建筑师如何打造自己的家

在丹尼尔·里伯斯金于2003年赢得世贸大厦遗址(Ground Zero)重建项目的竞争后不久，妻子给正在多伦多举办讲座的他打了一通电话──她在纽约翠贝卡区(TriBeCa)找到了一套1907年的待售公寓。他回忆称，在向妻子询问了公寓的自然采光情况并了解到这套占据了整个第七层的公寓可将曼哈顿风光尽收眼底时，他马上拍板道“当然可以。下文中，这位66岁的建筑师谈论了公寓为期一年的翻修，这还是他第一次有机会设计自己的住宅。

The building is triangular, like the Flatiron Building. It comes to a point and makes it into a very interesting space. It's guided by light. I thought light was the key. It's a loft-like space, high ceilings, exposed pipes, a raw quality. It has stone floors, panoramic light, a spectacular view of Ground Zero.

与熨斗大厦(Flatiron Building)一样，这栋大楼也是三角形。它形成了一个角，使之成了一个非常有特色的空间。它采光充足，我认为光线是关键因素。它是一套类似loft的房子，层高很高，管道暴露在外，具有一种粗口的味道。它铺的是石材地板，整所房子都充溢着阳光，还可一览震撼的世贸大厦遗址。

It's not too high, not too low. If you live higher, you're more in a dream world. You really see New York, tall buildings to the east, Ground Zero downtown. I feel the vibrations of the subway, literally. There's a window through which I can see three converging streets as I look down, and converging people. It's a very meditative view. The sauna has a slot window exactly aligned with the Chrysler Building.
