Missing Middle填充式住宅
Missing Middle Infill Housing / Haeccity Studio Architecture

来自建筑事务所的描述：West End社区位于加拿大温哥华，保留着城市历史不同时期的特征，展示了上世纪初期历史建筑的空间形态。 该项目位于Mole Hill地区，是Haeccity建筑工作室近期的填充式住宅项目的背景。

Text description provided by the architects. Characterized by the layering of many periods of the city’s history, the West End neighbourhood in downtown Vancouver showcases a diverse range of heritage buildings from the turn-of-the-previous century. It is this context, and the Mole Hill block in particular, that becomes home to Haeccity Studio Architecture’s most recently completed infill housing projects.







在温哥华，住房是个紧迫的问题，因此建筑师们构思了三层步行式设计方案，这样能够为使用者们带来6个专属住房单元，它们都各自有着绿色屋面和共享平台，上方种植着高大的柏树。该项目如同一块三明治，位于周边7层和2层半的历史建筑之间，项目负责人Travis Hanks说：“该项目释放了场地中多户住宅的空间潜力，并且以33’ x 122’的占地面积为基础。这里曾经是上世纪50年代的平房建筑，而现在大约能容纳6户单元。”

At a time when housing choice is a pressing issue in Vancouver, Haeccity addresses this need by proposing a three-storey walk-up, offering six dedicated rental units for tenancy with a rooftop, green roof and shared courtyard that supports the retention of an existing mature Cypress tree. Sandwiched in between a seven-storey heritage building and a two-and-a-half-storey heritage house, principal Travis Hanks explains, “This project was largely about unlocking the potential for contextual multi-family housing on a standard 33’ x 122’ lot. Previously a 1950s bungalow, there are now potentially six households on that lot.”



社区的传统环境构成了现代主义空间特征，新建筑位于Victorian式和 Edwardian式建筑之间。其现代化空间特征表达了对社区Mole Hill住宅的传统式呼应，建筑有着倾斜的屋面、独立的外部入口、联系紧密的步行道路，在单个住宅场地中能容纳多个家庭单元。

The heritage context of the neighbourhood notably shaped the modernist structure that gently inserts itself among the Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Its modern expression makes a deliberate nod to some of the more traditional typologies of the neighbouring Mole Hill Houses, articulated through the sloped roof, separate exterior dwelling entrances, and a network of intimate paths and walkways accommodating multiple families on a single residential lot.



该项目成功地弱化了场地的空间限制，满足了当地政策和社区规划的参数要求，另外，建筑师还充分考虑了诸如步行体系、交通运营、共享汽车、住宅多样性、通达性等要素，甚至还考虑了未来的老龄化发展。

Haeccity’s project successfully responds to spatial limitations of the site as well as to the parameters set by municipal policies and the West End Community Plan, while considering key issues such as walkability, transit, car sharing, housing diversity, accessibility, and aging in place.





Missing Middle填充式住宅并不是单个家庭住宅，也不是传统的公寓大楼，这只是一座位于“之间”的建筑。建筑师重新构思了城市住宅的各种可能性，并且不破坏现有的场地与社区特征，但是增加了空间使用率。

Not quite a single-family home, and yet not a soaring condo building, the missing middle typology offers something in between. In rethinking the possibilities for urban dwelling, it’s a solution that calls for incremental densification without drastically disrupting the character and community of existing neighbourhoods.





Comox St.项目为Haeccity建筑工作室的设计提供了参考，Urbanarium Missing Middle设计竞赛于2018年举办，Haeccity建筑工作室的设计作品从中脱颖而出。

The Comox St. project and its lessons would ultimately provide the framework for Haeccity Studio’s design rationale in the 2018 Urbanarium Missing Middle Design Competition, garnering them both the First and Planners Prizes.





地点、场地限制、空间形式使得Comox成为获奖方案的设计原型，建筑师构思了适应性强的小规模多家庭住宅单元，此类建筑空间在温哥华城市中并不常见，因此该项目名为“missing”。

The location, site constraints, and built form would render Comox an effective prototype for the award-winning proposal by developing responsive, small-scale ground-oriented, multi-family housing that is largely “missing” from Vancouver’s urban fabric.



Comox项目表达了该类建筑的主要特征，其中有步行式城市生活、中产阶级的经济能力、住宅多样性，而这些元素都是一座城市社会与文化品质的重要组成部分。

Comox embodies the desirable qualities of a missing middle typology, including walkable urban living, accessibility to a middle-income household, and housing diversity, which are all essential to the continued fostering of a city’s social and cultural vibrancy.
