架构师提供的文本描述。E 589是一座紧凑的10层楼高55单元的住宅公寓楼，位于墨尔本市。在开发商，房地产经纪人和市场驱动的公寓设计类型，这个项目解决了实现可居住性，城市对话和建筑美学的挑战。E 589在其他实用的发展参数和适度的个人公寓足迹中实现了这一点。

Text description provided by the architects. E589 is a compact 10 storey 55 unit residential apartment building in the City of Melbourne. Within the developer, estate agent and market driven apartment design typology, this project addresses the challenge of achieving liveability, urban dialogue and architectural aesthetic. E589 achieves this within an otherwise utilitarian development parameters and modest individual apartment footprints.

该项目是一种模式建筑，由该建筑物的占用者参与策划。阳台百叶窗的众多位置支配着两个街道的正面，是用户与他们的环境互动的直接表现。结果是两个高度动态的信封，可以形成一个封闭的立方体，或可以完全打开，与一个完整的排列之间的光谱。完全机动的防晒霜系统，自动响应风雨，提高了居住者的舒适度和体验，但可以被个别公寓取代，以达到理想的隐私和太阳能接入水平。

The project is an architecture of patterning, orchestrated by the participation of the building’s occupants. The myriad positions of the balcony louvres that dominate the two street facades are a direct manifestation of the users’ interaction with their environment. The result is two highly dynamic envelopes that can form a closed cube, or can open completely, with a full spectrum of permutations in-between. The fully motorised sunscreen system, which responds automatically to the wind and rain, enhances occupants’ comfort and experience, yet can be overridden by individual apartments for desired level of privacy and solar access.

典型的环境，狭窄的场地提供了500平方米的面积，宽度与深度的比例为1：3。为了有效地利用现有的足迹，同时也为开发人员实现最佳的成本效益，已从建造的质量中提取了分别为3.5m×6m和3x2.5的空隙。这些空隙与相邻公寓楼的空隙对齐，以减少垂直气流。在这样做时，这两个明亮的千变万化的光水井，作为建筑物的一对肺，允许改善向内公寓的交叉通风机会。固定百叶窗再次使用，作为视觉屏障之间的属性。

Typical of its context, the narrow site offers an area of 500sqm, with a width to depth ratio of 1:3. In order to efficiently utilise the footprint available whilst also to achieving the optimum cost benefit for the developer, voids measuring 3.5m x 6m and 3 x 2.5 respectively have been extracted from the built mass. These voids are aligned with those at the adjoining apartment building in order to reduce vertical air drafts. In doing so, these two bright kaleidoscopic light wells, act as a pair of lungs for the building, allowing for improved cross ventilation opportunities for inward-facing apartments. Fixed louvers are utilised again, acting as visual barriers between the properties.

金属正面完全是白色的。正面元素探索实与空，白色的质朴、反光的品质进一步放大了这篇作文中的光与影。突出的东西部高地解决了建筑环境中的褶皱和曲折-在行人层继续保持街道的凹凸不平，使阳台结构与相邻的排水沟保持一致，以及没有正面遮挡，这反过来又温和地向南北邻的屋顶示意。

The metal facade is painted entirely in white. The façade elements explore solid versus void, and the austere, reflective quality of white further amplifies the light and shadow in this essay of composition. The prominent east and west elevations address the creases and twists of their built context – continuing the street eave with soffit detailing at pedestrian level, aligning balcony structure with adjoining gutters and the omission of facade screening which in turn gently gesture to the rooftops of direct neighbours to the north and south.

理查德·梅尔(Richard Meier)曾说过：“白色并不仅仅是白色，而是彩虹的颜色”-在E 589中，正面的白色穿过一层看不见的棱镜，然后在九层楼上空折射并分离成彩虹的不同颜色。每个层次的共同区域都是用红色、珊瑚、橙色、黄色、绿色、橄榄色、蓝色、紫色和紫色来画的-穿过走廊就像在凯利·埃尔斯沃思(Kelly Ellsworth)的一幅单一颜色的画里走来走去。

Richard Meier said, “White is never just white, within it is the colours of the rainbow” – in E589 the white of the facades passes through an invisible prism on the ground floor, is then refracted and separated into individual colours of the rainbow over the nine floors above. The common areas of each level are painted in Red, Coral, Orange, Yellow, Green, Olive, Blue, Violet and Purple – moving through the corridors is like pacing inside a Kelly Ellsworth painting of single block colour.

歌德想象的黑暗不仅仅是没有光线，而是它自身的积极力量-为了向歌德和更多的当地文化活动(如墨尔本白夜)致敬-彩色LED已经被用作阳台照明的一部分，它邀请居住者在夜空中嬉戏。

Goethe imagined darkness not just as absence of light but as its own active force - in tribute to Goethe and more local cultural events such as White Night Melbourne, coloured LEDS have been utilised as part of the balcony illumination, inviting the occupants to playfully colour the night sky.
