加州回声公园

Echo Park, California

在日本，鳗鱼巢的名字通常是指非常窄的地块，通常是3米或15英尺宽的地块。Echo公园这片土地的宽度正好是15英尺，建筑师SimonStorey认为这是进行紧凑高效城市生活实验的完美场所。通过垂直，简单和最小的建筑，他能够使用每平方英尺的空间来创建一个现场工作的房子。

The name Eel’s Nest is often given to very narrow lots in Japan, those typically 3 meters or 15 feet in width. The width of this lot in Echo Park is exactly 15 feet and architect Simon Storey felt it was the perfect site to experiment with compact and efficient urban living. By building vertically, simply and minimally, he was able to use every square foot of space to create a live-work house.

地块面积780平方英尺，原址建筑面积约370平方英尺。1927年的许可证显示了一个小房子在它自己的地段，这就排除了它可能是一个马车房。该公司的数据是如此独特，以至于建筑部门的员工表示，他们从未见过类似的情况。

The lot size is 780 square feet and the original building on site was around 370 square feet. The permit from 1927 shows a small house on it’s own lot, which this rules out the possibility it was a carriage house. Its data was so unique that employees at the building department said they had never seen anything like it.

为了最大限度地扩大网站，并通过一个额外的故事，需要特别许可的规划部门。原来的房子被完全拆毁了，除了地下室的几堵墙，这些墙仍然清晰可见。因为房子是建在房产线上的，所以法规要求房子的外部有防火等级。为了解决这一挑战，西蒙把房子里的水泥灰泥涂上了耐火层。

In order to maximize the site and expand by an additional story special permission was required by the planning department. The original house was completely demolished except a few walls in the basement, which are still visible. Because the house is built to the property line the code requires that the house be fire rated on the exterior. To solve this challenge, Simon clad the house cement plaster for fire resistance.

室内空间已经加倍，创造了温暖的木地板和橱柜贯穿每一层和光线渗透到生活和第一层空间，创造了一个开放的楼梯在第二层。在密集的城市开发项目之上，有一层屋顶，可以看到好莱坞的标志和圣加布里埃尔山脉。

The interior space has now doubled to create a Warm wood floors and cabinets run through every level and light penetrates into the living and first level spaces by creating an open stair at the 2nd level. A roof deck, which rises above the dense urban development, has views that extend as far as the Hollywood sign and the San Gabriel Mountains.
