Harper House不仅是纽约曼哈顿唯一私人公园旁的希腊复兴式联排别墅,更曾见证市长James Harper的执政岁月与鲍勃·迪伦《Highway 61 Revisited》的创作灵感。在Span Architecture长达七年的悉心打磨下,这座历史建筑未被重构,而是以现代手法焕发新生。

格拉梅西公园是纽约市仅存的私人公园,四周环绕着拥有公园大门钥匙的联排别墅。始建于1844年的Harper House以希腊复兴风格著称,是该街区目前唯一仍作为私人宅邸伫立于公园旁的建筑。其名源于曾在此街区施展政治抱负的市长James Harper。Span Architecture的创始合伙人Karen Marie Stonely表示:“这座Harper House宅邸坐落于纽约曼哈顿,毗邻极具历史价值的格拉梅西公园。沿公园而建的几处府邸(包括Harper House)至今保存完好,完整呈现了1850年代纽约城市建筑的历史风貌。”

这座住宅承载着多重历史记忆。其餐厅由Stanford White于1879年操刀设计,Stonely称之为“派对室”。鲍勃·迪伦(Bob Dylan)也曾与此地结缘:他曾坐在该建筑门前的台阶上拍摄1965年专辑《Highway 61 Revisited》的封面,而他当年在客厅举办私人派对的痕迹,至今仍作为这段历史的一部分,被SPAN团队悉心保存。

据Stonely所述,业主Stephen和Allison Sullens作为Span的资深客户,本身便是热衷于美国音乐遗产及历史建筑保护的收藏家。她对业主的愿景描述道:“希望Harper House成为向音乐、历史与慈善事业致敬的灵感居所。”在施工期间,他们创立了Harper House音乐基金会,致力于支持音乐人及保护音乐遗产。

Span的另一位合伙人Peter Pelsinski表示,该事务所的核心任务是在两者之间取得平衡:“我们在Harper House的历史保护元素与拥抱现代家庭生活的先锋设计之间找到了独特的平衡点。”此次翻新工程从2017年持续至2024年,期间经历了疫情,且Stonely强调建筑从未被彻底拆除。“项目没有被推倒重建,我们对许多历史元素进行了保留与修复,这无疑是一个更为精细、耗时的过程,但却是一项极具意义的努力。”原有的楼梯被保留在原地,贯穿住宅全高,Stonely称其在视觉与物理上都将Harper House从前到后、从上到下紧密连接在一起。

Harper House拥有六层楼面,总面积约10,000平方英尺。Span并未增加建筑空间,而是对其进行了重新规划。厨房从原本的服务室迁至花园层,并被重建为“生活空间而非服务空间”,直通后花园。一个新的中庭通过朝向花园的双层高窗,将花园层与上方的餐厅连接起来。Pelsinski补充道,他们打开了前后视线通廊,并增设天窗,将自然光引入Harper House的深处。阁楼则被打造为Stonely所说的“充满阳光的书房与家庭活动室”。

专业的修复团队介入了此次修复工作。Carlton House Restoration团队修复了Stanford White设计的古巴红木壁板与橡木天花板。Stonely表示,这些部分多年来经历了多次改动,而该团队的修复工作帮助保存了“Harper House室内历史美学,同时使大范围的翻新工程在旧与新之间达成了和谐。”Ball & Ball Inc.则修复了与Harper市长执政时期相关的锻铁煤气灯。

屋顶是Stonely关注最多的部分。“我们与景观设计公司RKLA携手合作,”她说。“我们在屋顶打造的花园与公园内精心修剪的花园形成了鲜明对比,展现出狂野而茂密的原始感。”她还指出一个细微之处:在五层楼高的楼梯中庭天窗周围种植了野生草本,这些植被会将移动的阴影投射到下方的室内。

色彩紧随光影而动。“在Harper House远离自然光线的深处,我们倾向于采用更轻柔的色调与反射面材质,”Stonely解释道。Pelsinski则表示:“外围房间高度饱和,呈现出深邃而浓郁的色调,大量绿色与大地色系补充了户外公园的自然色彩。”住宅整体选材均尽可能实现本地化采购。

Harper House部分陈设为该住宅量身定制。David Wiseman Studio围绕该家庭最钟爱的花卉与动物设计了一款吊灯。在客厅楼层,Wiseman还创作了一款猴子在森林中休憩的壁纸——Stonely称这种图案乍一看像是传统的自然场景,“直到仔细观察才能发现其中的趣味。”Harper House屋顶 mural由Robbie Simon创作,跨越了新与旧的界限,而艺术藏品中还包括Thomas Struth、Diebenkorn和Neal Casal的作品,以及迪伦的纪念品。

Pelsinski形容他们为Harper House打造的氛围既不张扬也不拘泥于定式:“它现代而温暖,绝对隽永;其设计没有过分填满,从而为新的主人(即我们的业主)留下了属于他们自己的生活印记空间。”
