548 Stradbrook是一个八个单元的填充式开发项目，占据了温尼伯市奥斯本村社区的一个前兄弟会会所的位置。该项目位于一条成熟的住宅街道上，街道两旁是世纪之交的住宅、百年榆树和一座历史悠久的砖砌教堂，建筑被包裹在反光的玻璃罩中，使其与周围充满特色的环境融为一体。

548 Stradbrook is an eight unit infill development occupying the site of a former fraternity house in Winnipeg’s Osborne Village neighbourhood. Located on a mature residential street lined with turn-of-the-century homes, 100 year-old elm trees and an historic brick church, the building is wrapped in a reflective glass shroud that allows it to be camouflaged with its character-filled surroundings.

该项目以三层楼的紧凑形式回应了现有的分区后退和密度限制，包含六个两居室单位和两个三居室阁楼单位。一个8’x40’的区域包含了所有需要的出口楼梯和大部分的公共走廊。通过减少内部循环所获得的面积，为租户提供了宽敞的户外空间，包括底层天井、二层阳台以及从三层夹层进入的大型屋顶平台。

The project responds to existing zoning setbacks and density constraints with a three-storey, compact form that contains six two-bedroom flats and two three-bedroom loft units. An 8’ x 40’ band incorporates all required exit stairs and the majority of public corridors. The area gained from reduced internal circulation is given back through generous outdoor space for tenants, including ground floor patios, second floor balconies as well as a large rooftop deck accessed from the third floor mezzanine level.

548 Stradbrook的包层处理从其历史背景中获得了直接的灵感，体现了高水平的工艺和对细节的精心关注，这些都体现在邻近的遗产住宅的建设中。该设计重新诠释了传统的搭接式护墙板，采用了定制的、有光泽的玻璃反射板立面，像鱼鳞一样垂直和水平叠加在整个建筑上。钢化板遵循一个简单的网格模式，允许它们在必要的地方轻松地替代窗户。玻璃的镜面处理和微妙的角度，在白天创造了一种短暂的反射和光线的相互作用，而在晚上则将建筑变成一个发光的幻影。

548 Stradbrook’s cladding treatment draws direct inspiration from its historic context, embodying the high level of workmanship and careful attention to detail present in the construction of neighbouring heritage homes. The design reinterprets traditional lap siding with a custom, shingled glass façade of reflective panels that are overlaid like fish scales both vertically and horizontally across the entire building. The tempered panels follow a simple grid pattern that allows them to be easily substituted for windows wherever necessary. The mirror-like finish and subtle angling of the glass creates an ephemeral interplay of reflections and light during the day, and transforms the building into a glowing apparition at night.

在二楼，一个金属顶棚包裹着建筑的周边，由黑色细柱组成的柱廊支撑，轻巧地接触到下面的人行道。从功能上讲，天棚为租户界定了一个前院的天井空间和遮蔽的步行道。在美学上，天棚提供了一个稳定的对位和接地元素，以平衡上方不断变化的玻璃立面的性质。

At the second floor level, a metal canopy wraps the building’s perimeter, supported by a colonnade of thin black columns that lightly touch the sidewalk below. Functionally, the canopy defines a front yard patio space and sheltered walking path for tenants. Aesthetically, the canopy provides a stable counterpoint and grounding element to balance the ever- changing nature of the glass façade above.
