枫叶之家丨加拿大丨Mera Studio Architects

枫叶之家坐落于卡尔加里市中心，是一座独一无二的建筑瑰宝，巧妙融合了中世纪现代主义设计与当代审美。该住宅最初由业主于1966年亲自设计并建造，不仅展现了他们的匠心独运，其平面布局更以醒目的“枫叶形”轮廓脱颖而出，成为当地别具一格的住宅之一。房屋保留了大量原始细节，许多均为手工定制，包括定制家具与专属饰面，充分体现出设计者当年的构想与投入。

Nestled in the heart of Calgary, the Maple Leaf House stands as a one-of-a-kind architectural gem that seamlessly blends mid-century design with modern sensibilities. Originally designed and built by the homeowners in 1966, this home is not only a testament to their craftsmanship but also features a striking maple leaf shaped footprint that sets it apart from other homes in the area. Many of the home’s original details are unique and handmade, from custom case pieces to bespoke finishes, which reflect the vision and dedication of its original designers.
