Double Duplex was recently designed by Batay-Csorba Architects, a Toronto-based architecture studio founded in 2010 by Andrew Batay-Csorba and Jodi Batay-Csorba.

双工最近是由Batay-Csorba建筑事务所设计的，这是一家位于多伦多的建筑工作室，由AndrewBatay-Csorba和JodiBatay-Csorba于2010年创建。

The Double Duplex was created in response to the cities growing need for alternative housing models due to the rising cost of urban real estate and the need for urban densification within Toronto’s established residential neighbourhoods. A proliferation of high and mid-rise condo’s have densified the urban core and serve as the predominant model for entry level home ownership within the city. However, very few new low rise infill models of densification or affordable living within Toronto’s sought after historic residential neighbourhoods have been developed.

双复式住宅的创建是为了应对城市对替代住房模式的日益增长的需求，因为城市房地产的成本不断上升，而且多伦多的既有住宅区需要城市人口密集化。高层和中层共管公寓的激增使城市核心变得更加密集，并成为城市内入门级居者有其屋的主要模式。然而，很少有新的低层填充模式的致密化或负担得起的居住在多伦多的范围内寻求的历史性住宅区已经开发。

The Double Duplex infill project is located on Melbourne Avenue in Parkdale, one of Toronto’s most notable historic neighbourhoods for their century old Victorian and Bay and Gable mansions. The existing double wide site was severed into two separate properties with a four storey 3,500 square foot detached duplex residence being constructed on each site, allowing property owners to either rent out one of the units to subsidize their own income or to use it as a live work space.

该双复式填充项目位于帕克代尔的墨尔本大道，这是多伦多最著名的历史街区之一，因为他们的百年历史悠久的维多利亚式、海湾和盖博大厦。现有的双面土地被分割成两个独立的物业，每幅土地上兴建一幢四层高的三千五百平方呎独立复式住宅，让业主可以出租其中一个单位以资助他们自己的收入，或将其中一个单位用作居住工作空间。

Many of the 19th Century mansions, often later converted to rooming houses still exist and are being converted back into single family homes. The unique Parkdale neighbourhood now finds itself home to a large burgeoning artist community. Double Duplex pays tribute to the artistry of its surroundings by making contextual relationships through massing, geometry, texture and detail. The project reinterprets the pervasive bay-and-gable typology by abstracting its architectural elements. These include the front balcony, large bay massing, steep roofs and sharp vertical lines. Also playing up this relationship are the high ceilings and large windows, which allow light to reach deep into narrow floor plates.

许多19世纪的豪宅，往往后来改建为住房，仍然存在，并正在被改造成单一家庭的房子。独特的Parkdale社区现在发现自己是一个新兴的大型艺术家社区的家园。双双面通过集合、几何、纹理和细节建立上下文关系，对其周围环境的艺术性表示敬意。该项目通过抽象其建筑元素重新解释了无处不在的海湾和山墙类型。其中包括前阳台，大海湾聚集，陡峭的屋顶和锋利的垂直线。此外，这种关系也是高天花板和大窗户，使光线深入狭窄的地板。

Leveraging digital fabrication techniques and new material technologies, the project translates the crafted historic brick façades by way of a two-storey brise soleil. The brise soleil encloses the front and rear upper balconies, providing controlled lighting conditions and privacy. Individual pieces of bio-enhanced, rot-resistant, sustainable softwood are organized to create a large-scale dynamic façade. During the day, sunlight is filtered through, illuminating the interior spaces with ephemeral dappled light effects. At night, the screen reads as a decorative glowing lantern.

利用数字制造技术和新材料技术，该项目通过一个两层的砖块太阳光来翻译制作的历史砖墙。遮阳罩覆盖了前部和后部的上阳台，提供了可控的照明条件和隐私。个别的生物增强，抗腐烂，可持续的软木片被组织，以创造一个大规模的动态外观。白天，阳光被过滤，以短暂的点缀光的效果照亮室内空间。晚上，屏幕上写着一盏装饰性发光的灯笼。

The project also offers strategies for the dynamic spatial integration of exterior and interior spaces within a with a narrow and deep infill lot, which is typical in Toronto. Each duplex residence consists of a two-storey lower unit and a two-storey upper unit. The lower unit is carved out in the front and back with double-height volumes that flow out to sunken courtyards, maximizing the amount of daylight entering the unit. Brightly painted murals by local artists wrap its courtyards.

该项目还提供战略，动态空间整合的外部和内部空间与一个狭窄和深填充地，这是典型的多伦多。每个复式住宅包括一个两层低层单元和一个两层高层单元.较低的单位是在前面和后面与双高度的体积，流出到凹陷的庭院，最大限度的日光进入单位的数量。当地艺术家用鲜艳的壁画包裹着它的庭院。

The upper unit is organized around a double-height atrium that brings natural light and ventilation into the centre of the apartment. Two exterior courtyards punctuate either end of the floor plate: a double-height balcony overlooks the street at the front, and the master bedroom enjoys a rear terrace.

上面的单元是围绕着一个双高度的中庭组织起来的，它将自然光和通风带到公寓的中心。两个外部庭院点缀在地板的两端：一个双高阳台俯瞰前面的街道，主卧室有一个后阳台。

Double Duplex creates an activated urban environment on the busy residential street. In contrast to a static building façade, which would be out of context adjacent to ornate historic residences, the project acts like a large art installation with material and spatial depth. The two-storey brise soleil is angled so that multiple images appear to passersby as they walk past it, and the screen catches the light’s movements throughout the day. Composed based on cloud images, the screen evokes loose, variable associations and emotions. The effect is somewhat akin to the cloud animals that we have all seen as children, losing ourselves in daydreams.

双复式公寓在繁忙的居住街道上创造了一个活跃的城市环境。与静态建筑立面形成鲜明对比的是，该项目与华丽的历史住宅相邻的背景不同，它的作用就像一个具有材料和空间深度的大型艺术设施。两层楼高的砖状太阳光是有角度的，这样当路人走过时，会看到多幅图像，屏幕会捕捉到白天光线的移动。屏幕以云图像为基础，唤起松散、多变的联想和情感。这种效果有点类似于我们小时候看到的云动物，在白日梦中迷失了自我。
