一座建筑就像一堆书,它的比例和大小与我们的人体一样,由水平平台组成,天花板高度一致。Stack House是一个三层楼加一个地下室的高大结构,它是水平体量的俏皮表达,这些体量被堆叠在一起,相互悬臂。
A building is like a pile of books, which, being scaled and sized to our human body, is composed of horizontal platforms with consistent ceiling heights. A tall structure of three stories plus a basement, Stack House is a playful expression of horizontal volumes, which are stacked on top of and cantilevered from each other.



堆栈由三个 "块 "组成。较低的区块,包含公共项目,用灰泥装饰。中间的区块包含过渡性项目,如夹层的多功能厅,是用烧焦的木材装饰的。上层建筑包含最私密的项目,如主卧室和套房,用金属板装饰。
The stack is composed of three “blocks”. The lower block, containing the public programs, is finished in stucco. The middle block, containing the transitional programs, such as the multi-purpose room on the mezzanine level, is finished in charred wood. The upper block, containing the most private programs, such as the master bedroom and ensuite, is finished in metal paneling.

在使用灰泥、木材和金属来象征这三个区块的同时,整体的深灰色实现了它们之间微妙的区别,创造了一个纪念性和私密性的矛盾形象。贯穿所有这些街区的是四层高的楼梯,周围有不同的光轴,从天窗一直延伸到地下室。不同楼层的房间在中心位置与这个极端的垂直空隙相邻,要么关闭以进行分离,要么打开以进行组合。
While using stucco, wood, and metal to symbolize the three blocks, the overall dark gray color achieves subtlety in their differentiation, creating a contradictory image of monumentality and intimacy. Penetrating all these blocks is the quadruple-height staircase with diverse light shafts around it, traveling from the skylights all the way down to the basement. Rooms on different levels abut this extreme vertical void at the center, are either closed to be separated or opened to be combined.

位于一楼和二楼之间的多功能厅,是下面客厅的对角线延伸,也是二楼三间卧室共享的独特聚会空间。从客厅出发,这条对角线的视线一直延伸到地下室的透明酒窖和特色花园。与外部清晰的街区划分不同,内部是一个围绕楼梯的垂直迷宫,在身体、眼睛或心灵上产生一种持续的运动,贯穿整个房屋的堆叠。
Located between the ground floor and the second floor, the multi-purpose room is a diagonal extension of the living room below and across as well as a distinct gathering space shared by the three bedrooms on the second floor. From the living room, this diagonal sightline continues to the transparent wine cellar and the feature garden in the basement. Unlike the clear delineation of the blocks on the exterior, the interior is a vertical labyrinth around the staircase, generating a constant motion either in body, eye, or mind, throughout the entire stack of the house.



这座房子位于多伦多的森林山社区,其堆叠的外形与周围的环境相得益彰,其带有倾斜屋顶的面孔同时也是在挑衅。同时,单调、黑暗的存在唤起了一种纪念碑式的感觉,暗示着内部更多的流动和未定义的空间界限。
Located in the Forest Hill neighborhood in Toronto, the stacked profile of the house is well scaled to the surrounding, its face with a pitched roof blending and provoking at the same time. Simultaneously, the monotonous, dark presence evokes a sense of monumentality, hinting at more fluid and undefined spatial boundaries inside.

在遵守所有法规的同时,该住宅拒绝了城市中大多数(住宅)建筑的同质化概念,提出了另一种类型;它创造了一种非正统的形式,重新获得了建筑空间的自由性质,同时保持和戏剧化了统一内部和外部复杂性的空间秩序。
While complying with all the regulations, the house rejects the homogenous conception of the majority of (residential) architecture in the city, suggesting an alternative typology; it creates an unorthodox form that reclaims the free nature of an architectural space while maintaining and dramatizing the spatial order that unifies the interior and exterior complexity.
