Drivelines Studios是一座住宅楼，位于南非约翰尼斯堡的Maboneng。这片地区刚刚经历了城市化更新，该项目为后种族隔离世代提供了新的城市生活模型，旨在吸引人们重新回到城市之中。

Drivelines Studios is a residential building in Johannesburg, SA. Located in Maboneng, an area of recent urban transformation and renewal, it responds to the post-apartheid generation’s desire to repopulate the city’s downtown through new models of urban living.

为了回应三角形的地块，项目被设计成了两栋沿街住宅，在东部转角处相连，中间形成室外社交庭院。建筑的沿街面与地块边线齐平，庭院通过楼梯间连接。电梯和连桥连通了所有楼层，开放的流线鼓励住户走出房间，到室外空间活动。

Embracing the triangular geometry of the site, the building is conceived as a billboard where two separate volumes of residential units are hinged at the narrow east end of the lot, framing the social space of the open interior courtyard. As in a billboard, the building outer facades are straight and flush with the lot line while the facades in the inner courtyard are articulated by the staircases, the elevator tower and the bridges connecting all levels, and by the open circulation paths activated by the units spillover onto their outdoor space.
