Alain Carle Architecte设计的这座建筑位于加拿大安大略省农村地区，由混凝土和黑色金属覆面构成，建筑与人造景观形成呼应。

Board-formed concrete and black metal cladding characterise this house in rural Ontario by Alain Carle Architecte, which was designed to complement its man-made landscape.

该项目名为“True North”，毗邻美国边境。虽然该地景观看起来很自然，但它实际上通过20世纪中期建造的圣劳伦斯河航道（Saint Lawrence Seaway）开放形成。

Named True North, the project is located near the Canadian city of Cornwall – next to the US border. Although the landscape appears to be natural, it is in fact formed by the opening of the Saint Lawrence Seaway created in the mid 20th century.

“这个项目所在的地段来源于某个发展计划的残余地块，由于海平面的存在，因此该方案强调了水平线条，来呼应周边环境。”建筑师说，“这些因洪水而变平坦的海岸线让人们的视线一览无余，但场地上却具有非常强大的风力条件。”Alain Carle Architecte事务所总部位于蒙特利尔。

"The lot where the project sits was shaped from a residual partitioning of a generic plan of development allowing for a large waterfront that emphasises the horizontal lines dominating the landscape," said Alain Carle Architecte, based in Montreal. "These man-shaped coastlines, levelled by the flooding, consequently induce very strong wind conditions for this unobstructed plane of artificial landscape."

建筑师试图让建筑看起来相对自然，但实际上是对景观环境的充分利用。该团队表示：“我们用虚空间来接近场地，以便以最直接的方式重新诠释人类感受。”

The studio sought to highlight the contradiction of a landscape that appears to look natural, but is actually constructed. "We approach the site in all its artificiality in order to re-inscribe the human experience in the most straightforward way possible," the team said.

将住宅定位于基点，而不是当地街道网格，是一种更好地实现构思理念的方式。“该项目表达了与天空、地平线和风的关系，而不是其直接的周边环境。”建筑师说。

Orienting the home to the cardinal points, rather than to the local street grid, was one way to achieve this. "The project proposes a direct relationship to the sky, horizon and wind rather than its immediate suburban surroundings," the studio said.

建筑入口在南面，并设有车道和车库。楼梯后方是门厅，在住宅的右侧有三间客房，其中一间客房拥有独立套间。

Entrance is from the south, where there is a two-car garage and driveway. A short flight of stairs leads into a foyer. Three guest bedrooms are located to the right, one of which has its own ensuite.

住宅中央的玻璃庭院内种有一棵树，从室内的多个角度都可以看到这棵树。主套房位于住宅下部西侧，该套房也面向庭院。

In the centre of the home, a glazed courtyard contains a tree, which is visible from multiple angles. The western portion of the low-slung home contains the master suite, which also faces the courtyard.

厨房和饭厅位于住宅中间。用餐区旁设有屏风门廊，让使用者在夏季可以享受在户外用餐的时光。

The kitchen and dining room are located beyond, roughly in the middle of the plan. The dining area sits adjacent to a screen porch that allows the residents to enjoy meals outdoors during the summer.

在客厅与厨房餐厅之间具有一定的分隔，它的北面和西面都拥有不同的景色，周围环绕着露台。 Alain Carle Architecte说：“住宅成为了一种感知景观的装置，而非一成不变的自我参照。”

住宅功能主要布置在单层空间，家庭办公室则位于起居室上方，那里拥有更好的视野。

建筑师选择工业材料和极简装饰。混凝土地板、灰黑色的墙壁，以及深色木质装饰，共同构建了室内空间。

A few steps separate the living room from the kitchen and dining area. It has views to the north and west, and is surrounded by a wraparound deck on all sides. "[The house] becomes a device to perceive the landscape rather than a fixed, self-referenced architecture," said Alain Carle Architecte.
Although the home is mostly laid out on a single storey, a home office is perched above the living room, providing even better views of the extended horizon.
The architects chose industrial materials and minimal finishes for the home. Concrete floors, grey and black walls, and dark wood accents define the interiors.

外立面采用板形混凝土和黑色金属覆层。“建筑的外立面结合了混凝土材质，这与场地的特征相呼应，而房屋本身也结合了灵活的金属结构。”事务所介绍道。

The exterior comprises board-formed concrete and black metal cladding. "The outskirts of the house are delineated by a permanent boundary in concrete, linked to the legal occupation of the site, while the house itself could have more flexible or ephemeral construct in metal," said the studio.

这家位于蒙特利尔的事务所因在加拿大各地改造设计二手住宅而闻名。其项目有外立面采用焦雪松木覆盖的住宅，还有一座由四个独立体量环绕中心而形成的居住空间，这两个项目都位于加拿大魁北克。
