架构师提供的文本描述。Vanglo的房子被设计成一个真正的城市住宅，作为一个紧凑的内城填充点，在温哥华的中心位置主要街道地区。这就需要背离温哥华典型的住房类型。

Text description provided by the architects. The Vanglo house has been designed as a truly urban dwelling for a compact inner city infill site, in the centrally located Main Street area of Vancouver. This required a departure from typical Vancouver housing typologies.

设计方法的重点是适应和灵活地适应不断变化的生活条件、在减少隐私的同时获得日光、在一个小城市填充的场地上获得户外生活的机会以及从一套出租套房中赚取收入的能力。

The design approach focusses on essential qualities such as adaptability and flexibility to changing living conditions, access to daylight while mitigating privacy, access to outdoor living while being on a small urban infill site and the ability to generate income from a rental suite.

一个倒置的垂直组织提供了一个令人愉快的生活/娱乐室，放置在顶楼到树冠，使居住空间与一个门槛的自由甲板加倍。

An inverted vertical organization provides a delightful living/play/entertainment room placed on the top floor in to the tree canopy, doubling up the living space with a threshold free deck.

这种设计发展了城市住宅的社会方面，包括门廊和大型入口楼梯(门廊)。房子设置了一个强大的街道存在和正面和屋顶斜坡连接是意外的反应，直接的附例要求。它重新定义了这些参与和当代表达的各种问题，试图将城市的历史与城市的未来联系起来。

The design evolves social aspects of urban homes including the porch and large entry stair (stoop). The house is set with a strong street presence and the facade and roof slope articulation are unexpected responses to outright bylaw requirements. It redefines these various issues in engaging and contemporary expressions, attempting to link the history of the City into an urban future.

城市艺术与抽象

Urban Art and Abstraction

这座房子被设计成一种城市艺术形式。白色的折痕混凝土纤维面板统一了房屋的主体，模糊了楼层的典型表达，而屋顶和外墙则创造了一个连续的形式。窗户形成了一个抽象的表达方式，并战略性地穿透了南方的皮肤，以调节日光和隐私。

The house was designed as a form of urban art. The white creased concrete fibre panels unify the body of the house and blur typical expressions of floor levels while the roof and facade create a continuos form. The windows form an abstract expression and strategically perforate the south facing skin to mediate daylight and privacy.

可持续性和适应性

Sustainability and Adaptability

Vanglo房子的设计是为了达到最新的可持续发展标准。以前的结构已经被仔细的拆解和大量的回收利用，新的房子是能源之星兼容，有三重玻璃窗和一个高性能的信封。房子是非常紧凑的1，300 SF3BR主单元和一个500 sf1BR套房加上一个灵活的地区。适应性强的楼面平面图，跨越整个建筑宽度的清晰结构，为选择办公、家庭、娱乐或收入租赁用途提供了高度的适应性。

The Vanglo house was designed to meet the latest sustainability standards. The previous structure has been carefully deconstructed and largely recycled, the new house is energy star compliant, has triple glazed windows and a high performance envelope. The house is very compact with a 1,300 sf 3BR main unit and a 500sf 1BR suite plus a flex area. Adaptable floor plans with clear spanning structure across the entire building width allow for a high degree of adaptability for a choice of office, family, recreational or income rental uses.
