为贫困家庭服务的温尼伯中心村住房合作社利用设计帮助振兴一个被忽视的市中心社区，并为其居民提供一个独特的环境，以激发自豪感并鼓励社区建设。

Serving underprivileged families, Winnipeg’s Centre Village housing cooperative utilizes design to help revitalize a neglected inner-city neighbourhood and to provide its residents with a unique setting that inspires pride and encourages community-building.

这块土地是一片废弃的L形土地，被划分为六栋独栋房屋。相反，该项目在六、三层楼高的街区内建立了一个由25座住宅组成的微型村庄，这将便于建造和维护。街区的布置既定义了两个公共空间，又充满了活力-一个贯穿街道的公共空间和一个共享的庭院-在整个项目中将城市编织在一起，并为居民和周边社区提供便利设施。园景庭院为孩子们提供了一个安静和受保护的玩耍场所，而新的街道是一个非正式的聚会场所。每个住宅都有自己的入口，无论是在等级上还是在外部楼梯上，从而减少了内部流通和整个建筑的大小，也促使居民相互联系和相互了解。

The site was an abandoned L-shaped lot zoned for six single-family houses. Instead, the project established a micro village of 25-dwellings within six, three-storey blocks that would be easy to build and maintain. The blocks’ arrangement both defines and animates two public spaces – a through-street and a shared courtyard – that weave the city through the project and provide amenities for residents and the surrounding neighbourhood. The landscaped courtyard offers a calm and protected place for children to play, and the new street is an informal meeting place. Each dwelling has its own entrance, either at grade or up an exterior staircase, thus reducing internal circulation and the size of the overall building, and also prompting residents to connect and get to know one another.

为了充分利用空间、材料和日光，这些单元由紧凑的8‘x12’模块和悬臂式14‘x12’模块组成，为更大的居住区域提供更广阔的视野。模块是堆叠和互锁，以创造不同的单元配置，从375平方英尺的一居室单元，875平方英尺的四卧室单位。由于每个单元的房间分布在几层楼，即使是小公寓也有大量的隐私，这是一个重要的因素，因为许多租户是多代家庭。

Designed to make the most of space, material and daylight, the units have rich and playful compositions made from compact 8'x12' modules and cantilevered 14’ x 12’ modules for larger living areas that offer broader views. The modules are stacked and interlocked to create diverse unit configurations that vary from 375 square feet for a one-bedroom unit, to 875 square feet for four-bedroom units. Since the rooms of each unit are distributed over several floors, even small apartments have plenty of privacy, which was an important factor since a number of the tenants are multi-generational families.

随着入口和窗口的所有方面的区块，没有后方的这个项目，从而改善了街道的质量，安全和保障在各个方向。此外，一个典型的住宅至少有两个侧面有八个或更多的窗户，提供充足和多样的景观，日光和交叉通风通道。深深的设置，充满活力的橙色牛仔周围的窗户调节隐私和视图的单位，给予中心村一个独特的身份在城市。随着时间的推移，该项目正在展示如何创造性的建筑可以影响城市化和积极影响社会关系。

With entries and windows positioned on all sides of the blocks, there is no rear side to this project, thus improving the street quality and safety and security in all directions. Further, a typical residence has eight or more windows on at least two sides of the building, providing ample and varied access to views, daylight and cross-ventilation. Deeply set, vibrant orange cowlings around the windows modulate privacy and views into the units, granting Centre Village a distinct identity in the city. With time the project is demonstrating how inventive architecture can influence urbanism and positively impact social relationships.

中心村的主要可持续发展措施是在指定地点的三层联排房屋类型内所达到的单位密度。然而，如果解决方案不是宜居的，或者是对空间质量的妥协，密度本身就不具有创新性。最初是六个单一的家庭房屋地段被合并，以创建25所住宅的网站，数量的单位所需的客户。人口密度翻两番有可能填满整片土地，没有共享的社区空间，没有单位的喘息空间，甚至有足够的墙壁面积供窗户使用，这会使室内和外部空间都无法居住。

The primary sustainable initiative of Centre Village is the density of units achieved within a three storey townhouse typology on the given site. Density on its own, however, is not innovative if the solution is not livable or compromises on the quality of space. What was originally six single family house lots were amalgamated to create the site for 25 homes, the number of units required by the client. Quadrupling the density had the potential to fill the entire lot, leaving no shared community space, breathing room for the units, or even enough wall area for windows which would have rendered both the interior and exterior spaces uninhabitable.

为了应对潜在的建筑质量，我们决定为厨房、次级卧室、垂直循环和卫生间设计8英尺x12‘的房间模块，并为更大的起居室和主卧室设计悬臂式14’x12‘模块。这些单元的仔细混合为个人和家庭带来了一系列的单位尺寸，并证明可以在现场建造较少的单元，而且仍然可以容纳所需数量的单元。

To combat the potential building mass we decided to design room modules consisting of 8'x12' for kitchens, secondary bedrooms, vertical circulation and washrooms, and cantilevered 14’x12’ modules for larger living areas and master bedrooms. Careful mixing of these modules resulted in a range of unit sizes for individuals and families, and proved that less mass could be built on the site and still accommodate the required number of units.

这个项目挑战并证明了我们可以设计和生活在比我们在北美已经习惯的更少的面积。加拿大的平均新居面积为2，300 S.F.，中心村的单位面积从375至875 S.F.不等。可容纳1、2、3和4间卧室，跨越三层楼。这些尺寸代表了欧洲标准的房间面积，他们已经遵循了几代人，但没有被广泛地看到在北美。通常，在加拿大，较小的单元面积只是意味着更少的卧室或洗手间，而不是更小的房间面积，随后意味着更小的生活方式。这个项目所带来的“更小”生活的挑战创造了一种更可负担得起和更可持续的选择，而不是住在郊区的单身家庭。当我们生活得更小时，我们就会消耗更少的能源，产生更少的浪费，成为更聪明、更有意识的消费者。

The project challenges and proves that we can design and live in less square footage than what we have grown accustomed to in North America. The average new home size in Canada is 2,300 s.f., with the unit sizes at Centre Village ranging from 375 - 875 s.f. and accommodating 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units across three stories. These sizes represent European standards for room areas, which they have been following for generations but are not widely seen in North America. Typically, smaller unit sizes in Canada have simply meant less bedrooms or washrooms and not specifically smaller room areas and subsequently smaller lifestyles. The challenge to live 'smaller' posed by this project creates a more affordable and substantially more sustainable alternative to the single family suburban home. When we live smaller we use less energy, generate less waste and become more intelligent and intentional consumers.
