这个令人兴奋的新的生活/工作项目在国王街在加拿大的哈利法克斯是自建的，因为他们得到。该项目由当地建筑师SusanFitzgerald和她的建筑合作伙伴BrainardFitzgerald创建，由家庭团队构思和建造，在一个屋檐下巧妙地包含了多个用途。它包括Fitzgeralds自己的家，他们的建筑和承包商工作室的工作空间(现场有设备储存)，以及一个单独的两层出租/工作室。

该项目分为三个集群，每一个都有自己的入口，都在一个25英尺x100英尺的地块内。这座建筑群位于地块两端的较高处，向中间的方向逐渐变低，将整体体积分解成较小的部分，以配合该地区多样的城市结构。最高的空间包括业主的工作空间和住宅，延伸到花园的背面，并延伸到较低的，租赁量跨越网站的另一端。内部安排是灵活的，因此这对夫妇的生活和工作区域可以收缩或扩大彼此，取决于他们不断变化的需求。

为了支持蔬菜和花卉的种植，在整个建筑群中创建了景观梯田。外部的关键材料-板式混凝土和波纹金属-是为了补充邻里现有的材料调色板-它们也是一个聪明的财政选择，在预算范围内运作。该地区的建筑法规更多地限制了建筑的使用，该法规要求在楼盘侧立面上尽量减少玻璃，但建筑师们的反应是，在建筑群的前后两面玩高和慷慨的开口。

室内设计同样具有创造性。孩子们的卧室既有趣又紧凑，用滑动门设计，并排放置，就像在一辆卧铺的火车里一样。一个中央庭院兼作停车位，但也成为儿童游乐区、室外工作区和花园，说明建筑师。

这座新房子和工作空间将大大增加当地社区的丰富性和多样性，它位于该市北部一个充满活力、兼收并蓄的街区-包括城市火葬场、伊斯兰发展清真寺中心(Centre For Islamic Development Mosque)、一家咖啡馆、一家印刷厂和合法大麻种植业务。
