Project Name: Galley House – Victorian era home extension Architecture - Interiors: Reigo - Bauer Design Team: Stephen Bauer, Merike Bauer, Fabian Grieco Structural Engineer: Blackwell Construction: JH Reynolds Contracting Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Area: 2,150 sf ( 200 m2) Completion: 2018 Photography: Tom Arban
Located in Toronto’s Roncesvalles neighbourhood, the Galley house challenges conventional notions typical of a semi-detached, Victorian era home, by providing a new rear entry hub, internal connectivity, and abundant natural light within a two-storey volume addition.

The client’s desire was to convert their home into a more livable and beautiful space that would suit their family’s lifestyle. Merike Bauer, a founding partner of the firm along with Stephen Bauer, explains “We approached that brief by reconsidering two primary elements: the pattern of circulation into the house and access to natural light.”

A key feature in the project speaks to Reigo - Bauer’s ongoing studies of daylighting all parts of a home. Above the dining room, the subtle tilt of the east facing upper wall, and a cut-away in the second floor, permits the large window above to act as a skylight, flooding the centrally located dining area below with natural light, whilst connecting the upper and lower levels–– an unexpected condition in Toronto’s Victorian era homes. Courtesy of slight offsets and subtle sculptural design elements, the natural light reflects off smooth, curved matte white walls throughout, while the upper floor benefits from the newly expanded views afforded by the tilt of the wall - window.
Only freestanding volumes of wall divide spaces on the main level, providing a sense of inter-connectivity throughout the project. Unconventionally, the back of the main level has been given over to a dropped oversized landing, connecting main level, grade and basement. Serving as the primary entry hub to the home, an open concept mud room is tucked in beside the stairwell, where Reigo - Bauer used diamond mesh railings to discretely obscure the coat storage from the main floor space, without obstructing outside views. The extra three feet of height gained from the dropped level has provided the main floor with expanded views to the backyard through floor to ceiling glass.
只有独立的墙壁体积划分空间的主要水平,提供了一种相互连接的感觉,整个项目。非常规情况下,主层的后部被转移到一个超大型落地上,连接主层、等级和地下室。作为家庭的主要入口枢纽,一个开放的概念泥浆房被塞在楼梯井的旁边,在那里戈。
In addition to addressing core elements of the home’s internal redesign, the partners’ use of innovative materials and architectural design elements ensure the addition’s external façade both contrasts and compliments its neighbouring environment. “At its widest point, the house is only 20 feet across, which narrows to 16 feet for the extension at the back,” explains Stephen Bauer. “Given those parameters, we put a lot of thought into architectural elements that would not only achieve a modern look for the extension, but would also capture sunlight efficiently while mitigating shadows and reflections cast on and from neighbouring spaces.” For the exterior cladding, Reigo - Bauer sought a contemporary complement to the traditional brick façades of the existing home and its surroundings, opting for a unit-based cladding that would serve the same principal, but in the form of black and white diamond-shaped metal tiles. The two-tone cladding effectively distinguishes the volumes as stacked layers, rather than giving the impression of a single overarching façade. The upper and lower volumes are distinguished not only by the contrasting colours, but very subtly by their geometry. A slight 10º degree slope of the upper side window wall is echoed below in a surprising variance from square in the side and rear walls; the offset reinforcing the reading of two stacked volumes.
除了解决住宅内部重新设计的核心要素外,合作伙伴使用创新材料和建筑设计要素确保了加设的外部外观对比和赞扬其周边环境。斯蒂芬·鲍尔解释说:“在最宽的地方,房子只有20英尺宽,后面的延伸范围缩小到16英尺。”“考虑到这些参数,我们对建筑元素进行了大量的思考,这些元素不仅能实现现代建筑的外观,而且还能有效地捕捉阳光,同时减轻周围空间的阴影和反射。”对于外包层,Reigo
