架构师提供的文本描述。竖井之家是一个意想不到的，令人兴奋的空间体验，在我们的普通生活空间的极限中幸存下来。两层半层的独立住宅重新评估了狭窄建筑内的功能安排，同时创造了明亮和通风的空间。可承受性是建筑在设计过程中通过整合深思熟虑的低成本策略而成功拥有的一种价值；从购买大约20英尺宽的少量材料到选择可持续和成本效益高的材料。

Text description provided by the architects. The Shaft House is an unexpected and exciting spatial experience that survives the limits of our ordinary living spaces. The two and a half storey detached house reevaluates functional arrangements within a narrow building while creating bright and airy spaces. Affordability is a value that the building successfully owns by integrating well thought low-cost strategies in the design process; from purchasing a modest lot of about 20 feet wide to choosing sustainable and cost efficient materials.

铝墙板、未经处理的木材和可回收的生锈钢不仅有助于降低设计成本，而且还试图通过随着房屋老化而改变颜色来说明建筑物的有机行为。

Aluminum siding, untreated wood and recyclable rusted steel for the exterior of the house not only help reduce the costs of the design but t also tried to make a statement on organic behaviors of buildings by changing color while aging along with the house.

竖井房产生没有墙壁的空间。流通和服务围绕着一种叫做“竖井”的虚空光。两边的地板都可以俯瞰彼此，让光线和视线在房子的深处移动。楼梯在中央竖井周围循环，通过改变水平使房间在空间中出现。水平已被改变的部分，结果是一个天篷面向街道，和一个向南的甲板在屋顶上。

The Shaft House generates spaces without walls. Circulation and services surround a void of light that is called “The Shaft”. Floors on either side overlook each other allowing light and sight to travel deep inside the house. The staircase circulates around the central shaft and cause rooms to emerge in space by changing levels. The levels have been shifted in section resulting in a canopy facing the street, and a south facing deck on the rooftop.

虽然在多伦多，竖井房的建造成本几乎和现成的标准住宅设计一样便宜，但对于这个社区，或许对城市中的许多其他社区来说，这都是一个惊喜。但工作室rzlbd的愿望，改变面貌的多伦多，创造创新和负担得起的设计，是一个目标，成功地代表了。

While the construction cost of the shaft house is almost as affordable as a ready-made design set of standard housings in Toronto, it is yet a surprise for the neighborhood and perhaps for many other neighborhoods in the city. But atelier rzlbd’s aspiration towards changing the face of Toronto by creating innovative and affordable designs is a goal that Shaft House successfully represents.
