奥古斯丁花园住宅综合体丨拉脱维亚里加丨Sampling Architects

奥古斯丁花园是一个住宅综合体，由一栋新艺术风格的公寓楼与庭院中的低层工业建筑构成。项目包括对沿街建筑立面的修复，以及对庭院建筑的重建，使其适应居住功能。街区庭院被改造为一座当代城市花园，其后工业美学呼应了“适应性再利用”的理念——即无论原有建筑的建筑价值如何，都应予以保留并转化为新的使用功能。

Augustine’s Garden is a residential ensemble consisting of an Art Nouveau tenement house and former low-rise industrial buildings in the courtyard. The project included the renovation of the facades of the street house and the reconstruction of the courtyard buildings, adapting them to the residential function. The courtyard of the quarter has been transformed into a contemporary urban garden, whose post-industrial aesthetic reflects the concept of adaptive reuse—to preserve and adapt to new use any building, regardless of its original architectural value.

沿街建筑为一栋采用民族浪漫主义风格设计的新艺术风格公寓楼，由Aleksandrs Vanags设计。在本项目中，该建筑立面进行了修复与保温处理。对于历史立面而言，这是一项尤为精细的工作，因此沿街一侧采用了内保温方式。外立面方面，则恢复了原有装饰细节：粗糙与光滑的抹灰面交替呈现，延续了当时拉脱维亚建筑典型的单色立面处理方式。立面通过深红色元素加以点缀——包括金属屋顶与窗台，同时将立面照明系统巧妙融入其中。一扇设计简洁的橄榄绿色大门完善了门廊空间：其中历史拱顶结构被修复，并在墙面上加入了当代照明装置。

The building on the street – an Art Nouveau tenement house designed in the National Romantic style – was designed by Aleksandrs Vanags. As part of this project, the facades of the building were renovated and insulated. This is a particularly delicate task for a historic façade, which is why it was insulated from the inside on the street side. On the outside, the original decorations of the building have been restored: rough plaster areas alternate with smooth ones, preserving the monochrome solution, typical for the Latvian architecture of the time. The façade is complemented by carmine red accents – a tin roof and window sills, in which the façade lighting is seamlessly integrated. An olive-green gate with a laconic design completes the gatehouse: there the historic vaulting is restored and contemporary lighting elements are added on the wall.

穿过门廊进入庭院，一幅出人意料的景象随即展开——城市中心中的一片绿色绿洲。庭院四周环绕着曾经的工业与作坊建筑，这些建筑在不同时期经历了多次改造，其立面仍然保留着这些历史痕迹：从20世纪初的陶砖与金属梁过梁，到苏联时期广泛使用的白色硅酸盐砖。不同年代材料的拼贴，与曾承担功能作用的简易钢构件共同构成这一独特的立面景观。

Through the gatehouse, one enters the courtyard, where an unexpected scene appears—a green oasis in the heart of the city. The courtyard is surrounded by former industrial and workshop buildings that have been reconstructed several times over the years. The facades still bear witness to these reconstructions, with building materials from different eras, ranging from the ceramic bricks and metal beam lintels of the early 20th century to the white silicate bricks popular during the Soviet period. This collage is complemented by various rudimentary steel elements that once had a functional role.

花园被视为一个具有整合作用的社区空间要素。项目拒绝延续将庭院作为停车空间的常见做法，而是引入自行车停放设施与景观绿化。同时，通过建筑设计手段强化社区归属感。一层设置大面积开窗，并配置低矮且宽阔的混凝土窗台，供人们在夏日休憩。开启窗户时，室内空间自然延展至室外。庭院中设有小型露台，其地面未采用架空木平台或其他铺装，而是以稳定的碎石基层为主，使户外家具直接置于其上。这些空间融入周边绿意之中，弱化边界感，同时由于整个庭院为共有空间，也在开放与私密之间取得平衡。

The garden is conceived as a unifying, community-building element. The project refuses to continue the common practice of dedicating courtyards to parking, instead providing bicycle parking and landscaping. Also architectural tools are employed to foster a sense of community. Ground floor windows are large, with low and wide concrete windowsills on which to sit on hot summer days. When opening the windows, the indoor space flows organically into the outdoor space. Outside, there are small terraces, deliberately not surfaced with raised boards or other materials, but with a solid gravel base on which outdoor furniture can be placed. They are thus immersed in the surrounding greenery, without any indication of boundaries, but at the same time allowing a relative privacy, since the entire courtyard is in fact common property.

项目的设计理念基于适应性再利用，旨在尽可能减少新建体量与新材料的使用，同时最大限度地保留既有结构，而不论其原有的建筑价值如何。作为一种设计方法，适应性再利用不仅赋予建筑新的使用功能，同时也提升其审美价值。建筑内部空间布局已被调整以适应居住需求，综合体中既包括小型复式公寓，也包括带露台与法式阳台的较大户型。

The project’s concept is based on the idea of adaptive reuse, which aims for minimising the use of new buildings and materials and maximising the preservation of existing structures, regardless of their architectural value. Adaptive reuse as an approach increases the architectural value of buildings, giving them not only a new function but also aesthetic qualities. The interior layout of the buildings has been adapted to the residential function. The complex comprises both small studio duplexes and larger apartments with terraces and French balconies.
