位于洛杉磯和勞德代爾堡的Brooks + Scarpa設計公司完成了玫瑰公寓。這個獲得LEED（美國綠色建筑評估體系）金級認證的四層混合功能建筑,是一座100%經(jīng)適型公寓，35個居住單位，供處于過渡年齡期的青年提供居住空間。當青少年福利設施的孩子年滿18周歲，被迫離開時，常因無處可去其中的大多數(shù)最終會流落街頭。玫瑰公寓為這些原本會露宿街頭的年輕人提供了家園。這座建筑選址于無需私家車也能便捷出行的地方。

新建筑位于全食超市、7-11超市、自助洗衣店、林肯五金商店和其他一系列便利設施的正對面，距離海灘僅七個街區(qū)，毗鄰威尼斯獨具一格的玫瑰大道上的潮流商店和餐廳。受附近由歐文·吉爾于1919年建造的Horatio Court的啟發(fā)，該建筑圍繞地面層商業(yè)空間上方的架高庭院設計。庭院式公寓在洛杉磯已經(jīng)存在了一百多年，促進了以行人為導向的社區(qū)關系，作為無序擴張的替代方案，在項目中心創(chuàng)造了可使用的空間，而不是建筑體量之外未使用的剩余空間。

洛杉磯管理委員會主任肯·伯恩斯坦（Ken Bernstein）表示，許多20世紀50年代之前建造，尤其是位于好萊塢和西好萊塢區(qū)域的庭院公寓，都是對本土建筑的探索，“他說，這也是為了營造鄰里關系。與其他多住戶住房相比，庭院式公寓更能提供歸屬感。“對于居住在庭院周圍的人來說，這個空間提供了一種安全感和隱私性；庭院是一個介于住宅和街道之間的準公共空間。

庭院只是成功設計的一個方面。玫瑰公寓建立在南加州的住宅類型的基礎上，區(qū)別于早期的傳統(tǒng)建筑，更具特質(zhì)——創(chuàng)造了更高的安全性、隱私性和開放性，同時連接到建筑墻外更大的社區(qū)。通過在這個市場價位項目中包含經(jīng)濟適用房，開發(fā)商可以利用加利福尼亞州議會法案AB763來增加高度和密度，將項目密度從地區(qū)平均的12.30/DU/A提升到每英畝超過110個單位。這種急需的經(jīng)濟適用房為居住在城鎮(zhèn)富裕地區(qū)的貧困和弱勢群體提供了住房。對地區(qū)發(fā)展非常重要的工人因低收入而無力負擔生活費用的情況在當?shù)胤浅谰擁椖恳灿兄诰徑饴迳即壗?jīng)適房的供應短缺。

同以前的許多傳統(tǒng)庭院結(jié)構(gòu)一樣，玫瑰公寓的主要外立面材料是常用的水泥抹灰。然而，對于經(jīng)濟適用房項目通常會遇到的問題，玫瑰公寓采用了扇形墻壁，賦予深度、質(zhì)感以及紋理的變化。?

BROOKS + SCARPA Releases Images of Recently Completed Rose Apartments for Formerly Homeless Teenage Youths Transitioning into Adulthood.?

??Jeff Durkin

Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale based design firm Brooks + Scarpa has completed Rose Apartments. This new LEED Gold four-story 35-unit Rose mixed-use 100% affordable apartment structure for transitional aged youths. When kids "term out" as they say when they turn 18 years old and are forced to leave a youth facility, most wind up living on the street because there is no place for them to go. Rose Apartments provides a home to this young adult who would otherwise be living on the street. The building is located where no car is needed.?

??Jeff Durkin

The new building is situated directly across the street from Whole Foods, 7 Eleven, a laundromat, Lincoln Hardware and a host of other amenities and is just seven blocks from the beach, adjacent to the toney shops and restaurants on the eclectic Rose Avenue in Venice. Taking cues from the nearby Horatio Court, built in 1919 by Irving Gill, the building is designed around an elevated courtyard above ground level commercial space. The courtyard typology has existed in Los Angeles for more than a hundred years. It promotes pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods as an alternative to sprawl, creating usable space in the center of the project, instead of unused, leftover space outside of the building volume.?

According to Ken Bernstein, director of preservation for the Los Angeles Conservancy, a lot of the courtyard apartments build prior to the 1950s, especially in Hollywood and West Hollywood, "were part of a search for indigenous architecture," he says, as much as an attempt to create neighborliness. More than any other multi-dwelling housing, courtyard apartments, "make you feel like you belong to a place." For people living around the courtyard, the space provides a sense of safety and privacy; the courtyard is a quasi-public space that mediates between the home and the street.?

??Jeff Durkin

The courtyard is only one aspect of a successful design. Rose Apartments builds on this southern California housing typology, but unlike those earlier traditional buildings, it is more idiosyncratic - creating increased security, privacy and openness, while connecting to the greater community outside the building walls. By including affordable housing for transitional aged youths, it allowed the non-developer to take advantage of California State Assembly Bill AB763 for increased height and density, increasing the project density from an area average of 12.30/DU/A to more than 110 units/acre. This much needed affordable housing provides poor and disadvantaged populations housing in an affluent area of town where low-wage workers are critical but unable to afford to live. It also contributes to much needed affordable housing stock in short supply in Los Angeles.?

? Brooks?+ Scarpa

Like many of the traditional courtyard structures before, the main exterior material at Rose Apartments is commonly used exterior cement plaster. However, at Rose walls are scalloped to give depth, relief and texture, an issue that affordable housing projects typically suffer.?

??Jeff Durkin

These walls also include surface applied sparkle grain that makes the facades shimmer as people pass by. Sunlight and bright lighting conditions make the fa?ade go soft and silver in just a few seconds.? It's a quick-moving phenomenon that bends light and casts shadows depending on the time of day.
