架构师提供的文本描述。我们一生中至少玩过一次“俄罗斯方块”的游戏。我们被几何学的魔力迷住了，我们的效率也得到了回报。对于rzlbd俄罗斯方块来说，它不仅仅是一种街区布局和快速性能的游戏，而是一种对有效设计的追求。如果一个空间设计师的结构像俄罗斯方块一样，一座建筑内几乎没有浪费的空间。当客户要求一个似乎不可能适合40英尺乘110英寸的项目时，特别是如果你试图尊重多伦多这样的城市的一个填充项目的严格分区，rzlbd决定用一个简单的规则来实践“没有剩余空间”的挑战：每英寸都是可用的。

Text description provided by the architects. We have all played the game “Tetris” at least once in our lives. We were mesmerized by the magic of geometry and rewarded by our efficiency. For rzlbd Tetris is not just a game of block arrangement and fast performance, but it is a quest of effective design. If a designer of space was as structured as Tetris blocks, there would be virtually zero wasted space within a building. When a client demanded a program that seemed impossible to fit in a 40’ by 110’ lot, specially if one tries to respect a tight zoning for an infill project in a city like Toronto, rzlbd decided to practice the challenges of “no leftover space” with a simple rule in mind: every inch is a usable inch.

这栋房子占地3000平方英尺，三层楼高，与rzlbd以前设计的4000平方英尺的房子一样，有5间卧室、6间浴室、2间洗衣房、保姆房、家庭办公室、一个大的起居/就餐区和一个宽敞的厨房、有酒窖和娱乐区的酒吧、有盖车库，当然还有很多储藏室。虽然俄罗斯方块的房子是紧凑的程序，但它设法通过整个房子的整个长度足够的自然光。从上层到地下室的透光井，通过玻璃覆盖的开口插入客厅，是一种隐形的俄罗斯方块元素，有助于将垂直的光线元素带入房屋。

The house is 3000 square feet, three-story structure that has the same program as a 4000 square feet house previously designed by rzlbd, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 laundries, nanny room, home office, a large living/dining area and a spacious kitchen, bar with a wine cellar and entertainment area, covered garage and of course lots of storage area. Although Tetris house is compact in program but it manages to channel sufficient natural light throughout the entire length of the house. The light well that penetrates from the upper floor to the basement plugging into the living room with a glass-covered opening is an invisible Tetris element that helps bring a vertical light element into the house.

为了更好的效率，55英尺长的墙在一楼充满了一个连续内置的磨坊，以适应项目的需要。它从入口处的办公室架子到客厅的厨房/餐厅橱柜和壁炉。磨坊不仅连接了这四个程序，而且还创造了大量的存储空间和干净的现代外观，以避免拥挤的平面图。互相插入的俄罗斯方块元素创造了挑战，如满足适当的高度，清空和楼梯登陆，以适当地满足地板。这些问题在每一级别上都按个别步骤仔细处理，相应于方案的变化，以便在较低的层次上有足够的高度。

For better efficiency the 55 feet long wall on ground floor is filled with a continuous built-in millwork that adapts to the needs of the programs. It transforms from the office shelving by the entry foyer, to the kitchen/dining cabinets and the fireplace in the living area. The millwork not only connects the four programs but also creates lots of storage space and a clean modern look to avoid a congested floor plan. The Tetris elements that plug into one another create challenges such as meeting appropriate height clearances and stair landings to properly meet the floors. These issues were carefully dealt with in section by individual steps on each level corresponding to the change in programs to allow for sufficient height on the lower levels.

房子的外部是一个令人惊讶的混乱不同的材料和包层，勇敢地暴露了俄罗斯方块元素的内部空间。这种大胆的曝光并不是试图创造一个和谐的外观，但它是一个有吸引力和迷人的场景，因为它显示了一个良好的俄罗斯方块游戏的几何图形。

The exterior of the house is a surprising jumble of different materials and claddings that courageously expose the Tetris elements of the interior spaces. This bold exposure is not an attempt at creating a harmonious façade, yet it is an attractive and charming scene as it displays the geometry of a well-played Tetris game.
