Gang工作室和位于丹佛的房地产公司Urban Villages在科罗拉多州丹佛市设计了一座13层的多功能酒店。

这座145000平方英尺的建筑被称为“Populus”，将位于城市中心公园旁边。开放的城市和落基山脉以外，酒店的目标是成为一个新的社会中心。在它的主要角落，该建筑连接丹佛的市政、艺术和商业区。

Studio Gang and Denver-based real estate firm Urban Villages have revealed a new mixed-use, 13-story hotel in Denver, Colorado. The 145,000-sf building is called ‘Populus’ and will be located next to Civic Center Park. Opening to the city and the Rocky Mountains beyond, the hotel aims to become a new social center in downtown. On it's prominent corner site, the building was made to connect Denver’s civic, arts, and commercial districts.

作为项目的标志性元素，酒店的窗户呈现出独特的形状，这是由科罗拉多州的象征——白杨树的生长过程所决定的。

随着树木的生长，它们的下层树枝脱落，在树干的纸质树皮上留下了黑色的眼睛形状的痕迹。设计团队解释说，窗户高达30英尺，用来设置入口，并将视野引入大堂、餐厅和舒适空间。“每一个垂直扇形是酒店房间的宽度，其窗户的大小根据公共和私人空间的变化而变化。”

As the iconic element of the project, the hotel's windows take on a distinctive shape informed by the growth process of aspen trees, a symbol of Colorado. As the trees grow, they shed their lower branches, leaving behind dark, eye-shaped marks on the papery bark of their trunks. The team explained that the windows grow up to 30 feet in height to frame entrances and views into the lobby, restaurant, and amenity spaces. "Each vertical scallop is the width of a hotel room, and its windows change in size in response to public and private spaces."

在外部，每个窗户的“盖子”根据太阳的朝向向外伸展，以遮挡室内，提高建筑的能源性能，并引导雨水。

酒店客人将体验附近的州国会大厦和城市中心公园的观点，以及山脉以外。一些景观还显示了可被占用的窗户，被转换成座位或书桌。上面，绿色屋顶平台提供了一个社交场所，并为当地野生动物和昆虫创造了栖息地。

On the exterior, the “lids” of each window stretch outward according to solar orientation to shade the interior and improve the building’s energy performance, as well as channel rainwater. Hotel guests will experience views of the nearby State Capitol and Civic Center Park, as well as the mountains beyond. Some views also show occupiable windows, transformed into seating or desks. Above, a green roof terrace provides a place to socialize and create a habitat for local wildlife and insects.

Jeanne Gang说:“形成内外之间的基本界面，独特的窗户将酒店房间扩展到城市和落基山脉之外。”

“它们的形状灵感来自于科罗拉多州标志性的白杨树的生长模式，它们的树枝在树干表面产生了‘眼睛’。”“该项目目前正在申请建筑许可证。预计将于今年晚些时候开始施工，目标是在2023年交付。

“Forming an essential interface between inside and outside, the distinctive windows expand the hotel rooms to the city and Rocky Mountains beyond,” said Jeanne Gang. “Their shape is inspired by the growth pattern seen on the iconic aspen trees of Colorado, whose branches produce ‘eyes’ on the trunks’ surface.” The project is currently in the building permit process. Construction is expected to begin later this year with the goal of delivery in 2023.
