This renovation to a Victorian semi in Toronto’s Riverdale neighbourhood is a fine balance of restoration and the introduction of contemporary elements. The kitchen was moved from the rear of the house to the middle, with the dining room situated at the front of the house in the former parlour. The rear room was reserved for a new more casual living area with large doors opening to the yard and a new side entry and small mudroom was introduced.

在多伦多的Riverdale附近，对维多利亚半地区进行的改造是恢复和引入现代元素的一个良好平衡。厨房从房子的后部移动到中间，餐厅位于前厅的房子前面。后室是为一个新的更休闲的生活区预留的，大门通往院子，引入了一个新的侧面入口和小泥浆室。

New wide plank flooring was added throughout with a dark oiled finish giving it a more contemporary, but slightly rustic look. The owners, designers themselves, had a very good sense of how to contrast the old and new and how to achieve that fine balance. The house is long and narrow on a rather short lot and doesn’t leave much room for a backyard. Situated on a rear laneway, the owners requested a carport that could open up and double as expanded yard space.

新的宽木板地板增加了整个暗油完成，使它有一个更现代，但有点乡土的外观。业主，设计师自己，有一个非常好的意识，如何对比新旧，如何实现这种微妙的平衡。这所房子又长又窄，面积很短，没有给后院留多少空间。位于后车道上，业主要求提供一个可以打开的车库，并将其扩大为庭院空间的两倍。

The carport is a light, airy structure that doesn’t feel overly obtrusive in the rear yard. Steel frames support a series of whitewashed wood beams and purlins. The roofing consists of translucent polycarbonate panels with clear panels along the sides and front that provides full view of the sky. The result is a backyard refuge in the middle of a busy city!

这是一个轻巧，通风的结构，不会感到过于突出在后院。钢框架支持一系列粉刷木梁和弹簧管。屋顶由半透明的聚碳酸酯面板组成，两侧和前方都有清晰的面板，可以充分看到天空。结果就是在一个繁忙城市的中心，一个后院的避难所！
