URI Celebrates Opening of Brookside Apartments
The 500-bed residence hall adds new amenities on campus
The building establishes a new campus residential precinct and restores an adjacent brook
Sasaki设计了罗德岛大学一座含500个床位的学生宿舍及其周围的景观平台,并恢复了一条有历史意义的河流白角河(White Horn Brook),及其位于罗德岛金士顿校区西北端的西岸湿地。
为达到目前政府对湿地的要求,这项工程移除了一些现场已有的功能,并将这片百年来位于洪水划定范围内的河滩结构进行了重新设计。
The restored natural landscape and brook are integral parts of the residential experience and an asset for the broader campus community.
Plazas and courtyards create places for community gathering between the building common spaces and the natural riparian landscape
The entry plaza is set at a crossroads for multiple campus experiences
公寓项目的设计以帮助高年级学生适应从大学到职业生活的过度为目的。公寓单元设计为有 4 个或 6 个床位的套间,含有整套厨房和私人卫生间。公寓楼被设计为两栋长条形的建筑,它们的布局不仅向历史河床致敬,还分割出了庭院,并让每个房间都能在早上或傍晚照射到阳光。
The café provides food options for students, a place to hang out with a friend, and supports events held in the adjacent multipurpose room
一楼的公共空间着重社交生活,配备一间示范厨房、便利售货站和学生交谊厅。这些室内空间都可直接通往两个各具特色的户外景观庭院。南面的庭院面向主校区,更具有公共性。建筑北部的庭院更注重私密性,是住户的教学花园。
The main lobby is Brookside’s living room, supporting both intimate and large gatherings with fixed and flexible furniture.
Social spaces throughout the building provide a visual and material connection to the natural landscape, a theme throughout the project
A simple palette of materials, combined with breaks in building massing and gentle manipulation of fenestration help create a sense of intimacy and identity for the community
Lower massing and site walls form the eastern face of the project create a varied residential scale and a windbreak to protect courtyards from northern winter winds
The design creates a garden-like setting where landscape, furniture and stormwater infrastructure are integrated into a seamless and sheltered environment
Subtle but robust natural materials and details provide variety and human scale in a residential environment
除了对新学生宿舍两座庭院的开发,项目的设计还包括停车场和机动车道,以及景观雨洪管理区域。沿白角河及其湿地的大片景观恢复区也包含在整个项目之中。
布鲁克塞德公寓于2020年上半年剪彩启用。
Glazing along the first floor “floats” the building above the ground plane and the integrates the interior common spaces—including the café—with the outdoor plazas.
