架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是对一栋建于1924年的建筑中一套底层公寓的彻底改造，该公寓位于魁北克市的蒙特肯社区。客户是一个年轻的家庭，他们决定把底层改造成他们的主要住所。该空间被改造，使其通风，明亮和更多的功能。生活区是由东向西穿过建筑物的一个大的线性区域。现在光更自由地流动。在拆卸工程中，一堵砖墙被视为需要保留和加强的一项感兴趣的内容。在另一端，还保留了一堵由原始木板组成的墙，为卧室提供一丝温暖。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is a complete remodelling of a ground floor apartment in a building dating back to 1924, located in Quebec City’s Montcalm neighbourhood. The clients, a young family, decided to convert the ground floor into their main residence. The space was remodeled to make it airy, bright and more functional. The living areas are spread out through a large linear area crossing the building from east to west. Now the light flows in more freely. During the demolition work, a brick common wall was seen as an element of interest to be kept and enhanced. At the other extremity, a wall of original wooden boards was also kept to provide a touch of warmth to the bedrooms.

 Ground Floor Plan

这种木头也被重复使用在洗手间柜台上。这个房间的地板上覆盖着一层漆过的混凝土。墙壁上覆盖着巨大的、闪闪发亮的白色瓷砖。这种材料的组合给小洗手间一个和平，永恒的感觉，是非常优雅的。大厅的地板也使用了混凝土面板。地板上的一条透明玻璃条在入口处创造了门槛。门周围的几个纹路被保留下来，以提醒人们注意这个地区的殖民特征。安装了天然桦木地板，以收回无法保存的原地板。增加了钢铁元素，以腾出空间，打开后立面。

This wood was also reused for the washroom counter. The floor in this room is covered with a panel of varnished concrete. The walls are covered in large, shiny, white ceramic tiles. This combination of materials gives the small washroom a peaceful, timeless feel, and is very elegant. A concrete panel is also used for the hall floor. An opalescent glass strip in the floor creates the threshold at the entrance. A few of the mouldings around the doors were retained as a reminder of the neighbourhood’s colonial character. Natural birch flooring was installed to recall the original floor that could not be preserved. Steel elements were added to free up space and open up the rear façade.

钢，砖和木材是暴露和自然的，以提供颜色。一个投影仪屏幕被插入客厅天花板。在另一端，铝窗给人一种朝向户外的深度感，使这个区域看起来更大。厨房的布局很简单。虽然有光泽的白色中密度纤维板和石英台面并不显眼，但它们柔和地反射光线，使其他原材料脱颖而出。新的庭院被用作半封闭的内院子.带有开放式设计的栅栏在过滤胡同噪音的同时提供了一些隐私。每个房间的精确性，细致的设计细节和新的户外区域为这个魁北克市家庭创造了一个非常舒适的城市环境。(鼓掌)

Steel, brick and wood are exposed and left natural, to provide colour. A projector screen is recessed into the living room ceiling. At the other end, an aluminum window gives a sense of depth toward the outdoors, making the area look larger. The kitchen layout is very simple. While the glossy white MDF and quartz countertops are not imposing, they softly reflect the light, allowing the other raw materials to stand out. The new patio is used as a semi-enclosed inner yard. A fence with an openwork design provides some privacy while filtering the noise from the alley. The precision of each room, the meticulous design details and the new outdoor area create a very comfortable urban environment for this Québec City family.
