加大大 Van Horne住宅

客户希望对蒙特利尔Outremont的Van Horne大道上的一栋两层楼进行改造和扩建。一楼将用于商业用途，而二楼将有一个公寓出租，三楼将是客户的家。在现有建筑中，只有底层的混凝土结构将被保留。

The client wanted to transform and expand a two-storey building on Van Horne Avenue in Outremont, Montreal. The ground floor was to be used for commercial purposes, while the second floor would have an apartment for rent and the third floor would be the client’s home. Of the existing building, only the concrete structure of the ground floor was to be preserved.

体量

该项目采用了一系列模糊的体量。在后面，体量盒子的突出或后退，为每个单元创造了一个私人的户外露台。

Volumes

The project plays with a series of imbricated volumes. In the back, the boxes either protrude or are set back, creating a private outdoor terrace for each unit.

体量的相互作用也塑造了室内空间。 在三楼的单元中，厨房有一个很高的天花板，后面有一个大的开口通向室外露台。这种过高的高度也使得在西侧加入了一条窗带，将午后的阳光引入室内。起居室与卧室区块有明显的区别，这要归功于一个大型天窗，它打开了两个空间的屋顶。

The interplay of volumes also shapes the interior. In the third-floor unit, the kitchen has a very high ceiling, with a large opening in the back leading to an outdoor terrace. This overheight also made it possible to include a window strip on the west side to bring afternoon sunlight inside. The living room is clearly distinct from the bedroom block thanks to a large skylight that opens up the roof over both spaces.

穿孔屏风

街道立面的标志性元素是一个由穿孔铝板制成的叠加屏风，涂成白色。这个 "花边 "般的屏风覆盖了住宅楼层。从内部看，屏风就像一个隐门，保护了住户的隐私，也模糊了对面6层高的大楼的视线。傍晚时分，当室内的灯光亮起时，楼内灯火通明，像一盏盏灯笼。

The perforated screen

The signature element of the street façade is a superimposed screen made of perforated aluminum panels, painted white. This “lace-like” screen covers the residential floors. Viewed from the inside, the screen acts as a cloister, protecting the occupants’ privacy and blurring the view of the large 6-storey building across the street. In the evening, when the lights are on inside, the building lights up like a lantern.

主立面二层的凹槽形成了一个凉亭，这也是Van Horne大道上经常看到的建筑元素。凉亭里有一个安装在悬臂上的绿色屋顶，标志着公寓和牙科诊所的入口。

A recess on the second floor of the main façade creates a loggia, an architectural element often seen on Van Horne Avenue. The loggia holds a green roof installed on a cantilever, marking the entrances to the apartments and the dental clinic.
