架构师提供的文本描述。海军绿色支持住房是一个典型的支持性住房社区，由97个单一居住单元组成，为患有精神疾病的长期无家可归的成年人提供现场社会服务和活跃的公共空间。这座建筑是海军绿色发展的骄傲灯塔-这是一个458个单元的混合用途项目，由布鲁克林-皇后区高速公路和布鲁克林海军场之间的几乎整个街区组成，这片土地曾经是海军陆战队拘留设施的所在地。它被授予纽约市住房保护的设计和开发团队

Text description provided by the architects. Navy Green Supportive Housing is a model supportive housing community comprised of 97 single-occupancy units for chronically homeless adults with mental illness, with onsite social services and a lively array of communal spaces. The building is the proud beacon of the Navy Green development - a 458 unit, mixed-use project comprising almost an entire city block between the Brooklyn-Queens expressway and the Brooklyn Navy Yard on land which once housed the Navy Brig detention facility. It was awarded to the design and development team in a New York City Housing Preservation & Development RFP in 2007. The project represents a true community effort in which the local Brooklyn non-profit developer and architect of the supportive housing engaged the local community with charettes during the planning process, whose results helped define the larger LEED ND master plan and the supportive housing building itself. The master plan is unique, in that it clusters four mid-rise towers (market-rate, affordable, and supportive) and low-rise market-rate multi-family townhouses around a central, shared communal ‘green’ which serves as an urban oasis with planted gardens, playground and seating in a part of the city where green open space is a luxury. The variety of housing types and demographics reflect the variegated fabric of New York City’s population and offer significant affordability with rental apartments to market rate homeownership opportunities. Navy Green Supportive Housing is integrated into a new and vibrant effort to revitalize a part of Brooklyn that had deep connections to the city’s historic maritime heritage and current creative industries, the Brooklyn Navy Yard. And in this case, the NGSH building has brought value and a source of pride to the development and surrounding neighborhood.

这座建筑也为以前无家可归的人提供了舒适和自豪，并在居民、海军绿色社区的其他成员以及整个社区和城市中培养了一种独特的社区意识。它与坚韧不拔的邻居对话，拥抱这片布鲁克林工业区充满活力的文化多样性，给街道、高速公路和城市带来强烈的认同感。大胆，多色调，红色波纹金属面板包裹正面和侧面，作为对稳定的尾灯在高速公路上的眨眼，并点头的红砖褐石对面的拼凑。该结构系统是块和木板，虽然典型的支持性住房项目，由于其效率和成本，采取简单的移动，旋转块垂直于街道墙壁创造了一个无负荷的正面，从而允许动画表达的肖像和景观窗口在每个单位。

The building is also source of comfort and pride for the formerly homeless individuals and fosters a unique sense of community amongst the residents, the rest of the Navy Green community and the neighborhood and city at large. It dialogues with its gritty neighbors, embracing the vibrant cultural diversity of this slice of industrial Brooklyn, and presents a strong sense of identity to the street, freeway, and city. The bold, multi-hued, red-corrugated metal panels wrap the front and side facades as a wink to the steady stream of taillights on the expressway, and a nod to the patchwork of red brick brownstones opposite. The structural system is block and plank, while typical of a supportive housing project due to its efficiency and cost, the simple move made by rotating the block perpendicular to the street wall created a non-load bearing facade, thus allowing for the animated expression of the portrait and landscape windows within each unit.

一条被光线淹没的双高度入口邀请一名来自街道的人进入：城市规模的欢迎垫。这个开放的音量通过“狂暴剧场”将街景与公共的“绿色”连接起来。在其务实的本质上，前倾的，横冲直撞的影院作为一个ADA可访问的坡道连接街道人行道的水平和公共绿色。对于所有能力的居民来说，这个空间是休息、聚集和观看他们的社区的一个受欢迎的地方-庆祝日常生活的剧场。从另一个角度来看，这条长而稳定的斜坡为那些原本脆弱的人群提供了从街道到家庭的平滑解决方案。为了在尽可能多的路口培育一个健康的社区，我们开辟了各种各样的地方供人们聚集(狂暴剧场和社区会议室)，重建(公共绿色后庭院)，救护车(喷漆生气勃勃的防火楼梯，窗户通往令人兴奋的景色，以及生机勃勃、自然照明的走廊，鼓励身体健康)。

 A light-flooded, double-height entry invites one in from the street: a welcome mat at urban scale. This open volume bridges the streetscape to the communal ‘green’ via the “ramphitheater”. At its pragmatic essence, the raked, ramped ampitheater serves as an ADA accessible ramp connecting the street sidewalk level to the communal green. For residents of all abilities, the space is a welcome area to rest, gather, and view their community - celebrating the theater of everyday life. And from still another point of view, the long, steady slope realizes a smooth resolution from street to home for the primarily frail population.  To foster a healthy community at as many junctures as possible, we carved out a variety of places for people to congregate (ramphitheater and community meeting room), recreate (communal green rear courtyard), and ambulate (vibrantly painted fire egress stairs with windows to exciting views, and animated and naturally lit corridors encouraging physical fitness).

有一个承诺，部署创造性，深思熟虑的设计，在所有的规模。不同的颜色和超级图形宣布每一层和公寓单位。在单位内，仔细注意厨房的细节，包括整体的饮食和书写表面、浴室，以及平板家具公司Blu-Dot设计精良的家具。Emeco的经典海军椅，由回收的可口可乐瓶制成，这是对该地区海军根基的认可。100%的单元具有比城市法规规定的更多的ADA可访问单元的适应性。

There was a commitment to deploying inventive, thoughtful design at all scales. Varying and inviting colors and super-graphics announce each floor and apartment unit. Within the units careful attention is paid to detail at kitchenette with integral eating and writing surface, bathroom, to sturdy well-designed furnishings by the flat-pack furnishings company Blu-Dot.  Emeco’s classic Navy Chair, made with recycled Coca-Cola bottles gives a nod to the site’s naval roots. 100% of the units are adaptable with a higher number of ADA accessible units than city regulations mandate.

可持续性在建筑中很普遍，因为它已经获得了纽约SERDA认证，并且至少超过了LEED银牌。然而，与LEED认证相关的费用却花在FF上。

Sustainability is prevalent in the building as it has been NYSERDA Certified, and would have at minimum surpassed LEED Silver. However, the costs associated with LEED certification was instead spent on FF &E.  Green building elements include:  masonry block that is a recycled supplementary cementitious material derived from post-consumer recycled glass – 97% locally sourced / Polystyrene insulation on the exterior foundation  and cavity walls / Boiler located on roof/ Energy Star performance thresholds for appliances, HVAC, lighting, and  triple pane windows / Low-VOC interior paints and emission free MDF woodwork / Low-flow shower heads and toilets / Recycled content laminates and linoleum flooring / White roofing system reducing heat transfer to the building.
