架构师提供的文本描述。双重住宅是两个相关家庭的新家。虽然似乎是一个单一的建筑物，两个结构被放置背靠背，允许私人花园入口以及公共屋顶甲板。车库、卧室和入口设在较低层，可转换卧室/办公室可直接进入花园。在二楼，方向的重点转移到长巷，突出楼梯，景观，和可利用的光线，主要居住空间沿着这个立面。面对更私人的一面是第三间卧室，带有私人浴室。悬吊钢楼梯既是内部的焦点，也是外部的焦点。楼梯上的动感运动随着路径的弯曲和拓宽而加强，通向屋顶甲板上的集体开放空间。厨房和餐厅的结合空间以一种新颖的方式接近，有一种内置的班格和一张可容纳12个座位的定制桌子，可以很容易地转换成一个厨房岛，以获得更多的柜台空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The Dual House is a new home for two related families. While appearing to be a single building, two structures are placed back-to-back allowing for private garden entries as well as a communal roof deck. The garage, bedrooms, and entry are incorporated on the lower level, with the convertible bedroom/office having direct access to the garden.  On the second floor, the directional emphasis shifts to the long alley, highlighting the stairs, views, and available light for the main living spaces along this façade.  Facing the more private side of the building is a third bedroom with a private bath.  The suspended steel stairs are a focal point for both the interior as well as the exterior.  The animated movement along the stairs is heightened with each step as the path bends and widens leading to the collective open space on the roof deck.  The combined kitchen and dining space is approached in a novel way with a built-in banquette and a custom table that seats 12, which easily converts into a kitchen island for more counter space.

在这些双重住宅的独特方面中，当游客在建筑物中移动时，空间会在一瞥中显现出来。屋顶花园的建议可以从客厅的高水平狭缝窗口看到。主浴室和厨房共用一扇玻璃窗，玻璃窗利用借来的光线，提供好玩的剪影。悬空楼梯与其开放的踏板吸引游客独特的经验，目光接触和有利点。

Among the unique aspects of these dual homes, spaces are revealed in glimpses as the visitor moves through the building. A suggestion of the roof garden is visible through a high, horizontal slit window in the living room. The master bath and kitchen share a window of frosted glass that capitalizes on borrowed light and provides playful silhouettes. The suspended stair with its open treads engages the visitor a unique experience of eye contact and vantage points.

在对空间进行概念化时，公司特别关注家庭当前和未来可能的需求。卧室被设计成可以很容易地转换成办公室或书房空间。车库用电线连接，以便上网，以便扩大办公室。在较低的层次，前面的房间和当前的工作空间有更深的壁橱来隐藏办公室的必需品。这间壁橱也有水管连接，供未来的女婿茶室使用。即使是结构墙，也是为了将来潜在的扩展，将较低的卧室发展成一个大型的私人套房。

In conceptualizing the space the firm placed special attention to the current and possible future needs of the families. Bedrooms are designed to be easily convertible into office or den space. The garage was wired for Internet access for office expansion. On the lower level, the front room and current workspace has deeper closets to hide the office essentials. This same closet has plumbing hook-ups for a future in-law tea kitchen. Even the structural walls are placed for potential future expansion of the lower bedrooms into a large private suite.

自2001年成立以来，Dimster建筑一直致力于为设计的所有方面提供一种极简主义的方法。校长兼创始人唐·戴姆斯特(DonDimster)在当地建立了自己的公司，但来自于一套经过全球培训的技能。在德国和维也纳学习和工作时，他受到了当代大师们的启发。通过把这种影响带到自己的作品中，他成功地创造了一个安静简单的愿景。他的大量建筑项目包括住宅、画廊、餐馆、零售和商业空间。每个项目都以独特的方式进行处理，仔细考虑所提供的复杂性和机会以及客户的具体需要。除了建筑，唐对设计的热情以原始家具和艺术的形式超越了室内。

Since its founding in 2001 Dimster Architecture has focused on providing a minimalist approach to all aspects of design. Principal and founder Don Dimster established his firm locally, but draws from a globally trained skill set. Studying and working in Germany and Vienna he was inspired by great contemporary masters.   In bringing this influence to his own work, he has successfully created a vision of quiet simplicity.   The extensive portfolio of Dimster Architecture projects include residential, gallery, restaurants, retail and commercial spaces. Each project is approached in a unique way with careful thought to the complexity and opportunities provided as well as to the specific needs of the client. In addition to architecture, Don’s passion for design transcends into the interior in the form of original furniture and art.
