我们的客户希望改造和扩建蒙特利尔Outremont的Van Horne大道上的一栋两层楼。一楼将用于商业用途，在二楼我们将创建一个出租公寓，我们将增加第三层，成为我们客户的家。
Our clients wanted to transform and expand a two-storey building on Van Horne Avenue in Outremont, Montreal. The ground floor was going to be used for commercial purposes, on the second floor we would create an apartment for rent and we would add a third storey that would become our clients’ home.
他们希望有一个明亮的家，并能感受到远离繁忙的Van Horne大道的保护。在现有的建筑中，只有底层的混凝土结构被保留了下来。蒙特利尔Van Horne大道的异质性，以及其不同的建筑高度、材料、风格和年代，使我们能够提出一个在处理上很独特的项目。它参与了这个贯穿Outremont社区的水平马赛克。
They wanted a home that was bright and felt protected from the busyness of Van Horne Avenue. Of the existing building, only the concrete structure of the ground floor has been preserved. The heterogeneous nature of Van Horne Avenue in Montréal, with its variety of building heights, materiality, style and age, allowed us to present a project that is singular in its treatment. It participates in this horizontal mosaic going through the Outremont neighbourhood.
体积。该项目使用了混合的体量。在后面较安静的小巷一侧，那些堆叠的盒子要么突出，要么后退，这为每个单元创造了私人的户外露台。一个绿色的屋顶坐落在车库的顶部。每个屋顶都有一个用途。体积的相互作用也塑造了室内的环境。在三楼的单元中，厨房有一个非常高的天花板，并通过一个大的玻璃开口向后方的户外露台开放。这种过高的高度也允许通过西墙上部的开口将下午的阳光引入室内。客厅区与卧室区明显不同，这要归功于在这两个空间之间打开的一个大型天窗。
Volumes. The project plays with imbricated volumes. In the back, on the quieter lane side, those stacked boxes are either protruding or set back, which creates private outdoor terraces for each unit. A green roof sits on top of the garage volume. Each roof top has a use. The interplay of volumes also shapes the interior. In the third floor unit, the kitchen has a very high ceiling and opens to the back through a large glazed opening onto an outdoor terrace. This overheight also allows to bring the afternoon sunlight inside through an opening at the upper part of the west wall. The living room area is clearly distinct from the bedroom block thanks to a large skylight that opens up the roof between these two spaces.
穿孔的屏幕。街道立面的标志性元素是一个由白色穿孔铝板制成的叠加屏幕。这个 “像花边一样 “的屏幕覆盖了住宅楼层的体积。由不同大小的圆孔组成的穿孔图案，是通过参数化程序开发的，合并了树影的图像和预先建立的透明度比例，我们希望在窗户前获得这种透明度。
The perforated screen. The signature element of the street facade is a superimposed screen made of perforated aluminum panels, painted white. This «lace like» screen covers the volume of the residential floors. The pattern of the perforation, made of various sizes of round holes, was developed through parametric programing merging the image of a tree’s shadow and pre-establish ratios of transparency that we wanted to obtain in front of the windows.The variation in the transparency of the screen was achieved by the variation in the diameter of the openings and their density.
从内部看，这个屏风保护了居住者的隐私，模糊了对面6层高的大建筑的视线。穿孔模式过滤了进入的自然光，并创造了一天中不断变化的室内气氛。傍晚时分，当室内的灯光亮起时，建筑就像一个灯笼一样发光。主立面二楼的一个凹槽创造了一个凉亭，这是一个在范霍恩大道上经常看到的建筑元素。这个凉亭有一个绿色屋顶，安装在一个悬臂上，标志着住房单元和牙科诊所的入口。
Viewed from the inside, this screen protects the occupants’ privacy and blurs the view of the large 6-storey building across the street. The perforation pattern filters the natural light coming in and creates interior atmospheres which evolve over the day. In the evening, when the lights are on inside, the building glows like a lantern. A recess on the second floor of the main facade creates a loggia, an architectural element often seen on Van Horne Avenue. This loggia holds a green roof, installed on a cantilever, marking the entrances of the housing units and the dental clinic.
