架构师提供的文本描述。在安德鲁的峡谷，SMR建筑师与“想象房屋”合作，向东区社区提供40套过渡住房。圣玛格丽特圣公会(St.Margaret‘s Episcopal Church)发起了这一项目，其愿景是帮助苦苦挣扎的个人以一种实实在在的方式重新站起来-而他们的大型中心地点就是一个完美的契合点。这个团队在两年的时间里进行了合作，创建了合适的项目和合适的建筑，以适应需求和网站。今天，有20个单位和支助服务专门满足退伍军人的需要，其中大部分是残疾人，另外20个单位帮助稳定社区，为以前无家可归的个人和家庭提供服务。

Text description provided by the architects. At Andrew's Glen, SMR Architects partnered with Imagine Housing to provide 40 units of transitional housing to an Eastside community deeply in need. St. Margaret's Episcopal Church initiated the project, with a vision to help struggling individuals get back on their feet in a tangible way -- and whose large, central site was a perfect fit. The team collaborated over the course of two years to create the right program and the right building to suit the need and the site. Today, twenty units and support services are dedicated to the needs of a formerly homeless, and largely disabled, population of Veterans, while an additional twenty units help stabilize the community in providing for formerly homeless individuals and families.

该网站的设计是为了继续一个校园感觉三个既定用途：教堂，住房，和储蓄商店。新的公寓确定了街道的边缘，并建立了行人和车辆连接的所有三个用途。行人活动现在集中在一个活跃的社区空间，在教堂和公寓之间，中心的地点，并直接连接到公共交通。这种脊柱聚集使用-会议空间，洗衣房和游乐区，室内和室外-同时拥抱陡峭的山坡横跨现场。

The site is designed to continue a campus feel for the three established uses: Church, Housing, and Thrift Store. The new apartments definethe street edge, and establish both the pedestrian and vehicular connections to all three uses. Pedestrian activity is now focused on an active community space in between the church and the apartments, central to the site, and directly connected to public transportation. This spine gathers uses -- meeting spaces, laundry, and play areas, both indoors and out -- while embracing the steep hillside across the site.

外观简单而朴素，尊重更大的社区在聚集，颜色和材料。华丽斑驳的混凝土公用室墙壁，两侧明亮，欢迎门口，定义入口。一个开放的停车场面向其余三分之二的街道，并维护现有的现场停车场。一个网状的屏幕戏弄，因为它揭示和掩盖停车场的外面，而不透明的面板打破了车库柱的节奏，以及上面的单位。一个快乐的机会是从一堵可能是一堵漫长而黯淡的墙中形成的。

The exterior is simple and modest, respectful of the larger community in massing, color and materials. The richly mottled concrete common room walls, flanking the bright, welcoming doorway, define the entry. An open parking garage fronts the remaining two-thirds of the street and maintains the existing on site parking. A mesh screen teases as it reveals and masks the parking garage beyond, while opaque panels break the rhythm of the garage columns, and of the units above. An opportunity for delight is formed from what might have been a long, bleak wall.

全高度的窗户创造了一种独特的体验，设计与人体比例.这个额外的高度允许光线穿透到单位的深处，而低矮的竖井扩展和框架的领土观点。太阳立即连接到地板上，并追踪它的每日路径

Full-height windows make for a unique experience, designed in proportion with the human body. This additional height allows light to penetrate deep into the unit, while the low sills expand and frame the territorial views. The sun connects to the floor immediately, and traces its daily path -- natural light makes such a big difference in our lives through the long, dark months of the year.

室内公共房间可以俯瞰被覆盖的外部空间，这反过来又会导致向天空开放的区域。在我们的气候中，当天气变化时，能够选择适合你需要的空间是很棒的：舒适和温暖的空间；聚焦和拥抱太阳的空间；让你在避雨的同时体验寒冷、清新空气的空间。

Interior common rooms look out onto covered exterior spaces, which in turn lead to areas open to the sky. In our climate it is wonderful to be able to choose the space that suits you need as the weather changes: spaces that are cozy and warm; spaces that focus and embrace the sun; spaces that let you experience the cold, crisp air, while sheltered from the rain.
