设计特色：      

项目 – Steven Holl建筑事务所在赫尔辛基文化区Taka-Töölö推出了"Meander"项目，通过其独特的蜿蜒形态重新定义了当代城市生活。这座建于2024年完工的8886平方米住宅项目包含115套独特公寓，沿着180米长的蜿蜒结构展开，建筑高度在二层到七层之间变化。

建筑最引人注目的特征是其对空间的概念性处理，蛇形建筑创造出一系列精心编排的花园和公共区域。立面设计灵感来自"玻璃瓶中的木船"这一诗意意象，通过承重混凝土墙和水平铰接玻璃板的精妙组合实现。建筑外观采用当地芬兰云杉木材，用于外部包覆、阳台和窗户，进一步强化了这一建筑表达。

项目在环境性能方面表现卓越，配备十六口地热井用于供暖制冷，并在整栋建筑中采用辐射地板系统。大面积绿色屋顶、太阳能阵列和雨水收集系统展现了全面的可持续发展策略。室内空间特点是高窗和私人阳台，提供波罗的海地平线或赫斯珀利安公园的景观视野。

Meander项目的与众不同之处在于其对细节的关注和对艺术整合的承诺。定制元素包括门把手、灯具，甚至铸造的狗碗都呼应着建筑的蜿蜒形态。项目还特别邀请芬兰视觉艺术家Fanny Tavastila为每位住户的家和公共区域创作独特艺术品，建立起建筑与艺术之间的无缝对话。

团队 –  Steven Holl建筑事务所成立于1977年纽约，现已发展成为一家在纽约、哈德逊谷和北京设有办公室的国际知名建筑事务所。在Steven Holl与合伙人Noah Yaffe、Roberto Bannura、Dimitra Tsachrelia和Olaf Schmidt的领导下，事务所通过其对空间和光线的概念性处理方式，持续推动着建筑创新的边界。

事务所以其现象学建筑方法著称，每个项目都从其特定环境和功能需求出发，创造独特的空间体验。他们的作品组合涵盖从文化机构到教育设施等多个领域，标志性项目包括赫尔辛基当代艺术博物馆（1998年）和最近完成的上海中粮文化健康中心。

事务所的设计理念强调将可持续技术与前瞻性城市主义相结合。他们对环境管理的承诺体现在对自然光的创新运用、精良的材料选择和先进的建筑系统中。这种方法为他们赢得了众多声望显赫的奖项，包括美国建筑师协会金奖（2012年）和日本高松宫殿下世界文化奖（2014年），确立了他们在诗意建筑表达与环境责任相结合方面的先驱地位。

Feature：

Project - Steven Holl Architects has unveiled Meander, an innovative residential development in Helsinki's cultural district Taka-Töölö that redefines contemporary urban living through its distinctive serpentine form. The 8,886-square-meter project, completed in 2024, features 115 unique apartments arranged along a 180-meter meandering structure that varies in height from two to seven floors.

The building's most striking feature is its conceptual approach to void spaces, where the serpentine form creates a series of carefully orchestrated gardens and communal areas. The facade design evokes the poetic image of a wooden ship inside a glass bottle, achieved through a sophisticated combination of load-bearing concrete walls and horizontally hinged glass panels. This architectural expression is further enhanced by the use of locally sourced Finnish spruce for exterior cladding, balconies, and windows.

The project excels in its environmental performance, incorporating sixteen geothermal wells for heating and cooling, alongside radiant floor systems throughout. The extensive green roof, solar array, and rainwater collection systems demonstrate a comprehensive approach to sustainability. Interior spaces are characterized by high windows and private balconies offering views toward either the Baltic Sea horizon or Hesperianpuisto Park.

What sets Meander apart is its attention to detail and commitment to artistic integration. Custom elements including door handles, light fixtures, and even cast dog bowls echo the building's meandering form. The project also features unique artworks by Finnish visual artist Fanny Tavastila, created specifically for each resident's home and common areas, establishing a seamless dialogue between architecture and art.

Design Team - Steven Holl Architects, established in 1977 in New York City, has evolved into a globally renowned architecture practice with offices in New York, Hudson Valley, and Beijing. Under the leadership of Steven Holl and partners Noah Yaffe, Roberto Bannura, Dimitra Tsachrelia, and Olaf Schmidt, the firm has consistently pushed the boundaries of architectural innovation through its conceptual approach to space and light.

The practice is distinguished by its phenomenological approach to architecture, where each project emerges from its specific context and program to create unique spatial experiences. Their portfolio spans from cultural institutions to educational facilities, with landmark projects including the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki (1998) and the recent Cofco Cultural and Health Center in Shanghai.

The firm's design philosophy emphasizes the integration of sustainable technologies with forward-thinking urbanism. Their commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in their innovative use of natural light, sophisticated material selections, and advanced building systems. This approach has earned them numerous prestigious accolades, including the AIA Gold Medal (2012) and the Praemium Imperiale Award (2014), establishing their position as pioneers in combining poetic architectural expression with environmental responsibility.
