架构师提供的文本描述。对面的房子，是一个委托私人住宅位于斯卡伯勒布拉夫，更接近大多伦多地区的东边。这对专业夫妇在家里工作，享受着活跃的家庭娱乐生活。他们正在寻找一套现代住宅，如果他们的家庭在以后成长，他们可以提供他们可能需要的一切，甚至更多的空间，包括足够的过渡空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The Opposite House, is a commissioned private residence located on the Scarborough Bluffs, closer to the east edge of the Greater Toronto Area. The clients, a professional couple who both work from home and enjoy an active home entertainment lifestyle, were looking for a modern dwelling that would offer everything they might need and more, including enough space to transition into, if their family grows at a later time.

新建筑部分位于老平房的脚印上，靠近一条安静的后街，一处2.7英亩的地块倾斜到安大略湖的岸边。在北街一侧，这座房子呈现出一种故意低而暗砖的轮廓-只有一层单独的、不显眼的146英尺长的层(相当于空客a 321客机的长度，这是有史以来最高效的单过道客机)；它伸展的机身-146英尺(146英尺)-允许从各个角度，甚至在地产的北端，都能看到畅通无阻的湖景。在南部湖畔，房子的脸张开成一堵10英尺高的幕墙，白茫茫的。这座房子的内部面积为6400平方英尺，虽然体积很大，但它的规模感觉相当人性化，这是空间精确几何解析的结果，建筑师称之为“数学诗”。

The new build sits partly on an old bungalow’s footprint, close to a quiet back-street, with a 2.7 acre site sloping down to the shore of Lake Ontario. To the northern street side, the house presents a purposely low, dark-brick profile – just a single, unobtrusive 146-foot long storey [equal to the length of an Airbus A321, the most efficient single-aisle jetliner ever built]; its stretched fuselage – measuring 146 feet], allowing  for an unimpeded lake view from all points even in the north end of the property. To the southern lakefront, the home’s face opens into a 10-foot curtain wall, lozenged in white. The house’s interior is 6,400 sq-ft; though massive in size, it feels quite human in scale, the result of the space’s precise geometric parsing, something the architect refers to as “mathematical poetry.”

无论是在外面还是在里面，对面的房子都是既熟悉又不同的，壮观而舒适的，私人的和公开的-以微妙的并列方式呈现一项研究。这里有两个概念在起作用：路易卡恩的“仆人和服务”格言，其中的私人，后台的功能放在一边，平衡的公共放松的另一边；和植物的“光”性质，它们仍然根植在地球上，而它们的头在阳光下绽放-这里解释为用黑色的纹理砖包裹着的北面，以及用明亮的玻璃和光滑的白色灰泥呈现的南侧。

Both outside and in, the Opposite House is at once familiar yet different, spectacular yet comfortable, private as well as public – presenting a study in subtly rendered juxtapositions. Two concepts are at work here: Louis Kahn’s “servant and served” maxim, wherein private, back-of-the-house functions are placed on one side, balanced by public relaxation on the other; and the “phototropic” nature of plants, which remain rooted in the earth while their heads blossom towards the sun – interpreted here as a north side wrapped in dark-black, textured brick and a south side presented in bright glass and smooth white stucco.

对面的房子的主大厅形成了一个中央的内殿，像一个脊柱一样，东西，沿着房子的整个长度，两端用超大的窗户围起来。门厅有49平方英尺的天窗，是一个南北交叉的通道，与这条主线相交，并通过体育场的楼梯下降到较低的层。当客人想要娱乐时，客人可以在阿格拉座位上休息，或者欣赏掉下的20英尺高的双层幕墙上的景色，或者在下垂的电影屏幕上观看表演。中央大厅和南北通道将建筑项目划分为四个主要区域：1-车库、泥巴房和储藏室，2-带套房的客房、3套家庭办公室/次级卧室、浴室设施和4-主卧室、厨房、餐厅和生活区。

The main hall of the Opposite House forms a central nave that runs like a spine, east-west, along the home’s entire length, bracketed at either end by outsized windows. The foyer, with its 49-square-foot skylight, acts as a north-south transept, intersecting this main line, and descending via a stadium-stairway to the lower level. When the clients wish to entertain, guests can lounge on the agora seating and either admire the view from a dropped 20-foot double-height curtain wall or watch a show on the roll-down movie screen. The central nave and the north-south transept divide the building program into four main zones: 1- the garage, mudroom and storage, 2- a guest-room with an en-suite, 3- home offices/secondary bedrooms, bathroom facilities, and 4- the master bedroom, kitchen, dining, and living areas.
