埃德加·爱伦·坡大楼丨波兰丨De Rungs Arquitectos + Firmaa

“挑战不仅在于修复这栋建筑，更在于理解它如何在其所处环境中再次发挥作用。我们决定保留它，因为它依然能够为城市提供有价值的内容。” —— 亚历山大·德·朗

“The challenge was not only to restore the building, but also to understand how it could be useful again in its surroundings. We decided to preserve it because it still has something valuable to offer the city”. — Alexandre de Rungs

该项目位于墨西哥城波兰科（Polanco）街区，埃德加·爱伦·坡大楼最初建于1957年，作为办公空间使用。随着时间推移，这一物业逐渐被闲置并出现破败，但其结构依然稳固。这为将其转型为以短期居住为主的住宅综合体提供了契机。

Located in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City, Edgar Allan Poe building was originally constructed in 1957 as office space. Over time, the property fell into disuse and disrepair, though the structure remained sound. This presented an opportunity to transform the building into a residential complex designed primarily for short-term stays.

项目的目标不仅是翻新建筑，更在于拓展其潜力。在保留柱网、竖向交通核心以及设备管井的前提下，室内布局、立面与材料体系均被彻底重塑。相较于新建建筑，这种方式显著降低了环境影响，同时保留了该场地建筑历史的重要一章。

The goal was not just to renovate the building, but also to expand its potential. While preserving its columns, vertical core, and service ducts, the interior layout, façades, and material palette were completely redefined. This approach reduced the environmental impact significantly compared to new construction while preserving an important chapter of the site’s architectural history.

新的城市居住方式

NEW URBAN LIVING

翻新后的建筑包含35个住宅单元，分布于七层及首层，单元面积在30至45平方米之间。每个单元紧凑而高效，面向当代城市生活方式进行设计。各单元之间衔接高效、功能实用，并对城市节奏保持敏感回应。室内采用本地材料、温暖色调与自然肌理，共同营造出兼具舒适性与实用性的感官氛围。

The renovated building now contains 35 residential units, ranging from 30 to 45 square meters, distributed across seven floors plus a ground floor. Each unit is compact yet functional, designed for contemporary urban living. They are efficiently connected, highly practical, and sensitive to the rhythm of the city. Inside, locally sourced materials, warm tones, and natural textures foster a sensory atmosphere where comfort meets practicality.

调节城市关系的立面

A FAÇADE THAT MEDIATES WITH THE CITY

项目的关键设计挑战之一在于其所处位置——介于两种截然不同的城市环境之间：一侧是宁静的埃德加·爱伦·坡街居住区，另一侧是交通繁忙的国家军队大道（Ejército Nacional Avenue）。▼爆炸图，exploded diagram© De Rungs Arquitectos + Firmaa

One of the key design challenges was the building’s position between two contrasting contexts: the calm, residential character of Edgar Allan Poe Street and the high traffic volume of Ejército Nacional Avenue.

为回应这一双重条件以及采光、通风、噪音与视线等因素，建筑师设计了一层外部界面，用于过滤与调节室内外之间的关系，在保护与连接之间取得平衡，使建筑既与周边环境相连，又不被其干扰。

To address this dual condition and factors such as sunlight, ventilation, noise, and views, the architects developed an envelope that filters and regulates the relationship between the interior and exterior, protecting and connecting the building to its surroundings simultaneously.

“建筑位于两条截然不同的街道之间：一条安静，另一条则是繁忙的主干道。这启发我们设计一种能够同时回应两者的外部界面。立面过滤光线、噪音与视线，在不过度干扰的前提下，让室内空间与周边环境保持联系。” —— 亚历山大·德·朗

“The building sits between two very different streets: one quiet and the other a busy avenue. This inspired us to design an envelope that could respond to both. The façade filters light, noise, and views, creating an interior space that is connected to its surroundings without being overwhelmed by them.” — Alexandre de Rungs

项目并未抹去既有存在，而是将“适应性更新”作为一种可持续的住房生产方式。这一策略延续了城市建成环境的生命，同时也尊重了时间的积淀。

Rather than erasing what already existed, the project embraces adaptation as a sustainable approach to producing housing. This strategy extends the life of the city’s built environment and honors the passage of time.
