该项目位于Plateau Mont-Royal的中心,靠近Sir Wilfred-Laurier公园,包括半独立式单户住宅的扩建和全面翻新。

Located in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal, near Sir Wilfred-Laurier Park, the project consists in the expansion and the complete renovation of the semi-detached single-family house.

该项目体现了该家庭创造一个真正的 “家庭茧房 “的意图,在这里,功能齐全的空间向外开放,使所有的公共房间都有漫射的自然光。 因此,这个项目的雄心是为这个年轻的家庭住宅带来欢快、温暖和光明,但也带来了俏皮的感觉。

The project translates the intention of the family to create a real « family cocoon », where the functional and hearty space is open to the outside, giving rise to diffuse natural light in all the common rooms. Thus, the ambition of the project is to bring conviviality, warmth, and light but also a playful touch to this young family house.

通过这种方式,在双层空间中添加的砖块使房子的两个主要房间,即餐厅和上面的书房之间有了联系,同时标明了后者的重要性;这是家庭聚会的地方。

In this way, the brick added to the double-height space allows to make the link between the two main rooms of the house, the dining room and the den up above, while marking the importance of the latter; places where the family gathers.

一个中央楼梯用白漆钢弦和枫木台阶将所有三层楼连接起来。再加上房子的双层高度和不同房间的玻璃开口,它成为一个真正有趣和充满活力的家庭空间。

A central staircase with white-painted steel stringers and maple steps connects all 3 floors together. Coupled with the double height and its glazed openings in the house’s different rooms, it becomes a truly playful and dynamic space for the family.

事实上,房子被安排在三个不同的层面上;底层是生活空间,二层是孩子们的空间,以及夹层,它构成了房子的垂直延伸,为父母保留。

Indeed, the house is organized on three distinct levels; the ground floor with the living spaces, the second-floor level for the children as well as the mezzanine, which constitutes the vertical extension of the house, reserved for the parents.

在花园一侧,从绿色的小巷中可以看到明亮的黄色油漆外墙,这就是这个家庭的形象:充满活力和色彩斑斓。此外,房子的内部也点缀着这种相同色调的装饰。此外,第二层的悬挑使后门面的建筑和形式表现更加突出。后者一方面可以保护露台,另一方面可以通过相邻的外墙之间的偏移游戏来创造深度,这对于居民的隐私来说是不可忽视的。

On the garden side, the bright yellow painted facade visible from the green alley is the image of the family: dynamic and colorful. Moreover, the interior of the house is punctuated with touches of this same tonality. Also, the overhang of the second level dramatizes the architectural and formal expression of the back facade. The latter allows, on the one hand, to protect the terrace and on the other to create depth through a play of offsets between the adjoining facades not negligible for the privacy of its residents.
