办公楼改建为住宅楼。这里曾经是一家国家银行的总部，现在是一座住宅楼，也是阿姆斯特丹 Westerpark West 新活力街区的起点。大象改变了城市生活，也彻底改变了这座经典住宅楼的面貌。

Office to residential conversion. Once the head office of a national bank, now a residential tower and the starting point of a new vibrant neighborhood Westerpark West in Amsterdam. Elephant has turned city life inside out and changed the classic residential tower for good.

每层楼的住户只与一位邻居共用一部电梯。出了电梯，就进入了一条可以看到公园景色的走廊。走廊可直接通往公寓和相应的私人露台。公寓的露台与所有独立的生活空间相连。这使得建筑的使用和配置变得无穷无尽。无核心概念使总建筑面积和净建筑面积的比例非常合理。这也对所需的建筑材料和能源管理产生了积极影响。

Designed for change with the Coreless circulation. A typical transformation would not have resulted in the ambition of high-quality housing, we decided to split up the core into four and reposition the elevators to the facade. Staircases are placed outside the terraces and become part of the architecture. The former concrete circulation core is remodeled to be used for bathrooms, storage, and technical spaces. Hence we called this new circulation concept Coreless and is now also being used for new residential towers.

Residents share an elevator with just one neighbor per floor. When leaving the elevator, you enter a hallway with a view of the park. The hallway gives direct access to the apartment and their corresponding private terraces. An apartment’s terrace connects to all the individual living spaces. This makes the usage and configurations of the building endless. The Coreless concept results in a very favorable ratio between gross and net floor area. This also has a positive effect on required building materials as well as energy management.

最可持续的水表是无需建造的水表。巨大的私人露台被称为 “前花园”。除了新的流通概念，Elephant 还提出了三米深的露台和新的全玻璃外墙。这两个元素大大提升了公寓的品质。

The most sustainable meter is the one that does not have to be built. Huge private terraces are called “Front Gardens”. In addition to the new circulation concept, Elephant proposed three-meter deep terraces along with the building and a new full glass facade. Both elements enhance the apartment's quality greatly.

新增加的露台及其功能性元素，如楼梯、花槽和栏杆，成为主要的建筑特色。玻璃外墙不再是建筑的重要载体。这为高度灵活的外立面奠定了基础。居民可以参与选择外立面的配置，现在外立面已经建成，居民仍然可以对其进行更改。

The newly added terraces together with their functional elements; like staircases, planters, and balustrades, became the main architectural feature. The glass facade became less of an important vehicle of the architecture. This established the basis of a highly flexible facade. Residents were involved in choosing their configuration and are still able to change it now that it has been built.

多功能综合花槽。整栋建筑的露台上分布着 120 棵树。大象希望这些树木与室外空间的体验融为一体。因此，我们将树木基质放置在露台下方，作为标志性的树木种植柱。种植槽是与植被设计师、树木学家、园艺师和结构工程师以及业主协会合作开发的。

Multifunctional integrated planters. Throughout the building, 120 trees are scattered over the terraces. Elephant wanted the trees to become one with the experience of the outdoor spaces. This resulted in placing the tree substrate underneath the terrace as the iconic tree-planter columns. The planters are developed in collaboration with vegetation designers, arborists, gardeners, and structural engineers together with the owners’ association.

这些容器配备了必要的技术，可以让树木在高处生长。自动灌溉系统和园丁负责维护。这种紧密合作的结果是，绿色建筑的维护成本仅为每棵树每年 30 欧元。

The containers are equipped with the necessary technology to allow a tree to grow at height. An automatic irrigation system and a gardener take care of maintenance. This intense collaboration resulted in a green building with a proportional maintenance cost of just €30/year maintenance costs per tree.
