This 19-unit mixed-use multi-family building includes three stories of flats and double-height mezzanine loft apartments, as well as 1600 square feet of retail on the ground floor. The permeable layers of the perforated aluminum façade creates an ever-changing screen that sparkles in the sun and glows at night, while simultaneously providing shade to cool the building, reducing noise, enhancing privacy, and still allowing for spectacular views, great natural light and ventilation from prevailing breezes which pass through its millions of perforations. The material reappears as a strategic arrangement of screens on the east, west and north-facing walls, lending a subtle rhythm to the exterior circulation while filtering direct sunlight thru the façade. This lends unexpected visual depth, enhancing the structure's geometric texture.
The building form is also shaped to create a light filled courtyard on the second level providing residents with a secure and welcoming surrounding while connecting directly to the street below. Exterior walkways eliminate the need for climate-controlled circulation, while allowing for cross ventilation and ample daylight from a multitude of directions. Large areas of glazing and operable window maximize daylighting and optimize building performance. Indoor air quality was emphasized by minimizing off-gassing.
這座擁有十九個單元的多用途多戶建築,包括三戶公寓、雙倍挑高複層公寓以及位於一樓一千六百平方英尺的零售空間。穿孔鋁製立面的透水層創造了一個在陽光下閃閃發光、在夜間熠熠生輝且隨著光線不斷變化的平面,並在為建築物提供遮陽降溫、減少噪音、增強隱私功能的同時,仍不影響壯觀的景色、充足的自然光和來自其數百萬個穿孔的通風。這座建築物所使用的材料在東、西和北面的牆壁上重新作為屏風出現以呼應設計,不僅為建物外部的空氣流通帶來微妙的節奏,同時過濾了直射的陽光,帶來意想不到的視覺深度並增強了結構的幾何紋理。
這種建築形式也是為了在建物二樓打造一個光線充足的庭院,為居民提供一個安全和溫馨的環境,同時直接連接下方的街道。外部走道消除了對氣候控制循環的需要,同時引入來自多個方向的通風和充足日光。此外,其大面積的玻璃窗和可自由調節的窗戶最大限度地利用採光並優化建築性能,室內空氣品質也通過減少廢氣排放得到提升。
