Octo Tower 咖啡中心丨乌克兰基辅丨Goldakovskiy Group Architects

Octo tower 位于乌克兰基辅，是一座咖啡中心。这栋苏维埃式现代建筑是 Alexandrivska 医院综合体的一部分。Octo tower 所在建筑原是医院的联络楼，但是从来没有发挥过其本来的作用，即保证患者从城镇层的主要医疗活动空间到上层景观空间的移动。建筑还要引导患者和医院员工下到设有 Klovskaya 地铁站入口的低层景观空间，这里在苏维埃时期曾被设计为一处潜在的防空洞，可以抵御来自北约的核打击。

Octo tower is a coffee center in the downtown of Kyiv, Ukraine. The soviet modernist building is part of the Alexandrivska Hospital complex. The Octo Tower occupies the communication building which was built but never used by its original function, which was to ensure the movement of patients to the upper levels of the landscape where the main hospital activities are situated from the city downtown level. Also to ensure the descent of patients and hospital staff to the lower level of the landscape, where the entrance to the Klovskaya metro station is located, which was planned to be used as a potential bomb shelter in the event of a nuclear strike from NATO countries during the Soviet era.

建筑的结构由两个带有电梯垂直核心筒组成，两侧楼层相错半层，通过人行坡道连接。三十米高的中庭空间三侧被砖墙围合，主入口方向采用玻璃立面，可以俯瞰广场景观。

The structure of the building consists of two vertical cores of elevators with pedestrian ramps between the floor levels shifted by half a floor height vertically. The interior space of the 30-meter atrium is closed by brick walls from the sides and back of the building and a glass facade from the main entrance overlooking the square.

改造旨在向未开发的空间引入新的功能，包括不同类型的咖啡厅、一座烘焙坊、一间咖啡店、一个共享办公空间、一个摄影工作室、两所咖啡学校、办公室、一座报告厅、夏季露台和屋顶空间。所有必要的工程系统都被重新安装，如通风、采暖、给排水、视频监控和报警系统等。结构被部分加强，并重新设置保温层。立面得到了升级，玻璃立面被彻底替换，但是完全保留了建筑原本的风格。

The reconstruction process aimed to introduce new features into the unexplored space. The new features are: several types of cafes, a bakery, a coffee shop, a coworking space, a photo studio, two coffee schools, offices, a lecture hall, summer terraces and a roof area. All the necessary engineering systems were re-installed: ventilation, heating, water supply and sewerage, video surveillance and alarm systems. Partially reinforced and re-insulated structures. Roofs and terraces have been constructed. The facades were updated, the glass facade was completely replaced, with full preservation of the original style of the building.

建筑室内的设计保留了场所的精神，墙面、各种完成面和材料肌理也维持原样。设计的重点在保留和修复，而不是带来新的元素。设有工程系统的电梯井和卫生间采用透明天花，打开了一道富有未来感的视野。楼层间增设了金属连桥，保证了每个区域的功能自治。一个出口通往屋顶空间，可以举办各种活动。

The interiors of the building were designed to preserve the spirit of the place and the original state of the walls, surfaces, and textures. The emphasis was on restoration and preservation, not on bringing something new. In the elevator shafts, engineering systems were placed, as well as bathrooms with a transparent ceiling, opening a futuristic view into the elevator shaft. Metal bridges were added between the floors to ensure the autonomous functioning of individual zones. An exit was made to the roof, which is used for events.

同时，年轻的现代艺术家们参与绘制了电梯井和建筑立面，将景观、城市广场和建筑室内空间连结成了一个完整的艺术表达。

At the same time, young artists working in the modernist tradition were involved to paint the elevator shafts and facades of the building, linking the landscape, city square, building interiors into one whole artistic statement.

The interiors used furniture of Ukrainian manufacturers, created specifically for OCTO TOWER, as well as original Soviet pieces of furniture.
