The Houses at 1340 are a set of three houses in North Vancouver, Canada. The project was completed in 2015 by the Office of McFarlane Biggar Architects   Designers. The unique site is located between a forested park and a quiet lane with minimal traffic.

1340年的房屋是一套三套在加拿大北温哥华。该项目于2015年由McFarlaneBiggarArchitects设计师办公室完成。独特的场地位于森林公园和安静车道之间，交通最少。

Description by OMB: Turning down a quiet cul-da-sac, the three identical homes, all clad in shades of grey, step along the sloping lot, resonating with the surrounding greenery as well as the nearby bungalows. From the street, two-vehicle carports with attached coach houses screen in an interior courtyard and create a sense of privacy on the ground floor. The massing of each home’s second level also plays with privacy. The upper level balconies are recessed within wrap-around enclosures, distinctive forms that are visible from the street, but which block out the site of the neighbours from within.

由OMB描述：拒绝一个安静的库尔-达-囊，三个完全相同的房子，都穿着灰色的阴影，沿着倾斜的地段，与周围的绿色植物以及附近的平房产生共鸣。从街道上看，两辆车，带有附加的客车房屋屏幕，在一个内部庭院，创造了一种隐私感的底层。每个家庭的第二个层次的聚集也与隐私有关。较高的阳台是在环绕的围裙内凹的，从街道上可以看到独特的形式，但它从内挡住了邻居的地盘。

The more public spaces — the living and dining areas — face south, to Vancouver’s skyline. The more private areas — the kitchen and the master suite — are nestled in the quiet of the ravine. The best of both views is experienced on the full, rooftop patio. The stair access is positioned so that it isn’t visible to the neighbours, creating the illusion of a completely flat roof. Once up top, the homeowners will enjoy an uninterrupted survey of their surroundings. Visit Office of McFarlane Biggar. Photo Ema Peter

更多的公共空间-居住和就餐区-朝南，到温哥华的天际线。更多的私人区域-厨房和主套房-坐落在幽静的峡谷里。最好的两种景观都是在完整的屋顶露台上体验。楼梯通道的位置使得邻居看不到，造成了一个完全平坦屋顶的错觉。一旦上升，房主将享受不间断的调查他们周围的环境。拜访麦克法兰·比格尔办公室。照片EMA Pete
