Situated on a narrow lot in an older Toronto neighbourhood, the Skygarden House by Dubbeldam Architecture   Design provides outdoor living spaces on multiple levels to address the owners’ desire for a better connection to the home’s natural surroundings. The owners used to spend their weekends at a home in the country, located next to a stream and surrounded by trees. For their new urban home, they wanted to emulate this bucolic experience and satisfy their deep connection to nature.

位于多伦多一处较老街区的狭小地段上，由杜贝尔达姆建筑设计公司(Dubbeldam Architecture Design)建造的天园屋(Sky花园House)在多层提供室外居住空间，以满足业主对与住宅自然环境的更好联系的渴望。业主们过去常常在乡村的一所房子里度过他们的周末，这个家坐落在小溪旁，四周都是树木。对于他们的新城市家园，他们想模仿这种田园生活的经验，满足他们与自然的深厚联系。

Although the new house is only 2,420 square feet, it feels much larger—its rooms expand beyond the interior of the house to a series of highly useable outdoor spaces that enrich the domestic experience, each with its own unique character and varying level of privacy. The rear yard is landscaped and features a generously scaled thermally treated ash wood deck, and a few steps down, another zone defined by granite pavers is planted with a row of honey locust trees that offer dappled light and shade in summer. The plant material was selected to provide visual interest year round.

尽管新房面积只有2420平方英尺，但感觉要大得多-它的房间从房子内部扩展到一系列高度可用的室外空间，丰富了家庭体验，每个空间都有自己独特的特点和不同程度的隐私。后院是美化的，并有一个慷慨的热处理灰木甲板，和几步下，另一个由花岗岩摊铺机定义的地区是种植了一排的蜂蜜蝗虫树，提供点缀的光和阴影在夏季。选择植物材料是为了提供全年的视觉兴趣。

Even the existing porch at the front of the house is remade into a private outdoor dining room enclosed by a five-foot-high wood screen, extending the private realm into the public arena. On the third floor, two significant outdoor spaces provide green respite. An exposed roof deck at the back of the house has plentiful views over the neighbourhood and into the extensive green canopy surrounding the house.

即使是在房子前面的现有门廊也被改造成一个由五英尺高的木屏风围起来的私人户外餐厅，将私人领域延伸到公共竞技场。在三楼，两个重要的室外空间提供绿色休息。在房子的后面有一个暴露的屋顶甲板有丰富的视野周围的邻居和进入广泛的绿色天篷围绕着房子。

At the front of the house, half of the master bedroom is given over to an intimate exterior space clad in the warm ash, with a recessed planter and an opening carved into the roof for natural light, access to rainwater and ample views of green. Intimately connected to the master suite, this “skygarden” functions as a unique outdoor room, open to the sky, sun, wind and stars.

在房子的前部，一半的主卧室被让给了一个温暖的外部空间，里面覆盖着温暖的灰烬，屋檐上刻着一个凹槽和一个洞口，以获得自然光、雨水和充足的绿色景观。与主套房紧密相连，这座“空中花园”作为一个独特的室外房间，向天空、太阳、风和星星开放。

Working with the existing footprint of a century-old fully detached house in the city’s midtown neighbourhood, only the two side exterior walls of the original building were retained. Referencing the traditional domestic scale and form of its neighbours, the Skygarden House presents a fresh and graphic interpretation of the traditional pitched roof with a sublimely clean elevation. Planes of floor-to-ceiling glass, comprised of a combination of windows, doors and spandrel panels, frame views to the exterior, bringing natural light and the experience of the changing seasons into the interior; they imbue each of the rooms in the house with a unique spatial quality; and they create ever-important access to outdoor spaces on both lower and upper levels.

与现有的足迹，一个世纪以来，完全独立的房子在城市的中城区附近，只有两面外墙的原始建筑被保留。参照传统家庭的规模和形式的邻居，天空花园大厦提出了一个新的和图形的解释，传统的倾斜屋顶与一个崇高的干净的海拔。从地板到天花板的玻璃平面，由窗户、门和吊灯板组成，从框架到外部，将自然光和季节变化的体验带入室内；它们使房子中的每一个房间都具有独特的空间质量；它们为上下两层的室外空间创造出了前所未有的重要通道。
