通过将45000平方米的多功能空间和一个独特的钢架结构置入历史悠久的仓库，鹿特丹获得了一座大胆且具有标志性的建筑：Fenix I。最初的Fenix仓库是为荷美邮轮公司在1922年建造，现已被重新开发和改造为用途广泛的综合体，其中包括由Codarts马戏艺术学校、Conny Janssen Danst舞团和Rotjeknor马戏团共同组成的Cultuur Cluster文化集群。
With 45,000 m2 of mixed-use program and a unique steel table construction that is built right through the existing monumental warehouse, Rotterdam has gained a bold and iconic building: Fenix I. The original Fenix warehouse, built in 1922 for the Holland America Line, has been redeveloped and renovated for an extensive mixed-use program, including the Cultuur Cluster, formed by Codarts Circus Arts School, Conny Janssen Danst and Circus Rotjeknor.

分断与融合 | Segmentation and fusion
Fenix I的设计旨在将新与旧进行融合而非构成对立，其主要原则是将建筑与周边环境连接起来。为此，建筑团队加高了朝向Rijnhaven港口一侧的立面（在既有仓库的基础上增加了9层），使其与附近建筑的尺度和规模相适应。朝向Veerlaan街道一侧的立面被限制在4层的高度，以配合Katendrecht周围的底层建筑。

The design for Fenix I was aimed to merge old and new, instead of to create contrast. The primary principle of the design was therefore to connect the building and its immediate surroundings. For that reason, it was decided to heighten the building on the Rijnhaven side (9 layers on top of the warehouse) to match the size and scale of the buildings around the Rijnhaven. On the Veerlaan side, the new building volume was limited to four layers, in keeping with the lower surrounding buildings of Katendrecht.

设计的一个关键部位体现在它的“第六个”立面，也就是阳台的底面。在新的住宅体量中，阳台的支架得到了非常精确的设计和施工。它们的外观参照了最初的Fenix仓库。一系列栏杆环绕着整座建筑，它们由夹层玻璃和被称作“缪斯框架”的结构组成：重复的工业钢架元素吸引着你倚靠在上面做起白日梦，同时又与港口区域的特征和功能相契合。立面上增加的缪斯框架共计不少于516个。

An important aspect of the design is the sixth facade, this being the bottom side of the balconies. In the new housing volume, the consoles of the balconies have been executed with great attention and finesse. Their appearance is referring back to the Fenix warehouse. The balustrades of the balconies, which surround the entire building, are made of sandwiched glass and so-called “muse frames”: repetitive industrial steel frame elements, that invite you to lean on it and daydream, and which fit the character and the use of the port. In total no less than 516 muse frames were added to the facade.

Fenix走廊是一条新建的内部街道，长40米且直接穿过建筑，将城市一侧（Veerlaan大街）与码头连接起来。这条走廊或许可以说是Fenix大楼内最激动人心的空间之一，它彰显了建筑过去与现在的能量与活力，同时揭示出其所经历过的不同的时间层级。
The Fenix passage is a new inner street, 40 meters long, that runs right through the building and connects the city side (Veerlaan) with the quay. This street is perhaps one of the most exciting spaces in Fenix, which best expresses the energy and kinetic intensity of the building’s past and present and exposes the different layers of time.

建筑内部的封闭区域形成一片宁静的绿洲，与其周围环境形成鲜明的对比。凉廊空间被有意地打开，以增强居住者之间的联系。白色的混凝土材料增强了静谧的感觉，并且与温暖的、色彩由下至上逐渐变深的木质外墙形成和谐的关系。栏杆的设计与花槽相结合，使绿色植物能够沿着凉廊生长攀援。

Fenix阁楼公寓 | Fenix Lofts
仓库顶部的住宅体量包含212间阁楼公寓。在大楼的中间层，公寓的净高达到4米。独特的钢架结构成为了公寓的一部分。位于中间层的阁楼公寓拥有一个朝向Rijnhaven码头方向的形似口琴的外墙，此外还设有向庭院区域敞开的私人户外空间

The residential volume on top of the warehouse comprises 212 lofts. In the interlayer, these apartments have a clear height of 4m. The impressive space frame structure of the steel table construction is unmistakably part of the apartment. The lofts in the interlayer have a harmonica facade on the Rijnhaven side and a private outdoor space opening out onto the courtyard area.

