架构师提供的文本描述。索菲亚·洛夫茨将历史悠久的金山引入到一种鲜明的、以社区为导向的城市生活方式。迷人的中世纪现代设计和前瞻性的可持续性功能(包括现场电动汽车充电器和一个创新的自行车共享项目)创造了一个环境，以促进代际生活和多样化的人口结构。纳赫沙布团队来自于一种植根于培育多代关系的文化，在设计能够增加居民之间互动的空间时，纳赫沙布团队受到了这一价值观的影响。

Text description provided by the architects. Sofia Lofts introduces historic Golden Hill to a sharply contemporary, distinctively community-oriented approach to urban living. Appealing Mid-Century Modern design and forward-looking sustainability features (including on-site electric vehicle chargers and an innovative bike-sharing program) create an environment to foster inter-generational living and a diverse demographic. Coming from a culture rooted in the nurturing of multi-generational relationships, the Nakhshab team was influenced by this value when designing the spaces that would increase interaction between residents.

该项目由16间工作室、一间和两间卧室的租金组成，这些公寓围绕着纳赫沙卜团队选定的一栋历史悠久的三居室房屋，将被修复并作为项目的一个焦点。旧与新是通过相似的外观装饰统一起来的，创造了古典与现代建筑独特而和谐的美学。这一对比再次强调在戏剧性的悬臂设计，如进入财产，允许历史鹅卵石墙保存。

The project consists of 16 studios, one and two-bedroom rentals that have been constructed around an existing, historic three-bedroom house which was chosen by the Nakhshab team to be restored and used as a focal point within the project. The old and new is unified through similar exterior finishes to create a unique and harmonizing aesthetic of classic and modern architecture. This contrast is again highlighted in the dramatic cantilevered design as seen upon entry onto the property that allowed the historic cobble-stone wall to be preserved.

室内设计的特点是简约的设计，干净的线条，简单的完成，开放的概念布局，让居民安排空间，以满足他们的需要。该建筑群本身就是一个精品酒店，拥有舒适和“宜居”的密度，为所有居民增加了单位自然照明和高质量的生活质量。虽然房产允许更高的密度，纳赫哈布斯决定创造一个更精致的环境，使自己更多的社区感觉。

The interior design features minimalistic design with clean-lines, simple finishes, and open-concept layouts that allow residents to arrange the space to their needs. The complex itself is a boutique property that has a comfortable and “livable” density, increasing unit natural lighting and high quality of life for all residents. Though the property allowed for higher density, the Nakhshabs decided to create a more boutique environment which lends itself to more of a community feel.

索菲亚楼的一个主要重点是通过将被动的可持续方法纳入设计，使这些单元能够负担得起和可持续。此外，每个单元都配备了自己的太阳能光伏系统，帮助居民减少碳足迹，并抵消他们的能源成本。此外，高效率的水管装置和无水箱热水器已被纳入，以提高节水和效率。居民还可以使用社区内的自行车共享计划，以及现成的汽车共享计划-Car-2 Go，其中两个充电站是在现场提供的。索菲亚酒店也位于市中心，使人们可以方便地进入公共设施和公共机构，同时减少居民的上下班时间。

A major focus at Sofia Lofts was to make the units affordable and sustainable by incorporating passive sustainable methods into the design. In addition, each unit is equipped with their own solar PV system, helping residents decrease their carbon footprint as well as offsetting their energy costs. Also, high efficiency plumbing fixtures and tankless water heaters have been incorporated to increase water conservation and efficiency. Residents also have access to a bike sharing program within the community as well as the readily available car sharing program, Car-2-Go, for which two charging stations are provided on site. Sofia Lofts is also centrally located, making it easy to access public amenities and institutions while decreasing commute times for residents.

“社区内的社区”的目标是通过一种布局来实现的，在这个布局中，所有单位都可以看到一个带烧烤架的亲密公共区域、一个休息区、一个户外放映电影的空间和其他共享活动。这个想法是让所有的居民联系和互动，就像一个由几代人组成的大家庭。因此，有各种不同的单位，居民可以成长或缩小规模，并迎合多代人和人口统计。索菲亚·洛夫茨(SofiaLofts)适合不同的生活方式-无论是大学生、成长中的家庭，还是退休夫妇。这一有机社区真实地反映了历史和建筑多样性的金山社区。

The “community within a community” objective is achieved by a layout in which all units look out onto an intimate common area with a BBQ grill, a lounge area, a space for showing movies outdoors and other shared activities. The idea is for all residents to connect and interact, very much like a large family of several generations. For this reason, there are a variety of different units that residents can grow into or downsize from and that cater to multiple generations and demographics. Sofia Lofts is adaptable and customizable for different lifestyles- anywhere from a college student, to a growing family, and to a retired couple. This organic community truly reflects the historic and architecturally diverse neighborhood of Golden Hill.
