Compass Residences by Starr Whitehouse

Starr Whitehouse: 拥有41000平方英尺的户外空间，Compass住宅的初始阶段提供了一个独特的机会去创造一次穿越当地生态区的旅程。为了迎接这一挑战，Starr Whitehouse的设计师们为这个场地建造了两个庭院，两个庭院分为高档和超结构两种情况。庭院从街道向上倾斜，保存并重新整合了现场挖掘出来的大型天然巨石，铺设了一系列与该地区岩石地形相呼应的棱角分明的路径。内庭院中喜欢荫凉的林地种植和露台上更开阔的高地空地增加了旅行的感觉，唤起了曾经环绕这些露头的高草地和深峡谷，并将新城区与其自然历史融为一体。

Starr Whitehouse: With 41,000 SF of outdoor space, the initial phase of the Compass Residences presents a unique opportunity to create a journey through local Bronx ecologies. Taking up this challenge, Starr Whitehouse designers created two courtyards for the site, both split between at-grade and over-structure conditions. Sloping up from the street, the courtyards preserve and re-integrate the large, natural boulders that were excavated at the site, tracing a network of angular paths that echo the area’s rocky topography. Shade-loving woodland plantings in the inner courtyard and a more open, upland clearing at the through-block terrace add to the sense of journey, evoking the high meadows and deep glens that once surrounded these outcroppings and integrating the new urban neighborhood with its natural history.
