Biophilic 公寓

场地与灵感

项目是位于阿姆斯特丹Zeeburgereiland岛的中心面对Ij河的一栋小楼，由两栋复式楼组成，每栋120平方米。项目对荷兰的历史、习俗和文化非常敏感，以荷兰的航海历史为出发点。因此，"自由航行者"成为了一艘现代的"陆地上的船"，其中不乏对风、水和航海的引用。在属于水的陆地上，一艘新船起航了。项目的名字本身就是对"自由航行者"这一历史人物的引用，他们是私人自由职业者，组建了水手团队去探索公海。除了承认荷兰的创新和国家的开拓性，项目建筑师、设计师和GG-loop创始人Giacomo Garziano试图将自由航行者的精神带到公寓中，通过汇集高素质的工匠和木匠团队来帮助他实现自己的愿景。

Site and inspiration

Freebooter is a small building located in the center of the island of Zeeburgereiland in Amsterdam, facing the Ij river, consisting of two duplexes of 120m2 each. Sensitive to Dutch history, customs and culture, the project took the Netherlands’s maritime past as its starting point. Freebooter thus becomes a modern "ship on land", with many references to the wind, water, and sailing. On land that belonged to the water, a new ship set sail. The project’s name itself is a reference to the historical figure of the ‘Freebooter,’ private freelancers who assembled teams of sailors to explore the high seas. As well as acknowledging Dutch innovation and the nations’ pioneering nature, it was the spirit of the Freebooter that project architect, designer and GG-loop founder Giacomo Garziano sought to bring to the apartments, by bringing together a highly qualified team of craftsmen and carpenters to help him achieve his vision.

建筑材料选择

建筑的主要材料，就像船体一样，仅限于木材、钢材和玻璃。每套公寓的平面图，参考了船的布局，是有机的、自由的，空间的阶梯式倾斜设计，当居住者在其中移动时，空间被包围并"展开"。项目最重要的特点之一是它对光的使用。GG-loop对光照条件进行了全年的研究，以创造结构百叶的最佳形状和位置。这种参数化的外立面使光线得到了最佳的分布，同时也保证了适当的私密性。该项目由交叉层压木材（CLT）和钢的混合结构制成，并在现场外预制，使得四层楼的建造时间特别快，仅需三周。砌块的完工时间为6个月。

Architectural choices

The main materials of the building, like a ship’s hull, were limited to wood, steel, and glass. The floor plan of each apartment, referencing a ship’s layout, is organic and free-flowing, with step-inclines to spaces that are designed to envelop and ‘unfold’ as the inhabitant moves through it One of the most important features of Freebooter is its use of light. GG-loop conducted a year-round study of light conditions to create the optimal shape and positioning of the structure’s louvers. This parametric facade enabled the optimal distribution of light while simultaneously allowing for an appropriate level of privacy. The project is made of a hybrid structure of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and steel, and was prefabricated offsite, allowing for an exceptionally fast built-time of three weeks for the four floors. Finishing the block took 6 months.

独特的性能

一个以住宅业主为中心的亲生设计的胜利。该项目由总部位于阿姆斯特丹的GG-loop工作室设计和开发，体现了工作室的特色和理念，即对设计概要作出回应，并不断考虑最终用户的体验和体验。我们在阿姆斯特丹的第一座住宅建筑代表了我们未来项目的质量标准，基于高能效、高品质的室内空间和天然材料。在设计平面图、空间流线和有机线条时，我们还仔细考虑了居民的日常使用和典型任务，简而言之，就是要使住宅成为一个健康和富有成效的休息和生活环境。

Unique properties

A triumph of biophilic, home-owner-centric design. Designed and developed by Amsterdam-based studio GG-loop, the project is an expression of the studio’s signature and philosophy of responding to the design brief with the experience and wellbeing of the end-user continuously in mind. Our first residential building in Amsterdam represents the quality standards of our future projects, based on high energy efficiency, high-quality interior spaces, and natural materials. The floorplan, flow of spaces and organic lines were also created with careful consideration of daily use and the typical tasks of dwellers – in short, so the home is a healthy and productive habitat for rest and living. 

空间产品

这座由两栋量身定制的公寓组成的建筑，在精心设计的规划中，将形式与功能和谐统一。它的外观引人注目，已成为该地区的中心点；该街区向紧凑的内部规划开放，揭示了窗户、木质内饰和高品质的装修组合，开放的有机曲线穿过舒适的生活空间，促进了舒适感和与自然的联系。

Production

Celebrating craftsmanship in contemporary design, this building of two tailor-made apartments harmonizes form and function on a meticulously designed plan. With a striking exterior, it has become a central point of the district; the block opens onto a compact interior plan revealing combinations of windows, wooden interiors, and high-quality finishes, with open organic curves that walk through comfortable living spaces, promoting a feeling of well-being and connection to nature.

该项目是木结构领域深入研究的成果:CLT和钢结构的混合系统在整个设计过程中被开发，以优化室内空间和施工时间。

Research

The project is the result of in-depth research in the field of timber construction: the hybrid system in CLT and steel structure was developed throughout the design process to optimize interior space and time of construction.

对比试验

在最初的研究中，对混凝土结构和CLT结构进行了对比试验。后者被证明是最定性的解决方案，这要归功于它的结构性能和对建造时间的优化，还有它的碳排放，因为木材可以自然地储存二氧化碳。与具体的解决方案相比，高效CLT结构的成本影响小于10%。

Study

In the initial studies, comparative tests were made between a concrete structure and the CLT structure. The latter has proven to be the most qualitative solution, thanks to its structural performance and its optimization of construction time, but also its carbon footprint since wood naturally stores CO2. The impact on the cost of an efficient CLT structure is less than 10%, compared to a concrete solution.

能源和环境

建筑的能耗接近0。其结果是屋顶上的24块太阳能板、高性能隔热墙和玻璃墙，加上低温地暖和机械和自然通风系统。98%的木材都通过了PEFC认证。由于使用了122.5立方米的木材，该建筑储存了近80吨二氧化碳，抵消了一辆中档汽车近70万公里的尾气排放和87个家庭一年的能源消耗。

Energy and environment

The building's energy consumption is close to 0. This result is the combination of 24 solar panels on the roof, high-performance wall insulation, and glass walls, coupled with low-temperature underfloor heating and a mechanical and natural ventilation system. 98% of the wood used is PEFC certified. With 122.5 m3 of wood used, the building stores nearly 80 tonnes of CO2, offsetting nearly 700,000 km of exhaust gas from a mid-range car and the energy consumption of 87 homes in one year.
