BIG作品T形公寓的布局，交错的“棋盘式”外立面

该项目连接了纽约哈莱姆区活跃的125街商业走廊和较为安静的126街坊，是一个混合用途的开发项目，在街道层面设有一所护理学校，在其上方设有住宅公寓。其中三分之一的住宅单元中是经济适用房，这些单元加强并提供了社区内的住房多样性。

East 126独特的T形地块提供了各种单元尺寸和布局组织，同时还加强了与相邻建筑的连接关系。该建筑南面的悬挑部分似乎盘旋在125街的现有商业建筑之上，在不断发展的住宅区街景中创造了一个动态的组成部分。

Bridging Harlem’s active 125th Street corridor and the quieter 126th Street, The Smile is a mixed-used development that houses a nursing school on the street level and residential apartment units above. One-third of these residential units contain affordable housing units that strengthen and provide housing diversity within the neighborhood. East 126’s unique T-shaped footprint offers a diverse set of unit sizes and layout organizations, while also strengthening the connection relationship with the neighboring buildings. This southern cantilevered portion of the building appears to hover over the existing commercial building on 125th Street, creating a dynamic component in the evolving uptown streetscape.

沿着126街，建筑的外立面随着上升而逐渐向内倾斜，以优雅的姿态软化了坚硬的线性街道边缘，从而使建筑的体量符合城市的分区标准，同时使住宅街道获得更多的阳光。交错的棋盘式外墙面板系统的使用允许在每个单元中使用落地窗，为住户创建了城市的开放视野。公寓单元可俯瞰东哈莱姆区（East Harlem）中央公园（Central Park）以及哈林河（Harlem River）和布隆克斯区（Bronx）的北部景观。

Along 126th Street the building’s facade gently slopes inwards as it rises upwards, softening the hard linear street edge in an elegant gesture. This architectural move enables the building massing to comply with the city’s zoning envelope and at the same time enables the residential street to have more direct sunlight. The use of an interlocking checkerboard facade panel system allows for floor-to-ceiling windows in each unit, ?creating open views of the city for the tenants. Apartment units overlook East Harlem towards Central Park as well as northern views over the Harlem River and the Bronx.

入口用彩色混凝土铺砌而成，从邻里的壁画中汲取灵感，并为建筑带来了一个独特而生动的欢迎入口。居民的内部设施包括健身中心，媒体室，休闲水疗中心，社交休息室和可俯瞰天窗的三层画廊的工作区。

这个空间突出了现有建筑砖立面与新建筑裸露的钢结构的融合。屋顶设施包括涡流浴缸，游泳池和屋顶露台，屋顶露台被异形的景观所围绕，为各种类型的社交活动和聚会提供了空间。

The entrances are tiled with vibrant splashes of colored concrete that draw inspiration from the neighborhood’s murals and provides a unique, lively welcome into the building. The interior amenities for residents include a fitness center, media room, relaxation spas, social lounges, and workspace which overlooks a skylight-lit three-storey gallery. This interstitial space highlights the integration of the existing building brick facade and the new building’s exposed steel structure.   Rooftop amenities include whirlpool spas, a swimming pool, and roof decks surrounded by shaped landscape features that provide spaces for various types of social activities and gatherings.

外表皮采用黑色纹理金属面板，而内部居住空间则是中性，简约的色调。在整个内部空间中，由木材，裸露的混凝土结构和裸露的钢桁架组成。更多的公共设施空间将外墙金属板和彩色瓷砖以及更中性的住宅材料结合在一起。   

While the exterior envelope is blackened textured metal panels the interior residential spaces are a neutral, minimal palette. Throughout the interiors, spaces consist of raw architectural materials of wood, exposed concrete structure, and exposed steel trusses. The more public amenities spaces combine the languages of the exterior facade metal panel and colored tiles alongside the more neutral residential materials.
