通过在现有结构中增加一层第三层，业主单元变成了一个两层高的2300 sf住宅-这个大小可以与许多单一家庭住宅的大小相媲美。

By adding a third storey to the existing structure, the owners’ unit becomes a two-storey, 2300sf home – a size comparable to that of many single family dwellings.

现有的两层砖墙结构是附近许多类似的房屋之一，有一个倾斜的屋顶和一个带有台阶的前门廊。对周围环境的敏感性是设计中的一个关键考虑因素-由于客户希望在三楼有较高的天花板，因此部分体积从正面收缩，以减少其视觉影响。现有的砖块被重复使用和修复，同时用干净的长方形的体积在外墙的增加和切口。这种并列显然突出了新的自古以来，同时保持了街景的节奏。

The existing two-storey, brick structure is one of many similar houses in the neighbourhood, with a pitched roof and raised front porch with steps. Sensitivity to surrounding context is a key consideration in the design – since the Client desired high ceilings on the third floor, part of the volume is setback from the front to reduce its visual impact. Existing brick is reused and restored while articulating the additions and incisions in the façade with clean, rectangular volumes. This juxtaposition clearly highlights new from old while maintaining the cadence of the streetscape.

客户认为，建筑师指定的良好设计和高质量的最终设计，在市场评估以上的租赁套房的快速租赁中得到了更高的价值。

The Clients believe that the good design and quality finishings specified by the architect resulted in higher value – confirmed upon the quick rental of the rental suites above market appraisal.

这个项目是这条街上第一个这样的项目-把一个大小很好的原则单元和两个额外的出租单元结合在一起。该三层公寓包括一套地下室一居室单元、一层二卧室单元和一层三卧室单元，供房主使用。租户空间不得为客户的个人利益而受到损害。

This project is the first of its kind on this street – the incorporation of a well-sized principle unit with two additional rental units. The triplex comprises a basement 1-bedroom unit, a ground floor two-bedroom unit, and a two storey 3-bedroom unit for the homeowners. Tenant spaces were not to be compromised for the Clients personal benefit.

这种填充式三层建筑面临的挑战是提供充足的室外空间和最大限度地利用自然光。这些元素成功地整合到所有三个单元中，极大地增加了所有租户的舒适感。从程序上讲，业主单位的卧室和公共空间分散在两层之间，为主公共空间提供了最大限度的日光暴露。

The challenge for this infill triplex is to provide sufficient outdoor space and to maximize natural light. These elements were successfully integrated into all three units, adding tremendously to the comfort of all the tenants. Programmatically, the bedrooms and public spaces of the owners’ unit are interspersed between both levels, providing maximum exposure to daylight for the primary public spaces.

 Basement and Ground floor

地下室和底层

大型滑动玻璃门鼓励自然通风，并在视觉上将悬臂式外部露台延伸到三楼的工作室/客厅，创造一个大的、流畅的空间。牧师的窗户位于平面图的中段，用自然光清洗主套间和粉末房的特色墙壁。

Large sliding glass doors encourage natural ventilation and visually extend a cantilevered exterior terrace into the third floor studio/living room, creating one large, fluid space. Clerestory windows are located at the mid-section of the floor plan, washing the feature walls of the Master Ensuite and Powder Room with natural light.

在二楼，前面的一扇大海湾窗户最大限度地增加了光线和视野，使我们可以看到更远的开放式厨房/生活/餐饮空间。在地面上，一个优雅的树冠投影遮蔽了一系列雪松和玻璃面板，将独立的条目整合到每个单元中。天篷和材料的选择正式地结合在上面清晰的长方形卷中，为房子创造了一个独特的地址，同时也尊重了沿街相邻房屋所创造的节奏。

On the second floor, a large bay window at the front maximizes both light and view into the open kitchen/living/ dining space beyond. At the ground level, an elegant canopy projection shelters a series of cedar and glass panels that integrate the separate entries to each unit. The canopy and material choices formally tie in the crisp rectangular volumes above, creating a singular address for the house, while respecting the rhythm created by the neighbouring houses along the street.
