【來去看看~】尼古拉斯·波茨將水門大廈公寓改造成奢華的都市度假小宅

在美國,很少有地址能像華盛頓特區的水門大廈一樣,承載如此深重的歷史意義。作為推翻總統理查·尼克森的醜聞發生地,「水門」這個名字幾乎成了政治好奇心的代名詞。然而,在頭條新聞與歷史包袱之下,隱藏著一顆長期被低估的美國建築瑰寶——由義大利建築師路易吉·莫雷蒂於 1960 年代設計的現代主義傑作。憑藉其獨特的弧形結構、寬闊的露台以及大膽的設計語彙,水門大廈成為華府少數真正前衛的住宅建築之一。如今,由尼古拉斯·波茨工作室全新揭幕的「水門臨時居所」項目,為這座地標的建築價值重新投射出當代的聚光燈。

這間位於水門大廈新月形塔樓高層、佔地 3,000 平方英尺的公寓,是由兩戶原本獨立的單位合併而成。以細膩又大膽的室內設計手法聞名的建築師尼古拉斯·波茨,與造型師泰莎·華森及建築公司 BOWA 攜手合作,將此空間重新構想為一處精緻的臨時居所——一個既向大樓的現代主義傳承致敬,又注入嶄新活力的奢華之家。

對波茨而言,這個專案是一個機會,得以剝除多年來不合時宜的翻修痕跡,讓大樓原本的美學重現光彩。數十年來,許多水門大廈的單元都淪為不協調的設計潮流犧牲品:仿殖民風格的裝飾線條、低廉的標準化裝潢,以及生硬的空間規劃。波茨與他的團隊採取的設計策略,是去除一切與大樓「基因」相悖的元素,轉而擁抱水門大廈流暢的幾何線條、開闊的空間比例,以及呼應時代精神的色彩調性。

設計團隊以軸線視野與寬闊比例為核心,重新規劃了這間公寓的格局,將原本狹窄的房間轉化為開放通透的空間。整體動線以便於社交與流暢移動為導向,既大器又舒適。這種設計帶來的效果,不僅是對牆面與裝修的修復,更是對水門大廈原始建築願景的重現。

這座重新整合後的宅邸,每一寸空間都展現了對精準與華麗的雙重追求。牆面覆以稀有且紋理華美的叉切岡比亞奧庫梅木飾板,為整體空間注入溫潤的氛圍。地板則採用編織紋理的洞石,為腳下帶來穩定的韻律感;同時,精心安排的戲劇化元素——例如以內嵌燈光柔和發光的半透明瑪瑙牆——則為整個居所增添了層次與亮點。

量身打造的細節,例如由傳奇製作商 P.E. Guerin 專為此空間設計的門與五金,確保即便是最細微的觸點也能展現精緻與匠心。綴以綠色古典大理石、手工做舊金屬與金箔的點綴,則彰顯出濃厚卻不浮誇的晚期現代主義美學,呈現豐富而非極簡的格調。

為了替公寓添置家具,波茨與華森走訪了多家國際設計藝廊,精心策劃出一系列既經得起時間考驗、又充滿當代氣息的收藏。來自 The Future Perfect、Gallery Morentz 和 Studio TwentySeven 的設計作品,與復古家具巧妙交織——其中包括 1970 年代由 Sciolari 設計的 Leola 吊燈——共同譜寫出一段跨越年代的室內設計敘事。

整個居所中,從結構線條、材質選用到嚴謹的對稱感,都可見密斯·凡德羅與維也納分離派的設計影響。然而,這間公寓卻依然保持真實獨立的氣質,以自信的姿態將不同時代的元素融會貫通,最終回歸於當下。
