In Los Angeles there is a new apartment on the block, designed to speak the language of Sunset Boulevard by Warren Techentin Architecture (WTARCH). With the aim to naturally embed the design into its Echo Park neighbourhood, architect Warren Techentin, principal of WTARCH lifted colours, materials and textures from the urban environment between DTLA and the Dodger Stadium.

在洛杉矶有一个新的公寓，设计为讲语言的日落大道由沃伦·特亨廷建筑(WTARCH)(WTARCH)。为了自然地将设计嵌入Echo公园社区，建筑师WarrenTechentin，WTARCH的负责人，从DTLA和道奇体育场之间的城市环境中提升了色彩、材料和纹理。

The result is an eclectic mix of textures – no façade is the same. To the west the building presents a CNC-cut perforated aluminium rain and solar shading screen fabricated by Arktura with cut-out ‘eylids’. To the north, pink cruciform geometries and a scattering of windows puncture a black painted façade. A white façade with deep recessed balconies faces east, and a yellow façade inspired by nearby auto dealerships shaded by a cedar screen wall faces south.

其结果是一个折中的纹理组合-没有一个外观是相同的。在西部，这座建筑展示了一个数控切割穿孔铝雨和太阳能遮阳屏幕，由阿尔图拉制造，切出“眼罩”。在北面，粉红的十字形几何图形和散落的窗户刺穿了一个漆黑的外墙。白色立面，深凹阳台朝东，黄色立面由附近的汽车经销商启发，由雪松屏风墙遮阳，面朝南。

The Elysian Fields Apartments comprises four separate buildings that surround an inner courtyard with a large planter of miniature fruit trees hiding a rainwater filtration system. Inside, there are 27 live/work apartments none of which are the same – each have different plans that vary from a 580 sq ft micro-unit to a 1,375 sq ft three bedroom loft, yet all have vast windows, double height spaces, balconies and private patios.

爱丽舍斯田园公寓由四个独立的建筑组成，围绕着一个内庭院，里面有一个小型果树种植园，里面隐藏着雨水过滤系统。在室内，有27套居住/工作公寓-每个公寓都有不同的计划，从580平方英尺的微型单元到1375平方英尺的三卧室阁楼不等，但都有巨大的窗户、双高的空间、阳台和私人露台。

Designed to meet the demands of all types of demographic, the multi-family housing is a unique offering for Echo Park, a neighbourhood in a city sprawling with low-rise single family homes. WTARCH’s apartment building aims to replicate the same values found there – such as large open spaces, areas for pets, trees, and space to customise and experiment, yet also bring a new type of density to the area. §

为满足各类人口的需求，这套多家庭住房是Echo Park的独特产品，Echo Park是一个城市中的一个街区，有着低矮的单身家庭住宅。WTARCH的公寓楼的目标是复制那里发现的同样的价值-比如大面积的空地、宠物区、树木，以及定制和实验的空间，同时也给这个地区带来了一种新型的密度。§
