费尔法克斯车库项目是将一个前机械师和汽车修理厂改建和加建为一个混合用途的零售和办公空间,通过探索洛杉矶混合用途区的模糊环境中的类型学。

The Fairfax garage project is the conversion and addition of a former mechanic and auto-body shop to a mixed use retail and office space through the exploration of typologies within the ambiguous setting of a Los Angeles mixed-use district.

该项目位于洛杉矶西好莱坞/费尔法克斯区,毗邻一个较小的双车道行人友好型购物区向一个较大的四车道驾驶型大道过渡。

Located in the West Hollywood/Fairfax neighborhood of Los Angeles, the site is adjacent to the transition from a smaller, two-lane pedestrian-friendly shopping district to a larger, four-lane driver-based thoroughfare.

该项目旨在通过解决这种从行人到通勤者的转变来扩大这个商业区。此外,它必须调和各种直接的背景;一个前工业建筑与新的商业租户在一个相对住宅区。

The project aims to expand this commercial district by addressing this shift from pedestrian to commuter. Additionally, it had to reconcile the variety of immediate contexts; a former industrial building with new commercial tenants in a relatively residential block.

新的铝制护墙板是对前车库金属板的致敬,但以玉绿色、整体应用和最小的细节来提升,避免了标准的闪光轮廓或暴露的排水系统。较大建筑上的两种比例的护墙板在从现有体量到新加建的过渡处发生了变化,而围绕着较小结构的穿孔镶板则保持了现有砖石建筑的可见度,为了保留不溯及既往的区划许可,需要保留现有建筑。

The new aluminum siding is a nod to the metal paneling of the former garage, but is elevated with a jade green color, monolithic application, and minimal details that avoid standard flashing profiles or exposed drainage. The two scales of siding on the larger building shift at the transition from the existing volume to the new addition, while the perforated paneling surrounding the smaller structure maintains visibility of the existing masonry building, which needed to be retained in order to preserve grandfathered zoning allowances.

倾斜的屋顶线条承认了相邻平房的规模,其中许多平房现在作为创意办公室。这个坡度也将人们的注意力引向了场地的后方,在那里,一个新的庭院为租户提供了一个共享花园。这个轮廓也隐藏了屋顶上的机械设备。

The sloping rooflines acknowledge the scale the adjacent bungalows, many of which now serve as creative offices. This pitch also directs attention to the rear of the site, where a new courtyard has a shared garden for the tenants. The profile also conceals the mechanical equipment on the roof.

新的店面参考了之前卷帘式车库门的规模和位置,二层的窗户更具有住宅的意向。楼上的租户还有一个带天窗的大型有盖户外天井,既延续了屋顶线条,又避免了增加项目的额外面积,达到了监管上限。

The new storefronts reference the scale and location of the previous roll-up garage doors, with windows on the second story that are more residential in intent. The upstairs tenant also has a large, covered outdoor patio with a skylight, which continues the roofline while avoiding adding additional square footage to the project, which was at regulatory maximum.

其他的室内装修也被保持在最小的范围内,以满足各个租户的建造需求。高和低的混合是调色板的特点,图形油毡地板和中央楼梯间的漂白软木墙。

Other interior finishes were kept minimal for individual tenant build-out. A mix of high and low characterizes the palette, with graphic linoleum flooring and bleached cork walls in the central stairwell.
