房地产开发商Carmel Partners授予SurfacedDesign对其豪华公寓项目工作室外部生活空间的创造性控制权，该工作室由建筑公司Solomon Cordwell Buenz设计。
Real estate developer Carmel Partners awarded Surfacedesign creative control of the outside living spaces at its luxury apartment project Atelier, designed by architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz.

Taking inspiration from the building’s proximity to the former Los Angeles Garment District, Surfacedesign’s overall approach was influenced by the Bauhaus textile patterns of Anni Albers.

Geometrical lines and shapes are repeated throughout the 33-story project’s two outdoor living spaces: pool/amenity deck and rooftop lounge.

Surfacedesign injected the textile inspiration into the composition, stitching together the hardscape with a rich landscape of native and Mediterranean plantings.

Atelier’s 5th-floor pool area serves as its primary communal space.

For the landscape, Surfacedesign’s palette uses a combination of silver ground covers, agaves, and acacias with pops of color: reds, oranges, and yellows.

The silver ground covers reference the glassy/steel materiality of the urban Los Angeles skyline.

The red, orange, and yellow bougainvillea, aloes, and succulents are familiar Southern California favorites and warmly ground the project in its downtown Los Angeles context.

这些植物还为甲板上的许多便利设施提供了一些荫凉和私密感：室外烧烤区、狗道、bocce足球场和游戏露台、25米长的游泳池和水疗中心、室外壁炉和壁炉、小屋和吊床花园。工作室户外生活项目的顶部是一个屋顶休息室，可以看到洛杉矶市中心的全景。
The plantings also provide some shade and a sense of privacy for the deck’s many amenities: outdoor grilling areas, a dog run, a bocce ball court and game terrace, a 25-meter lap pool and spa, an outdoor firepit and fireplace, cabañas, and a hammock garden. The Atelier outdoor-living project was capped by a rooftop lounge with sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles.
