出于美学和经济上的原因，客户要求EC3使用奎尼茅屋，这是一种预制的轻型结构，由波纹镀锌钢和半圆形截面组成。

For aesthetic and economic reasons, the client challenged EC3 to utilize Quonset Huts, a prefabricated lightweight structure consisting of corrugated galvanized steel and having a semicircular cross section.

位于洛杉矶的EC3工作室创始人、Gehry Partners前设计合伙人埃德温·陈(Edwin Chan)评论道：“我们试图用原始的设计美学来捕捉底特律坚韧的美，同时为社区创造一个诱人的地方。”

Edwin Chan, founder of the Los Angeles-based studio EC3 and former design partner at Gehry Partners, commented: “We tried to capture the beauty of Detroit’s toughness with the raw aesthetic in its design, while creating an inviting place for the neighborhood.”

向社区开放，不设围栏，这些棚屋的战略布局是由开放和安全、景观和隐私、社交和独处的需要驱动的，使社区可以通过三条道路从街道进入。

Open to the neighborhood and without fencing, the strategic placement of the huts is driven by a need for openness and security, views and privacy, socializing and solitude, leaving the community accessible from the street via three pathways.

一旦进入社区，这些小径将游客连接到八个小屋(总共九个单元)、公共花园、三十棵树和后面小巷旁边的八个停车位。

Once inside the community, the pathways connect visitors to the eight huts (nine units total), communal gardens, thirty trees, and eight parking spots alongside the back alley.

每个结构都是组装在一个4英寸的混凝土板上，地板内的辐射热，这也是单位完成的地板。端墙采用自定义钢框架周围聚碳酸酯面板，提供了更高的安全水平，自然光和高热值。

Each structure is assembled on top of a four-inch concrete slab with in-floor radiant heat, which is also the units finished floor. The end walls feature custom steel framing around polycarbonate panels that provide a higher level of security, natural light and high thermal value.

对于内饰，EC3与客户和合作者合作，为这些单元开发各种布局-尺寸从475平方英尺到1600平方英尺不等-以激发不同的创造性生活方式。大多数单元还包括一个内部聚碳酸酯“岛”，包括一个厨房，一个浴室，和一个机械/储藏室。在岛的上方，一个阁楼平台为居住者提供了可供任何使用的挠性，可能是卧室、工作区或储藏室。

For the interiors EC3 worked with the client and collaborators to develop a variety of layouts for the units – sizes ranging from 475 to 1,600 square feet – to inspire different creative lifestyles. Most of the units also feature an interior polycarbonate “island” containing a kitchen, a bathroom, and a mechanical/storage closet. Above the island, a mezzanine platform provides occupants with a flex for any use, possibly a bedroom, workspace or storage.
