架构师提供的文本描述。La CASA是国家首都无家可归者护理的新原型。拉卡不是一个收容所，那里的客户在夜间住宿，白天被要求离开，而是为40人提供全天候的永久住房。每个生活单元都设计成一个人的效率。这种永久住房将为男性提供稳定和可预见性，因为他们重新沉浸在日常生活中。永久支持性住房是从全职护理向独立生活过渡的一个重要步骤。

Text description provided by the architects. LA CASA is a new prototype for homeless care in the Nation’s Capital. Rather than function as a shelter, where clients are housed at night and asked to leave during the day, La Casa provides round-the-clock permanent housing for forty men. Each living unit is designed as a single person efficiency. This permanent housing will provide stability and predictability for the men as they re-immerse themselves into day-to-day living. Permanent Supportive Housing is a significant step in the transition from full time care to independent living.

通过这一项目，哥伦比亚特区将重新定义一种产生防腐机构设施的无家可归者照料模式。建筑师们很幸运，有一个市政客户要求拉卡萨的设计质量超过相邻的市价共管公寓的设计质量。这是该市第一个永久性支助性住房设施，也是本区努力重新界定无家可归者社区住房概念的一个重要里程碑。

With this project, the District of Columbia will redefine a homeless care paradigm that produces antiseptic institutional facilities. The architects were fortunate in having a municipal client that requested the design quality of La Casa exceed that of the adjacent market-rate condominiums. This is the first permanent supportive housing facility in the City and an important milestone for the District in its efforts to redefine the concept of housing for the homeless community.

单元内部是为空间效率和耐用性而设计的。在更昂贵的工作室阁楼公寓的启发下，每个住宅单元都为自然采光和通风提供从地板到天花板的可操作窗户。这些单元提供功能简单，将混合生活与饮食结合在一起，还有带有睡眠空间的厨房空间。由水泥和竹子制成的温暖耐用的地板，可以补充洁白的墙壁和精致的灰色厨房。与许多支持性住房项目中的效率单元或单间占用单元不同的是，La Casa的设计是为了在集体住房的背景下促进个性化的身份认同。La Casa的建筑群是在街道上雕刻的，以创造一个开放和诱人的入口。层层的玻璃提供进入室内的视觉通道，加强了社区对建筑项目的可访问性，同时也提供了安全。

Unit  interiors are designed for space efficiency and durability.  Inspired by more costly studio loft apartments, each dwelling unit provides floor-to-ceiling operable windows for natural daylighting and ventilation.    The units offer functional simplicity, coupling a hybrid living, eating, and kitchen space with a sleeping niche.  Warm and durable flooring of exposed concrete and bamboo complements crisp white walls and a refined gray kitchen.  Unlike the efficiency units or single room occupancy units found in many supportive housing projects, La Casa is designed to foster individualized identity within the context of collective housing.  La Casa’s building mass is carved at the street level to create an open and inviting entry.  Layers of glazing provide visual access to the interior, reinforcing to the community the accessibility of the building’s programs, while also providing security.
