Renewal-Zone:與韌性城市同行︱ 匹茲堡Hazelwood Green環(huán)屋







位于匹斯堡Hazelwood Green的環(huán)屋,在19世紀(jì)是機(jī)器的天地,如今成為了21世紀(jì)的研究人員和企業(yè)家們的創(chuàng)意根據(jù)地。



作為占地178英畝、已關(guān)停的J & L煉鋼廠的一部分,這座擁有10個(gè)隔間的環(huán)屋,最初用于火車(chē)頭的維修和轉(zhuǎn)向,從而將運(yùn)載的物料重新導(dǎo)向生產(chǎn)線中的不同站點(diǎn)。如今環(huán)屋成為了OneValley的科創(chuàng)源和共享辦公空間,不僅為突破性創(chuàng)新提供助力,還成為首個(gè)遵循匹斯堡全新韌性城市標(biāo)準(zhǔn)打造的項(xiàng)目。



設(shè)計(jì)保留了匹茲堡一部分重要的歷史,以謹(jǐn)慎的手法來(lái)彰顯現(xiàn)有的結(jié)構(gòu),同時(shí)進(jìn)行調(diào)整使其適應(yīng)人的尺度。環(huán)屋是一個(gè)巨大的兩層建構(gòu),其中一部分建于山坡上,為工業(yè)所用數(shù)十年被廢棄后十分陰暗。當(dāng)磚墻和松木屋頂板下方長(zhǎng)達(dá)一個(gè)世紀(jì)的煙灰沉積被清除之后,內(nèi)部空間變得溫馨起來(lái)。



設(shè)計(jì)在一部分區(qū)域內(nèi)架設(shè)二層空間,打造了更多的辦公區(qū)域(以及一個(gè)特色的玻璃墻會(huì)議室),也將巨大的空間縮至舒適的尺度;同時(shí)拆除一些不必要的墻壁,以窗戶替代巨大的車(chē)庫(kù)入口,讓使用者能夠欣賞到灑滿光線的整個(gè)空間。



原車(chē)庫(kù)門(mén)處的巨大窗戶開(kāi)放了外部的視野,種有本土植物的新公共空間將場(chǎng)地的工業(yè)遺存,諸如轉(zhuǎn)盤(pán)、舊棚屋的鋼架等融入了莫農(nóng)加希拉河的景觀中。


Once a home for machines, the 19th Century roundhouse at Hazelwood Green welcomes 21st Century researchers and entrepreneurs.



Part of the shuttered, 178-acre J & L Steel Mill, the 10-bay roundhouse originally serviced and turned train engines, redirecting the materials they carried to different stops in the production process. Now, as a technology accelerator and co-working space for OneValley, the roundhouse will not only speed the delivery of groundbreaking innovations, it will be the first project tracked against Pittsburgh’s new resiliency standards.






Preserving this important piece of Pittsburgh’s past, the design uses a light touch to celebrate the existing structure while adapting it to a human scale. Partially built into a hillside, the roundhouse was a cavernous two-story space, darkened by decades of industrial use and abandonment, but the removal of a century of soot from the brick walls and underside of the pine roof deck warms the interior.



The addition of a partial second floor provides more office space (and a featured, glass-walled conference room) while also scaling the space down for its human inhabitants. At the same time, the removal of unnecessary walls and the replacement of its giant garage doors with windows enables occupants to appreciate the volume of this light-filled space.



The giant windows where the garage doors once were also open views to outside, where a new public space uses native plants to integrate the site’s industrial remains—its turntable, the steel frame of an old shed—into the landscape of the Monongahela River.
