位于街角的Prahran酒店有着引人注目的外立面。一段外立面由混凝土管道形成,这些有深度的混凝土管道生动的圈起实际功能区,形象而戏剧化的造型赚足了目光。共使用了17根2.25米直径的混凝土预制管,最重的单元总量达到2.4吨。这些管子成功的装饰了酒店立面,并提供了舒适的座位空间。这里明亮,耀眼,让人过目难忘。酒店的大堂层高为双层高,一个绿意盎然的中央庭院为空间引入充沛的自然光。房间内的各个构件都直接暴露---钢结构或混凝土。作为对比,温暖的皮革还有木材装饰,以及鲜活的绿植点缀在空间四处。这个具备吸引力的空间有着亲密的氛围,让人觉得舒适放松,不同的区域适应不同的人群需求,从情侣到众聚。广受肯定。
The Prahran Hotel is a substantial two storey corner pub with a striking streamlined art
deco facade. The rear of the venue had a poorly proportioned, internalised single
storey extension and the clients brief for the project called to demolish and replace it
with a dramatic double height space with a central courtyard.
The use of large stacked concrete pipes for the street facade of the addition struck a
chord for multiple reasons: they have a depth and can be interactive, they have a
dramatic, sculptural quality, they reference existing internal circular motifs and they
suggest stacked kegs or barrels.
