“ShadowBox以概念为主导，由一种纯粹而统一的方式设计完成，其室内氛围独特而极致。” – Stephanie Davison, Davidson Rafailidis
“A conceptually driven project, ShadowBox is executed in a pure and unified way. The interior atmosphere is distinct and extreme.” – Stephanie Davison of Davidson Rafailidis (2020 Juror)

住宅位于多伦多Upper Beaches区域，面朝一条繁忙而嘈杂的马路，为了减少道路的影响，建筑立面将开口控制到最小，仅留一条水平带窗。人们可以从边道进入位于建筑中央的入口。前厅夹在餐厅和厨房/早餐区之间，东西朝向让使用者在早晚餐时都可以受到自然光的照射。厨房为单层空间，餐厅两层通高，到了客厅，层高达到三层，形成空间的收放，带来不同的体验。
Located in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto, the residence faces a busy, at times cacophonous arterial road and as a result, the exterior openings were minimized to a single horizontal strip window. The entrance into the residence is at the midpoint of the building accessed through a side lane. The entrance foyer is located between the dining and kitchen/breakfast areas. The east-west orientation of the building allows for morning light at breakfast and evening light at dinner. From the one-story kitchen, the dining room is double-height and the living room is triple-height, invoking a sense of expansion or compression as one flows through the home.

这栋住宅如同一件乐器，演奏出稍纵即逝的时光。室内墙面如空白的画布，捕捉抽象的阴影及其运动，如微风下摇摆的树木，将外部环境投射到室内。光线在墙壁和地板上移动，整个房间如同一个颠倒的日晷。这里的时光如电影片段般流过，吸引人们的注意。某个瞬间，影子被光替代，消失得无影无踪。
The residence was envisioned as an instrument for the appreciation of the profound ephemerality of time. The interior walls act as a blank canvas capturing the shadows of the abstracted forms and the movement, for example, of trees swaying in a breeze, in effect projecting the exterior environment into the interior. Like a reverse sundial, beams of light move across the walls and floors of the house. The moment is mesmerizing, cinematic, fleeting; in an instant, the shadows transform or disappear altogether.

ShadowBox是对建筑本质的一次探索，通过捕捉光影的微妙变幻将时间的流逝展现在人们面前。同时，变化的空间尺度和体验营造出强烈的运动感。设计集合了单层、双层和三层通高的空间，由桥梁、楼梯等室内元素连接。住宅中不同区域的光影不断变化，同时揭示出建筑的恒久不变与自然的转瞬即逝。
ShadowBox is an exploration of the essence of architecture: to enable the witnessing of the passage of time by capturing the elusive play of light and shadow, and to engender a heightened sense of movement through varying spatial scales and experiences. This includes the expansion and compression of single, double, and triple-height spaces, and through one’s engagement of interior elements such as bridges and stairs. The house is configured to capture the ever-changing light and shadow effects in various areas of the residence. The shadows cast in the interior reveal the juxtaposition between the permanence of the architecture and the ephemeral of the natural.