Fenix Docks仓库 | Fenix Docks
原先的Fenix Docks仓库拥有混合的用途。仓库的一部分被重建为高效的公共停车场，设有270个停车位。码头沿线坐落着5栋双层的码头住宅，每栋的高度为6米。这些住宅拥有自由的平面布局，并设有原始的装卸门，可以直接从Rijnhaven码头进入。

The existing warehouse, Fenix Docks, has a mixed-use purpose. Part of the warehouse was rebuilt to provide for an efficient public parking garage with 270 parking spaces. Along the quay, there are 5 quay houses, each with 2 floors with a height of 6m. These apartments have a free lay-out, are fitted with original loading doors and can be accessed directly from the Rijnhaven quay.

Fenix Docks还容纳了三个著名的文化机构：Conny Janssen Danst舞团、Codarts马戏艺术学校和Rotjeknor青少年马戏团，并共同组成了一个Culture Cluster文化集群。巧妙的设计兼顾了空间的公共性和私密性。各个组织和用户可以在多种场所进行随机会议，同时又能保证隐私。门厅就是这样一个公共空间，透过玻璃墙可以直接看见Codarts马戏艺术学校的训练教室。从建筑南侧的Fenixplein也可以直接进入门厅并通往文化集群中的“码头”和“艺术”区域。

In addition, Fenix Docks offers room to three well-known cultural institutions, which together form the Culture Cluster: Conny Janssen Danst, Codarts Circus School and youth Circus Rotjeknor. The result is a smart design with both communal and private spaces. Spontaneous meetings between the various organisations and users take place at various places, but there is also sufficient privacy. The foyer is such a communal meeting place, with a glass wall that provides a glimpse into the Codarts training room. The foyer is accessible from the Fenixplein on the south side of the building and gives access to the ‘docks’ and the ‘arts’ parts of the Culture Cluster.

千吨钢材 | A kiloton of steel
Fenix I的技术挑战主要体现在它的施工上。通过置入约1千吨（100万公斤）重的巨大钢架结构，并使其贯穿仓库建筑，这座历史悠久的庞大体量得以从很大程度上保留下来。与此同时还可以增加很大一部分完全独立于仓库的居住空间。
新的基座被谨慎地插入仓库既有的基座体块之间。钢结构完全采用焊接，这在荷兰是非常少见的做法。

The technical challenge of Fenix I is most evident in its construction. By placing an immense steel table construction, weighing approximately one kiloton (1 million kg), running it through the existing warehouse and giving it a separate foundation, the monumental warehouse could be largely preserved. Moreover, a considerable volume of living space could be added, which was technically kept completely separate from the warehouse.
The new foundation of the table was carefully inserted in between the warehouse’s existing foundation blocks. The steel structure was fully welded in the works, which is a very exceptional method in the Netherlands.

可持续性 | Sustainability
可持续性是Fenix I项目中的一个重要部分，并首先体现在对于既有建筑最大程度的重复利用。新建筑宽裕的楼层高度使其能够适应未来的发展，此外由于主要的支撑结构是由圆盘塔而非墙体构成，加上中央的圆形装置环，可以实现灵活的分区。
Sustainability is an integral part of Fenix I, starting with maximum reuse of the existing building. The new building is future-proof and adaptable due to the extra storey height and can be flexibly partitioned because of a main supporting structure consisting of disc columns instead of walls and the central circular installation ring.

建筑体量和立面经过了优化，使光线可以进入庭院和公寓。带来最佳视野的玻璃立面采用了高性能的太阳能控制玻璃板，同时在外部结合以遮阳装置和阳台，能够控制建筑吸入的热量，减少对于制冷的需要。屋顶花园和带有垂直绿化的庭院立面营造出健康、舒适且与自然相融的栖居环境，且能够过滤空气中的颗粒物。屋顶花园还可收集雨水以便重复利用。

The building volume and the facades have been optimised to allow daylight to enter the courtyard and the apartments. The glass facades offering prime views, are made of high-performance solar control glazing. Combined with the exterior sunshades and the balconies, solar heat entering the building is blocked and the need for cooling is reduced. The roof gardens and vertical green courtyard facades stimulate a healthy, comfortable and nature-inclusive living environment. They filter particulates from the air and the green roofs collect rainwater which can be reused.
