玻璃外观建筑：波士顿希尔顿花园酒店

在波士顿医疗区布鲁克莱恩边缘繁忙的十字路口，这座优雅的弯曲和雕塑建筑巧妙地将青翠的奥姆斯特德翡翠项链与附近的商业和住宅街区结合在一起，特别锚定了其突出的位置。这座建筑采用拉紧的玻璃包裹，由三个阶梯状的体量组成，对其独特的城市环境非常敏感。

At a busy crossroads on the Brookline edge of Boston’s medical district, this gracefully curved and sculptural building deftly knits the verdant Olmstead Emerald Necklace with nearby commercial and residential blocks, decisively anchoring its prominent site. Wrapped in taut glass and comprised of three stepped masses, the building is highly responsive to its unique, urban setting.

在一个具有挑战性的三角形场地上，创建一座具有显著视觉趣味的建筑，同时呈现独特的城市酒店体验，这是该项目的中心目标，建筑的每一面都对不同的环境情况作出反应。三个玻璃体环绕着场地并达到不同的高度。

该建筑向下延伸至  Emerald Necklace ，让光线进入公园，而城市街道边缘变得更高，以迎接邻近的朗伍德医疗区，并在布鲁克莱恩和波士顿之间创造了一个门。烧结玻璃面板产生纹理和柔和反射的视觉渐变，减少眩光、不必要的热量增加——这是玻璃建筑的常见问题。

Creating a building of significant visual interest that also presents a unique urban hotel experience was a central objective for this project on a challenging triangular site with each face of the building responding to distinct contextual situations. Three glassy volumes wrap around the site and reach varying heights. The building steps down to the Emerald Necklace to allow light into the park, while the urban street edges grow taller to greet the neighboring Longwood Medical District and create a gateway between Brookline and Boston. Fritted glass panels create a visual gradient of textures and soft reflections that reduce glare, unwanted heat gain, and bird strikes – a common issue with glass buildings.

以前，该站点是一个已停业的加油站的所在地，这对于穿过布鲁克莱恩和波士顿之间的行人来说既不好也不安全。新酒店不仅改变了场地的规划，而且还通过改进人行道、人行横道、更新交通和路灯的新交通模式以及带自行车架、维修站和饮水机的新自行车道改变了街景体验. 该网站现在的步行得分为 93，自行车得分为 86。

Previously, the site was home to a defunct gas station that was unpleasant and unsafe for pedestrians crossing between Brookline and Boston. The new hotel not only changed the site’s program, but it also transformed the streetscape experience with improved sidewalks, crosswalks, a new traffic pattern with updated traffic and street lights, and a new bike path with bike racks, a repair station, and drinking fountains. The site now boasts a walk score of 93 and a bike score of 86.

强大而包容的公共性，以及开发商对邻居关注的承诺，引领了这种针对特定地点的解决方案的发展，其形式响应了城镇的各种需求和愿望。面向Brookline Avenue 和 Route 9 繁华十字路口的显眼角落可让您欣赏到公共大厅和休息区的美景，欢迎每个人在这里放松自己。作为社区发展的催化剂，酒店的设计源于一个公平和包容的社区过程，并设有开放式研讨会，以鼓励开发商和城镇成员之间的对话。

Robust and inclusive public discourse, along with developer’s commitment to neighbors’ concerns, led the way for this site-specific solution whose form responds to various needs and desires of the town. The prominent corner facing the bustling intersection of Brookline Avenue and Route 9 invites views into the public lobby and seating area where everyone is welcome to relax near the fireplace. A catalyst for community development, the hotel’s design grew from an equitable and inclusive community process with open workshops to encourage dialogues between the developer and town members.

这家酒店拥有社区会议空间、休闲而温馨的大堂休息区和一家以当地美食和传说为特色的独特餐厅，这家酒店是附近比较受欢迎的，并吸引寻求非一般体验的旅客。酒店的公共区域创造了一个受欢迎的社交空间，当地拥有的独一无二的餐厅和酒吧使大厅充满活力，并延伸到街景，在公园旁边创建了一个户外用餐露台。

Featuring community meeting space, a casual and inviting lobby seating area and a singular restaurant that celebrates local cuisine and lore, this hotel is a solid and welcome presence for the neighborhood and appeals to travelers seeking a non-generic experience. The hotel’s public areas create a welcome and much-needed social space where the locally owned, one-of-a-kind restaurant and bar enlivens the arrivals lobby and spills out on to the streetscape to create an outdoor dining patio next to the park.
