桥的起源 The Origin

该项目位于曹家渡，面朝圣弥额尔天主教堂，背靠苏州河畔的住区花园。原建筑被夹在两栋临街高层住宅之间。我们的挑战是在保留原体量和轮廓不变的前提下，开辟一个极度舒适的戏剧性空间。

The project is located at Caojiadu, Shanghai, with St. Michael’s Cathedral in the front and a residential garden facing Suzhou Creek in the back. Our goal is to create a comfortable but dramatic space in between two high rises while keeping the building’s original massing and form unchanged.

Processed with VSCO with v8 preset原建筑层高低矮，大堂十分压抑。我们决定将首层地板全部打开，形成一个上下通高的大洞穴，并临空架起一座小拱桥。桥下是完全开放的，是城市向内的延伸。酒店则藏在桥的彼岸，和城市保持距离。桥是空间的中心，过桥就像完成一个仪式，被桥下注视，也被两侧的房间窥视。

The problems of the original structure are its low floor height and repressive basement. Hence, we opened up the entire first floor to form a continuous vertical space with a bridge in the bridge. Underneath the bridge is an inner extension of the city; across from the bridge is the hotel, at a distance to the clamour. Walking across the bridge therefore becomes the visual center, a sense of ritual as well as the theme of the hotel.

水岸与瀑布 The River bank and Waterfall

空间和材质里的隐喻，都围绕着“桥”来展开，造一股“混凝土山谷中的瀑布”。瀑布的室外由玻璃砖做成，在裙房退台处玻璃砖间隙错动，就像溅起水花，最终汇集成三股水帘卡在四根混凝土柱子之间，即透光又私密。

Spaces and materials are expressed based upon the story of “bridge.” It is intended to create a waterfall facade impression in the concrete urban context. The curtain wall is by glass bricks, the which balance the privacy and lightness.

同样的意向室内外一以贯之，用材质表现出桥两侧的瀑布，水底和水岸。混凝土材质不同表面处理，表现桥上桥下水的不同形态。水流的暗示也在每个房间中：洗手间的墙面使用手工烧制的青色釉彩砖，透过淋浴间的水纹玻璃，融化色彩和光影。

“Water fall” is carried through both exterior and interior design, in which various materials and finishes expressed different conditions of movement: falling water, underwater and at the bank. The water current is also implied within each room: the walls of bathrooms are made of handmade azure glazed tiles and watermark glass, reflecting the soft movement of river onto the walls.

戏剧性、实用主义与建构 Drama, Practicism and Construction

房间的布局调整是一场在小空间中与现有管线管井的博弈。客房结构净高矮，所以直接采用原混凝土裸顶；空调管线吊顶区和洗手间被拆解，重新整合做成“嵌在房间里的盒子”，观感更加宽敞。在这酒店里找不到任何一块百叶：所有的风口都藏在材料接缝里。

Solving the layout of rooms is a game with existing pipes and wires. In order to achieve maximum floor height, the original concrete is exposed nakedly. The bathrooms and air-conditioning pipelines are inserted as integral boxes. Most importantly, no louver can be found within the entire building as they all hide within the gaps between materials.

化解小空间另一个诀窍，是大到容纳整个室外景观的取景窗。北侧窗外是苏州河的青绿，南侧落地窗外是教堂的橙红。落地窗两侧设置长条开启扇，形成风压通风，但开启与否并不会影响立面效果，保持瀑布立面完整性。

The mullion walls on the southern façade contain two operable windows which are specifically designed to maintain a complete water-falling appearance when opened. Other details in the rooms include: openings on the balcony wall and two overlooking rooms above the bridge, as well as a triangular mirrored window expanding one’s visual experience of a tiny space.

空间中隐藏着很多带客人发现的小惊喜：最隐秘房间的飘窗玻璃反射窗外的风景，三层院子隔墙不封死，留一个错缝，说不定与隔壁的目光不期而遇，桥两侧的房间侧墙开槽，洗浴时也能窥视桥上和桥下的觥筹交错，等等。

There are a few surprising setup in the hotel: a mirror periscope window in the darkest room reflecting the exterior landscape; little openings in the courtyards where can handshake with neighbors; strip windows people can peek at the bar and bridge, etc.
