随着第二个孩子的到来，客户决定在蒙特利尔的Outremont区购买一栋新的2层半独立屋。因此，这个有两个孩子的年轻家庭希望对这栋1930年代的都铎风格的房子进行全面翻修。位于4250平方英尺的土地上，房子的面积为每层1250平方英尺。最初是按传统的空间划分来规划的，这栋冗长的房子有一系列封闭的房间，限制了自然光的进入。
Following the arrival of a 2nd child, the clients decided to acquire a new 2-story semi-detached house in the borough of Outremont, in Montreal. The young family of 2 children, therefore, wishes to undertake a complete renovation of this Tudor-style house dating from the 1930s. Located on a 4250 square foot lot, the area of the house is 1250 square feet per floor. Originally planned on a traditional subdivision of the space, the lengthy house has a series of closed rooms limiting the entry of natural light.
由于其外墙缺乏保温层，出于节能的考虑，决定在房子的周边建造新的保温隔断。结合客户的新需求，这导致了对许多室内分区的重要重新配置。最重要的是，客户希望对现有的空间进行分解，以创造出从房子前面到后面的视觉开口，从而引入自然光。在底层，引入了两条带有圆角的走廊，以创造一个从房子前面到后面的强大视觉链接。
Lacking insulation in its exterior walls, it was decided for energy-saving reasons to build new insulated partitions around the perimeter of the house. Combined with new needs from the clients, this resulted in an important reconfiguration of many interior divisions. Above all, the clients wished to decompartmentalize the existing spaces in order to create visual openings from the front to the back of the house to bring in natural light. On the ground floor, two corridors modulated with rounded corners are introduced to create a strong visual link from the front to the rear of the house.
在中央楼梯和家庭浴室上方也插入了新的天窗，这两个空间位于房子的中心，原来的日光很有限。此外，在楼梯间和父母浴室之间的墙壁上插入了一块喷砂玻璃板，以引入额外的天顶光线。在一楼，我们发现生活区的厨房和餐厅位于花园一侧，而客厅则按原计划位于街道一侧。二楼重新设计了3间卧室和两个浴室，其中一间为父母的卧室。
New skylights are also inserted above the central staircase and the family bathroom, two spaces located in the heart of the house with originally limited daylight. In addition, a panel of sandblasted glass is inserted in the wall separating the stairwell from the parent’s bathroom to let in additional zenithal light. On the ground floor, we find the living areas with the kitchen and dining room on the garden side and the living room on the street side as originally planned. The second floor has been redesigned with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which serves the parents’ bedroom.
原有的带有 “跳舞台阶 “的楼梯的配置被保留下来，成为项目的亮点，其周边的墙壁用新的石膏曲线进行修复。应用于楼梯重新设计的形式处理反映在整个项目的建筑干预中，并暗指已经严重老化的原始手工灰泥。因此，弯曲的隔断、拱形的天花板都是正式的姿态，为项目的空间序列注入了某种流动性，并诱发了一种光亮的柔和性。
The configuration of the original staircase with “dancing steps” is retained to become the highlight of the project with its perimeter walls restored with new plaster curves. The formal treatment applied to the redesign of the staircase is reflected in the architectural intervention of the whole project and alludes to the original artisanal stucco which has aged badly. Thus, the curved partitions, the vaulted ceilings are all formal gestures that infuse the project with a certain fluidity in the sequence of spaces and induce a luminous softness.
为了在一个古老的建筑中融入当代的干预，空间的几何形状与极简主义的细节和有限的材料调色板相结合；墙壁和天花板上的白色涂漆石膏，涂油的枫木地板，内置家具的枫木贴面，精致的扶手，以及墙壁和地板的白色和灰色陶瓷。
Wishing to integrate a contemporary intervention within an ancient construction, the geometry of the spaces is coupled with minimalist details and a limited palette of materials; white painted plaster on the walls and ceilings, oiled maple floor, maple veneer for the built-in furniture, delicate handrail and white and gray ceramic for the walls and floors.
通过对楼梯及其 “舞动的台阶 “的保护、对旧铅窗的修复、空间的顺序以及对承重墙的保护，最终在房屋的原始配置和新布局之间保持了建筑对话。最后，为了给新住户提供一个舒适和刺激的生活环境，一个被岁月磨损的1930年代的资产阶级房屋被赋予了新的生命。
An architectural dialogue is ultimately maintained between the original configuration of the house and its new layout through; the conservation of the staircase and its “dancing steps”, the restoration of the old leaded windows, the sequence of the spaces, and the conservation of the load-bearing walls. In the end, with the desire to provide its new occupants with a comfortable and stimulating living environment to live in, a new life is given to a 1930s bourgeois house worn by the years.
