哥本哈根工業起重機內的私人休閑場所-設計風向

如果你被要求描繪一個私密的豪華別墅，你首先想到的可能不是一個工業港口，也不是一個集裝箱起重機。巧妙的是，這正是富有遠見的丹麥開發商Klaus Kastbjerg通過KRANE成功做到的。KRANE是位於Nordhavn的曆史工業港口，正在被改造成一個現代化的住宅和商業區。丹麥建築工作室Mads Møller設計了這個項目，不僅致敬過去的工業結構和展示的最佳當代丹麥設計,而且重新定義豪華less-is-more-than-it-looks的多感官體驗的概念。

If you were asked to picture an intimate luxury retreat, the first thing to come to mind probably wouldn’t be an industrial port, or a container crane for that matter. Ingeniously, this is exactly what visionary Danish developer Klaus Kastbjerg has managed to achieve with THE KRANE, an exclusive one-room hotel, private spa and meeting room set inside a repurposed coal crane in Nordhavn, Copenhagen’s historic industrial harbour which is being transformed into a modern residential and business district. Designed by Mads Møller of Copenhagen-based architectural studio Arcgency, the project not only pays homage to the structure’s industrial past and showcases the best of what contemporary Danish design has to offer, but also redefines the concept of luxury as a multi-sensory experience of less-is-more-than-it-looks.

Kastbjerg並不陌生，在過去的幾十年裏參與許多哥本哈根的海濱項目，包括一些在Nordhavn,如筒倉、一個17層糧食筒倉變成了豪華公寓和海港的房子,Kastbjerg一個商業開發設計的標誌性的架構師,。在2005年海港住宅的建造過程中，為了尋找一個會議室，這個團隊使用了現場的兩個工業起重機中的一個。他們對它獨特的美麗感到非常高興，以至於它成為了2010年開放的開發項目的一部分。與此同時，在碼頭更下方的第二台起重機仍未使用;到目前為止是這樣。

Kastbjerg is no stranger to Copenhagen’s waterfront having also been involved in many projects over the last few decades including several in Nordhavn, such as THE SILO, a 17-storey grain silo turned into luxury apartments, and HARBOR HOUSE, a commercial development designed by iconic architect Jørn Utzon, think Sydney Opera House, and his two sons Jan and Kim. In search for a meeting room during the construction of HARBOR HOUSE in 2005, the team used one of two industrial cranes that were on site. They were so pleased with its unique beauty that it became part of the development that opened its doors in 2010. Meanwhile, the second crane further down the pier remained unused; up to now that is.

頂部結構是KRANE ROOM,兩個50平方米的私人空間,擁有全景的港口和Øresund海峽。作為低調奢華的居所，一個房間的空間以全黑的顏色呈現，作為對過去的致敬，就像裝載煤炭的起重機。但全黑配色方案也有其他用途;它創造了一種舒緩的氛圍，使景色脫穎而出。正如Kastbjerg解釋的那樣，“黑色的內飾加上酥脆的白色床單讓一切都安靜了下來。你可以感到平靜，欣賞藝術的風景。“事實上，遊客進入單色空間的第一印象很快就被顛覆了，這取決於一天的時間、日光和陽光的質量，在這裏，數百種不同的黑色物料在他們眼前展開。”

Perched at the top of the structure is the KRANE ROOM, a 50 square metre private retreat for two, blessed with panoramic views of the harbour and the Øresund strait beyond. Designed as an abode of understated luxury, the one room space is rendered in total black as a homage to its past as a crane for loading coal. But the all black colour scheme also serves other purposes; it creates a soothing ambience and makes the views stand out. As Kastbjerg explains, “the black interior combined with the crispy white bed sheets makes everything quiet. You can feel calm, at peace. Enjoying the view as art.” In fact, visitors’ first impression of entering into the monochromatic space is soon upended, depending on the time of day and quality of daylight and sunlight, where hundreds of different shades of black unfold before their eyes.

這套家具的內部缺少色彩，但它們在質地上做了彌補:皮革、木材、石材和鋼材構成了精致華麗的環境，並以激進的極簡主義設計為支撐。房間裏所有無關的元素都被抹去或隱藏了起來，使得海港和大海的廣闊視野占據了中心位置。床、座椅和櫥櫃都是由丹麥工匠定製，它們被集成到牆板中，而小廚房、淋浴和浴室則隱藏在一個無縫的黑盒子裏，給人一種奇妙的感覺。這種感覺進一步增強，起重機的駕駛艙是一個單獨的觀景室，這是一個通過外部的走道，皮革軟墊有紐扣的躺椅可以讓客人懶洋洋地享受令人舒緩的感覺。

What the suite’s interiors lack in colour they more than make up in textures: leather, wood, stone and steel make up a setting of refined luxuriance, underpinned by a design of radical minimalism. All extraneous elements in the room have been effaced or hidden allowing the expansive views of the harbour and sea to take centre stage. Beds, seating and cupboards, all bespoke pieces made by Danish artisans, are integrated into wall panels while the kitchenette, shower and bathroom are hidden inside a seamless black box, bestowing a sense of wonderment. This sense is further enhanced by a separate viewing room, once the crane’s cockpit, which is reached via an exterior walkway where guests can languorously enjoy vertiginous views on a leather-upholstered buttoned daybed.
