架构师提供的文本描述。作家座是一个1500平方英尺的活工作阁楼，设计作为一个创意生产的角落，在一个历史性的仓库建筑。这个空间是由一对夫妇购买的，一位是“纽约时报”畅销书作者，另一位是游戏设计师。这个单位并不打算成为他们的主要居住地点，于是他们就来了：Col，作为一个紧凑型的城市度假地。他们的工作包括写作、绘画、音乐和游戏设计。他们还需要一个在广泛的图书游览和旅行之间休息的地方。这个阁楼是在洛杉矶市中心设计的，专门用来解决艺术家的这种双重用途。

Text description provided by the architects. The Writer's Block is a 1,500 square foot live-work loft designed as a creative production nook within a historic warehouse building. The space was purchased by a couple, one a New York Times bestselling author and the other a game designer. The unit was not intended to be their primary place of dwelling, and they approached CHA:COL for it as a compact urban getaway. Their work involved writing, drawing, music and game design within this getaway. They also needed it a place of respite between extensive book tours and travels. The loft was zoned Live-Work in downtown Los Angeles, a use set up specifically to address this kind of dual-use by artists.

因此，我们的设计重点是创造一个紧凑但流畅的艺术环境，让用户轻松地进行创造性的生产和休息。我们从他们的写作、游戏和幻想环境背景中汲取线索，从埃舍尔式的纪念碑谷的几何图形中汲取灵感。

Our design focus therefore centered on the creation of a compact but fluid artistic environment, to put users at ease with creative production and rest. Taking cues from their writing, gaming and fantasy environment background, we drew inspiration from the Escher-like geometries of the game Monument Valley.

这款游戏的独特之处在于它能够将二维线条和形状转换成一个玩家居住的三维环境。类似于Ida穿过倾斜的平面和棱角分明的墙壁的方式，我们设想客户通过一个中央创意区域(一边是角度3D娱乐区，另一边是无声作家办公桌)进入休息室(嵌入地毯的乐队从定制的磨坊中出来，爬上墙壁，就像一幅大胆的图形壁画)。

The game is unique in its ability to transform  two dimensional lines and shapes into a three dimensional environment that a player inhabits. Similar to the way Ida moves through tilted planes and angular walls, we envisioned the clients moving through a central creative area (the angular 3D entertainment area on one side and the silent writers desk on the other side) into the lounge (the inlaid carpet bands emerge out of the custom millwork piece and climb up the walls as a bold graphic mural).

 Mural Studies

壁画研究

因此，我们建议的设计是在图形和空间之间的移动和流动关系的前提下进行的。我们研究了单个核几何学的许多迭代，以帮助每个活动而不关闭其他可能性。我们给我们的解决方案取名为“作家座”。作为一个中心元素，它起到了空间分离、生产马匹和一件家具的作用。一张书桌放在一张脸上，一张架子在另一张脸上，另一张脸上有一个休息室。壁画和地板装饰延伸了2d/3D操作的概念，可互换图形和空间。所有的设计区域都从和进入作家座。

Our proposed design therefore played on a premise of shifting and fluid relationship between the graphic and the spatial. We studied many iterations of a single core geometry to aid each activity without shutting off other possibilities. We nicknamed our solution the Writer's Block. As a central element it functions as spatial separation, production workhorse and a piece of furniture. A writing desk on one face, a shelf in another and a lounge elsewhere. The mural and floor finishes extend the concept of 2d/3d manipulation, interchangeably graphic and spatial. All design areas flowed from and into the Writer's Block.

这是令人鼓舞的从客户从后占用，他们喜欢广泛地利用这个空间为他们的素描，写作和音乐工作，并挂在那里，经常合作旅游和旅游。

It was heartening to hear from the clients post-occupancy, that they love using the space extensively for their sketching, writing and musical work, and hang out there to collaborate often between tours and travels.
