当一个三口之家发现他们很快就要迎接第四位家庭成员的时候，他们决定换一所更大的住宅。经过一番寻找，他们将目光锁定在一座蒙特利尔南岸的美丽建筑上。这座房子是由建筑师Frank McGrath在1981年设计的，但经过40年风雨洗礼，如今它面临着大规模翻修。因此，业主家庭将这项改造任务委托给MRDK事务所，他们认为建筑师对细节的敏感以及怀旧精神与他们的愿景十分契合。
When a young family of 3 found out they were soon going to be 4, they decided that it was time to look for a bigger home. They fell in love with the charm of a house on Montreal’s south shore designed by the architect Frank McGrath in 1981 but after 40 years of wear and tear, it was in need of a major renovation. They approached MRDK whose sensibility to detail and nostalgia would be a good fit for their renovation.

破损严重的温室占据了原建筑立面的主要位置，这让这座住宅在社区中获得了“碍眼”的坏名声。改造的第一步就是将温室拆除，同时保留并修复它的混凝土基础，以便在后续的过程在该位置创建一处天井空间，将南向的光线引入地下室办公室中。为了最大限度的利用自然光线，并在地下营造出舒适且富有活力的生活氛围，建筑师进一步将后院挖开，并在后部立面添加了大面积的落地窗，进而为地下室创造出良好的采光与通风环境。

The house’s dilapidated greenhouse protruding from its front façade had gained a reputation for being an eyesore in the neighbourhood. MRDK’s first move was to demolish it while salvaging its concrete foundation to create a large window-well bringing southern light into the basement office. To further maximize daylight and create a convivial living space below ground, the backyard was excavated to add floor-to-ceiling windows on the back façade creating a walkout basement.

进入住宅，首先映入眼帘的是一部宽敞的楼梯，优雅的石灰饰面包裹住弯曲的体量，将楼梯扶手与墙面融为一体，墙体下部则规划出一处壁炉。登上楼梯后，从夹层的内置书桌处，便可将双层通高的客厅尽数收入眼底。
As you enter the house, you are welcomed by a sweeping staircase whose handrail, covered in lime plaster, wraps into a curved volume containing a fireplace below. The double height living room can be admired from above from the built-in desk on the mezzanine.

住宅的后部，厨房和餐厅沐浴在充足的自然光线之中，大面积的滑动玻璃门通向雪松制成的露台。厨房的中心坐落一个雕塑般的中岛，中岛由洞石制成，体量边缘经过了倒角处理，变得圆滑流畅。在制作厨房中岛的过程中，一个小失误致使洞石圆角的两侧留下了一个凹槽，这给设计师创造出一次发挥创意的机会，将带有美丽纹理的Rosso Levanto大理石镶嵌到这处凹槽中，进而完整了整件家具的设计。洞石的肌理再一次出现在厨房操作台的后挡板中，由洞石制成的推拉门隐藏了一处储藏空间，通常让厨房台面显得杂乱的电器与器皿如今都收纳在这个隐藏空间中，居住者也可通过另一侧的门进入这个食品储藏室。
At the rear of the house, the kitchen and dining room are bathed in natural light from the large opening created with sliding doors opening onto a cedar patio. A large sculptural travertine island sits at the centre of the kitchen with its edge softened by an inverted demi-bullnose. A mistake in the fabrication of this island left a groove down either side of the travertine. This became a design opportunity where these grooves were filled with strips of Rosso Levanto marble racing stripes. Travertine is found again on the backsplash of the kitchen where a large slab slides into a pocket in the wall exposing a hidden pantry beyond. All the appliances typically cluttering the countertop are hidden away in this pantry where a passthrough opening make it a practical use of space.

原住宅的主卧室上部设有一处无法利用的阁楼空间，如今，设计通过提升倾斜的屋顶以及添加现代化的天窗，将这处阁楼空间改造为步入式衣橱和主浴室，宽敞的朝南天窗和14英尺（约4.26米）高的天花板使整个空间变得通透而明亮。
An unusable attic space off the principal bedroom was repurposed by lifting the sloping roof creating a contemporary dormer. This space houses the walkthrough closet and principal bathroom with generous south facing clerestory windows and 14′ high ceilings.
