架构师提供的文本描述。我们面临的挑战是如何设计一个位于郊区中心的当代单身家庭的住宅，就在维多利亚时代灵感丰富的房屋的海洋中。这位客户在蒙特利尔郊区索雷尔买了一块空置的地皮，以接近她的家人。她想象着一座从周围环境中脱颖而出的房子。

Text description provided by the architects. We were faced with the challenge of designing a contemporary single-family home in the middle of suburbia, amidst a sea of Victorian-inspired houses. The client purchased a vacant lot in Sorel, a suburb of Montreal, to be close to her family. She imagined a house that would stand out from its surroundings.

 Floor Plan

这座房子的形式是通过平装两根长方形的横梁，用山墙屋顶搭桥和倒角的方式创造出来的。这些倒角的切口在屋顶上，既创造了动态的角度透视和创造亲密覆盖的外部空间，如前面的入口和屏蔽的门廊。一个占地1200平方英尺的小足迹被用于一个大面积的土地上，使现存的树木不受干扰。

The form of the house was created by offsetting 2 rectangular bars in plan, bridging over them with a gable roof and chamfering the corners. These chamfered cuts in the roof both create dynamic angular perspectives and create intimate covered exterior spaces such as the front entry and the screened-in porch. A small footprint of 1200 sqft was used on a generous sized site, leaving the existing trees undisturbed.

房子的方向垂直于道路，在房子的北侧创建了一个半私人的森林花园。南面的光线是由位于房子中央的两个雄伟的天窗带来的。将两个天窗分开的黄色棱角分明的体积使光线变暖，并使其方向偏离方向。

The house was oriented perpendicular to the road, creating a semi-private wooded garden on the north side of the house. Southern light is brought in by two majestic skylights positioned at the center of the house. An angular yellow volume dividing the two skylights both warms the light, and diverts its direction.
