丹麦建筑工作室3XN已经被选定建造多伦多的一个住宅公寓楼——该公司在北美的第一个项目。公告是房地产公司Hines和加拿大公寓开发商Tridel宣布的。“海湾多伦多”寻求建造一个沿着安大略湖海岸的垂直街道，形成多伦多滨水区11亿美元（CAD）的13英亩的场地开发的关键部分。

该项目位于皇后码头东部、城市的东海湾附近。方案的独特L形设计确保风景面向水面，允许充足的自然光线到达底层的公共区域。建筑从西北角的最高点跌落，迎合了城市边缘，在七楼有一个舒适的空间，在前方朝向它的西立面回升。

danish architecture practice 3XN has been selected to construct a residential condominium building in toronto — the firm’s first project in north america. the announcement was made by real estate firm hines, and tridel, a canadian condominium developer. ‘bayside toronto’ seeks to establish a vertical neighborhood along the shore of lake ontario, forming a key component of waterfront toronto’s $1.1 billion dollar (CAD) development of the 13-acre site.
located on queen’s quay east in the city’s east bayfront neighborhood, the scheme’s distinctive L-shaped design ensures views out across the water, and allows ample natural light to reach public areas at ground level. the building steps down from its highest point at its north-western corner where it meets the city edge, to an amenity space on the 7th floor, before rising back up towards its eastern façade.

“设计把人放在首位，特别关注风景的质量、空间和生活方式，”3XN的创造者和创意总监Kim Herforth Nielsen解释说。“项目发展将需要非凡的水景，街区公园和城市天际线。同时阶梯形式为建筑提供了一个雕塑般的品质，大型花园露台是设计的标志。露台将激活建筑立面，使它的纹理、颜色、深度和多样性更活跃，同时还带有一种人性化设计。”

‘The design puts people first, paying particular attention to the quality of views, space and lifestyle,’ explains Kim Herforth Nielsen, 3XN founder and creative director. ‘the development will command extraordinary views of the water, neighboring parks, and the city skyline. while the stepped L-shape form provides a sculptural quality to the building, the large garden terraces are the hallmark of the design. the terraces will activate the façade, enlivening it with texture, color, depth and variety, while imbuing it with a human scale.’

“设计大赛促进了一些真正鼓舞人心的愿景产生，这些设计方案都来自一些世界领先的建筑公司，”Hines的高级施工经理Michael Gross说。“选拔委员会很快就看出，3XN不仅提出一个引人注目的设计，而且理解基地对于城市的重要性和滨水区更新过程；它沿水的边缘位置创造了奇特的机会；满足多伦多精致公寓消费的市场需求。”

3XN 现在和多伦多公司Kirkor事务所合作发展，它将作为该项目记录的建筑师。

‘The design competition resulted in some truly inspiring visions, from some of the world’s leading architecture firms,’says Michael Gross, senior construction manager at Hines. ‘but it was quickly clear to the selection committee that 3XN had not only presented a compelling design, but one that understood the site’s importance to the city and its waterfront regeneration process; the singular opportunities created by its location along the water’s edge; and the market demands of Toronto’s sophisticated condominium consumer.’
3XN will now develop the project alongside Toronto-based architecture firm Kirkor architects, who will serve as the project’s architect of record.
