AURORA 10 住宅楼丨葡萄牙丨Tiago do Vale Architects

在郊区住宅开发中进行设计通常是一个颇具规模的城市规划挑战。这类开发的布局往往缺乏城市整体战略的指导，难以塑造或强化其城市特征和认同感，无论是在城市运作层面还是在提升生活质量方面，均存在一定局限。因此，最终建成的建筑往往与周边环境缺乏联系，难以创造有意义的场所，也无法形成我们在成熟、成功的城市街区中所熟悉的有机街道体系。

Designing in suburban housing developments is, in general, an urbanistic challenge of considerable scale: their layouts rarely stem from overarching strategic intentions for the city, limiting its ability to consolidate its identity and urban characteristics or enhance them, both in terms of urban performance and the quality of life it provides. The result is, in most cases, the construction of buildings that do not establish relationships with their surroundings, fail to create meaningful places and do not produce the structured, organic streets we recognise in consolidated and successful urban areas.

Aurora 10 大楼试图通过重新诠释地块的设计来弥补这类开发模式的不足。一方面，它积极响应周边环境的特征和需求，关注现有的视觉轴线；另一方面，它为未来的城市延续性和更丰富的空间互动奠定基础，尤其是通过参与并塑造公共空间，使建筑与城市形成更加紧密的联系。

The Aurora 10 Building aims to mitigate some of the limitations of this type of development by reinterpreting the design of the plot in such a way that, on one hand, responds to the characteristics of the surrounding area and its needs, seeking existing visual alignments, and, on the other hand, paves the way for the establishment of continuities, richer relationships with present and future interventions, and, above all, participates in and designs public space.

尽管建筑规划要求极高的理性化设计，但主立面的处理打破了单一体块的厚重感。立面利用光影的微妙变化，成为街道的背景，并通过垂直面板的构造打破阳台水平延展的抽象感。这两种形式语言相互对比，在光影变化下时而柔和，时而鲜明，同时也呼应了成熟城市中心街道上典型的垂直韵律。

Although the programme requires an extremely rationalised design, the treatment of the main façade breaks the monolithic feel with a delicate play of light and shadow that forms the backdrop to the street, suggesting vertical panels that simultaneously disrupt the abstract horizontal gesture of the balconies - creating an intriguing contradiction between these two formal devices, which changes with the light: sometimes more subtle, other times more assertive - while also referencing the vertical rhythms characteristic of the dense streets of consolidated city centres.

在郊区，所谓的“公共空间”通常只是散落建筑之间的零散空地，这种情况无法孕育高质量的城市环境。因此，设计的关键在于提出一个能够主动融入城市空间的建筑，使其在公共与私人领域的过渡空间中延展自身的多功能性，同时赋予共享空间更多的价值，模糊街道公共空间与地块私密空间之间的界限。沿街人行道延伸至覆盖式商业廊道，并在北侧形成一个台阶兼小型露天剧场的入口空间，为市民提供休憩和社交场所，未来还将由一棵紫葳树（Jacaranda）提供遮荫。这一空间设计成为北侧楼梯的主题基础，并塑造出一个建筑标志——不仅定义了大楼的身份，同时也在城市尺度上产生影响。该标志性元素从周边建筑中汲取灵感，成为街道尽头的视觉焦点，与环境相互呼应。

The “public space” of the suburbs has generally consisted of the leftover areas between scattered buildings: a situation that has not produced qualified city. As a result, it was crucial to propose a building aware of its context and capable of actively participating in the urban space, either by extending its multifunctional programme into the transitional spaces between public and private domains, or by valuating those shared spaces, blurring the boundaries between the public realm associated with the street and the private space within the plot. The sidewalks that border the street extend into a covered commercial gallery, culminating in a northern access point configured simultaneously both as stairs and an auditorium, providing a space for rest and gathering, which a Jacaranda tree will shelter in time. This design serves as the foundation of the theme from which the staircase of the northern block emerges, creating a landmark (which defines the building’s identity but expresses itself at an urban scale) that draws cues from the neighbouring constructions and crowns the long street that ends at its steps, mindful of the context and responding appropriately to its surroundings.

