项目：大口屋建筑师：最佳实践建筑

Seattle has been home one of the nation’s hottest housing markets for years. And with all that growth comes questions around urban density, affordability and how to address growing housing needs. Big Mouth House is an answer to those questions from Best Practice Architecture. Developed by three Seattle architects, this multi-family project is an example of what versatile, forward-thinking, multi-family living can look like. Transformed from a single-family Central District residential lot, the project encompasses three townhomes (one unit at 1,850 sf and two units at 1,420 sf each). Each unit is a flexible urban home with a studio space, the main living area, and a rooftop deck to enjoy unbeatable views.

多年来，西雅图一直是全美最热的房地产市场之一。所有这些增长带来了关于城市密度、负担能力以及如何解决日益增长的住房需求的问题。“大嘴巴屋”是对“最佳实践架构”中这些问题的回答。由三位西雅图建筑师开发，这个多家庭项目就是一个多功能、前瞻性、多家庭生活的例子。该项目由一个单一家庭的中区住宅用地改造而成，包括三套城镇住宅(一套为1 850 SF，两套为1 420 SF)。每个单元都是一个灵活的城市住宅，有一个工作室空间，主要的生活区和屋顶甲板，以享受无与伦比的景观。

Black metal cladding envelops the exterior–bringing cohesiveness to the project. A rooftop mural and custom pink powder-coated panels, railing and signage provide pops of color. To help manage stormwater, the team incorporated a planted bio-retention zone and ensured the pathway and parking area is composed of previous paving systems to allow water to pass through.

黑色金属包层包裹了外部-给项目带来了凝聚力。屋顶壁画和定制粉红粉状面板，栏杆和标志提供POP颜色.为了帮助管理雨水，研究小组建立了一个人工种植的生物保留区，并确保道路和停车区域由以前的铺路系统组成，以允许水通过。

Inside, all units have a lower level income Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). These ADUs are connected to the interior, but also have a separate entrance. This flexible space can be used to expand the home (an additional bedroom, office, or family room) or as an independent apartment (to generate additional income as a short or long term rental).

在内部，所有单位都有一个较低收入的附属住宅单位(ADU)。这些ADU连接到内部，但也有一个单独的入口。这种灵活的空间可用于扩大住宅(额外的卧室、办公室或家庭房间)或作为独立公寓(作为短期或长期租金产生额外收入)。

Within units A and B, the ADUs are on the lower level and can be accessed from a lockable interior door or separate entrance. This floor also includes storage space. The second level has two bedrooms and a bathroom. The third floor features a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The location of the property was crucial to the design. By elevating the main living areas and putting windows on both sides, the team took full advantage of downtown views.

在单元A和B中，ADU位于较低的级别，可以从可锁的内部门或单独的入口进入。这层楼还包括存储空间。二楼有两间卧室和一间浴室。三楼设有客厅、餐厅和厨房。财产的位置是设计的关键。通过提升主要的生活区和两边的窗户，团队充分利用了市中心的景观。

In Unit C, the ADU unit, storage space, office area, and bike zone are located on the lower level. On the second floor, an open kitchen connects to the dining and living room with a large floor-to-ceiling window. Bedrooms, laundry, a guest bathroom and a stairway to the roof are located on the upper level. The intentional design of Big Mouth House offers urban homeowners much-needed flexibility not available in traditional home design. As city populations grow, architects can look to collaborations like this for smart, innovative solutions to questions around urban living and multi-family design.

在C单元中，ADU单元、存储空间、办公区和自行车区位于较低层。在二楼，一个开放式的厨房连接到餐厅和客厅，并有一个大的地板到天花板的窗户。卧室、洗衣房、客人浴室和通往屋顶的楼梯位于高层。“大口屋”的有意设计为城市业主提供了传统住宅设计中无法提供的迫切需要的灵活性。随着城市人口的增长，建筑师们可以指望像这样的合作，为围绕城市生活和多家庭设计的问题找到聪明、创新的解决方案。
