*프라하 호텔 [ Techné Architects ] Prahran Hotel

17개의 콘크리트 파이프가 연출하는 독특한 분위기는

내외부를 연결하는 연결자 인 동시에 버퍼하는

건축도구로 사용, 프라하 호텔의 디자인을

정의하게 된다.

기존 아르데코 스타일 파사드로 부터 확장된 콘크리트 파이프 파사드는

외관에 고유한 캐릭터를 부여하는 동시에

내부 식당에 각각 독립적인 부스로 활용된다.

이는 내외부의 간극을 좁혀 외부 이미지를 적극적으로 내부로

투영, 유입시키는 효과를 가져와 내부공간을

풍부하게 형성시킨다.

A stack of 17 oversize concrete pipes makes up the façade of this extension to a Melbourne pub and hotel by Techné Architects. Contrasting with an original art deco front, the modern addition not only makes a unique façade, but creates defined booths for diners on the inside. The huge glazed windows set into the pipes allow views in and out, providing  interaction between building and public realm.

Conscious of the façade not becoming a novelty of the pub, the refurbished spaces around the rest of the 750-sq-m space, also hold their own with interesting designs and details.  A glazed courtyard connects both levels and allows natural light into the spaces. A five-metre long bar made from recycled coloured steel pipes runs down one side of the courtyard, and the space is filled with collapsible tables that make way for a dance floor. A five-metre Jacaranda tree is the central feature of the outdoor space; the tree and complementary planting help to baffle noise from the pub within the local neighbourhood. Inside, gantries and walkways become a way of connecting several smaller, more intimate spaces.
