架构师提供的文本描述。一种简单、经济、小的(1，440平方英尺)为两个城市居民，加里和卡罗尔·里奇提供的一间卧室式的退休之家，反映了那些想要在养老院里有明显不同的想法的人的愿望。加里是一名退休的建筑总监，所以他实际上是用手工建造的，一直到橱柜，还有一些当地雇来的帮手。卡罗尔是麦克马斯特大学家庭卫生系的退休管理员，我们以前和她一起做过一个诊所的设计。他们买了一片树林，可以俯瞰著名的爱德华王子县西北角的洛里斯特公园大道上的神仙运河。

Text description provided by the architects. A simple, economical, and small (1,440 sq.ft.) one bedroom retirement home in the country for two city dwellers, Gary, and Carol Ridge, reflects the aspirations of out of the box thinkers who wanted something decidedly different in a retirement home. Gary is a retired construction superintendent, so he literally built most of it by hand, right down to the cabinets, with some locally hired helpers. Carol is a retired administrator from the McMaster University Family Health Department, and we previously worked with her on a clinic design. They purchased a wooded lot overlooking the Consecon Canal along the Loyalist Parkway in the northwest corner of popular Prince Edward County.

有一间卧室，一个浴缸和两个登楼，有很多忙的业余爱好（他在邮票、历史和葡萄酒中，而她进入了缝纫、阅读等）。).中央客厅/餐厅/厨房空间是房子的核心，北方和南方都有很大的窗户，在前面和后面的树林里都能看到运河的宽敞明亮的光线和景色。该房屋是一种简单、经济的木框架箱，具有倾斜的面，使其形成动力。

There is one bedroom, one bath and two dens for their many busy hobbies (he’s into stamps, history, and wine, while she’s into quilting, reading, etc.). A central living/dining/kitchen space is the heart of the house, with large windows to both the north and south for generous light and views of the canal in front and woods behind. The house is a simple, economical wood frame box, with sloping faces to make the forms dynamic.

简单经济的黑色瓦楞纸金属包覆在房子上，并置在平镀锌瓦楞纸包层上的演播室塔。黑色壁板可以让房子像驼鹿和熊一样消失在树林里，而不是太突出。重音金属装饰增加了深度，并与明亮，高光泽汽车油漆，以敬意车主的痴迷于1970年代的肌肉汽车。山脊实际上是出去买了一辆橙色的汽车来匹配房子！

The simple and economical black corrugated metal cladding on the house, juxtaposed against the plain galvanized corrugated cladding for the studio tower. The black siding allows the house to fade back into the woods as moose and bear do, instead of being too prominent. Accent metal trims add depth and are painted with bright, high gloss automotive paint in homage to the Owners’ obsession with 1970s muscle cars. The Ridges actually went out and bought an orange car to match the house!

房子被抬高，浮在桥墩上，漂浮在每年春天洪水泛滥的地点的下游，这样就可以看到前面运河的水景。前门有一条过道，前面的草坪很大一部分是薰衣草花园。一个单独的车库/车间(石灰绿色口音)和一个单独的“港湾”室外门廊/客厅(紫色口音)连接在一个两层的共享工作室空间(生的半瓦卢姆)为他们的艺术项目。

The house is raised and floats on piers over the lower part of the site that floods each spring, allowing for water views of the canal out front. There is a bridge walkway to the front door and much of the front lawn is a lavender garden. A separate garage/workshop (lime green accents) and a separate ‘Haven’ outdoor porch/living room (purple accents) are attached to a two-story shared Studio space (raw galvalume) for their art projects.

在传统的欧洲农场的启发下，这些建筑被组合成一个庭院，以创造一种场所感。内饰简单、干净、细致。客厅里的三维木质重音墙为电子和媒体提供了隐藏的存储空间。悬挑岛模仿外部房屋的概念。简单、廉价的材料和紧凑的盒子，都是通过深思熟虑的设计策略来颠覆规范，让这不是你典型的退休生活。

The buildings are grouped to create a courtyard, inspired by traditional European farms, in order to create a sense of place on the site. The interiors are simple, clean and crisply detailed. A 3-dimensional wood accent wall in the living room provides hidden storage for electronics and media. The cantilevered island mimics the exterior house concept. Simple, inexpensive materials and a compact box, all brought to life by thoughtful design strategies to subvert the norm, make this not your typical retirement dwelling.
