J Mayer H建筑工作室在德国Düsseldorf完成了一座多功能塔楼，其金属表皮像拉链一样打开，并通过玻璃幕墙提供视野。

RKM740塔楼位于莱茵河的466英里，或740公里处，在那里穿过Düsseldorf-Heerdt社区。

Architecture studio J Mayer H has completed a mixed-use tower in Düsseldorf, Germany, with profiled metal cladding that opens up like a zipper to provide views through its glazed facades.
The RKM 740 Tower is positioned at the 466th mile, or 740th kilometre, of the course of the Rhine river, where it runs through the Düsseldorf-Heerdt neighbourhood.

J Mayer H建筑工作室在2011年赢得了设计该大楼的国际竞赛，该大楼坐落在dominikas - krankenhaus医院的旧址上，包含了几个医疗设施和公寓。

建筑外立面采用了白色金属覆层，形成波浪状图案，像拉链一样打开，露出后面的玻璃。针对这种立面处理，该工作室给项目起了一个“拉链”大楼的绰号。

J Mayer H won an international competition in 2011 to design the tower, which contains several medical facilities and apartments on the former grounds of the Dominikus-Krankenhaus hospital.
White-metal cladding applied to the building's exterior creates a wavy pattern that opens up like a zipper, revealing glimpses of the glazing behind. This facade treatment led the studio to give the project the nickname Zipper.

该工作室由建筑师Jürgen Hermann Mayer领导，负责项目总体设计的最新阶段，该项目在过去十年间经历了多轮的重建推敲。

RKM740代表着莱茵河西岸天际线的重要变化。建筑整体呈现出典型的J Mayer H设计的建筑特征，与现有20世纪70年代直线型的医院建筑形成对比。

The studio, which is headed by architect Jürgen Hermann Mayer, was responsible for the latest phases of a wider project that has seen the site undergo major redevelopment over the past decade.
RKM 740 represents a significant addition to the skyline on the Rhine's west bank. Its organic form is typical of J Mayer H's architecture and provides a contrast to the existing hospital's rectilinear 1970s buildings.

该建筑有一个六层的裙房基座，包括几个医技部、专家和医师的办公室和诊疗室。在此之上，还有14层的住院部，可以欣赏到莱茵河和整个城市的景色。

J Mayer H建筑工作室说：“建筑形体上动态、有机的上升趋势，就像一层薄薄的云集结在建筑顶部。”

工作室补充说：“立面表皮似乎在水平褶皱中生长，随风摆动，在我们眼前收缩、缩小和振荡，变得不那么聚焦。”

RKM740塔楼最显著的特点是所有立面都采用了穿孔铝板覆层。这种金属表皮保护了玻璃幕墙免受阳光的直接照射。

The building features a six-storey plinth containing the offices and clinics of several medical practices, specialists and therapists. Above this, a further 14 storeys accommodate residences with views across the Rhine and the city.
"The dynamic, organic shape of the building rises like clouds of mist towards a thin volume at the top," said J Mayer H.
"It seems to grow in horizontal folds that move in the wind, condense, narrow and oscillate before our eyes, becoming unfocused," the studio added.
RKM 740 Tower's most distinctive feature is the perforated cladding applied to all of the facades. This metal screen protects the glazed curtain walls from direct sunlight and wind.

表皮的密度在不同的立面层次上发生变化，从东、南、西的开放模式转变为北侧更封闭的结构，为附近道路的噪音提供了屏障。

工作室补充说：“表皮就像拉链一样，开放和封闭之间的过渡是渐进的，使得立面造型能在多年的建造过程中灵活变化。”

The density of the cladding changes across the various elevations, shifting from a largely open pattern on the east, south and west sides to a more closed configuration on the north side that provides a barrier against noise from a nearby road.
"Like a zipper, the transitions between open and closed are gradual and allow for flexible adaptation during the process of development over the years," the studio added.

住院部楼层以光线充足的生活空间为特色，设有大窗户，可以看到周围社区的景色。患者也可以进入各种露台、阳台、廊道和屋顶花园。

包括大堂在内的室内空间与起伏的立面表皮有着视觉上的呼应关系。接待台和地板镶嵌有类似的指引符号，也被应用于屋顶的大开口造型部分。

The residential floors feature light-filled living spaces with large windows framing views of the surrounding neighbourhood. Occupants also have access to various terraces, balconies, loggias and rooftop gardens.
Interior spaces including the lobby contain visual references to the undulating cladding. The reception desk and floor inlays feature similar organic forms, which are also applied to large openings in the roof.

Jürgen Hermann Mayer于1996年在柏林成立了自己的工作室，2014年Andre Santer和Hans Schneider作为合作伙伴加入。

该工作室之前的项目包括Düsseldorf的一座大学的校园建筑，其流动的形式延伸到凸起的阳台，以及Tbilsi的一座房子，它被雕塑般的混凝土框架包围。

Jürgen Hermann Mayer founded his Berlin-based studio in 1996, with Andre Santer and Hans Schneider joining as partners in 2014.
The studio's previous projects include a university building in Düsseldorf featuring flowing forms that extend to create bulging balconies and a house in Tbilsi, which is enclosed by a sculptural concrete frame.
