近年来，亚洲的高层住宅已经发生变化，不再是大规模的重复修建相同的楼宇并让他们吞噬城市天际线，新一代的塔楼追求优美奇幻的造型，舒适的空间，迷人的花园，现代的设施。位于新加坡雅茂园7号的雅茂公寓就是这样一栋新生代住宅新大楼，同时拥有优越的地理环境，紧邻乌节路豪华购物区，可俯瞰新加坡市容全景和周围东西两侧的广袤绿化区。

In recent years high-rise residential towers is Asia have undergone a significant transformation. No longer only mass replicated tower blocksdot the skyline of most Asian cities, a new generation of bespoke towers now provide aesthetic, singular silhouettes and incorporatecomfortable living spaces, attractive landscaped gardens and an array of amenities for residents.

The Ardmore Residence at 7 Ardmore Park in Singapore is one of this new breed of residential towers. Located in a prime location close to the Orchard Road luxury shopping district the Ardmore Residence enjoys both expansive views of the panoramic cityscape of Singapore City andthe vast green areas of its immediate western and eastern surroundings.

这栋36层高，17178平方米的住宅大楼的主要设计理念是多层建筑与新加坡“花园城市”固有自然景观的相互呼应。设计师通过四大细节将这种景观概念融入设计：通过细节构成多样化的有机纹理和图案，打造连贯的建筑外观；通过大玻璃窗、飘窗和双高阳台，实现广阔的城市视野；通过采用“居住景观”的理念，呈现两种公寓类型的设计；以及通过一个开放的框架支撑起一个凸起的结构，实现地面花园的透明度和贯通性。

Living landscape

The primary concept for the design of the 36 storey, 17.178 m² residential tower is a multi-layered architectural response to the natural landscape inherent to the ‘Garden City’ of Singapore. This landscape concept is integrated into the design by means of four large details: the articulation of the facade, which through its detailing creates various organic textures and patterns; expansive views across the city made possible by large glazed areas, bay windows and double-height balconies; the interior ‘living landscape’ concept adopted for the design of the two apartment types and the introduction of transparency and connectivity to the ground level gardens by means of a raised structure supported by an open framework.

首层住宅从8层标高开始，下面7层作为一个开放的框架使用，解放地面，得到一个具有连通性和透明度的共享休憩环境。

Continuous landscape

The first residential level of the Ardmore Residence is located on the eighth storey of the building. An open framework is therefore introduced at the base of the raised tower which enables full connectivity and transparency across the ground level landscaping, while simultaneously organising the shared amenity facilities.

雅茂园的立面设计是由细节设计发生的。这一设计将诸如凸窗和阳台等结构元素交织形成连续的线条。公寓每隔4层重复同样的立面外观，圆润的玻璃打造出无柱角落，在视觉上将室内空间和室外阳台相互融合。交织的线条和表面包裹着整栋公寓,在实现持续的日照屏蔽时，也确保公寓的内在品质和建筑物的外观形成一个统一的整体。

Textured facade

The facade of the Ardmore Residence is derived from micro-design features which interweave structural elements, such as bay windows and balconies into one continuous line. The façade pattern is repeated for every four storeys of the building, whilst rounded glass creates column-free corners, visually merging the internal spaces with the external balconies. Intertwining lines and surfaces wrap the apartments, seamlessly incorporating sun screening, whilst also ensuring that the inner qualities of the apartments and the outer appearance of the building together form a unified whole.

公寓体现出“生活在景观里”的理念。功能空间得到重新定义并囊括生活景观概念，具备各种各样的可能性，大面积的双层高窗户使得室内外界限不在明晰。

Inside-outside

The apartments in the Ardmore Residence embody the idea of a ‘living landscape’. Functional spaces are redefined and extended into the living landscape concept, offering the possibility for versatile functionality for the occupants. An indoor-outdoor living experience is achieved through the inclusion of large windows and double height balconies in all of the residences.

Ben van Berkel提到：这栋大楼在环境中脱颖而出，具有极具识别性的外观，每隔4层重复立面提供了丰富的韵律和视角。独特的阳光生活空间和俯瞰新加坡全景的条件更是让其与众不同。

Ben van Berkel: “The highly textural façade of the Ardmore Residence works in unison with the organisation of the individual apartments, affording both extensive daylight to the unique residential spaces and panoramic views over the city of Singapore. The façade further generates a unique reading of the building in the neighborhood, with its layered contours extending the appearance beyond four façades and providing a variety of profiles and perspectives.”
