Canvas House subtly stands apart within its neighborhood of Forest Hillin Toronto. Operating as both a house and a vessel for the owner's contemporary art collection, Canvas House embodies the revered pieces of art it contains through an innovative sculptural façade. This square house —surrounded by Georgian homes —exhibits a monochromatic undulating brick envelope that differs from its surrounding context's symmetrical and conventional residences. The rhythmic façade responds to function by swelling outward to form an overhang above the door and receding to allow light around the second-floor skylight. The movement within the masonry is unscripted yet arranged like the motions of a theater drape, which is an ode to the client's background in theater production.
Canvas House 布幕屋在多倫多森林山 (Forest Hillin Toronto) 社區中脫穎而出。此案既是一棟住宅,也是業主收藏當代藝術的容器,它透過創新的雕塑外牆體現了其中所蘊含的受人尊敬的藝術作品。 這座方形住宅周圍都是喬治亞風格的住宅,它採用了單色起伏的磚砌外牆,與周圍對稱的傳統住宅截然不同。有節奏感的外牆與功能相呼應,它向外膨脹,在大門上方形成懸挑,並向後退,使二樓天窗周圍的光線充足。砌體內部的運動是無規則的,如同戲劇布幕垂墜力所產生的皺褶,彷彿是對客戶戲劇製作背景的一種頌揚。
By prioritizing the possibilities of the resonant form of bricks, Canvas House is organic and orderly, experimenting with materiality and the latest techniques inmasonry.The facade's unmodulated pattern, formed by a repeating unit of five bricks, is inspired by Larry Poons' early works. Optics are accomplished by pairing the single-colored brick with individually improvised corbel variations, allowing the design to showcase the brick's ability to encapsulate the elegance of a Georgian home withoutrelying on traditional forms.
透過優先考慮磚的共振形式的可能性,Canvas House 有機而有序地嘗試了材料性和最新的砌築技術。 外觀由五塊磚組成的重複單元形成的無規則圖案,靈感來自 Larry Poons 的早期作品。透過將單色磚與個性化的即興簷口變化搭配,實現了光學效果,使設計能夠在不依賴傳統形式的情況下展示磚的能力,體現喬治亞風格住宅的優雅。
Inside, the interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth.The organicism of the exterior façade finds its way inside through the gentle curvature of walls that blend seamlessly with the ceilings and architectural fixtures. The door handles and handrails, for example, are carved from the wall, producing an interior dimensionality emphasized by the careful integration of light. This results in a calm, airy, contemplative interior, an apt home for a captivating contemporary art collection.
在室內,光與影的交織營造出一種深度感。外觀的有機感透過牆壁的柔和弧度傳入室內,與天花板和建築裝置完美融合。 例如,門把手和扶手都是由牆壁雕刻而成,透過光線的巧妙融合,營造出室內的立體感。這樣的室內空間寧靜、通透、令人沉思,是迷人的當代藝術收藏品的理想居所。
