来自建筑事务所的描述：“True North”项目是由9个出租单元组成的住宅开发区，位于底特律市中心约2.5英里（约4公里）处。

Text description provided by the architects. True North is a development comprised of nine rental units and shared community gardens, located two-and-a-half miles from Downtown Detroit.

该项目由于创新的设计方式、低廉的造价，以及与社区环境的结合而受到广泛关注，同时也进一步促进了这个长期备受忽视的地区的复兴。

It has received international attention for pioneering creative affordable design attuned to both its context and community, as well as for catalyzing the redevelopment of a long-neglected area.

出于美学与经济方面的考虑，客户希望建筑师打造简易小屋的形式，并且采用预制轻型结构制作而成的圆形截面波纹镀锌钢材料。

For aesthetic and economic reasons, the client challenged EC3 to utilize Quonset Huts, a prefabricated lightweight structure consisting of corrugated galvanized steel and having a semicircular cross section.

Edwin Chan是位于洛杉矶的工作室EC3的创始人，同时也是盖里建筑事务所的合作伙伴，他说：“我们希望这个作品能够融合底特律的城市文脉和传统审美，打造出一个具有欢迎感的场所空间。”

Edwin Chan, founder of the Los Angeles-based studio EC3 and former design partner at Gehry Partners, commented: “We tried to capture the beauty of Detroit’s toughness with the raw aesthetic in its design, while creating an inviting place for the neighborhood.”

建筑整体呈现开放的形态，没有设置多余的围栏，小屋的设计主要以开放和安全为原则，同时注重视野和隐私，结合社会功能，建筑师在其中至少设置了3条通向这些建筑的社区通道。

Open to the neighborhood and without fencing, the strategic placement of the huts is driven by a need for openness and security, views and privacy, socializing and solitude, leaving the community accessible from the street via three pathways.

当人们进入社区，便可以直接来到8个不同的小屋之中，这里还有一个公共花园，30棵绿色植物，以及能够容纳8辆车的停车区域。

Once inside the community, the pathways connect visitors to the eight huts (nine units total), communal gardens, thirty trees, and eight parking spots alongside the back alley.

每座小屋的结构都设置于4英寸（约10厘米）的混凝土面板之上，面板内部设置有热辐射系统。墙体末端采用环绕着聚碳酸酯面板的定制钢结构框架，这大大提升了建筑的安全性能，也为室内提供了自然采光和一定的热辐射。

Each structure is assembled on top of a four-inch concrete slab with in-floor radiant heat, which is also the units finished floor. The end walls feature custom steel framing around polycarbonate panels that provide a higher level of security, natural light and high thermal value.

在室内设计方面，EC3建筑事务所与客户、开发商共同合作，采取了多种尺寸的单元布局，面积从475平方英尺（约44平方米）到1600平方英尺（约149平方米）不等，其中的空间布局也各具特色。大多数住宅单元还设置有厨房、浴室、储藏等基本空间。在其上方，还设计了一个夹层区域，可以用作卧室、工作或储藏空间。

For the interiors EC3 worked with the client and collaborators to develop a variety of layouts for the units – sizes ranging from 475 to 1,600 square feet – to inspire different creative lifestyles. Most of the units also feature an interior polycarbonate “island” containing a kitchen, a bathroom, and a mechanical/storage closet. Above the island, a mezzanine platform provides occupants with a flex for any use, possibly a bedroom, workspace or storage.

“True North”项目获得了“The Architect’s Newspaper”的2017年组合住宅单元的（Multi-Unit Residential Category）最佳设计奖，并且也获得了“Architect Magazine”所颁布的2017年先进建筑P/A奖。

True North recently won The Architect’s Newspaper’s 2017 Best of Design Award in the Multi-Unit Residential Category and won an honorable mention from Architect Magazine in the 2017 Progressive Architecture P/A Awards.
