貧民區住宅信托基金開發的獲得LEED白金認證的星公寓位于洛杉磯市中心，由一棟原有的一層商業建筑改造而來，現為一座多功能大樓，共有102間公寓供曾經流浪街頭的人們居住。建筑坐落在第六街和楓葉大道之上，位于貧民區的邊緣。該項目在原建筑中增加了社區公共空間，并在一層之上增加住宅層，從而通過改造增加了原一層建筑的容積率，并因此成為了城市化生活的新典范。

多功能住宅的典范

共8 826m2的這一6層建筑，成為了貧民區住宅信托基金在位于市中心的建筑中導入新型的共享空間來提供長期住宅服務的新典范。建筑由3個上下層疊的主要空間區域組成——一層臨街的零售店區域、二層的社區公共區域，以及其上4層錯落的居住區域。

預制裝配和可持續性

該建筑不僅在一棟特定的建筑中綜合了商店、社區服務設施、社區娛樂設施和住宅單元，還在建設中采用了革新性的新建造方法。因為項目資金有限，時間又很緊，設計團隊決定采用將預制模塊凌駕于既有建筑之上的方法來使建造上的誤差更小，從而保證建設的質量，并大大縮短建設時間，同時也實現成本的節約。星公寓是洛杉磯第一座采用這種建造方式的復合單元式公寓。此外，這種新方法通過工廠預制而實現了節能，因而讓該項目獲得了LEED住宅示范工程的白金認證。□（司馬蕾譯）

The new LEED Platinum Star Apartments for the Skid Row Housing Trust transforms an existing onestory commercial building in downtown Los Angeles into a mixed-used complex with 102 apartments for formerly homeless individuals. Located at 6th Street and Maple Avenue along the border of Skid Row, the project sets a new model for urbanism and increased density by remodeling an existing 1-story building and adding new community spaces and residential levels above.

A Mixed-Use Model for Living

The six-story, 95,000 sf building expands upon the Skid Row Housing Trust's model of providing permanent supportive housing within the downtown core by incorporating a new type of shared public space within the building. The building is organized around three principal spatial zones stacked one upon the other: a retail zone at street level; a second level for community programs; and four terraced floors of residences above.

Prefabrication & Sustainability

Not only is the integration of retail, social services, community recreational facilities and residential units a unique building program, but the project utilizes an innovative new construction methodology. Faced with a limited budget and tight schedule the design team determined that prefabricated modules lifted into place over the existing podium would ensure a higher quality of construction, meet tighter construction tolerances,and dramatically accelerate construction time,producing a parallel reduction in cost. Star Apartments will be the first multi-unit residential project employing this construction method in Los Angeles. Additionally, this innovative approach will enable the project to be certified Platinum as a LEED for Homes Pilot Project, with factory fabrication ensuring compliance with energy savings.□
