ADHOC Architects team is proud to present the recently completed project “La Géode”, carried out in cooperation with the young promoters of Knightsbridge. The project is located on “de la Roche” Street, in the neighbourhood of Le Plateau Mont-Royal, a vibrant district with an exceptional urban vitality. In the light of its situation, the project aims to give a new breath to its plot with a contemporary residential building of five housing units. It should intend to reflect all the energy of this strategic sector where young professionals mix with families and couples. Thus, the project has to be a soft densification that fits into the current urban landscape without distorting it. One of the concerns is to keep families in the city by creating a quality living environment based on a green strategy.

特设建筑师小组自豪地介绍了最近完成的“La Géode”项目，该项目是与骑士桥的年轻促进者合作实施的。该项目位于“de la roche”街附近的勒高原蒙-皇家，一个充满活力的地区，具有非凡的城市活力。根据其情况，该项目的目的是给它的情节一个新的呼吸，一个当代的住宅建筑，由五个住房单位。它应反映这一战略部门的全部精力，在这个部门中，年轻的专业人员与家庭和夫妇混在一起。因此，该项目必须是一个软密集化，符合目前的城市景观，而不扭曲它。其中之一是通过在绿色战略的基础上创造一个高质量的生活环境来让家庭留在城市。

To meet these challenges, ADHOC Architects have devised a new typology on the plot by constructing both the street and the alley. By doing so, a central space is created and instantly reveals a new potential. The free space given by this new inner courtyard creates a living and organic place which strengthens the bond between private and public spaces, reflecting an innovative way of thinking.

为了迎接这些挑战，ADHOC建筑师设计了一种新的地块类型，既建造了街道，又建造了小巷。通过这样做，一个中心空间被创造出来，并立即揭示了一个新的潜力。这个新的内部庭院提供的自由空间创造了一个生活和有机的地方，它加强了私人空间和公共空间之间的联系，反映了一种创新的思维方式。

A narrative spin has nourished the inspiration of the project while supporting the architectural concept that valued an open central heart and a peripheral organization. This concept is inspired by the geode; a hollowed mineral mass which interior is covered by crystals. The geode, under an austere and protective external appearance, conceals a true crystalline treasure. It reveals a natural form of staging that stimulates inspiration around the notion of contrast. This concept is exploited through the project at different levels. The exterior of the building is very sober, characterized by a modest materiality. The headers in the brick layer and the openwork masonry in front of the windows and loggias reflect the mineral roughness and protective aspect of the geode. The inner courtyard reflects its crystalline and blazing materiality.

叙事的旋转滋养了项目的灵感，同时支持了重视开放的中心和外围组织的建筑概念。这一概念的灵感来源于地球；一种内部由晶体覆盖的空心矿体。地形图，在一个朴素和保护性的外表下，隐藏了一个真正的水晶宝藏。它揭示了一种自然形式的分期，激发灵感周围的概念对比。这一概念在不同级别的项目中得到了利用。这座建筑的外表非常朴素，以适度的物质为特征。砖层中的标头和窗前的开敞式砌体反映了地质体的矿物粗糙度和防护性。里面的庭院反映了它的水晶和炽热的物质性。

As an architectural innovation, the project supports the creation of a new place, enhancing its integration within the context. By preferring densification, the project acts as a linking point and the new typology created supports the urbanity of the neighbourhood. The ambition of creating an inner courtyard by using the space of the pre-existing alley induces a complete reversal of Montreal’s traditional typology characterized by dark dwellings of excessive length. Thanks to the central opening, the living spaces are bathed with natural light. This new spatial organization eliminates the notion of the passageway, generating fluidity and optimized housing spaces. The mezzanine on the facade allows the light to penetrate the courtyard while harmonizing the height of the building with its neighbour. The exterior spaces in the front take form of private loggias that preserve the intimacy of the residents while participating to the animation of the street.

作为一种架构创新，该项目支持创建一个新地方，增强其在上下文中的集成。该项目更倾向于密集化，作为一个连接点，新的类型学支持社区的城市化。利用既有小巷的空间来创造一个内部庭院的野心，完全颠覆了蒙特利尔的传统类型，其特征是长度过长的黑暗住所。由于中央的开放，生活空间沐浴着自然的光。这种新的空间组织消除了通道的概念，产生流动性和优化的住房空间。立面上的阁楼允许光线穿透庭院，同时与邻居协调建筑的高度。正面的外部空间采取私人日志的形式，在参与街道动画的同时，保留了居民之间的亲密关系。

In addition, the viability of the project depends on our ability to invest in the basement. Coupled with the obligation to align the ground floor with neighbouring buildings, this constraint prompted us to rethink the basement from a qualitative point of view. The space dug under the window well becomes a singular space channelling natural light to the rooms of the basement. It also creates an external relaxation area with vegetation. Furthermore, glass floors were installed between the ground floor and the basement to ensure maximum light distribution. The courtyard then became an urban oasis for the inhabitants. Finally, the exterior coating of this pleasant living space consists of shining triangular metallic tiles. Their white and shimmering colours arranged towards the lower floors blend with the sky and propose a changing, sparkling and crystalline materiality.

此外，该项目的可行性取决于我们是否有能力投资于地下室。加上有义务使底层与邻近的建筑物保持一致，这一限制促使我们从质量的角度重新考虑地下室。在窗户下挖出的空间变成了一个独特的空间，把自然光输送到地下室的房间里。它还创造了一个外部松弛区与植被。此外，在底层和地下室之间安装了玻璃地板，以确保最大限度的光分布。这个院子后来变成了居民们的城市绿洲。最后，这一宜人的居住空间的外部涂料由闪闪发光的三角形金属瓷砖组成。他们的白色和闪闪发光的颜色排列在较低的楼层与天空融合，并提出了一个变化，闪闪发光和水晶的重要性。

A green strategy and high energy performance support the project’s ambitions for innovation. As a result, “La Géode” is expected to become the first multi-unit building to achieve LEED v4 certification in Canada. The inner courtyard allows abundant openings, guaranteeing maximum natural illumination as well as a cross ventilation of the dwellings. The use of energy-efficient materials and equipment is an essential part of the strategy put in place. In addition, the acoustic performance of the building exceeds good practice.

绿色战略和高能源绩效支持了该项目的创新雄心。因此，“La Géode”有望成为加拿大第一座获得LEED v4认证的多单元建筑。内部庭院允许充足的开口，保证最大限度的自然光照以及住宅的交叉通风。使用节能材料和设备是实施战略的重要组成部分。此外，建筑物的声学性能超过良好做法。

The abundant presence of vegetation is also part of the green strategy put in place. This construction evokes a mineral/vegetal coexistence that can be found in nature. The inner courtyard, the spaces under the copings, the roof and all interstices become suitable surfaces for shrub, climbing species and tree planting. Thus, the vegetation conquers the floor and the walls of the inner courtyard, making it a peaceful haven.

丰富的植被也是实施的绿色战略的一部分。这种结构使人联想到一种可以在自然界中找到的矿物/植物共存。内庭院，灌木丛下的空间，屋顶和所有的空隙都成为适合灌木、攀援物种和植树的表面。因此，植被征服了地面和内部庭院的墙壁，使它成为一个和平的避风港。

Finally, this project is an architectural and urban exploration that leaves nothing to chance, ensuring that all its components reflect not only current practices, but innovative thinking. Courtesy of v2com
