line bearing walls, while maintaining the somber matte interior finish of the character defining massive mineral elements of the space. Into this seismic intrusion, which was by necessity perpendicular to the original massive walls, was placed the new kitchen programs and code compliant vertical circulation.
