架构师提供的文本描述。Lofts是位于洛杉矶最活跃的开发走廊之一的82个单元的住宅建筑。坐落在拉斯帕尔马斯大道上，距离好莱坞和高地仅几步之遥，这个六层楼高的项目将一片182英尺x127英尺的地块注入其中，成为附近最高的新建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. The Line Lofts, is an 82-unit residential building located in one of Los Angeles’ most active development corridors. Situated along Las Palmas Avenue just steps away from Hollywood and Highland, the six-story project infills an 182-foot x 127-foot lot to become the tallest new construction in the neighborhood.

鉴于场地面积有限，周围有三栋建筑，防晒系数：a需要重新考虑传统的平面图。建筑师与客户和洛杉矶的开发商集成开发密切合作，创造了一个良好的照明和完善的公寓空间集合。

Given the constrained dimensions of the site, which is closely flanked by three buildings, SPF:a needed to rethink the traditional floor plan. The architect worked closely with the client and Los Angeles-based developer Integrated Development to create a collection of well-lit and well-articulated apartment spaces.

为了做到这一点，该建筑放弃了标准的文件柜布局，采用了C形结构，并以一种非常规的、但更为流畅的方式分散了它的流通空间。在不同的高度提供垂直的多层连接，第二层和第三层相连，第五层和第六层相连，开放的“庭院”与第六层合并。这种多层次的交流提供了不同楼层之间的视觉变化，并消除了任何相同或重复的感觉，而对于那些居住在公寓楼的人来说，这种感觉可能比较令人不快。此外，在空气建筑循环中，在传统上被忽视的通道中创造了“瞬间”。出口楼梯也被移动到外部，以释放内部空间，并鼓励居民使用楼梯作为替代建筑循环。

To do this, the building abandons the standard filing cabinet layout, taking on a C-formation and dispersing its circulation space in an unconventional, but far more fluid way. Vertical multi-floor connections are provided at various elevations, with the second and third floor linked, the fifth and sixth joined, and the open-to-sky “courtyard” merged with the sixth. This multi-level communication provides a visual variation among the floors and removes any feeling of sameness or repetition that can be relatively unpleasant for those living in apartment buildings. Moreover, the plein air architectural circulation creates “moments” within passages that are traditionally ignored. Egress stairs have also been moved to the exterior to free up interior space and encourage residents to use the stairs as alternative building circulation.

SPF：一个与开发商，集成开发，在舒适的空间密切合作，其中包括一个工作空间和在大厅中的湿吧，庭院游泳池，游泳池休息室娱乐室与地板到天花板的玻璃墙壁，使内部能视觉地流入游泳池区域。一个天空休息室顶部的建筑物提供好莱坞山和洛杉矶的天际线。这一区域设计了一个当代的，暴露的门厅，加强了内部-外部关系，同时也允许建筑的建筑框架的天空。

SPF:a worked closely with the developer, Integrated Development, on the amenity spaces, which include a workspace and wet bar in the lobby, a courtyard pool, and a pool lounge recreation room with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that allow the interior to visually flow into pool area. A sky lounge tops the building offering views of the Hollywood Hills and the Los Angeles skyline. This area was designed with a contemporary, exposed foyer that strengthens the interior-exterior relationship while also allowing for the architecture of the building to frame the sky.

同样，单位的设计优化自然光和周围的意见。每间公寓都有超大的窗户、玻璃滑块和一个中庭式阳台。通过将阳台从正面凹下，SPF：A能够暴露外部空间的三个侧面，从而放大进入光线。面向街道和庭院的单元部分被穿孔的屏幕所覆盖，这样就可以增加隐私，而不需要窗帘。

Similarly, units have been designed to optimize natural light and engage with surrounding views. Each apartment features oversized windows, glass sliders, and an atrium-like balcony. By recessing the balcony from the facade, SPF:a was able to expose three sides of the exterior space which amplifies the entering light. Street- and courtyard-facing units are partially shrouded with perforated screens to allow for increased privacy without the need for curtains.

“目标是尽可能深入到空间中去，”联邦航空局(FAIA)的Zoltan E.Pali说，SPF：A的创始人和设计负责人。补充道：“我们通常会在定制住宅中实现细节，我们试图在这些公寓中实现。我们希望改善通常与多户住宅相关的严格居住环境。“

“The goal was to get light as deep into the spaces as possible,” says Zoltan E. Pali, FAIA, SPF:a’s founder and design principal. Adding, “Details we would normally implement in a custom home, we tried to achieve in these apartments. We wanted to improve upon the rigid living environment that’s typically associated with multi-family residential buildings.”

预算限制在物质性方面发挥了作用，促使建筑师创造性地思考，现成的产品如何降低建筑成本，并反映出定制的外观。虽然建筑物的一楼是混凝土结构，但二到六层采用预制木框架。通过使用木框架，建筑师降低了成本，缩短了施工进度。

Budgetary constraints played a role in materiality, pushing the architects to think creatively about how off-shelf products could bring the cost of construction down and reflect a custom look. Although the first floor of the building is concrete, floors two through six employ prefabricated wood framing. By using a wood frame, the architects reduced costs and shortened the construction schedule.

主立面采用波纹金属和石膏的组合，交替制作动画图案。帕利看到了一个机会，可以用石膏的光滑性和金属的粗糙性创造出一种构图，后者自夸有一种金属的光洁度，它反映了一天中不断变化的天空色调，给人一种建筑物总是在变化的感觉。金属面板设计为一个雨幕系统，提供了一个更透气和节能的外部皮肤。

The main facade uses a combination of corrugated metal and plaster, alternated to create an animated pattern. Pali saw an opportunity to create a composition with the smoothness of the plaster and the roughness of the metal, the latter of which boasts a metallic finish that reflects the changing hues of the sky throughout the day to give a sense of a building always in flux. The metal panels were designed as a rain-screen system which provides for a more breathable and energy-efficient exterior skin.

值得注意的是，单元分配将公寓放在地面和顶层。通过在一楼建立双层单元，空间被打开，提供了更多的光线和隐私，使那些通常不那么令人垂涎的单元，即高级公寓。更新的底层程序也为在家工作的人和常客提供服务。

Notably, the unit distribution places lofted apartments on both the ground and top floors. By creating double-floor units on the first floor, the spaces are opened up and afforded more light and privacy, making what are typically less coveted units, prime apartments. The updated ground-floor programming also serves individuals who work from home and have frequent guests as well.
