Discovering a listed historic home in Toronto, virtually intact on the interior as well as the exterior, is rare. Completed in 1892, this semi-detached red brick home on Tranby Avenue is a classic Annex Style home massed in brick and borrowing elements from the Richardson Romanesque. Over the front door, an original Birds of Tranby stained glass window that was gifted to each house on the block by the builder still hangs.
在多伦多发现一座名胜古迹,在内部和外部几乎完好无损,这是罕见的。建于1892年,这座位于特兰比大道上的半独立红砖住宅是一座经典的配楼风格的住宅,里面聚集着砖块和从理查森罗马式建筑中借来的元素。在前门上,建筑工人送给每一所房子的原来的特兰比彩色玻璃窗仍然挂着。
For a renovation initiated by a young team of developers looking to establish a portfolio of well designed, high quality and creative projects, this home was a jewel in need of careful restoration while being re-set with elements of a modern home. While it was important that the original details were meticulously maintained, it was equally critical that the modern millwork, spaces and lighting were distinct and seen as separate, as opposed to blending into the original house.
对于一个年轻的开发商团队开始的翻修,希望建立一个良好的设计,高质量和创造性的项目组合,这是一个宝石,需要仔细修复,同时被重新设置的元素,现代的家园。虽然重要的是要精心维护原有的细节,但同样重要的是,现代的磨坊、空间和照明是不同的,被看作是分开的,而不是与原来的房子混为一谈。
Every original detail that could be saved was protected and restored including plaster moldings, the figural stair railing, a paneled living room pocket door, and metal floor grilles. All the original stained glass on the front of the house was intact, although badly in need of repair. As an example of the kismet that surrounded this project, the great-grandson of the original glass artist who created the Birds of Tranby windows took pride in restoring all the leaded glass in the house. Even the original decorative hardware was cleaned and reinstalled, allowing transom windows to operate, and original keys to work again in their locks.
每一个原本可以保存的细节都得到了保护和修复,包括石膏模型、具象楼梯栏杆、一扇镶有镶板的起居室口袋门和金属地板格栅。房子前面的所有原始彩色玻璃都完好无损,尽管急需修理。作为围绕这个项目的亲吻的一个例子,最初的玻璃艺术家的曾孙,他创造了特兰比窗户的鸟,为修复房子里所有的铅玻璃而感到自豪。即使是原来的装饰硬件也被清洗和重新安装,允许横梁窗户操作,原始钥匙重新在他们的锁中工作。
Where new pieces were added to the house, the design approach was to make them modern and distinct. Oak millwork lightly washed with a grey stain slips behind a molded corner into a space that previously served as a back-of-house walkway to the kitchen. The original kitchen was removed and replaced with a light filled space that opens to the original Dining Room and to the rear yard. A second floor sun room addition was removed and an exterior deck that conformed to the original plans was rebuilt with modern details.
当新的作品被添加到房子里时,设计的方法就是使它们变得现代而独特。橡木磨坊在模制的角落后面轻轻地洗过一层灰色的污渍,进入以前用作厨房后座走廊的空间。原来的厨房被移除,取而代之的是一个充满光线的空间,打开原来的餐厅和后院。第二层的太阳房被移除,一个符合原计划的外部甲板被重建了现代细节。
Finding a balance between the traditional and the modern allows both aspects of this house to come through equally strong. In a city with a dwindling supply of historic properties, the idea was to develop a project that would last another 100 years.
在传统和现代之间找到一个平衡,使得这座房子的两个方面都同样强大。在一个历史房产供应日益减少的城市,这个想法是开发一个能再持续100年的项目。
