Studio Gang設計的酒店“Populus”（意為楊樹）已宣告開業。這家擁有265間客房的酒店位于丹佛市中心，為城市打造了一個新的建筑地標以及社交中心。

Studio Gang, the international architecture and urban design firm led by Jeanne Gang, has completed Populus, a 265-room hotel poised to become a new social center for downtown Denver.

這座酒店是Studio Gang在科羅拉多州完成的第一個項目，也是其在美國西南部的的首作。設計靈感來自該州本土楊樹顫楊（Populus tremuloides）的生長過程。

Marking Studio Gang’s first completed project in Colorado and the American Southwest region, Populus’s design draws from the growth processes of the state’s native Aspen trees (Populus tremuloides) to establish a new architectural icon for Denver.

酒店位于丹佛市政、藝術和商業區域的交界處，在一個顯眼的街角位置，以三面相似的立面平等地迎接附近的游客和居民。雕塑般的外立面上有根據客房寬度設置的豎向眼狀結構，將建筑的外部表達與內部功能聯系在一起。玻璃纖維增強混凝土（GFRC）面板覆層經過酸洗處理，使材料的骨料暴露出來，賦予建筑明亮、自然的色調。

Located on a prominent corner site that connects Denver’s civic, arts, and commercial districts, Populus greets the neighborhood equally on its three sides to welcome visitors and residents. The sculptural fa?ade is textured with vertical scallops that correspond to the width of guest rooms, linking the building’s exterior expression with its interior program. The glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panel cladding is acid-washed to bring out the material’s aggregate, giving the building a bright, natural hue.

該建筑的標志性特色是遍布立面的獨特窗戶，其設計讓人聯想到楊樹生長過程中脫落下部枝條之后，在樹皮上留下的深色眼狀痕跡。窗戶的大小和形狀隨建筑內部空間的公共或私密屬性變化。

The building’s defining feature is a series of distinctive windows whose geometry is informed by characteristic patterns found on Aspen trees (Populus tremuloides). Each window is designed to evoke the dark, eye-shaped marks left behind on the bark of the trees, which shed their lower branches as they grow. The windows change in size and shape in response to the building’s public and private spaces within.

在建筑底部，窗戶的高度達到30英尺（約9.1米），框出酒店的入口，讓行人能望進內部配套設施，同時也為附近熱鬧非凡、行人友好的環境增色不少。

At the base, the windows rise to 30 feet in height to frame entrances and views into the hotel while adding to the lively, pedestrian-friendly quality of the neighborhood.

在上部的酒店客房中，客人可以身心沉浸地欣賞附近的州議會大廈、市政中心公園和落基山脈。部分客房的窗戶設有內置座椅，為客人提供了更近距離親近大自然的空間。

In the hotel rooms above, guests have immersive views of the nearby State Capitol, Civic Center Park, and the Rocky Mountains. Windows in select guest rooms feature built-in seating, providing occupiable spaces where guests can feel closer to nature.

這座建筑共135,000平方英尺（合12,542平方米），提供265間大小不一的客房。在地面層，雙層挑高的大堂緊挨著全日營業餐廳Pasque和咖啡吧，而健身中心、靈活的休息室和舉辦活動的空間則位于樓上。

The 135,000 square foot building offers 265 guest rooms that range in size. A double-height lobby is adjoined to Pasque, an all-day dining destination, and a coffee bar on the ground floor, while a fitness center, flexible lounge, and event space are located on the floor above.

在頂層，屋頂餐廳Stellar Jay設有室外酒吧和露臺，酒店客人和公眾可以在這里一邊用餐一邊欣賞丹佛的天際線和遠處的山脈。Populus酒店由Urban Villages擁有，由Aparium Hotel Group運營。

On the top floor, hotel guests and the public can enjoy Stellar Jay, a rooftop restaurant featuring an outdoor bar and terrace with views of the Denver skyline and the mountains beyond. Populus is owned by Urban Villages and operated by Aparium Hotel Group.

Studio Gang通過多方面的設計響應Populus的可持續發展目標。該建筑的設計最大限度地利用了其緊湊的三角形場地，并放棄了任何專用于停車的空間，以鼓勵采用更環保的交通方式——這在丹佛的新建酒店中尚屬首例。

The design supports Populus’ sustainability goals through several features. The building is designed to maximize use of its compact, triangular site and foregoes any space dedicated to parking—a first for a newly built hotel in Denver—to encourage greener modes of transport.

其混凝土中使用了一定比例的粉煤灰，以盡可能減少對水泥的需求，從而降低了施工過程中的碳排放量。為了在丹佛的氣候條件下有效地發揮其作用，每扇窗戶外側的“蓋子”都向外伸展，為內部空間遮陽，同時引導雨水排放。

Its concrete structure incorporates fly ash to minimize the need for cement, lowering the amount of carbon emitted during the construction process. Detailed to perform efficiently in Denver’s climate, the exterior “lids” of each window stretch outward to shade interior spaces, while also channeling rainwater.

在室內，大部分結構都裸露在外，這減少了飾面的使用。而使用了飾面的部分，設計均以“高回收利用率”為目標，例如大堂和配套設施空間的天花板是使用回收的懷俄明雪圍欄制造，電梯轎廂和客房辦公桌使用了再生皮革飾面。頂層的綠色屋頂為當地野生動物和昆蟲提供了一個富有吸引力的棲息地，增強了城市生物多樣性。該建筑將獲得LEED金級認證作為設計目標。

On the interior, much of the structure is exposed to reduce the use of finishes. Where used, finishes target a high recycled content, such as reclaimed Wyoming snow fencing for the lobby and amenity ceilings, and recycled leather veneer in elevator cabs and on guest room desks. The green roof on the top floor provides an attractive habitat for local wildlife and insects, enhancing urban biodiversity. The building is targeting LEED Gold certification.
