The product of a gut renovation and second-storey addition to an existing brick bungalow on the south-west edge of the Knob-Hill Park in a residential neighbourhood in Eglinton East on the border between Toronto and Scarborough, Flipped House is a two-storey property designed for a developer looking to offer real estate buyers a modern, turnkey home in a neighbourhood dominated by more traditional architecture.

在多伦多和斯卡伯勒交界处埃格林顿东部的住宅区诺布希尔公园(knob-Hill Park)西南边缘，一栋现有的砖砌平房的装修和二层改造的产物，是一套两层楼高的房产，专为开发商设计，旨在为购房者提供一套现代的、统包式的住宅，这个街区被更传统的建筑所主导。

The project gets its name from its unconventional “flipped” layout. While a typical dwelling keeps all public-facing spaces confined to its main floor, with private areas like bedrooms sequestered upstairs, Flipped House instead adopts a configuration that divides its public and private zones on either side of a vertical plane. As a result, the home’s den, kitchen, dining, and living rooms are all located on its street-facing northeast side, while the house’s three bedrooms span both levels of the building’s more secluded southwestern end.

这个项目的名字来自于它非常规的“翻转”布局。一个典型的住宅将所有面向公共的空间都限制在主楼层，而卧室等私人空间则被隔离在楼上，而翻转住宅则采用了一种将其公共和私人区域分隔在垂直平面两侧的配置。因此，房子的书房、厨房、餐厅和起居室都位于其面向东北的街道上，而房子的三间卧室则横跨该建筑西南端较为隐蔽的两层。
