A 16-storey mixed use development, this project was planned as an extension to an existing hotel, converted from underutilised parking lots to create greater value to its owner and the hotel.

The design takes cues from elements of the East African landscape, such as rock, earth and the conditions cultivating the beginnings of life. Textured concrete, the building material, represents slabs of rock shaped by the collision of tectonic ground plates. Weathering of the rock’s ‘cliff faces’ reveals the sedimentary layers in rock. Within the crevices emerging from erosion, plant life and fauna grow in better protected conditions. In the process of carving out spaces for human usage, balconies of the structure are twisted to give tapering, sculptural qualities to the 'outcrops'. Semi-structural mullions that hold up the glazing within the courtyards playfully hint at an archaeological dig site exposing fossilized remains.

The abstracted tectonic mass allows for expanses of green roofs, walls and balconies, transforming the building into a living green organism.

这个楼高16层的混合用途发展项目原为一家现有酒店的扩建部分,把未充分利用的停车场空间转变成酒店,为酒店业主的业务创造更高的价值。

设计借用了东非的地形风貌的常见元素,例如岩石、泥土和繁殖生命的环境。凹凸不平的混凝土是酒店的主要建筑材料,代表被地壳构造板块撞击后所形成的不规则岩石。岩石的“悬崖面”在经过风化后,显露出岩石的沉积层。在被侵蚀出来的裂缝里,植物和动物都能够拥有保护条件更优厚的生存环境。在雕琢实用空间的过程中,阳台的位置被扭曲,给“露出地面的岩层”一种逐渐缩小、仿如雕塑般的特质。在庭院内,具有结构和装饰功能的中竖框固定着玻璃窗的位置,巧妙地暗示窗外有一个露出化石的考古挖掘现场。

抽象的构造质量容许扩建栽种绿色植物的屋顶、墙壁和阳台,使建筑物成为绿意盎然、生机勃勃的“有机体”。
