Alma 住宅丨加拿大蒙特利尔丨Microclimat

Microclimat 推出Alma Residence，将蒙特利尔世纪初的一栋复式楼改造成私密宽敞的单户住宅。修复后的前立面尊重了原复式楼的建筑语言，而将其他立面与外部连接起来的工作则明显具有现代风格。通过创造一个强调宁静、充实和明亮的生活空间，该项目展现了城市环境中备受推崇的品质。

Microclimat introduces Alma Residence, the transformation of a Montreal duplex from the early century into an intimate and spacious single-family home. While the restored front facade respects the architectural language of the original duplex, the work connecting the other facades to the exterior is decidedly contemporary. By creating a living space that emphasizes tranquility, fulfillment, and brightness, the project demonstrates qualities highly valued in urban settings.

该项目注重在密集的项目和舒适的生活空间之间找到适当的平衡，体现了空间收缩和扩展的微妙互动。从位于房屋中心的双层挑高厨房过渡到舒适的低层起居室，起居室的开口处可以看到后院的景观。

Attentive to finding the right balance between a dense program and offering comfortable living spaces, the project reflects a subtle interplay of contraction and expansion of spaces. From the double-height kitchen at the heart of the house, one transitions to the cozy lower-ceiling living room, where openings frame the backyard landscape.

项目的优势在于其非传统的地理位置。Alma Residence 带有一个侧庭院，与邻近的房屋区分开来。在面积上有所牺牲，但在采光质量、与室外的联系和私密性方面却有所收获。

The project draws strength from its unconventional location. With its side courtyard, Alma Residence distinguishes itself from the neighboring house. What it sacrifices in surface area, it gains in quality of light, connection to the outdoors, and privacy.

这些表面和材料都经过精心挑选，以便与这种全天候恒定变化的原材料进行尽可能温暖的对话；从厨房墙壁凹槽中流淌的倾泻光线，到木材纹理生动的温暖光线，从天花板模制拱顶上舞动的闪烁效果，到窗帘蒸汽波纹中的漫射光。这些注重质感和对比的细节丰富了空间，通过微小的触动塑造出有意义的和谐空间。

The surfaces and materials have been carefully selected to create the warmest possible dialogue with this raw material, which is both constant and changing throughout the day; from the plunging light flowing through the grooves in the kitchen walls to the warm light animating the grain of the wood, and from shimmering effects dancing on the molded vaults of the ceiling to diffuse light in the vaporous waves of the curtains. Enriched by these attentions and details favoring textures and contrasts, the spaces are shaped by small touches and give life to meaningful and harmonious places.

Alma之家不畏城市近距离的挑战，在城市中心营造了一个舒适柔和的发光气泡，体现了所有建筑的初衷：创造保护性的宜居场所......非常简单。

Defying the challenges of urban proximity, Alma House is a luminous bubble of comfort and softness in the heart of the city, embodying the original desire of all architecture: to create protective and pleasant places to live...quite simply.
