周五,唐纳德·特朗普总统白宫宴会厅项目迄今为止最详细的效果图短暂对外公布,展示了这个计划中 89,000 平方英尺的巨大空间规模。
夏隆·巴兰斯联合建筑师事务所的效果图由美国国家首都规划委员会在其网站上发布,随后迅速被撤下。这些效果图显示,新的东翼可能横跨约一个街区,明显比西翼更长。它的长度似乎也超过了财政部大楼的一半,而财政部大楼就在其旁边。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)已联系美国国家首都规划委员会(NCPC,负责审批联邦土地项目的规划机构)、该建筑公司以及白宫,询问为何该提案从网站上撤下,并寻求进一步置评。
该项目正面临美国顶级历史保护组织的法律挑战,上月一名联邦法官对特朗普在未经国会明确授权的情况下建造宴会厅的权力表示深切怀疑。然而,工程仍在推进,特朗普本周早些时候声称该项目提前于计划,并在预算范围内。白宫表示,宴会厅将由私人资金资助。
“建成后,它将是世界上任何地方建造的最精致的宴会厅,150 多年来历任总统都梦寐以求——而现在他们将拥有最好的!”特朗普在 Truth Social 平台上发文称,并补充说,原本传统上在美国国会大厦举行的总统就职典礼可能会在这个宴会厅举行。
美国国家首都规划委员会定于 3 月 5 日召开会议讨论该提案。特朗普已任命忠诚支持者加入国家首都规划委员会,以及艺术委员会(另一个必须审查宴会厅计划的机构)。

东翼的拆除工程于 10 月开始,为特朗普在白宫场地建造一个活动空间的 15 年计划让路,该空间旨在扩大建筑的娱乐容量——但同时也类似于他私人俱乐部的镀金空间。
宴会厅的最新成本估算为 4 亿美元。该项目的私人捐赠者包括苹果、亚马逊、洛克希德·马丁、微软、谷歌、Coinbase、康卡斯特和 Meta 等知名公司。
白宫于 12 月聘请夏隆·巴兰斯联合建筑师事务所作为宴会厅建设的新建筑师,此前有消息人士告诉 CNN,总统与最初签约的建筑师之间存在分歧。
新建筑师上月告诉国家首都规划委员会,扩建项目将包含一个约 22,000 平方英尺的宴会厅,可容纳 1,000 名就座宾客,整体规模约为 89,000 平方英尺。

Architect submits most-detailed renderings so far for White House ballroom

The most-detailed renderings yet of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project were briefly made available Friday, showing the massive scale of the planned 89,000-square-foot space.
The renderings from Shalom Baranes Associates — which were posted by the National Capital Planning Commission on its website and then swiftly taken down — show the new East Wing could span approximately one street block, significantly longer than the West Wing. It also appears to be more than half the length of the Treasury Building, which it would be next to.
CNN has reached out to the NCPC, the planning agency for federal land that must approve the project; the architecture firm; and the White House regarding why the proposal was removed from the website and for additional comment.
The project is facing a legal challenge from the nation’s top historical preservation group, with a federal judge expressing deep skepticism last month over Trump’s authority to construct the ballroom without express authorization from Congress. Yet, construction is moving ahead, with Trump claiming earlier this week that the project is ahead of schedule and within budget. The White House has said the ballroom would be privately funded.
“When completed, it will be the finest Ballroom ever built anywhere in the World, one that has been sought by Presidents for over 150 years — and now they are getting THE BEST!” Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that future presidential inaugurations — which are traditionally held in the US Capitol — could be held in the ballroom.
The National Capital Planning Commission is set to meet next on March 5 to discuss the proposal. Trump has appointed loyalists to the NCPC, as well as to the Commission of Fine Arts, the other organization that must review the ballroom plans.

Demolition of the East Wing began in October, making way for Trump’s 15-year ambition to construct an event space on the White House grounds that expands the building’s entertaining capacity — but that also resembles the gilded spaces of his private clubs.
The most recent estimate for the cost of the ballroom is $400 million. Private donors for the project include prominent companies, such as Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta.
The White House hired Shalom Baranes Associates as the new architect for the ballroom construction in December, with sources previously telling CNN there were disputes between the president and the architect originally contracted for the project.
The expansion will feature a ballroom of approximately 22,000 square feet, which can accommodate 1,000 seated guests, and the overall size will be roughly 89,000 square feet, the new architect told the NCPC last month.
