沃夫拉生活丨AGi 建筑事务所

AGi建筑事务所设计的Wafra Living在科威特提出了一个创新的住房组织，这是一种新型的多家庭生活方式，以作为对国家住房需求的社会回应。设计以现代生活要求为指导，同时平衡传统规范，将城市生活重新引入到建筑层面。Wafra Living被设计成一个远离街道的高层建筑，一个l形的建筑定义了街道的边缘。它的设计理念是在社区内实现隐私性最大化的同时，又能提供充足的自然光线和可用的室内外公共空间。为了给塔楼公寓提供更好的视野，对其前面建筑的底层进行了削减。

Wafra Living‘s design by AGi architects proposes an innovative housing organization in Kuwait, a new type of multi-family living as a social response to housing needs in the country. The design is guided by the requirements contemporary life while balancing traditional norms, and reintroduces urban life to the building level. Wafra Living is designed as a high-rise building set back from the street, with an L-shaped building defining the street edge. It is conceived to maximize privacy within the community, whilst providing ample natural light and usable indoor and outdoor common spaces. Cuts have been made on the ground floors of the front building to provide better views for the tower apartments.

该综合体结合了国内不同水平和不同集体的规模，既有私人的，也有公共的。该建筑定义了街区的边缘，并为社区创建了一系列具有各种用途的开放空间。建筑悬臂远离地面，将街道生活引入建筑中。一层向社区开放，街道上有无障碍的零售设施，融入城市肌理，并通过倾斜的阶梯花园连接到一个高广场。该项目由16种居住类型组成，有两卧室到四卧室的复式住宅，并分布在五个核心区域，以满足各种租户的需求。

The complex combines at different levels domestic and collective scales that are both private and public. The architecture defines the edge of the block and creates a series of open spaces within the plot for the community, with various uses. The building cantilevers off the ground to draw street life into the building. The ground floor level opens up to the neighborhood with accessible retail facilities on the street level, integrating into the urban fabric, and links up to a high square through an inclined, stepped garden. The project is composed of 16 types of living typologies -ranging from two bedroom to four bedroom duplex- distributed across five cores to cater to a variety of tenants.

该项目的公共设施包括多个花园、健身房、游泳池、儿童游乐区、壁球场、公共露台和社区多功能空间。创建一个“高广场”，为所有租户提供了一个大型的私人公共区域，包括各种小地块的景观、游泳池和通往健身房的通道，在更私人的环境中享受休闲活动。

The project public amenities include multiple gardens, gyms, pools, kids playing areas, squash court, public terraces and community multi-purpose space. A “High Square” is created. It acts as a large-scale, private communal area for all tenants that includes various landscaped pockets, pools, and access to the gym to enjoy leisure activities in a more private setting.
