Toronto-based development company baukultur/ca just recently completed the transformation of a 110-year-old house into a contemporary, highly sustainable home and, even though strictly modern, its exterior complements the traditional Beaches neighbourhood.

总部位于多伦多的开发公司baukultur/ca最近刚刚完成了将一座110年前的房子改造成一座当代的、高度可持续的住宅，尽管它的外观非常现代化，但它的外观却补充了传统的海滩社区。

The four level residence is one of the few houses in Toronto designed to minimize the carbon footprint, and its specific use of materials and finishes reduces future maintenance as well as supports the sustainable approach even further. Even though it is built to sell in a market just about to become aware of sustainability and its benefits for both the city as well as the homeowner, baukultur/ca took the opportunity and, at the same time, the risk to construct a home that not only enhance the immediate environment but also would establish new standards in design and energy efficient green building.

这座四层住宅是多伦多为数不多的几栋旨在减少碳足迹的住宅之一，它对材料和饰面的具体使用减少了未来的维护，并进一步支持了可持续发展的方法。尽管它的建造是为了在一个即将意识到可持续性及其对城市和房主都有好处的市场上出售，但baukultur/ca还是抓住了这个机会，同时也冒着建造一个不仅能改善眼前环境，而且还将在设计和节能绿色建筑方面建立新标准的风险。

“我们认为我们的项目也是一个向社区和城市展示可持续现代住宅设计的可能性的机会，”德国建筑师和baukultur/ca的所有者Felix Leicher说。

这座开放的概念住宅位于一条绿树成荫的街道上，靠近商店、餐馆、学校和公园，采用被动式可持续设计，包括被动式冷却、紧凑的建筑体积、自然光、高性能的建筑围护结构、白色反光壁板和屋顶，并结合智能技术，不仅可以最大限度地减少能源消耗和维护大楼的使用寿命，还可以优化室内空气质量和未来业主的福祉。

Contemporary structure harmonizes with established neighbourhood German architect Felix Leicher absorbed the genus loci to create a contemporary structure deeply embedded in its context. The borders between roof and walls are blurred; this creates a sculptural structure of asymmetrical slanted and vertical planes that leave the well-known perception behind while keeping the house’s connection to its surroundings. By respectfully exploring existing building structures, shapes and materials in the surrounding area, the design finds ways to reinvent the existing with its own aesthetics to create a common language and understanding while developing a completely new sculptural appearance for the home.

当代建筑与德国著名的邻里建筑师费利克斯·莱彻(FelixLeicher)和谐相处，吸收了基因座，创造出一种深深植根于其语境中屋顶和墙壁之间的界限是模糊的；这创造了一个不对称、倾斜和垂直面的雕塑结构，在保持房子与周围环境联系的同时，留下了众所周知的感觉。通过对周围地区现有建筑结构、形状和材料的尊重探索，设计找到了用自己的美学改造现有建筑的方法，创造了共同的语言和理解，同时为家庭创造了全新的雕塑外观。

侧壁和屋顶平面被精确的白色金属面板所覆盖，并为一个自然但特殊定义的木茧提供了庇护，它包含了可居住的空间-保护它不受外部因素的影响。深沟槽结构白色侧壁有节奏地生动的表面，而墙壁和屋顶框架木立面在前面和后面的建筑物。前和后都是由热改性木板与底座粘在一起，打开的接缝为房屋提供了另一层和深度。前面探索了海湾窗口和前廊的现有配置，重新创造了两个新的不对称旋转，以补充移动的几何外观从街道，背面惊喜加上一个加在站立缝铜。

Intertwined Spaces The interior develops on the main floor as one open space composed out of singular areas of living, well connected and overlapping, thus creating an almost intertwined continuous space where each function has its own place without being separated or detached from the rest of the house or the exterior. The main floor flows seamlessly from the entry into the living room and through the dining room with the kitchen into the family room in the back of the house, yet never detracts from the specific function of each area. Towards the rear of the building, the borders between interior and exterior living space blur into each other, the inside extending onto the vast exterior deck and west-facing garden.

交织空间内部在主地板上发展为一个开放空间，由单一的生活区组成，连接良好，重叠良好，从而创造了一个几乎交织的连续空间，每个功能都有自己的位置，而不与房子或外部的其余部分分开或分离。主楼层从进入客厅和厨房的餐厅无缝地流入房屋后部的家庭房间，但不影响每个区域的具体功能。朝向建筑的后部，室内外生活空间的边界相互模糊，内部延伸到广阔的外部甲板和面向西面的花园。

内饰的选择是明亮和干净的。主要的颜色是白色。白色墙壁和天花板，白色洗净的实心橡木地板和白色装饰，偶尔引用外部使用的材料：经过热处理的木材、铜和黑色的细节，丰富干净的现代外观，并将内部与外部连接起来。通过v2com新闻专线
