“This design provides us with all of the amenities of a house, while offering all of the conveniences of an apartment,” says Gianpiero Pugliese, Principal of Audax.

“这种设计为我们提供了一个房子的所有便利设施，同时提供了一个公寓的所有便利设施，”说，GianPieroPuriese，Audax的负责人。

One unique feature that separates The Home in Little Italy from other Audax projects is the fact that it is the home of the firm’s principal, Gianpiero Pugliese. Married with two children, Gianpiero and his wife began to look for something different from the standard Toronto house when searching for a new home to meet their growing family’s needs. Without wanting to give up their downtown lifestyles, they purchased a floor of a commercial building with the vision of converting it into a family-friendly home.

在小意大利的家和奥达克斯的其他项目的一个独特的特点是，它是公司的负责人，Gianpiero Pugliese的家。詹皮耶罗已婚，有两个孩子，他和妻子在寻找新家以满足他们日益增长的家庭需求时，开始寻找与多伦多标准房子不同的东西。不想放弃他们在市中心的生活方式，他们买了一栋商业大楼的一层楼，想把它改造成一个家庭友好型的家。

The interior layout was modeled after a New York style apartment to include all the comforts of a house, including a formal foyer, three bedrooms, two washrooms, an open-concept living, kitchen and dining room, and a generously sized laundry. Their family also enjoy direct access to their unit from the street with a private elevator.

室内布局模仿纽约风格的公寓，包括所有舒适的房子，包括正式门厅、三间卧室、两间洗手间、开放式生活、厨房和餐厅以及宽敞的洗衣房。他们的家人也可以通过私人电梯直接从街道进入他们的单位。

The interior design features a harmonious mix of modern and traditional elements. To create a warm and cozy base, they selected a herringbone wood floor and traditional door casing, trim and hardware. The traditional envelope is then layered with modern luxuries, including a sleek and contemporary-styled kitchen and modern Italian-inspired furniture. Many of the pieces used in the home are from Audax’s very own furniture collection, including the Evelyn Armchair, Vasari Dining Table, Raphael Dining Chair and the Donatello Console.

室内设计的特点是现代和传统元素的和谐结合。为了创造一个温暖和舒适的基础，他们选择了人字形木地板和传统的门框，装饰和硬件。然后，传统的信封与现代奢侈品层次分明，包括时尚和现代风格的厨房和现代意大利风格的家具。在家里使用的许多物品是来自奥达克斯自己的家具收藏，包括伊夫林安乐椅，瓦萨里餐桌，拉斐尔餐椅和多纳泰罗控制台。

A winter garden was also designed in this unit, which is an enclosed living room with operable windows on two sides. This is a unique and coveted amenity to have in the heart of the city. When the windows are opened in the summertime, the living space is converted into a covered terrace. This allows Gianpiero and his family to enjoy a private open-air space in lieu of a backyard, which can also be used year-round as indoor space.

这个单元还设计了一个冬季花园，这是一个封闭的起居室，两边都有可操作的窗户。这是一种独特的，令人垂涎的城市中心设施。当夏天窗户打开时，生活空间就变成了一个有盖的露台。这使得Gianpiero和他的家人可以享受私人的露天空间而不是后院，而后院也可以全年用作室内空间。
