酒店设计：雕塑风格的外立面

Populus：一棵 "树 "在丹佛生长

POPULUS: A ‘TREE’ IS GROWING IN DENVER

Studio Gang 与房地产公司 Urban Villages 合作，设计了丹佛的标志性新地标 Populus。该酒店将为丹佛市中心带来一个充满活力的新社交中心，向城市和远处的落基山脉开放。酒店位于一个突出的街角地段，其三角形、楔形的体量使其三面都能与周边环境相映成趣。Populus 将迎接科罗拉多州的游客，连接城市的市政、艺术和商业区。

Studio Gang partners with real estate firm Urban Villages in the design of Populus, a new and iconic landmark in Denver. The hotel will introduce a vibrant new social center in downtown Denver, opening itself up to both the city and to the Rocky Mountains beyond. Its location along a prominent corner site informs the triangular, wedge-like volume which greets the neighborhood equally on all three sides. Populus will welcome both visitors to Colorado, connecting the city’s civic, arts, and commercial districts.

由 Studio Gang 设计的亲生物外墙

THE BIOPHILIC FACADE BY STUDIO GANG

丹佛最新的地标性建筑 Populus 将由 Studio Gang 与 Urban Villages 共同设计，外墙将采用雕塑风格。该建筑将容纳一家拥有265间客房的酒店、一个公共屋顶酒吧和观景台、活动空间以及一个由高达30英尺的窗户框住的活跃的地面大厅。建筑外立面的纹理和韵律来自于建筑的功能。每个垂直扇贝的宽度相当于一间酒店客房的宽度，而窗户的大小则随着公共和私人空间的变化而变化。

Designed by Studio Gang with Urban Villages, Denver’s newest landmark Populus will be wrapped in a sculptural facade. The building will host a 265-room hotel, a public rooftop bar and viewing deck, event spaces, and an activated ground-level lobby framed by windows which rise up to a height of thirty feet. The textural and rhythmic facade is informed by the building’s function. Each vertical scallop spans the width of a hotel room, while its windows change in size in response to public and private spaces.

独特的外立面表现了科罗拉多州杨树上的图案。这些树木在生长过程中会脱落下部的树枝，在树干的纸质树皮上留下深色的眼状痕迹。为了在丹佛的气候条件下有效工作，车窗的细节处理也更加细致。在外部，每扇窗户的 "盖子 "都会根据太阳方位向外伸展，为室内遮阳，从而提高建筑的节能性能。它们还能整齐地疏导雨水，使外墙长期保持清爽。

The unique facade expresses the patterning found on Colorado’s aspen trees. As these trees grow, they shed their lower branches, leaving behind dark, eye-shaped marks on the papery bark of their trunks. The windows are further detailed to perform efficiently in the Denver climate. On the exterior, the ‘lids’ of each window stretch outward according to solar orientation to shade the interior, improving the building’s energy performance. They also neatly channel rainwater to keep the facade looking fresh over time.

让人联想起森林地面的大堂

A LOBBY TO EVOKE A FOREST FLOOR

随着 Studio Gang 在丹佛的 Populus 项目继续推进，Wildman Chalmers 设计公司与 Fowler Fowler 建筑事务所合作设计的充满自然灵感的室内设计图片也已公布。这些空间的设计让人联想到阿斯彭丛林园，与 Studio Gang 的亲生物建筑相得益彰。一进入大楼，一楼大厅和餐厅就会让人联想到森林的氛围。

双层挑高的空间将通过高达 30 英尺的阿斯彭眼窗采光。

这里将展示由灵芝制成的挂毯，灵芝是一种由蘑菇制成的皮革替代品，它的质地和泥土芳香将为森林氛围锦上添花。棕色的混凝土地板就像散落的鹅卵石，而木板墙则是用甲虫杀死的树木制成的，这是影响科罗拉多州森林的一个主要问题。

As Studio Gang’s Populus continues to progress in Denver, Images have been unveiled of the nature-inspired interiors by Wildman Chalmers Design in partnership with Fowler Fowler Architecture. These spaces are curated to evoke an Aspen grove and complement the biophilic architecture by Studio Gang. Upon entering the building, a moody ground floor lobby and restaurant will evoke the atmosphere of a forest floor. The double-height space will be illuminated through Aspen-eye windows up to thirty feet high. Here will be displayed a tapestry made from Reishi — a leather-alternative made from mushrooms — which will add to the forest-inspired atmosphere with its texture and earthy aroma. A brown-stained concrete floor will resemble scattered pebbles, while a wood-shingled wall will be crafted from repurposed beetle kill trees, a major problem affecting the forests of Colorado.

科罗拉多州的鸟鸣声会随着季节和时间的变化而变化，这些鸟鸣声是由 Jacob Job 在风景优美的落基山国家公园录制的。这些当地鸟歌是由科罗拉多州的自然保护主义者和自然声音录音艺术家雅各布-乔布（Jacob Job）在风景秀丽的落基山国家公园录制的。与此同时，上方的客房和套房象征着上升的树枝。屋顶餐厅、酒吧和接待套间充满了色彩和自然光，模仿了郁郁葱葱的树冠。

This natural inspiration will be furthered with elevator recordings of Colorado bird songs that vary according to season and time of day. These local bird songs were recorded in the scenic Rocky Mountain National Park by Jacob Job, a Colorado-based conservationist and natural sound recording artist. Meanwhile, the guest rooms and suites above symbolize the ascending branches. The rooftop restaurant, bar, and hospitality suites are filled with color and natural light, mimicking the lush canopy of a tree.

美国首家碳补偿酒店

THE COUNTRY’S FIRST CARBON-POSITIVE HOTEL

作为美国首家碳补偿酒店，Studio Gang 的 Populus 通过与丹佛市外的森林和农业合作，抵消了酒店的碳足迹和运营碳足迹。这些举措将在整个生命周期内封存比建筑排放更多的碳--对气候变化产生净积极影响，让地球变得更美好。通过与美国林业局合作的 "一棵树"（One Tree Planted）项目，已经在科罗拉多州贡尼森县种植了 7 万多棵树。

As the first carbon positive hotel in the United States, the embodied and operational carbon footprint of Studio Gang’s Populus is being offset through forest and agricultural collaborations outside Denver. These initiatives will sequester more carbon than the building emits throughout its lifecycle — having a net positive impact on climate change and leaving the planet in a better place. Already, over 70,000 trees were planted in Gunnison County, Colorado in partnership with One Tree Planted vis-a-vis the United States Forest Service.
