Neighborhood

莱西位于华盛顿特区肖社区，距著名的U街走廊三个街区。这一社区的建筑主要是维多利亚时代的，由投机者和房地产开发商为应对内战后联邦政府的快速增长而匆忙建造的排屋。在20世纪初，U街走廊是美国最大的非裔美国人社区的所在地，直到20世纪20年代被哈莱姆超越。该社区仍然是非裔美国人的文化中心，生产珍珠贝利和艾灵顿公爵。1968年马丁·路德·金遇刺以及随后发生的骚乱之后，这片街区迅速衰落，直到20世纪90年代。该社区的第一批改造项目之一是一个5排住宅开发项目，该项目是由分区开发和设计的，是在毒品泛滥的空地上开发和设计的。很快就有了W街的住宅，离这里只有几个街区远，也是由1区开发和设计的，最近还有莱西共管公寓(Lacey Condominium)。通过这三个项目，分区1锚定了这个社区，恢复了它的文化意义-现在是华盛顿特区的设计中心。

The Lacey is located three blocks from the famed U Street Corridor in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. The buildings comprising the neighborhood are predominately Victorian-era, hastily constructed, row houses by speculative builders and real estate developers in response to the rapid growth of the federal government following the Civil War. During the turn of the 20th century the U Street Corridor was home to the nation’s largest African American community until it was surpassed by Harlem in the 1920’s. The Neighborhood remained a cultural center for African Americans, producing the likes of Pearl Bailey and Duke Ellington. Following the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and consequent riots, the neighborhood went into rapid decline until the 1990’s. One of the first transformative projects for the neighborhood was a 5 row house development developed and designed on vacant drug infested lots by Division1. This was soon followed by the W Street residence, only a couple of blocks away, also developed and designed by Division1, and most recently the Lacey condominiums. With these 3 projects, Division1 anchored the neighborhood and reinstated its cultural significance — now the design-center of Washington, DC.

莱西餐厅曾是佛罗里达大道烧烤店的停车场，这是一家具有里程碑意义的非裔美国人灵魂食品店，于1944年开业，也是少数几家历经数十年衰落而幸存下来的餐厅之一。佛罗里达大道烧烤店的老板委托1区建造一座前瞻性建筑，它将脱离过去衰落的砖房和迫击性租户建筑，对未来表示乐观，同时象征着对社区及其重生的奉献。因此，为了纪念老莱西·威尔逊和小莱西·C·威尔逊，这座建筑被命名为“莱西”。佛罗里达大道烧烤店的老总。

The site of the Lacey was a former parking lot for the Florida Avenue Grill, a landmark African American soul-food establishment that opened in 1944, and one of the few restaurants that survived through decades of decline. The owner of the Florida Avenue Grill commissioned Division1 to build a forward-looking building that would depart from the brick and mortar tenant buildings of the declining past and express an optimism for the future while symbolizing a dedication to the neighborhood and its rebirth. Thus the building was named the Lacey in honor of Lacey C. Wilson Sr. and Lacey C. Wilson Jr. longtime proprietors of the Florida Avenue Grill.

从街道上，莱西可以被看作是一个大的音量设置在一个较低的音量，包括复音与私人入口，弯道，小前院(典型的周围排房屋)。容纳不同单位的较大体积实际上被分成两部分，形成了一个完整的走廊，运行着网站的长度。走廊的每一端都是全高度的玻璃(一个轻钢框架，外部楼梯从一侧推开，带居民到公共露台和屋顶)，允许最大限度的光线和通风。所有进入单位的通道都包含在这个中央空间，通过交错着陆，最大限度地开放。所有的单位都有一个阳台，而许多单位有一个阳台和一个露台或庭院。

From the street the Lacey can be seen as one large volume set upon a lower volume comprised of duplexes with private entrances, stoops, small front yards (typical of the surrounding row homes). The larger volume holding the various units is actually split in two creating a full-height corridor that runs the length of the site. Each end of the corridor is full-height glass (a light steel frame exterior staircase pushes out from one side that takes residents to a communal terrace and rooftop) allowing for maximum light and ventilation. All access to the units is contained in this central space by means of staggered landings that maximize openness. All of the units have either a balcony, while many have a balcony and either a terrace or courtyard.
