Located in Toronto’s Little Italy neighbourhood, Grace House is a full renovation and addition to a house from the 1890s creating a connected and light-filled home for a young family with a segregated second suite at the lowest level.

位于多伦多的小意大利社区，格雷斯豪斯是一个全面的翻新和一所房子从19世纪90年代以来，创造了一个连接和光明的家，一个年轻的家庭与一个隔离的第二套房在最低层。

Three distinct service pods organize and anchor the kitchen, dining and living areas and form a filter to the main entry. Overlooking the street from a counter related window, the kitchen is located at the front of the house. The living room opens directly onto the garden through a new rear portico, with the dining room nestled between them. Bedrooms are arranged around a breakout space on the second floor, which can change function as the family grows and changes. Located on the third floor, the family room accesses a large roof terrace with views to the downtown core. The front porch was reduced in length defining an open court and stairwell as a discreet, yet generous entry for the lowest level second suite.

三个不同的服务舱组织并锚定厨房、餐饮和生活区，并在主要入口形成过滤器。从与柜台相关的窗户看，厨房位于房子前面。客厅通过一个新的后部港口直接通往花园，餐厅嵌套在它们之间。卧室布置在二层的分段空间周围，可以随着家庭的增长和变化而改变功能。家庭房间位于三层，可进入一个大型屋顶平台，可以看到市中心的核心。前廊的长度减少了，将开放的庭院和楼梯井定义为最低级套房的谨慎而慷慨的进入。

Two offset double height openings straddle the second floor breakout area bringing light and active connection between the three levels of the home. The second washroom and breakout area borrow light from across an opening between the ground and second levels. The new staircase to the third floor is edged with a slatted wall and has multiple facing windows that lend morning and evening light to the second floor. Colour changes in light are registered in this space as the sun moves through the course of the day.

两个偏置双高度开口跨二层的突破区，带来轻和积极的连接之间的三个层次的家庭。第二个洗手间和突破区从地面和第二层之间的一个开口处借用光线。通往三楼的新楼梯边有一堵板条墙，多扇面向窗户，为二楼提供晨光和晚光。当太阳在一天的过程中移动时，光的颜色变化就会在这个空间中被记录下来。

The Ground floor is finished with white oak flooring and panels with white panel millwork and is anchored by black slate in the kitchen and the hearth at opposite ends. The palette simplifies vertically where the third floor family room is reduced to all white surfaces, revealing the rich complexity of the roof geometry, layered slat walls and multiple sources of daylight.

一楼是用白橡木地板和白板磨坊完成的，在厨房和壁炉两端用黑色石板固定。该调色板垂直简化了三楼家庭房间的所有白色表面，揭示了丰富的复杂性屋顶几何，分层板墙和多种来源的日光。

The front elevation is modestly updated yet relates to the neighbourhood context. The original red brick is countered with black stained wood elements while thin white elements are utilized as tracings outlining distinct features. White becomes the dominant element on the rear facade through the use of cement board, aluminum slats and articulated with cedar siding that frames views to the internal living spaces and the original brick house beyond. The new portico is mirrored across the garden in the new garage creating continuity across the site. All flat roofs are designed and planted as green roofs to connect adjacent interior spaces to the garden below.

前面的标高是适度更新的，但与邻里环境有关。最初的红砖与黑色染色的木材元素相抗衡，而薄的白色元素则被用作勾勒不同特征的示踪物。白色成为后正面的主导元素，使用水泥板，铝板和与雪松壁板铰接，框架内居住空间和原来的砖房外的看法。在新车库的花园里，新的门廊被镜像成镜子，创造了整个场地的连续性。所有的平屋顶都设计成绿色屋顶，将相邻的室内空间与下面的花园连接起来。
