纽约亚历山大戈林工作室完成了布朗克斯公寓，这是专为低收入租户的小工作室，包括那些曾经无家可归的人们。

俯瞰该公寓，其位于波士顿路街道，这个街道就是在五个区之一的布朗克斯街区。建筑包含90000平方英尺(8360平方米)，每平方英尺造价为330美元。

New York studio Alexander Gorlin Architects has completed a Bronx apartment block with small studios for low-income tenants, including those who were once homeless.
Called Boston Road – in reference to the street it overlooks – the  residential building is located in The Bronx, one of the five boroughs inNew York City. It encompasses 90,000 square feet (8,360 square metres) and was completed for $330 per square foot.

这栋建筑是供年收入 $18000 至 $35,280（￡13,560 和 25,578 英镑）的单身工作者长期居住的。该项目特别之处在于将以前无家可归的高成本的医疗补助计划（政府援助贫困美国居民的社会医疗保健计划）受助人作为目标人群。

建筑包含154个面积300平方英尺（28平方米）租赁单元。

The building is intended for permanent occupation by single working adults who earn between $18,000 and $35,280 per year (￡13,560 and ￡25,578). The project specifically targets formerly homeless individuals who are high-cost recipients of Medicaid assistance – a government social healthcare program that is available to impoverished US residents.
The building contains 154 rental units, all of which are studios that measure 300 square feet (28 square metres).

建筑师在12 层高的表皮 L 型结构覆盖了炭灰色砖 。为了添加视觉趣味，工作室立面放置了涂成的红色、 橙色、 黄色和蓝色的电镀铝面板。

附近街区的历史影响了立面颜色。在18世纪该场所是一个农场，归属于美国《独立宣言》的签署者之一的开发商刘易斯•莫里斯。成立于1987的纽约著名工作室Alexander Gorlin 工作室说“立面的颜色来自殖民时代，为了回忆过去的历史。”

The architect clad the 12-storey, L-shaped structure in charcoal grey brick. To add visual interest, the studio placed anodised aluminium panels on the facade that are coloured red, orange, yellow and blue.
The history of the neighbourhood influenced the colour palette. In the 1700s, the site was a farm owned by developer Lewis Morris, one of the signers of America's Declaration of Independence. "The colours of the facade are from the Colonial Era, to recall this past history," said Alexander Gorlin Architects, a noted studio in New York that was founded in 1987.

由混凝土制作的楼梯和无障碍专用斜坡引导通向大楼的正门。

同时在构思内部设计时，工作室安排"平等的私人空间和公用空间"。设施包括一个大的天井和花园、 屋顶平台、 计算机实验室和洗衣设备。建筑师还设置了健身室和自行车仓库。

Stairs and a wheelchair ramp, both made of concrete, lead to the building's front entrance.
While conceiving the interior, the studio placed "equal emphasis on private rooms and communal spaces". Amenities include a large patio and garden, a roof terrace, a computer lab and a laundry facility. The architect also incorporated a fitness room and bicycle storage.

此外，还有几个可以用于会议和支助服务业的多功能房间。

大堂设有由白色纤维板制成的波浪天花板装置。根据公司描述，设计的灵感来自曾经占据这个场所的片岩岩层。

Additionally, there are several multipurpose rooms, which can be used for meetings and support services.
The lobby features a wavy ceiling installation made of white fibreboard panels. The design was inspired by a schist rock formation that once occupied the site, according to the firm。

可持续发展是贯穿这个 $ 4700 万 （英镑 3500 万） 项目的焦点。除了一个绿色屋顶，建筑还包含高效节能的电力、 制冷和照明系统。

该公司补充说“低和非挥发性有机化合物的材料用于室内装饰，为租客提供一个健康的环境”。

Sustainability was a key concern throughout the $47 million (￡35 million) project. In addition to a green roof, the building contains electrical, cooling and lighting systems that are energy-efficient.
"Low and non-VOC content finishes are used throughout the interiors to provide a healthy environment for tenants," the firm added.

室内设计元素包括竹地板、 枫木橱柜和白色可丽耐台面。

该项目由两个非营利组织，"支持性住房"的主要供应商Breaking Ground和Services for the Underserved组织。城市机构住房保护与发展组织提供了一些资金。

Interior design features include bamboo flooring, maple kitchen cabinets and white Corian countertops.
The project was backed by two nonprofit organisations, Breaking Ground and Services for the Underserved, which are leading providers of "supportive housing". The city agency Housing Preservation & Development provided some funding, the firm said.

在纽约其他保障性住房项目包括城市的第一微公寓塔楼由nArchitects 事务所设计。这种反潮流趋势的豪华公寓大楼在都市悄然兴起。

去年，斯蒂芬 • 霍尔写道，曼哈顿的“惊人的不平等的收入已经开始影响建筑形式”，同时评论家亚伦贝斯基说曼哈顿成为一个“没有穷人的立足之地，没有地方生产，甚至连产生冲突的地方都没有”。

Other affordable housing projects in New York include the city's first micro-apartment tower designed by nArchitects. These buck the trend forluxury condominium towers that are rising across the metropolis.
Last year, Stephen Holl wrote that Manhattan's "astonishingly unequal income has begun to take architectural form" while critic Aaron Betsky said that Manhattan is becoming somewhere "there is no place for poor people, for production, or even for conflict".
