架构师提供的文本描述。黑鸟是一群18人的住宅，坐落在洛杉矶回声公园社区的波西米亚山丘上，由贝斯特建筑公司(Bestor Architecture)设计。多房开发是一个渐进的设计解决方案，高质量的密集住房，在一个城市，很少的土地。这些房屋占地1930平方英尺，由两间和三间卧室组成，围绕着一条活生生的街道建造：一个由景观和停车场组成的中央庭院，同时也是更大的社区功能和玩耍的舞台。

Text description provided by the architects. Blackbirds is a cluster of 18 homes nestled in the bohemian hills of Los Angeles’ Echo Park neighborhood designed by Bestor Architecture. The multi-house development is a progressive design solution for high quality dense housing in a city with little available land. The houses are 1,930 square feet or less, are a mix of two and three bedrooms, and are built around a living street: a central courtyard that comprises both landscape and parking areas, as well as serving as the stage for larger community functions and play.

山间房屋的安置模仿了20世纪初该地区的工匠小屋，并采用了一种“隐身密度”的策略，将几所房屋合并成一个单一的房屋形状的体积。例如，两个独立的房子是通过闪烁连接起来的，屋顶创造了一个房子质量的错觉。三栋房子，其分离被蒙住了，有一种幻想，那就是两座房子。这就隐藏了单位的实际密度，通过在这个占地82英亩的土地上保持邻里形状和景观环境来隐藏单位的实际密度。这18所房屋坐落在一个耐旱的景观中，成熟的树木被编织到周围的邻里织物中。社区是私人空间、半私人空间和公共空间的融合，并通过鼓励互动和交流来促进与邻居和社区的联系。该设计的重点是提高城市环境中的生活质量，促进邻居之间的互动，与自然景观单元之间的联系，以及具有敏感尺度和聚集性的中等密度。

The placement of the houses in the hills mimics the early 20th century craftsman cabins of the area, and deploys a strategy of “stealth density”, combining several houses into a single house shaped volume. For instance two free-standing houses are connected by flashing and the roofline creates the illusion of one house mass. Three houses, whose separation is masked has the illusion of being two houses. This conceals the actual density of units by maintaining the neighborhood shape and landscape context across the .82 acre site. The 18 houses are situated in a drought tolerant landscape with mature trees that is woven into the surrounding neighborhood fabric. The community is a thoughtful blend of private, semi-private and public space, and promotes connections with neighbors and the community by encouraging interaction and exchange. The emphasis of the design is on a higher quality of life within an urban context by promoting interactions between neighbors, links between units with native landscaping, and medium density with sensitive scale and massing.

在一个气候温和的城市里，这些房屋都有广阔的窗户，有城市和山景，带来丰富的自然光和通风。共享的“街道”略有倾斜，因此雨水可以收集和过滤，以便浇水。

The homes feature expansive windows with city and mountain views that bring in abundant natural light and ventilation in a city with a temperate climate. The shared “street” is slightly sloped so rain water can be collected and filtered for watering the site.
