架构师提供的文本描述。这所规模适中的房子位于卡尔加里优雅的埃尔顿社区，坐落在埃尔博河上，可以俯瞰市中心的天际线。业主，无论是专业人士，都想要一个阁楼般的居住空间，开放的河流和城市的看法。

Text description provided by the architects. This modestly scaled house in Calgary’s gentrifying Erlton neighborhood occupies a site on the Elbow River with sweeping views of the downtown skyline. The owners, both professionals, desired a loft-like living space, open to views of the river and city.

 Upper Level Plan

高层规划

在2013年一场毁灭性的洪水摧毁了这条街上的许多房屋后，聚集的人群对未来可能发生洪水的可能性作出了反应，将主要空间安置在二楼，远远高于100年的洪水高度。实用空间，包括两个车库，灵活的空间和洗衣房在较低的层。机械设备故意位于洪水水位之上，以便在发生另一重大事件时尽量减少修理。选择外部装饰是为了满足客户对低维护、耐久材料的需求，在一个经历了暴雨、冰雹和暴风雪以及漫长寒冷的冬天的地区。

After a devastating flood in 2013 damaged many of the houses on this street, the massing responds to the possibility of future flooding by placing the primary spaces on the second floor, well above the 100- year flood elevation. Utilitarian spaces including a two-car garage, flexible space and laundry are located on the lower level. Mechanical equipment was intentionally located above the flood level to minimize repairs should another major event occur. Exterior finishes were selected to address the clients desire for low maintenance, durable materials in an area that experiences intense rain, hail and snow storms and extended frigid winters.

上面，角体积包含生活和睡眠空间是包覆在坚固的银波纹金属和悬臂之上的坚实，矩形底座覆盖黑色纤维水泥板。屋顶向上倾斜，远离入口，向场地边缘倾斜。从屋顶的排水收集在中央槽和指向一个盆地在景观中，缓慢地分散水到周围的景观。

The upper, angular volume containing the living and sleeping spaces is clad in robust silver corrugated metal and cantilevers over a solid, rectangular base covered in black fiber-cement panels. The roof tilts upward and away from the entry toward the edges of the site. Drainage from the roof is gathered at the central trough and directed to a basin in the landscape that disperses the water slowly to the surrounding landscape.

沿埃尔顿街的东面立面是故意不透明的，有水平的狭缝窗户，可以在繁忙的街道上提供隐私。入口的标志是白色的平面延伸到房子，以框架的花园和河以外的看法。一层钢铁和白色橡木楼梯，银板覆盖，通向第二层，天花板向上倾斜，玻璃西墙弯曲，以响应弯道在埃尔博河。客厅、餐厅和厨房都朝向河流和天际线的长景。壁炉和定制的靠窗座位，书架固定在生活空间的北缘。厨房后面有一间共用的办公室和一间客房，就在这条街上。主套房位于住宅的南端，视野开阔，浴室和壁橱空间宽敞。

The east elevation along Erlton Street is deliberately opaque, with horizontal slot windows that offer privacy from the busy neighborhood street. The entry is marked by white planes that extend through the house to frame views of the garden and river beyond. A steel and white oak stair clad in silver panels leads to the second level where the ceilings slope upward and the glazed west wall curves in response to a bend in the Elbow River. Living room, dining room and kitchen are angled toward long views of the river and skyline. A fireplace and custom window seat with bookshelves anchor the northern edge of the living space. Behind the kitchen, a shared office and guest suite are located along the street. A master suite occupies the southern end of the home, with expansive views and generous bath and closet spaces.

沿着西面的立面，悬臂更明显，因为房子和甲板的角度形式漂浮在细长的钢柱上。一个水平的钢鳍延伸到窗户上方，以遮住下午的阳光。它在南边折叠，成为主套房的隐私屏幕。

Along the west elevation, the cantilever is more distinct as the angled forms of the house and deck float on slender steel columns. A horizontal steel fin extends above the windows to shade the living spaces from the afternoon sun. It folds down at the southern edge to become a privacy screen for the master suite.

规模适中，但精神大胆，埃尔博河住宅是对其河岸位置和迅速变化的城市邻里环境的直接反应。

Modest in size yet bold in spirit, the Elbow River Residence is a direct response to its riverside location and rapidly changing urban neighborhood context.
