Radio Hotel and Tower / MVRDV

由专筑网小R编译

该项目由Stonehill Taylor担任驻场建筑师，为开发商Youngwoo & Associates而设计，也是荷兰MVRDV事务所在美国的首个项目，这座建筑给曼哈顿的天际线带来了巨大的影响，同时呼应了周边的环境，为区域增加了酒店、办公等功能。

Text description provided by the architects. Designed for developer Youngwoo & Associates with Stonehill Taylor as the architect of record, the building is the first completed building by Dutch firm MVRDV in the United States. The building has a dramatic impact on the skyline of upper Manhattan, yet its design responds sensitively to the neighborhood and adds much-needed hotel, office, and hospitality amenities that were missing.



建筑师将一系列不同尺度的体块叠加在一起，并且应用了不同的色彩，从而构成了一个垂直的城市，让建筑不至于对周边环境造成压迫感，因为通常来说，单体建筑常常大于周边建筑，堆叠的体块还构成了多个室外露台，每个体块都利用下方体块的屋面形成专属的室外空间。

The distinctive design comprises a stack of blocks that match the size of the buildings in the immediate context, clad in eight different colors of glazed brick. This design approach creates a vertical village so that the building does not overwhelm the surroundings, as is so often the case when individual buildings are larger than their neighbors. The stacked shape has the added benefit of providing multiple outdoor terraces, with every block having its own outdoor space on the roof of the block below.







这座建筑的明亮色彩是对城市的呼应，这也参考了周边充满活力的店铺，其中最为明亮的色彩包含有绿色、黄色、蓝色、红色，以及橙色，它们应用于最上方，而相对温和一些的颜色，比如梅子色、青色、灰棕色，则应用在街道层。

MVRDV事务所的联合创始人Winy Maas说：“华盛顿有着独一无二的特征，这和南部其他曼哈顿地区并不相同。Radio酒店塔楼的设计灵感便来源于此，我们把周边的小街区叠加在一起，构成垂直城市，再结合街区中的明亮色彩，建筑就如同一座灯塔，照耀着这座城市。”

The building’s bright colors are a further nod to this part of the city, referencing the shopfronts of the vibrant neighborhood. The brightest colors – bright green, yellow, blue, red, and orange – are found on the upper blocks, while more muted colors – plum, teal, and grey-brown – greet visitors at street level.
“Washington Heights has a unique and exciting character, very different from the other Manhattan neighborhoods further south”, says MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. “The design of Radio Hotel and Tower is inspired by that character – we took the smaller blocks that are typical in the neighborhood and stacked them into a vertical village. Add to that the bright colors that you see all around the area, and the project is like a beacon celebrating this part of the city.”







酒店内部有221间客房，服务于来自附近Yeshiva大学以及纽约Presbyterian医院的人群，酒店的室内设计由APD工作室负责，设计师以外部空间为灵感，将色彩鲜艳的浴室和体块色彩相呼应，除此之外，建筑还包含有地面层的零售空间，以及超过16000平方米的办公空间，在12层是蓝色体块，这里有一个专门的活动区域，可以举办婚礼、聚会等活动，而人们在旁侧的屋顶露台可以欣赏到曼哈顿的美景。

Inside, the 221-room Radio Hotel will serve as an important hub for those traveling for conferences hosted by the Yeshiva University and the New York Presbyterian Hospital, both of which are located nearby. The hotel’s interior design by Workshop APD takes the exterior as its inspiration, matching the brightly-colored bathrooms to the colors of the blocks. In addition, the building includes ground-level retail and over 16,000 square meters of office space. On the 12th floor, in the blue block, is Above The Heights, a dedicated event space suitable for everything from weddings and reunions to bar mitzvahs and quinceañeras, with the adjacent rooftop terrace boasting spectacular views of Manhattan.



Youngwoo & Associates合伙人Margarette Lee说道：“对于Radio酒店塔楼我们投入了3亿美元，这个数目我们可以很轻松地在曼哈顿中心建造一座建筑，我们选择这里是因为我们相信这个社区，我们能够在这里产生一定的影响力，酒店大约70%的员工都来自社区，我们给这里带来了巨大的经济效益。”

“We put 300 million dollars into developing Radio Hotel and Tower – for that investment we could have easily constructed a building in downtown Manhattan,” says Margarette Lee, partner at Youngwoo & Associates. “We chose this location because we believe in the neighborhood, and we have a chance here to have an impact. Seventy percent of the employees at the hotel and restaurant are from the neighborhood; our presence here will result in a significant economic input to the community.”



除此之外，这座建筑还包含有一系列的餐饮娱乐设施，比如庆祝当地Dominican文化的Jalao NYC，这是美国时尚Santo Domingo餐厅的首个据点，Jalao NYC由Richard Sandoval Hospitality和Jalao合伙人Antonio Espaillat共同创立，在餐厅的地面层，还包含有一个面积大约为750平方米的院落，这里有花园和室外座椅区，是酒店现场音乐和活动的举办场所。

The building also hosts a range of facilities for food and entertainment, including Jalao NYC, which celebrates the neighborhood’s local Dominican culture. The first US outpost of the popular Santo Domingo restaurant, Jalao NYC was created by a collaboration between Richard Sandoval Hospitality and Jalao founder Antonio Espaillat. Just beyond the restaurant at ground level, the hotel also features a 750-square-meter courtyard with a garden and ample outdoor seating, which is a hub of live music and activity for the hotel.







Radio酒店塔楼给曼哈顿的一个常被忽视的地区带来了经济效益，也解决了区域酒店紧缺的问题，它激发了社区的活力，进一步提升了城市的生活品质，同时其自身也构成了地标，吸引人们的注意，也荣获了诸多赞誉，正如《纽约时报》写的那样，“在那一瞬间，我们期待生活在这里。”

Bringing a jolt of electric energy to an often-overlooked part of Manhattan, Radio Hotel and Tower address Washington Heights’ pressing lack of hotel rooms. It celebrates the area’s community, furthering the urban qualities of the surroundings without departing from the already-existing urban character. And of course, it creates a landmark that brings attention to the neighborhood; already this new addition has attracted praise and interest, with Time Out New York writing “suddenly we’re itching for a staycation way, way uptown”.
