架构师提供的文本描述。从阿尔伯特公园的市中心社区俯瞰卡尔加里市中心，这座古色古香的中世纪平房是一个增强居住密度的实验。“家外之家”使用了许多节省空间的策略，使现有的房子适应客户繁忙的生活方式，这样朋友、家人和同事就可以舒适地停留和访问很短的时间，这取决于他们不断变化的日程安排。主楼层、地下室和车库都经过了重新设计，并正在进行翻修，以创建三座独立和紧凑的住宅，共用一个共同的温室空间和庭院。

Text description provided by the architects. Overlooking downtown Calgary from the inner-city community of Albert Park, this quaint mid-century bungalow is an experiment in enhanced residential density. The Home Away uses a number of space-saving strategies to adapt the existing house to the client’s busy lifestyle so that friends, family, and work colleagues can comfortably stay and visit for short periods of time, depending on their ever-changing schedules. The main floor, basement, and garage have been sensitively redesigned and are in the process of being renovated to create three discrete and compact dwellings that share a common greenhouse space and courtyard.

 Axonometric View

房子南边的日光浴室被设计成一个四季温室，提供一个共享的室内/室外聚会空间，将所有三套住宅结合在一起。一个梯级甲板，与综合花园种植园主和座位提供一系列潜在的配置，以放松和娱乐。这座花园是与当地的完美主义者合作设计的，其目的是以最低限度的维护来满足客户不断变化的时间表。利用南方曝光，半透明聚碳酸酯包层允许软，漫射光淹没空间，给花园生活。斜撑格子结构，旨在模仿一个分支网络，创造了一个几何斑点的阴影。该空间的中心是一个壁炉，建在太阳浴室的入口，创造了一个小入口的烧焦雪松“小屋”，遵循日本技术的寿司班。

The solarium addition to the south of the house was designed as an all seasons greenhouse that provides a shared indoor/outdoor gathering space, uniting all three dwellings. A terraced deck, with integrated garden planters and seating presents an array of potential configurations for relaxing and entertaining. The garden, designed in collaboration with local permaculturalists, is intended to thrive with minimal maintenance to suit the shifting schedule of the client. Taking advantage of the southern exposure, the translucent polycarbonate cladding allows soft, diffuse light to flood the space and give life to the garden. The diagonally braced lattice structure, designed to mimic a network of branches, creates a geometric dappling of shadows. The space is centered around a fireplace built into the entryway of the solarium, creating a small entry “hut” of charred cedar, following the Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban.
