这是由CHT Architects设计的Love大楼。这是CHT Architects连续第二年入围AIA

多层住宅

类的设计奖项名单。该建筑位于墨尔本北部，周边是维多利亚式阳台的住宅、仓库和低矮的现代公寓。该建筑造型新颖创新，包括21间独户公寓和两房公寓，建筑超过四层。

该建筑使用了不同的砖块，从当地维多利亚式建筑的装饰砖、现代风格的多色砖，到邻近工业建筑的砖。通过装饰性的砖块构筑建筑的立面，形成灵动的外观。主立面的阳台和檐蓬形成字母“L-O-V-E”的造型。砖块是住宅的传统材料，在该设计中加以创新运用，克服了该建筑与周边建筑的协调问题，提升了建筑的视觉吸引力。建筑师的尝试，证明了在设计过程中高端材料并非是必要的。

For the second year in a row, CHT Architects has been shortlisted from the Victorian Field of Entrants for a multi-residential AIA Award.This year’s successful residential project is the LOVE Building, located at 85 Leveson Street North Melbourne among Victorian terrace houses, warehouses and low rise contemporary apartments.The building contributes to the discourse of expressive and innovative apartment buildings in Melbourne and comprises 21 one- and two-bedroom apartments over four storeys.

The building pays homage to different uses of brickwork, from decorative brickwork in local Victorian architecture to more contemporary examples of polychromatic brickwork and the rational use of bricks in neighbouring industrial building. It also takes cues from ‘brick expressionism’ – whereby facades are enlivened through decorative brickwork – and the use of text in architecture: the main facade’s balconies and canopies form the letters ‘L-O-V-E’. The letters ‘L’ and ‘E’ were the first to appear at sketch design phase, after which, the idea of working with text evolved, and the ‘O’ and ‘V’ were added. The artwork of Barbara Kruger, which juxtaposes images and text, was of interest during this phase– in particular, the effect of re-scaling typography.

The abutment of the decorative Leveson Street facade and the plainer Bendigo Street facade holds the corner of the two streets; the latter elevation remains relatively austere, responding to the nature of Bendigo Street as a secondary road.The development’s innovative use of brickwork, traditionally a residential material, overcomes the challenges involved with designing a medium-rise residential building, in a mixed-use precinct, and incorporating a finer grain of detail, as is associated with residential architecture.

Ordinary house bricks, of varying colours and set in a pattern, maximise the building’s visual appeal. The project is testament to the idea that high-end materials are not always necessary in the creation of well resolved, visually interesting buildings.The team is looking forward to the AIA Victorian Chapter Presentation on June 20, when the Australian Institute of Architects will announce the state winners.
