圣莫尼卡温室是在洛杉矶与仙人掌店合作设计的第三个温室。它位于Bergamont车站附近，位于一个正在被改造成零售和办公区的大型工业综合体内。

The Santa Monica Greenhouse is the third greenhouse designed in collaboration with the Cactus Store in Los Angeles. Located adjacent to the Bergamont Station train stop, it is situated within a large industrial complex being converted to a retail and office district.

该项目与客户的办公楼相连，位于一个前仓库内，并容纳了他们的私人标本和大型仙人掌和多肉植物收藏。它是该建筑的几个增建部分之一，每个部分都容纳了不同的工匠、雕塑家或制造者，他们经常与他们合作。

The project is connected to the client’s office building, located in a former warehouse, and houses their private specimen and large-scale cactus and succulent collection. It is one of several additions to the building, each housing a different artisan, sculptor, or fabricator with whom they frequently collaborate.

为了保持现有的出口路径，温室的封闭体积位于办公室入口门之间。其结果是一系列大小不一的 “温室”，被安置在一个单一的屋顶下。这些舱室的每个内部立面都有两套可操作的推拉门，允许连接或分离空间的无尽衔接。这也提供了更多的流通机会，关闭时严格垂直于办公室，打开时沿着两条路径纵向穿行。这种实/虚、透明/不透明的游戏被屋顶进一步加强，屋顶在种植区上方有半透明的面板，而在通道上方有实心的钢。

To maintain existing egress paths, the enclosed volumes of the greenhouse are located between the office entry doors. The result is a series of “terrariums” of varying sizes, housed under a singular roof. These pods have two sets of operable, sliding doors on each internal facade, allowing for an endless articulation of connected or separated spaces. This also provides an expanded number of circulation opportunities as well, traversing strictly perpendicular to the office when closed up, or longitudinally along two paths when open. This play on solid/void, transparent/opaque is further reinforced by the roof, which has translucent panels above the planted areas, and solid steel above the pathways.

温室面向外部的立面设计为有色的双层聚碳酸酯，根据一天中的不同时间和视角，提供动态的反射、颜色和不透明度。该项目的立面尺寸是围绕这些板材的尺寸来确定的，以减少劳动力成本，并在有限的预算内工作。在室内面使用了未经处理的钢网，以使透明度和气流通过该项目，主要结构是3英寸和1.5英寸的原始钢管的组合，以保持所有结构和滑块在一条线上。随着时间的推移，钢会生锈，与聚碳酸酯板的色调相融合，并创造出更多的整体性外观。

The exterior-facing facades of the greenhouse are designed with a tinted, double-walled polycarbonate that provides a dynamic range of reflections, colors, and opacity depending on the time of day and angle of view. The elevational dimensions of the project were based around the size of these sheets to reduce labor costs and work within a restrictive budget. An untreated steel mesh is used at the interior faces to allow transparency and airflow through the project, and the main structure is a combination of 3” and 1.5” raw steel tubes to keep all structures and sliders within a single line. Over time, the steel will rust, blending it with the tint of the polycarbonate panels, and creating a more monolithic appearance.
