架构师提供的文本描述。巴黎街区：巴黎附件，位于47-53西黑斯廷斯街，正在从市中心过渡到加士敦，在一个64英尺的综合场地。该建筑计划概述了一座46单元的居住/工作大楼的发展，该建筑毗邻一个新的6层水平加成物，这显然是当时的一个6层遗产B废弃仓库。

Text description provided by the architects. The Paris Block:Paris Annex, which is located at 47-53 West Hastings Street, is at the transition from Downtown to Gastown on a consolidated 64 foot site. The architectural program outlined the development of a 46 unit live/ work building conjoining a new 6 storey horizontal addition that is clearly of its time to a 6 storey Heritage B abandoned warehouse.

巴黎街区与巴黎附件的整合为客户提供了一个独特的机会，使他们能够以一种完全符合金融城关于这一最具挑战性的城市社区的既定政策和目标的方式开发一片本来就不可行的地段，这些政策和目标是振兴市中心东区、保留遗产建筑，保持现有批次的细度，减少汽车使用量。

The integration of the Paris Block with the Paris Annex provided a unique opportunity for the client to develop an otherwise non -viable lot in a manner borne out of, and wholly consistent with, the stated policies and goals of the City in relation to this most challenging of urban neighborhoods, these being the revitalization of the Downtown Eastside, retention of Heritage buildings, maintaining the fine grain of existing lots and reduction in car usage.

该项目在方案和客户预算方面具有创新性，因为巴黎附件的住宅效率几乎是100%，原因是共用了核心储物柜、自行车储物柜、公共屋顶甲板和服务功能，这些功能都已改造成巴黎大厦，从而消除了在附件中建造地下室的必要性。

The project is innovative with respect to the program and the client’s budget in that the residential efficiency of the Paris Annex is nearly 100% due to the sharing of the core as well as storage lockers, bicycle lockers, common roof deck and service functions that have been retrofitted into the Paris Block, thereby removing the necessity of a basement in the Annex.

理论与设计原则

Theory and Design Principles

这个项目的重点是连续性的概念，包括物理和历史。它加强了我们的愿望，创建清晰和充满活力的社区，通过密集的孤儿遗址和关心的城市作为一个文化记忆的储存。

This project is focussed on the idea of continuity, both physical and historical. It reinforces our desire to create legible and vibrant neighborhoods through densification of orphan sites and a concern for the City as a repository of cultural memory.

从某种意义上说，我们在这个项目中产生了“第三个想法”：有了最初的建筑，有了干预，然后又有了第三个想法-新的建筑。历史和现在不仅与共同的核心和服务联系在一起，而且现代巴黎附件的入口是通过历史结构，创造了一种穿越历史的字面体验。

With this project we are, in a sense, making a ‘third idea’: there is the original building, there is the intervention and then a third idea- the new building. Not only are history and the present physically bound together with the shared core and servicing, but the entrance to the contemporary Paris Annex is through the historic structure, creating a literal experience of moving through history.

Context and Site

废弃的1907年巴黎街区在2009年被完全改造为一个零售等级的住宅项目，在重建期间，新的核心被旋转了90度，以接受新的、毗连的巴黎附件的横向增加。现时的市区情况反映了附件的设计，该建筑物在街道及行车线的第四层，以参考该地点上一幢一九四五年建筑物的规模及记忆，以及保持文物区的锯齿状特征。

The derelict 1907 Paris Block was fully rehabilitated as a residential project with retail at grade in 2009 and, during its reconstruction, the new core was rotated 90 degrees to accept the horizontal addition of the new, contiguous Paris Annex. The existing urban condition informed the design of the Annex addition with the building being set back at the fourth level on both the street and lane to reference the scale and memory of the previous 1945 building on that portion of the site, and to maintain the sawtooth character of the Heritage precinct.

在附件3层的街道正面内，有一个19呎高的零售空间，上面有两个住宅单位，反映出“住在店铺上”的历史关系，以及巴黎座的一套以巷为本的现场工作间，为区内的“眼线”带来了更大的活力。

Within the 3 storey street frontage of the Annex, there is a nineteen foot high retail space with two residential units above, reflecting the historic relationship of ‘ living over the shop’ and a lane oriented live-work suite in the Paris Block further contributes to the revitalization of the area as ‘eyes on the lane’.

在巴黎大厦303单元是由建筑师设想和执行作为一个原型的内部城市生活。拥有图书馆、书房、商业厨房、卧室/画廊和休息室，在702平方英尺内有一个12英尺的餐厅，公寓比停车位稍宽一些。作为一个艺术家的现场工作室，床折叠，把空间变成一个画廊和活动场所。该单元包含的存储空间是标准共管公寓的三倍大，包括大衣、洗衣房、他/她的衣服的壁橱，以及一个带10英尺高淋浴的豪华浴室。

Unit 303 at the Paris Block was conceived and executed by the architect as a prototype for inner city living. Holding a library, study, commercial kitchen, bedroom/gallery, and lounge with a 12’ dinning bar within 702 sq.ft., the apartment is slightly wider than a parking stall. Functioning as an artist live-work studio, the bed folds away, transforming the space into a gallery and event venue. The unit contains a volume of storage that is three times the size of a standard condominium including closets for coats, laundry, his/hers clothing, and a luxury bathroom with a 10’ high shower.

单元303是对与负担得起的城市住宅建筑有关的更大问题的重要探索。城市密集化是可持续设计的基础，而这往往是以尊严为代价的。单元303是一个解释，我们如何能够最大限度地居住在小城市空间，在当代城市的背景下。

Unit 303 is a critical exploration into the larger issues pertaining to the architecture of affordable urban dwelling. Fundamental to sustainable design is urban densification, which will often come at the cost of dignity. Unit 303 is an interpretation of how we can maximize livability in small urban spaces, within the context of the contemporary city.
