近年来，城市密度的增加导致了新型的混合型高层建筑的出现。我们的项目ZIPPER是这些混合使用概念的最新一代的一部分。该项目在杜塞尔多夫-海尔特的Dominikus-Krankenhaus的前公园场地上结合了各种医疗实践和住宅。这样实现的协同效应与全面的健康赋予了现有医院作为 "未来医院的原型 "的跨区域重要性。

In recent years, increasing urban density has led to new kinds of hybrid high rises. Our project ZIPPER is part of the latest generation of these mixed-use concepts. The project combines various medical practices and residences on the former park grounds of Dominikus-Krankenhaus in Düsseldorf-Heerdt. The synergy effects thus achieved with comprehensive health grant the existing hospital transregional importance as the “prototype of a hospital for the future.”

就在莱茵河畔，在杜塞尔多夫-海尔特的一家医院Dominikus-Krankenhaus的原址上，正在建造一个结合住房和医疗设施的新园区。混合型高层建筑Zipper是这一转变的醒目标志，从远处就能看到。J.MAYER.H是这个联合住宅和健康单位的国际设计竞赛的获胜者。

Right on the Rhine, a new campus combining housing and health facilities is being erected on the former park on the grounds of Dominikus-Krankenhaus, a hospital in Dusseldorf-Heerdt. The hybrid high-rise Zipper is the striking emblem of this transformation, visible from afar. J.MAYER.H was the winner of the international design competition for this joint residential and health unit.

俯瞰莱茵河和杜塞尔多夫的独特全景使该建筑引人注目。穿孔金属幕墙的构思允许开放和封闭区域的温和安排。在建筑的东面、南面和西面，波浪形的外壳在提供遮阳和防风的同时，也大大地开放。在北侧，立面是封闭的，以提供对交通的隔音。就像拉链一样，开放和封闭之间的过渡是渐进的，允许在多年的发展过程中进行灵活调整。

The unique panorama view over the Rhine and Dusseldorf makes the building striking. The conception of the perforated metal curtain façade allows for a gentle arrangement of open and closed areas. On the east, south, and west sides of the building, the wavy shell opens generously while also offering shade and wind protection. On the north side, the façade is closed to provide sound insulation from the traffic. Like a zipper, the transitions between open and closed are gradual and allow for flexible adaptation during the process of development over the years.

大楼低层六层的团体诊所、专家和治疗师的组合与现有的医院提供了协同作用，创造了一个具有超越当地区域重要性的医疗健康中心。上面的十四层楼以各种住宅形式的重要组合为特色，形成了透明的、采光充足的生活空间，并有宽敞的露台、阳台、木屋和屋顶花园。

The combination of group practices, specialists, and therapists in the lower six floors of the building offers synergies with the existing hospital to create a medical health center with an importance that goes beyond the local region. The fourteen floors above feature a vital mix of various residential forms resulting in transparent, light-flooded living spaces with generous terraces, balconies, loggias, and rooftop gardens.