建筑的平面布局高度系统化，结构呈现出简洁而有规律的节奏。通过强调建筑面积的高效利用，避免了复杂几何形态和不必要的流线浪费，从而最大化了主要功能空间的可用性。这一策略尤其使得三居室公寓得以增加一个无固定功能的附加空间，居民可以根据自身需求自由使用。

With a highly systematised plan, the structure presents a simple and regular rhythm. This approach, together with a central focus on efficiency in the use of building areas, avoided complex geometries and lost space in circulation, maximising the usable space designated for the primary functions. Thus, it was possible, in particular, to provide the three-bedroom apartments with an additional space, without a predefined function, which can be appropriated in a variety of ways.

公共区域的设计也同样受到高度重视，因为它们是居民和访客进入建筑的第一感受。公共区域，common areas© João Morgado

受亚速尔群岛（Azores）传统民居“家屋中心”（middle-of-the-house）概念的启发，三居室公寓设有一个宽敞的入口及内部分流空间，该区域无特定用途，可根据需求灵活调整：可作为学习区、工作坊、图书室、办公室，甚至可通过额外隔断，将入口区域与卧室分布空间分隔开，形成储藏间、洗衣房、食品储藏室、衣帽间等多种用途。这个空间的使用方式仅受想象力的限制，既可满足额外的居家需求，也可用于居民的兴趣爱好、小型家庭业务，甚至提供灵活的临时用途，以弥补公寓其他区域无法满足的需求。这种超越功能性的灵活性，成为提升住宅生活质量的重要因素。

Inspired by the “middle-of-the-house” concept of Azorean vernacular architecture, the three-bedroom apartments feature a generous space related to the entrance and interior circulation, without a specific function, which can be adapted for various uses: study space, workshop, library, office, or even -through additional partitioning, separating the entrance area from the distribution space for the bedrooms- storage, laundry area, pantry, closet, among others. The use of this space is only limited by imagination, and it can meet supplementary domestic needs, accommodate residents’ hobbies, small home businesses, or even transient and occasional needs that cannot be satisfied elsewhere in the apartment. This flexibility, which goes beyond the strictly functional, is a strong precursor of quality of life in housing.

所有空间的几何形态简洁明了，便于高效利用。内饰采用本地木材（橡木和栗木）及当地生产的 Estremoz 大理石用于湿区。外立面结合了外挑阳台和内凹玻璃开口，使整体形成通透的玻璃立面，在充分利用开阔视野的同时，保证私密性并减少太阳辐射带来的热量积聚。

The spaces feature elementary geometries, allowing for simple and efficient occupation. The finishes are executed using domestic woods (oak and chestnut) and domestic (Estremoz) marble in the wet areas. The projecting balconies and recessed glazed openings allow for an integral glass façade, making the most of the open view while guaranteeing privacy and minimising solar gains.

Aurora 10 大楼希望通过光影与形态的互动，使街道呈现出更具城市特征的整体感。建筑框架被塑造成一个丰富、抽象且极具轻盈感的对象，静静地伫立在本地开采的花岗岩基座之上。这一设计既富有技术逻辑，又展现出自然流畅的有机性；既简约克制，又蕴含丰富层次。它强调了建筑与街道的融合，使建筑不仅仅是一个独立存在的实体，更成为街道景观的重要组成部分，关注城市与社区尺度，并为未来的城市设计与发展提供了思考和启示。

The Aurora 10 Building aims to imbue the street with a more urban and integrated character, using light and form to transform the lot’s framework into a rich, abstract, and remarkably lightweight object, resting on a base of locally quarried granite. Through a design that is both technical and organic, simple and complex, the importance of incorporating the street and the building is emphasised, ensuring that the proposal is not merely about it existing, but also offers something to the street, mindful of the scales of cities and neighbourhoods, and capable of leaving cues for the discussion and design of future urban interventions.
