架构师提供的文本描述。多学科工作室通最近完成了一个大胆的，简约的翻新在多伦多的游泳池房子。设计为多功能，开放空间内部可以轻松地从游泳池房子到宾馆，从娱乐空间，工作演播室到活动空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Multidisciplinary studio +tongtong recently completed a bold, minimalist renovation of a pool house in Toronto. Designed to be multifunctional, the open-space interiors can easily transform from pool house to guesthouse to entertainment space to work studio to event space.

位于一座大型传统住宅的花园里，1000平方英尺的独立游泳池是本世纪中叶的遗物。但多年来，多次翻新掩盖了它的原始设计。“它的真正潜力实际上被许多不同的解释所掩盖，”校长约翰·唐说。“我想重新定义它的现代性，同时创造一个温暖、充满轻松的地方。”

Located in the garden of a large traditional house, the 1000 square-foot freestanding pool house is a relic from the mid-century era. But over the years, multiple renovations masked its original design. “Its true potential was really buried under a lot of different interpretations,” says principal John Tong. “I wanted to redefine its modernity while making a place that is warm and full of ease.”

为了强调游泳池屋世纪中叶的现代语言，通过把屋顶往前推，形成了漂浮的额头，强调了平顶。窗户被推到天花板上，使屋顶的平面更加清晰，提供阳光，同时也为客人提供隐私。以前是用石头做的，外面的覆层是用更轻更温暖的雪松板条装饰的。焦点-椭圆形水池-是重新设想的，没有通过将露台延伸到屋顶的平直度来改变它的形状。“整个成分是由这些新元素组成的，这些元素层叠在现有的基础之上，”童说。甲板铺设在泳池边缘的顶部；现有的屋顶被延伸，以创造一个新的浮架。

To emphasize the pool house’s mid-century modern language, the flat roof was accentuated by bringing the roofline forward, creating a floating brow. Windows were pushed flush to the ceiling to articulate the plane of the roof and offer sunlight while providing privacy for guests. Formerly made of stone, the exterior cladding was relined with lighter and warmer cedar slats. The focal point – the oval pool – was re-imagined without changing its shape through extending the patio parallel to the flatness of the roof. “The whole composition is made up of these new elements layered over top of the existing,” says Tong. “The deck is laid on top of the pool edge; the existing roof was extended to create a new floating shelf.”

唐的经验为酒店项目设计豪华套房和多功能空间，如新泽西的W酒店和多伦多的德雷克酒店，这使他的室内设计更有意义。进入室内，环境被设计为一个游泳池的房子，为客人的变化和淋浴，以及一个客人套房的长期停留。开放概念的房间是由一个巨大的，独立的独角兽，确定私人和公共空间。

Tong’s experience designing luxury guest suites and multifunctional spaces for hotel projects like the W Hotel in New Jersey and the Drake Hotel in Toronto informs his approach to the interior. Moving inside, the environment is designed to act as a pool house for guests changing and showering, as well as a guest suite for extended stays. The open-concept room is punctuated by a large, freestanding monolith that defines the private and public space.

在公众方面，黑色磨坊拥有IT和视听娱乐设备。这张由童设计的大桌子是用从巴拿马运河打捞出来的异国木材制成的，有一个几何的钢架底座。桌子的尺寸，14‘x3’很长，很豪华。咖啡桌可以很容易地举起来对抗高度，通过旋转腿，把空间从一个亲密的家庭空间转变为一个更大的活动空间，如宴会或工作室。明亮的橙色特色墙，它超越了私人空间和公共空间，被用作客户艺术收藏的画廊墙。

On the public side, the black millwork holds IT and audio visual entertainment equipment. The large table, designed by Tong, is made of exotic wood salvaged from the Panama Canal and features a geometric steel-frame base. The scale of the table, 14’ x 3’ is long and luxurious. The coffee table can be easily raised to counter height by rotating the legs, transforming the space from an intimate family space to a space for larger events such as dinner parties or a work studio. The bright orange feature wall, which transcends both the private and public spaces, is used as a gallery wall for the client’s art collection.

在独角兽的另一边是淋浴和厕所，两者都被充满活力的蓝色玻璃包围。“就像我们的很多作品一样，我们尝试加入有趣的元素，令人惊讶的元素”，童说。相反的墙壁特色定制墨菲床与综合侧桌和充分支持行李和储存。内置的微波炉、迷你吧和咖啡机都能为客人提供酒店体验，并配有免费的素盒。

On the other side of the monolith is a shower and toilet, both of which are enclosed with vibrant blue glass. “Like a lot of our work, we try to add playful elements, elements of surprise” says Tong. The opposing wall features a custom Murphy bed with integrated side tables and full support for luggage and storage. A built in microwave, mini-bar and coffee machine are all provided with the vision of giving guests the hotel experience complete with a complimentary munchie box.

虽然开放和易于流动是强调在空间，一些隐私是必要的。厕所有一个电子断电盲，提供充分的自由裁量权，而黑色的单体隔开私人空间与神奇的无轨悬臂滑动门。为了实现更简单的布局，在抛光混凝土和石板地板下采用地板辐射采暖。“和我们所有的项目一样，客户是我们的合作者。该程序与舒适和隐私问题一起发展并共同发展。

While openness and ease of flow is emphasized in the space, some privacy was needed. The toilet has an electronic blackout blind that offers full discretion, while the black monolith separates the private space with magically trackless cantilevering sliding doors. To achieve an even simpler layout, radiant floor heating under polished concrete and slate floor was used. “Like all our projects, the client is our collaborator. The program along with issues of comfort and privacy evolve and were developed together.

 Landscape Plan

室外和室内空间都微妙地勾勒出了它世纪中叶的现代美学，创造了一个定位简单、细节和纹理丰富的环境。“我认为现代建筑确实有那种地平线感。这是乐观的。未来是积极的。这是一个可以思考、有创意、一个人或与他人一起庆祝、安居乐业的空间。“

Both the outdoor and indoor spaces subtly riffs on its mid-century modern aesthetic, creating an environment that’s simple in its orientation and rich in details and textures. “I think that modern architecture really had that sense of horizon. It was optimistic. The future is positive. This is a space where one can reflect, be creative, celebrate alone or with others, and live with ease.”
