建在劳伦蒂亚地区雷夫多湖畔的断桥住宅，根据从水中或地面上发现的情况，显示出它的不同面貌。囊括了 “家 “的概念，这座豪华住宅帮助实现了一个人在其祖先的土地上建造最后家园的愿望。这座宽敞的住宅分为三层，是由几个相邻的房子组成的小社区的一个欢迎和聚会场所。

Built on the shore of Lake Revdor in the Laurentians, the Break Residence reveals its different faces depending on whether it is discovered from the water or the ground. Encapsulating the idea of “home,” this luxurious residence aids in fulfilling a man’s wish to build his final home on the land of his ancestors. Opening itself up over three levels, this spacious home serves as a place of welcoming and gathering for the small community formed by the few neighboring houses.

一个具有两面性的房子。这个雄心勃勃的计划加上一个特别狭窄的地段，需要在现有的房子上建造一个新的房子。

A House with two faces. The ambitious program combined with a particularly narrow lot required the construction of a new house in place of an existing one.

在街道一侧，住宅有几个交错的体量，就像一系列的岩石。倾斜的地形从街道上只露出两层，隐藏了通往另一侧湖边的花园层。雕塑般的主入口位于这些岩石般的体量之间凿出的双层天棚下。作为住宅的核心，它创造了一个温暖而诱人的环境。开口暴露了住宅的流通和聚会空间，强调了这里的欢快气氛。

在湖边，住宅表现出完全不同的个性；开放和外向。扩大的屋顶悬垂和倾斜的檐口的金色装饰，反映了下面湖水的涟漪和运动，房子似乎在风中扬起了风帆。

On the street side, the residence has several interlocking volumes resembling a series of rocks. The sloping topography reveals only two levels from the street, hiding the garden level which provides access to the lake on the other side. The sculptural main entrance lies under a double-story canopy chiseled between these rock-like volumes. Serving as the heart of the home, it creates a warm and inviting environment. The openings expose circulation and gathering spaces of the residence, emphasizing the conviviality of the place.

On the lakeside, the residence exhibits a completely different personality; open and extroverted. With its amplified roof overhangs and angled soffits’ golden accents, which reflect the ripples and movement of the lake below, the house seemingly spreads its sails into the wind.

原材料为它的美服务。当人们进入这所房子时，平静和舒适感油然而生。整天沐浴在光线中，并向湖面敞开，该住宅包括一个杰出的和沉思的特征。室内建筑中所选择的材料的矿物性质有助于这种平静。

Raw materials serve its beauty. As one enters the house, calm and comfort govern. Bathed in light throughout the day and wide open to the lake, the residence comprises a distinguished and contemplative character. The mineral nature of the selected materials within the interior architecture contributes to this peacefulness.

在住宅的中心，一堵石墙像桅杆一样矗立着，就像房子的锚定元素。它部分是空间的分隔物，部分是统一的建筑元素，它容纳了三个壁炉，统一了三个不同的楼层。这面墙同时存在于室内和室外，它采用了与檐口相同的语言，将室内和室外的特征转换。因此，这些流畅和优雅的姿态给项目带来了连贯性和力量。

At the heart of the residence, a stone wall stands like a mast, acting like an anchoring element for the house. In part a space separator, in part a unifying architectural element, it accommodates three fireplaces and unifies three different levels. Present both inside and outside, this wall adopts the same language as the soffits transposing the interior and exterior character. As such, these fluid and graceful gestures give coherence and strength to the project.

每种材料都是经过深思熟虑和精心挑选的。石英岩富有表现力的脉络让人想起水的颜色，板岩的纹理，橡木和枫木家具的温暖，枫木地板，以及加拿大西部的铁杉天花板，所有这些都促进了永恒的建筑，石头和木材的光泽是房子的基础，会变老并获得美丽。

Each material was thoughtfully and carefully selected. The expressive veining of the quartzite whose lines recall the color of water, the texture of the slate, the warmth of the oak and maple furniture, the maple flooring, and the western Canadian hemlock ceiling, all promote timeless architecture where the patina of both stone and wood are the base on which the house stands, will grow old and gain beauty.

在这里，空间和豪华都是为接待服务的。通过电梯可以进入，每层都有一个服务区，一个咖啡站和一个酒吧。此外，每个房间都有自己的浴室和阳台。住宅中还设有小型的沉思式休息室和闺房，人们可以在那里放松，享受空间的宁静和令人惊叹的景色。

Here, space and luxury are at the service of hospitality. Accessible by an elevator, each level has a service area, a coffee station, and a bar. In addition, each room has its own bathroom and balcony. The residence is punctuated with small contemplative lounges and boudoirs where one can relax, and enjoy the serenity of spaces and their breathtaking views.

就像人们抛下锚的岩石一样，该住宅是对好客、慷慨、舒适和自然之美的颂歌。

Like the rock onto which one drops an anchor, the residence is an ode to hospitality, generosity, comfort, and the beauty of nature and its elements.
