架构师提供的文本描述。大量支持Ancaster Creek的网站是一对夫妇和他们年迈的父母的代际家园。这所房子被认为是两个不同的住宅，每一个形成了一个线性条状，其中包含了一个家庭的全部程序。酒吧互相垂直，形成了一个景观庭院倒退，从街道，并堆叠在角落。

Text description provided by the architects. A wide lot backing onto Ancaster Creek is the site for an intergenerational home for a couple and their elderly parents. The house was conceived as two distinct residences, each formed into a linear bar containing the full program of a home. The bars sit perpendicular to each other, creating a landscaped courtyard setback from the street, and stack at the corner.

父母的套房位于一楼，居住和就餐空间锚定景观。套房被布置为一层无障碍公寓，增加了功能，以适应老年父母所面临的特殊挑战。其中，位置良好的排水沟和主电源开关可以缓解内存丢失带来的问题：水槽仍在运行，或者烤箱仍在开着。

The parent’s suite occupies the ground floor with the living and dining space anchoring the view. The suite is laid out as a single floor accessible apartment with added features to accommodate the specific challenges facing the ageing parents. Among them, well-located drains and a master power switch mitigate issues that have come with memory loss: a sink left running, or an oven left on.

与小溪平行运行是主要住宅。厨房固定在房子的南端。这座20英尺高的金字塔天花板以双高的体积设置，为小溪、庭院和天空提供了广阔的空间。

Running parallel to the creek is the main residence. The kitchen anchors the south end of the house. Set in a double height volume, the 20-foot-tall pyramidal ceiling creates an expansive space that opens to the creek, the courtyard, and above to the sky.

木质螺旋楼梯的宏伟姿态将客厅与二楼主套房连接起来，在原本正交的房间里创造了一个独特的时刻，并庆祝楼层间的连接。当曲率上升并成为相邻机翼的天花板时，曲率就会打开，从而产生一种针尖状的效果，从而导致父母的套房。

The grand gesture of a wood-clad spiral staircase connects the living room to the second floor master suite, creating a unique moment in the otherwise orthogonal room and celebrating the connection between floors. The curvature opens as it rises and becomes the ceiling of the adjacent wing, creating a pinwheeling effect that leads to the parents’ suite.

房子的底层是3-1/2英寸厚的当地采石场的阿尔冈金石灰石，在周边蜿蜒而行。该过程旨在突出形成这种沉积岩的压缩和分层。12“顶部的高石头-最上面的过程压缩到4”在底部。水平节理倾斜深，垂直节理填平，突出岩石的水平性。

The ground floor of the house is clad in 3-1/2” thick locally quarried Algonquin limestone which meanders around the perimeter. The coursing is designed to highlight the compression and layering that forms this sedimentary rock. 12” tall stones at the top-most course compress to 4” at the bottom. The horizontal joints are raked deep and the vertical joints are filled flush to emphasize the horizontality of the rock.

为了减少生态足迹，通过几项关键措施降低了能源消耗。最重要的是，现在有两个家庭住在一个单一家庭的土地上，在不增加建筑面积的情况下增加了密度.第二个是信封：一个高性能的玻璃系统，三层木框架窗户，平均UW=.77锚定高度绝缘的信封。地板辐射采暖可以被节省使用，只为补充一个高效率的炉子。最后，在两个平顶安装了一个37模块9.8千瓦太阳能阵列，抵消了能源消耗。与LED照明相结合，这些措施最终形成了一个低能耗家庭，它不仅舒适地坐在北方的气候中，而且在其许可年内达到了2030年挑战的目标。

To reduce the ecological footprint, energy consumption was decreased through several key moves. Most importantly, two families are now living on a single-family lot, increasing density without increasing building area. Second is the envelope: A high-performance glazing system, triple-pane wood-frame windows with an average Uw = .77 anchor the highly insulated envelope. Radiant floor heating can then be used sparingly and only to compliment a high efficiency furnace. Finally, a 37 module 9.8 kW solar array was installed across two of the flat roofs, offsetting energy consumption. Combined with LED lighting, these measures culminate in a low-energy home that not only sits comfortably in this Northern climate but met the target for the 2030 challenge in its permit year.
