Baie-D’Urfe 市位于加拿大蒙特利尔岛的西南端，在最近NORM住宅翻新中，总部位于蒙特利尔的Alain Carle Architecte创造了一个优雅的白色建筑，当寒冷的蒙特利尔冬天覆盖在雪地上时，它显得更加有魅力。

In the recent NORM residence renovation, Montreal-based Alain Carle Architecte has created an elegant study in white that appears even more magical when the cold Montreal winter covers the ground in snow.

Baie-D'Urfé是蒙特利尔岛西南端的一个居住社区。该地区大部分是大面积地段上的大房子。但由于其街道网格在不平的地形中蜿蜒曲折，许多住宅从多个角度都可见，因此缺乏隐私。单户普通住宅也是如此。

Baie-D’Urfé is a residential community at the southwestern end of the island of Montreal. The area has mostly large houses on sizeable lots. But because its street grid meanders in the uneven topography, many residences are visible from several angles and therefore lack privacy. This was also the case with the single-family NORM residence.

标准住宅在现有单户住宅的基础上进行了翻新和扩建。通常，郊区住宅的设计都没有真正考虑到场地语境，而本案打破了这种传统观念。项目的场地朝着南方微微倾斜，在原来的布局中，车库占据了阳光最充足的部分，而起居室却朝北设置。从街道望去，几乎无法找到通向房屋的入口，仅露出了一扇车库门。

Moreover, the existing house, located on a gently sloping south-facing site, was built with no regard to light. This is an oversight that makes no sense in a climate where sunshine and warmth are in short supply. The sunniest part of the lot was occupied by the garage and the main living spaces were all facing north. From the street, the garage was visible but not the front door. From the inside, there was no real connection to the outside or to the mature trees and green landscape on the site.

内部和外部都是完全白色的。与方形外观形成对比的是，内饰带来了一些惊喜。不同的纹理、变换的光线和在整个房子中反复出现的曲线形状，创造了令人惊讶的景致。就像外面被吹成柔软形状和纹理的雪，它们充分利用了秋末和冬季的低日照。

Both the interior and the exterior are completely white. Contrasting with the boxy exterior, the interior offers some surprises. Varying textures, shifting light and the curving shapes recurring throughout the house create surprising revelations that seem strangely familiar and appropriate. These features resemble snow blown into soft shapes and textures outside, and they take full advantage of the low sunlight in the late fall and winter.

这是一个适应季节变化的家。在冬天，房子在雪地里睡觉和安顿，给人一种舒适安全的感觉。但在夏天，它将看起来完全不同，因为白色的结构在绿色的自然中闪耀。这里有一种朴实无华的斯堪的纳维亚极简主义和现代主义的整体感觉，这是我们当然无法抗拒的。这项翻新工程取得了巨大的成功。

This is a home that responds to the seasons. In the wintertime, the house provides a sense of cozy safety as it sleeps and settles in the snow. But in the summertime, it will look completely different as the white structure shines boldly among the green nature. There is a lovely overall sense of unadorned Scandinavian minimalism and modernism which we, of course, cannot resist. This renovation gets our vote as a resounding success.
