这是一个对于有着125年的蒙特利尔住宅的装修项目，为此加拿大Architecture Open Form公司不得不提出严格的保护要求。

Canadian firm Architecture Open Form had to negotiate strict preservation requirements with this renovation of a 125-year-old dwelling in Montreal.

这个小型住宅包括77平方米，叫做勒琼住宅，位于该城市皇家山高地附近的中心地带。

Encompassing 77 square metres, the small home – called LeJeune Residence – is located in the heart of the city's Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood.

该住宅建于1890年，最初住的是马夫，他们照料马匹，为当地的富人运输货物。

Built in 1890, the dwelling originally housed grooms who cared for horses and carriages for wealthy residents in the area.

在20世纪中期，外部木隔板的墙壁上覆盖了金属壁板以降低火灾危险。但多年来，建筑面貌已慢慢恶化。

In the mid 1900s, exterior wooden clapboard walls were covered with metal siding to reduce the risk of fire. Over the years, the building deteriorated.

“不管现有建筑和其结构的脆弱性，业主设想了一种可持续发展的、大胆的、高品质的建筑方法，同时也尊重这座125年的老建筑的历史特点，”Architecture Open Form说。

"Despite the fragility of the existing building and its structure, the owners envisioned an architectural approach that was sustainable, bold and high-quality, and at the same time respectful of the historic characteristics of the 125-year-old building," said Architecture Open Form.

该市的法律规定，需采用原有建筑的元素来重构外立面，包括木板、木制飞檐和松木窗框。

The city's laws mandated that the facade be reconstructed using original architectural elements, including the wooden boards, a wooden cornice, and solid pine window frames.

建筑师接触立面，“作为一种新的实验，用大胆的新的干预措施，尊重和恢复现有功能”。

外立面上，该公司取消了壁板，恢复了木制成分，并添加了黑色涂料。窗户上覆盖着了不同深浅的黑色的蚊帐。

The architects approached the facade "as an experiment that would respect and rejuvenate existing features with bold new interventions".
On the exterior, the firm removed the siding, restored the wooden components, and added a black stain. Windows were covered with mosquito screens in varying shades of black.

“这种方法满足了该地区的保护要求和业主的冒险品味，”该公司说。

“此外，单色立面似乎意味着一个神秘的工作，对于这座建筑和业主来说，这是一个起点，一个新的开始，。”

"This approach satisfied both the borough's preservation requirements and the owners' adventurous tastes," said the firm.
"Furthermore, the monochrome facade appropriately suggests an enigmatic work, a point-zero, a new beginning for both the building and its owners."

住宅的内部计划与Christian Bélanger Design合作，做到尽可能得开放。

“功能区之间没有物理边界，这不仅增加了居住空间，对居住者的动态生活方式也作出了回应，”公司说，并指出，房主极具创新意识。

The home's interior, planned in collaboration with Christian Bélanger Design, was left as open as possible.
"The absence of physical boundaries between the functions not only increases the living space, but also responds to the dynamic lifestyle of its occupants," said the firm, noting that the homeowners are creative professionals.

两层高的入口门廊被一个现代装饰的吊灯照亮，“提供了一种宏伟的幻觉”。

空间还内置了一个黑色的书架单元，金属网栏杆的木楼梯通往二楼。

A double-height entrance vestibule is illuminated by a contemporary interpretation of a chandelier that "provides an illusion of grandeur".
The space also features a built-in black shelving unit and wooden stairs with a metal mesh balustrade that lead to the second level.

在一楼，业主想要灵活的居住空间和与院子有很好的连接。作为回应，设计团队用13英尺宽（四米）的玻璃门来连接起居室的外墙，打开即通往木质露台。

“这一自然延伸的家庭生活空间，让业主可以享受到尽可能多的户外生活，”该公司表示。“即使在寒冷的季节里，同样有室内壁炉到室外花园这样从内部到外部的享受。”

On the ground floor, the owners wanted flexible living spaces and a strong connection to the backyard. In response, the design team lined a living room wall with a 13-foot-wide (four metres) floor-to-ceiling glass door that opens onto a wooden terrace.
"This natural extension of the home's living space allows the owners to enjoy living outdoors as much as possible," said the firm. "Even in the colder seasons, the fireplace and the garden can be enjoyed as much from the inside as from the outside."

建筑师设计了固定和可移动的照明装置，可以根据使用空间和业主的心情进行调整。

The architects incorporated fixed and movable lighting fixtures that can be adjusted according to the use of the space and the owner's mood.

在整个住宅中，团队使用了现代家具和有节制的调色板。“在一个有小装饰的简约空间，Architecture Open Form创造了一个完整空间，满足了业主的不同需求，营造了平静的氛围和内心的祥和，”公司说。

Architecture Open Form公司在2008年由建筑师Maxime Moreau 和 Maurice Martel创建，总部位于蒙特利尔。

Throughout the home, the team used modern furnishings and a restrained colour palette. "In a minimalist space with little decoration, Architecture Open Form has created a complete space that meets the owners' different needs and invites serenity and inner peace," the firm said.
Based in Montreal, Architecture Open Form was founded in 2008 by architects Maxime Moreau and Maurice Martel.
