Text description provided by the architects. The E3 House offers an interior environment that is almost monastic in its uncluttered serenity. The delineation of the volume through the multi-level concept accentuates the luxuriousness of light and space. This urban house is at once a living, creative, and gathering place designed for an inspiring family.

E3之家位于蒙特利尔非常受欢迎的让-塔隆市场附近一个繁华的街区。它是为一个对邻里有着深厚感情的家庭而设计的，父母在剧院、电影和电视工作，孩子们都是年轻人。

The E3 House is located in a bustling neighbourhood near the very popular Jean-Talon Market in Montreal. It was designed for a family with a deep attachment to the neighbourhood; the parents work in theatre, film, and television, and the children are young adults.

住宅的外部几何学是一个简单的平行线，由东侧和西侧两面大面积的开窗墙和南北两面的联排墙组成。该地段的定位启发了多层房屋的设计，使自然光穿透。这些楼层在12米高的中庭两侧错开，将房子分成前部和后部两部分；一个楼梯，顶部有天窗，连接着不同的楼层。

The exterior geometry of the residence is a simple parallelepiped defined by two largely fenestrated walls on the east and west sides and party walls to the north and south. The orientation of the lot inspired the design of a multi-level house that enables natural light to penetrate. The floors are staggered on either side of the 12-metre-high central atrium that divides the house into two volumes, front and back; a staircase, topped with a skylight, links the different levels.

位于房屋两端的大窗户和中央天窗让太阳深入室内，创造出不断变化的自然光和阴影。因此，室内环境根据时间和季节进行调节。大的木制百叶窗在每个房间的窗户前滑动，以便在黎明和日落时过滤光线。为了确保自然通风，窗户是对着彼此的，它们都是开着的，就像天窗里的窗户一样。百叶窗也保护房子不受夏季高温的影响。

The large windows situated at both ends of the house and the central skylight allow the sun to reach deep into the interior to create ever-changing plays of natural light and shadow. Thus, the interior environment modulates according to the time of day and the season. Large wooden shutters slide in front of the windows in each room to filter the light at dawn and sunset. To ensure natural ventilation, the windows are facing each other and they all open, as do those in the skylight. The shutters also protect the house from summer heat.

这座房子被称为E3，因为它是围绕着大楼的横截面组织起来的。横断面图类似于一个大写字母E，通过相交的楼梯连接到向后的E。每个起居空间和房间都在一个单独的层次上。楼梯把房子里的六个房间连接起来，最终通向一个阁楼和一个露台，可以看到标志性的皇家山。在另一边，天窗向外看绿色屋顶系统，那里将种植一小块薰衣草。

The house is called E3 because it is organized around the cross section of the building. The cross-sectional drawing resembles a capital E linked to a backward E by the intersecting staircase. Each living space and room is on a separate level. The staircase links the six rooms in the house, leading ultimately to a mezzanine studio and a terrace with a view of iconic Mount Royal. On the other side, the skylight looks out on a green roof system, where a small field of lavender will be planted.

卧室通过宽的旋转门或滑动门打开中央空间，扩大空间，允许光线进入，并创造一个深度的透视图。当门被关闭时，空间被撤回，允许隔离、隐私和沉思。

The bedrooms open onto the central space through wide pivoting or sliding doors, which expand the space, allow light to enter, and create a depth of perspectives. When the doors are closed, the space is withdrawn, allowing for isolation, privacy, and contemplation.

卷的结构是由综合的建筑元素和完成，贡献了图形和雕塑的质量的空间。中央楼梯，灯光和通风，和令人印象深刻的厨房岛都有钢铁和核桃。橱柜，衣柜和储藏空间，由枫木单板胶合板制成，垂直排列，以创造多功能，多层单面石。外面，海洋级胶合板被染成深色浓缩咖啡色，墙壁和天花板上的大壁龛标志着前后入口。该项目的项目包括一个简单的，重复的颜色材料代码：抛光混凝土，天然钢，木材和蓝色瓷砖。这些材料的相互作用创造了惊人的图形构图，类似抽象绘画。

The volume is structured by integrated architectural elements and finishes that contribute a graphical and sculptural quality to the space. The central staircase, light and airy, and the impressive kitchen island both feature steel and walnut. Cabinets, wardrobes and storage spaces, made with maple-veneer plywood, are vertically arranged to create multi- functional, multi- level monoliths. Outside, marine-grade plywood stained to a dark espresso colour lines the walls and ceilings of large alcoves to mark both front and back entrances. The project’s program includes a code of materials with simple, repetitive colours: polished concrete, natural steel, wood and blue tiles. The interplay of these materials creates stunning graphical compositions that resemble abstract paintings.
