Entre Quatre Murs 發表了位於加拿大蒙特利爾的 Nuns' Island 的 Wilson Townhouse 項目。該項目包括對一座小型聯排別墅進行全面翻新，採用簡單、實用的空間優化方法，每個房間都使用定制櫥櫃，以及柔和、明亮的材質。
Entre Quatre Murs presents the Wilson Townhouse project, located on Nuns' Island in Montreal, Canada. The project consists of the complete renovation of a small townhouse, with a simple, functional approach to space optimization, the use of custom-made cabinetry in each room, and a soft, luminous materiality.
重大翻新的起點
該房屋由 Dan Hanganu 於1982年設計，從未翻新過，其外觀吸引了新業主，具有當地及年代的典型特徵：線條的簡潔性、紅磚、黑色窗戶、立面上的小巧復古風格，最重要的是，一個大後院守護著成熟的植被，讓訪客可以在城市中心欣賞四季的變化節奏。
Starting point for a major renovation
Designed by Dan Hanganu in 1982, and never renovated since, the house charmed its new owners with its exterior, which possessed all the typical characteristics of the neighborhood and its period: simplicity in its lines, red brick, black windows, small touches of retro style on the facade and, above all, a large backyard sheltering mature vegetation that allows visitors to appreciate the rhythm of the seasons in the heart of the city.
至於室內部分，進行一次重大翻新，以便新屋主能夠創造自己的故事 ; 最重要的是，滿足他們日常的生活需求。項目初始，重點放在柔和、簡單、明亮和一致性。"在規劃階段，我們就為階梯設計了一個完全開放的空間，且敞開了整個後立面，將庭院與房屋內部串連起來，引入大量的光線，並賦予僅 665 平方英尺的一樓十足的氣勢，"Entre Quatre Murs 的業主兼室內設計師Debby Pagé解釋道。
As for the interior, it was in dire need of a major renovation to allow future residents to create their own story and, above all, to meet the needs of their daily lives. The work of the Entre Quatre Murs team was therefore colossal. At the beginning of the project, the focus was on softness, simplicity, brightness, and uniformity. "Right from the planning stage, we designed a completely open layout for the first floor, as well as opening the entire rear façade, connecting the courtyard to the interior of the house, and providing maximum light, as well as giving a sense of grandeur to this small 665 square foot first floor," explains Debby Pagé, owner of the house and interior designer for Entre Quatre Murs.
此佈局關鍵是為客戶量身定制存儲空間，也在各個空間之間創造了視覺的連續性。
The key to making this layout work was the integration of custom cabinetry on most of the party walls, allowing for storage completely tailored to the client's needs, but also creating a visual continuity between each space.
"這個項目的挑戰來自這棟房屋的結構，對於這種聯排別墅來說是打破常規的秩序，” 設計師補充說。"最初設計有兩個承重軸和主管道系統貫穿房屋的核心，因此現有的佈局需要將這些元素進行重新配置，以便騰出足夠的空間規劃廚房及大型島台，這對我和我的伴侶來說是最重要的空間。"
"The challenge in achieving this layout was the unusual structure of the home for a townhouse of this size," adds the designer. "Originally designed with two load-bearing axes and the main plumbing system running through the heart of the house, the existing layout required a complete reworking of these elements to make room for the extensive kitchen and its large island, which is the most important space for my partner and I."
強調光線與材質
位於房屋核心的階梯及其上方的天窗被徹底的改造。事實上，階梯結構的每一處細節都經過了重新思考，運用房屋留白概念作為引導線：結合著木材和白色金屬觸感的曲線。優雅如雕塑般的階梯設計，而大量的自然光線透過天窗漫射透入房子的每個角落，洋溢著柔和的光芒。
An emphasis on light and materiality
Located at the heart of the house, the staircase and its overlooking skylight underwent a complete transformation. In fact, every detail of the staircase’s structure was rethought, using all the conceptual guidelines used for the rest of the house: curved lines with touches of wood and white metal. Elegantly designed, this sculptural staircase effortlessly invites an abundance of natural light from the skylight to suffuse the entire house with its gentle radiance.
樓上區域的寧靜與柔和
樓上區域雖然相對於現有格局較為封閉，但同樣設計了定制的整合式儲物空間，旨在優化空間、儲存和居住者的日常使用。
Serenity and softness upstairs
The upstairs area, while relatively impervious to the space’s existing layout, underwent a remarkable transformation along the same lines as the first floor, with bespoke integrated storage designed and positioned to optimize space, storage, and daily use by the occupants.
"此概念性思維，以及我對創造一個直接符合我們空間關注的日常習慣，強調從到達一樓的那一刻起，整個房間都充滿了平靜和流動的感覺，” Debby Pagé解釋道。"作為這一過程的一部分，我們增加了許多小型隱藏的儲物空間，以幫助盡可能保持空間的整潔。"
"The conceptual thinking, and my concern to create a space directly in line with our daily habits, allowed us to emphasize, from the moment you arrive on the first floor, a sense of calm and fluidity found throughout the rooms," explains Debby Pagé. "As part of that process, we added many small, hidden storage spaces to help keep the space as uncluttered as possible."
為了符合完整主臥室的期望，這個套房足以媲美大型酒店，浴室經過重新設計，不僅可容納訪客，還能迎接新家庭成員的到來（如有需要）。
In keeping with the desire for a complete master suite worthy of a grand hotel, the bathroom was redesigned to accommodate guests, but also the arrival of a new family member should the need arise.
擴大一樓俯瞰庭院的窗戶，使觀看橡樹和周圍植被的視野毫無阻礙。大型亞麻窗簾將臥室與衣帽間連接，創造兩個空間的連續性。由於樓上浴室沒有自然光，因此以明亮的色調設計，確保與項目整體的柔和性。此外，重點照明讓亮度可以根據全日時間軸和新業主的需求進行調整。
The first-floor windows overlooking the courtyard have also been enlarged, offering an unobstructed view of a mature oak tree and surrounding vegetation. A large linen curtain connects the bedroom to a walk-in closet that adorns the wall, bringing softness and continuity to both spaces. With no direct access to natural light, the upstairs bathroom was intentionally designed with a light and bright color palette to ensure soft and aesthetic continuity with the rest of the project. In addition, accent lighting allows the brightness to be adjusted according to the time of day and the needs of the new owners.
優化放大每一平方英尺
房屋的最低層，即地下室，是車庫佔地超過三分之一的面積，其餘空間設計主軸則具功能性。因此，它可以自讓地形成一個多用途區域，既可以作為影音室、健身空間，也可以作為接待朋友和家人的空間。
Optimizing every square foot
The lowest level of the house, the basement, was also designed along the same lines as the rest of the project. With the garage occupying over a third of the area, the remaining space had to be designed to provide versatility. As a result, it can seamlessly transition into a multipurpose area, serving as a hub for movie night, workout sessions, sleepovers, or as a dedicated space for hosting friends and family.
