架构师提供的文本描述。当这个项目开始的时候，这座有105年历史的房子坐落在一片狭小的25英尺宽的土地上，一直是一个没有暖气的、被忽视的老年居住者的住所。它到处都是老鼠，几乎是侧翻。新业主在一家房地产开放的街道上遇见了达西琼斯，当时他正考虑把它作为新的办公场所买下来。修复房子的费用似乎太高了，所以达西拒绝了对房产的出价。几天后，新主人通过网络找到了他，并问他的办公室是否能使房子现代化。建筑师卷起袖子，吃了他们的话，然后开始工作。

Text description provided by the architects. When the project started, this 105-year old house on a narrow 25’ wide lot had been an unheated and neglected shelter for an elderly occupant.   It was overrun with rats and was almost tipping over sideways. The new owners met D’Arcy Jones on the street at a real estate open-house, when he was considering buying it as a new of office for his practice.  The cost to restore the house seemed too high, so D’Arcy declined to make an offer on the property.  A few days later the new owners tracked him down via the web, and asked if his office could modernize the house. The architects rolled up their sleeves, ate their words, and got to work.

地下室的楼层降低了，变成了一个新的居住、就餐、厨房和入口处。浇筑了一个新的加热混凝土板，以抵消在地面上建造房屋的主要居住空间的寒意。通过暴露现有的地板托梁，主层是一个原始和简单的空间，从这个狭窄的房子下面雕刻。卧室、浴室、储藏室和公用空间位于第二层和阁楼。腐朽的外墙只在需要的情况下才被更换，在前面和后面有一扇新的2层高的前窗和后窗，以取代腐朽最严重的墙壁。

The basement floor was lowered, becoming a new living, dining, kitchen and entry area. A new heated concrete slab was poured, to offset the chill of having the main living spaces of the house built on the ground. By exposing the existing floor joists, the main level is a raw and simple space, carved from under this narrow house. Bedrooms, bathrooms, storage and utility spaces are on the second and attic level. Rotted exterior walls were replaced only where required, with a new 2-storey tall raked window on the front and back replacing the walls that had the most decay.

所有新的室内橱柜，扶手和配件都是白色的，以创造一个永恒的背景与现有房子的质朴对比。现有的外部灰泥修补和修复，然后漆成黑色。就像一部在彩色和黑白胶片之间切换的电影，这次翻新的最小外观夸大了这个工人阶级东温哥华社区的纹理颜色。现有房屋的轮廓和聚集被完全保留下来，保持了现存房屋的建筑历史的活力。

All new interior cabinets, handrails and fittings are white, to create a timeless backdrop in contrast with the rusticity of the existing house. The existing exterior stucco was patched and repaired, then painted black. Like a film that switches between colour and black / white footage, the minimal exterior of this renovation exaggerates the colours of textures of this working class East Vancouver neighbourhood. The silhouette and massing of the existing house was completely retained, keeping the architectural history of the existing house alive.

在前面和后面的沉井种植了新的本地植物，特别适合城市林荫下一棵巨大的枫树的树荫。下沉后梯田与新的较低层的地板高度，创造了一个私人避难所，将成为一个绿色茧，因为景观成熟。

The sunken wells at the front and back were planted with new native plants, species uniquely suited to the shade of a massive maple tree in the city boulevard. Sinking the rear terrace to be flush with the new lower level’s floor height created a private refuge that will become a green cocoon as the landscape matures.

产品描述。在第二层和阁楼上安装了新的道格拉斯杉木胶合板地板，与现有的道格拉斯杉木地板托梁的木材相匹配。通过材料的连续性，1911年和2016年之间的区别被故意模糊了。

Product Description. New Douglas Fir plywood floors were installed on the second and attic levels, to match the wood of the existing house’s old Douglas Fir floor joists.  Through material continuity, the distinction between 1911 and 2016 is intentionally blurred.
