布莱恩特大楼是一座32层高的混合用途塔楼，位于曼哈顿中城占地 9 英亩的布莱恩特公园的西南角。它被周围众多历史悠久的地标建筑围绕：北面纽约公共图书馆，东临著名的美术学院派建筑诺克斯大厦。该建筑底部为一个延伸至13 层的酒店，上部是私人公寓。这两部分由位于两侧临街地面层的独立大堂进入，同时入口处的零售店铺也为街面增添了活力。

The Bryant is a 32-storey mixed-usetower building located on the south-west corner of Bryant Park, a nine-acrepublic park in Midtown Manhattan. Surrounded by historic landmark buildings, itfaces the New York Public Library to the north, and is situated near thecelebrated Beaux-Arts style Knox Building to the east. The building comprises ahotel that extends to the 13th floor, with private residences above. These twocomponents are served by two separate lobbies at street level, with retail onboth sides of each entrance animating the street front.

总平面图  Site plan

这座建筑遵循了纽约高层建筑的传统三段式构成：底部、中部和顶部。底部占据了场地的整个面宽，包括一个双高通高的首层空间以及四层酒店。缩减的基底面积，以及酒店酒吧和休息区增加的室内净高，标志着中部的起点。这种退台设计创造了一个可供酒店客人和住宅住户共享的室外露台，同时延续了第40大街中高层建筑错动的立面模式。顶部由两间跃层式屋顶公寓组成。遵守当地地标保护委员会的要求，新建筑立面与附近的历史建筑呼应，提供了当代的诠释。混凝土配比中包含了不同种类的骨料，与在邻近建筑物的砖石立面上发现的石材品种相同。这些抛光的预制混凝土板和柱遵循一个构造网格组合，赋予建筑经典的外观，并坚定地呈现其在街景中的地位。

The building articulates three separate parts following the traditional tripartite composition of the New York tower: base, middle and crown. The base occupies the full width of the site and contains a double-height ground floor as well as the first four levels of the hotel. A decreased footprint, together with an increased floor-to-ceiling height for the hotel bar and lounge, mark the start of the central section. This set-back creates an outdoor terrace accessible to both hotel guests and residential tenants while maintaining the elevation pattern of alternating medium and high-rise buildings along 40th Street. The crown is established by double-height spaces for the two penthouses at the top of the tower. Adhering to the conditions of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the façade relates to the historic buildings nearby, offering a contemporary interpretation. The concrete mix contains different aggregates identical to the stone varieties found in the neighbouring buildings’ masonry façades. These polished precast concrete slabs and columns follow a tectonic grid composition lending the building a classical appearance and firmly asserting its place within the streetscape.

混凝土的建筑结构延伸到住宅内部，增强了建筑的实质感和特质。嵌固式家具在分隔空间的同时也隐藏了存储空间和设备，摆脱了隔墙的概念，并提供了不受干扰的开阔视野。大部分住宅南北两侧的落地窗前都设有朱丽叶式阳台，而顶层公寓则设有双层通高的柱廊露台，可欣赏更开阔的城市和公园美景。

The concrete building structure extends into the interior of the residences, reinforcing a sense of architectural substance and identity. Built-in furnishings conceal storage spaces and appliances while dividing the spaces, removing the need for partition walls, and allowing uninterrupted views around the perimeter. Floor-to-ceiling windows open on to Juliet balconies on the north and south façades for most of the residences, while the penthouses have double-height, colonnaded terraces with view over the city and park.
