两个由玻璃和木头制成的盒子，尺寸相似的简单体积，被添加到位于蒙特利尔Mont-Royal高原的这座房子里。一个盒子被放在屋顶上，另一个放在花园里的大枫树下。花园里的盒子是孩子们的游戏室，与室内生活空间相连，用宽大的玻璃门向庭院开放，就像花园里的一个亭子。它还覆盖着一个绿色的屋顶，从上面看，它与周围环境融为一体。
Two boxes made of glass and wood, simple volumes of similar dimensions, were added to this house in the Plateau Mont-Royal in Montréal. One box was placed on the roof and the other one in the garden under the big maple tree. The box in the garden, a playroom for the children, is connected to the interior living spaces and opens up on the courtyard with wide glass doors as a pavilion in a garden. It is also covered with a green roof that blends it in the surroundings when seen from above.
因此，底层是家庭生活的空间，是一个 “L “形，环绕着花园，在夏天成为一个额外的房间。屋顶上的盒子为父母的房间提供了庇护，就像一个为成年人准备的树屋。这是一个用木材衬托的空间，从那里我们可以看到城市和日出。屋顶上的盒子也是下面房子的采光井。
Therefore, the ground floor, the space for family life, is a ‘’L’’ shape that wraps around the garden that becomes an extra room in the summer. The box on the roof shelters the room for the parents, like a tree house for the grown-ups. It is a space lined with wood and from where we can see the city and the sunrise. That box on the roof acts also as a light well for the house below.
西边的角落完全是玻璃的，在下面的地板上开了一个口子，让自然光流进来，通过二楼的半透明的木质花架桥一直过滤到地面上。二楼，也就是卧室的楼层，是平静和通风的。
The west corner is completely glazed and an opening was made in the floor below to allow the natural light to flow in and filter all the way to the ground floor through the semi-transparent wood trellis bridge of the second floor. The second floor, the floor of the bedrooms, is calm and airy.
卧室开在木质花架制成的循环 “桥 “上，它漂浮在起居室上方，是一个充满自然光的双层高度空间，可以看到花园和绿色屋顶。由钢和木头制成的楼梯就在这个空间里。使用的材料很少，主要是涂油的黄桦木和氧化的钢。这些材料简单，成本相对较低，而且是当地的。质量而不奢华。
The bedrooms open on the circulation ‘’bridge’’ made of wood trellis that floats above the living room in a double height space filled with natural light and that offers views on the garden and the green roof. The stair, made of steel and wood, sits in that space. Few materials were used, mainly oiled yellow birch and oxidized steel. Materials that are simple, relatively low cost and local. Quality without luxury.
