架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于兰辛南缘，是大多伦多地区北约克市的一个小街区。Topax House是一种简约的两层木结构，它仔细地响应了客户的需求和生活方式，同时也没有忘记它所取代的平房的基本逻辑、计划和简单性：新项目就坐落在占用该场地的一层半层平房的小脚印上。

Text description provided by the architects. THORAX HOUSE The project is located on the southern edge of Lansing, which is a small neighbourhood in the North York municipality in the Greater Toronto Area. Thorax House is a minimalist two-storey wood structure that carefully responds to the needs and lifestyle of the client while it has not forgotten the basic logic, plan and simplicity of the bungalow it replaced: the new project sits exactly on the small foot-print of the one-and-a-half storey bungalow that had occupied the site.

设计的演变是一个简单的抽取形式，一个胸腔图：一个核心两侧的两方系统。从主循环开始，楼梯和桥梁(脊柱)沿着正方形体积的中部向上延伸，所有的起居空间(肺)都对称地排列在两侧。我们可以把建筑结构和围护看作肋骨、肌肉和皮肤。位于中轴线的楼梯和桥梁，将起居室和绅士宴会从一楼的餐厅和厨房隔开，主卧室从二楼的两间客房中分离出来。

The evolution of design was a simple extraction form a thorax diagram: a two-party system on either sides of a core. Starting with the main circulation, the staircase and bridge (the spine) run up the middle of the square volume, and all the living spaces (lungs) are arranged symmetrically on both sides. One can consider the building structure and envelope as the ribs, muscles, and skin. The staircase and bridge, which sit on the central axis, divide the living room and gentleman banquette from the dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, and the master bedroom from the two guest bedrooms on the second floor.

在主地板上，餐厅面积已经提高了一步，以保持厨房岛和餐桌的高度与一个连续的表面。虽然楼梯把房子分成两部分，但人们仍然可以通过精心安排的视线看到对面。一个例子就是坐在餐厅里，看一眼客厅壁炉上方那块漂亮的石板，这个非常不寻常的大理石就是客户的私人触觉。

On the main floor the dining area has been raised one step to keep the kitchen island and the dining table at the same height as one continuous surface. Although the staircase divides the house into two, one can still see the opposite side through carefully arranged sight-lines. An example would be sitting in the dining room and getting a glance at the beautiful slab of stone above the fireplace in the living room; this very unusual marble is the client’s personal touch.

在主卧室的二楼，睡眠区一直被限制在半开放的套间和步入式壁橱之间，在那里，人们可以透过一个用自然光冲洗的双高空腔俯瞰着天空照亮的起居室，并被一棵25年前的植物的顶端侵入。业主对充足的自然照明和合理的隐私要求得到了满足，可以俯瞰后院的大窗户和三个天窗：一个在主卧室的床上，一个在双高空隙上方，最后一个在桥上方，光线穿透桥，在白天会产生令人惊讶的隐蔽性变化。

On the second floor in the master bedroom, the sleeping quarter has been confined between the semi-open ensuite and the walk-in closet where one can overlook the sky-lit living room through a double height void washed with natural light and invaded by the tip of a twenty-five-year-old plant. The owner’s request for plenty of natural illumination and reasonable amount of privacy, has been satisfied by large windows overlooking the rear yard and three skylights: one above the bed in the master bedroom, one above the double height void, and finally one above the bridge where light penetrates through the bridge and creates surprising hachure that changes during the daytime.

而不是制造一个视觉上的飞溅，这一温和的整体质量的外部是灰色灰泥。例外是两个重量轻的结构，由黑色铝作为天篷和警卫在入口。唯一的口音是专为房子设计的红色标志。

Instead of making a visual splash, the exterior of this modest monolithic mass is rendered in grey stucco. Exceptions are two light-weight structures made of black aluminum as canopy and guard at the entry. The only accent is the red signage designed specifically for the house.
