架构师提供的文本描述。建筑设计公司YH2将现代住宅与加拿大劳伦蒂斯人的自然体验结合起来。在蒙特利尔(魁北克)以北仅90分钟的拉克苏佩里尔(Lac Supérieur)河岸上，一座曾经是前宗教教众财产的山，如今拥有一种创造性的创新模式，将当代建筑融入自然环境。

Text description provided by the architects. Architectural design firm YH2 marries modern residences with a natural experience in the Canadian Laurentians. On the banks of Lac Supérieur, just 90 minutes north of Montreal (Quebec), a mountain that was once the property of a former religious congregation now houses a creative and innovative model for integrating contemporary architecture in a natural environment.

位于蒙特-特伦布兰特滑雪胜地的北侧，在劳伦蒂斯的旅游区，弗拉特尼特-苏尔-拉茨度假胜地比其他一切都更看重人类的体验。2012年，该公司的开发商委托蒙特利尔YH2工作室承担建造一系列现代住宅的挑战，这些住宅将与自然环境融为一体-因此把目标对准了对室内和外部开发的设计、建筑和新标准敏感的新一代房主。这一做法标志着一个明显的转变，从传统的木屋，神秘的加拿大小木屋或胶合板沉重的高寒小屋周围的精品店。

Located on the north side of the Mont-Tremblant ski resort, in the Laurentians touristic region, the Fraternité-sur-Lac resort site values human experience above all else. In 2012, its developers entrusted Montreal studio YH2 with the challenge of creating a series of modern residences that would be integrated to the natural environment – hence targeting a new generation of homeowners who are sensitive to design, architecture and new standards with regards to interior and exterior developments. This approach marks a clear shift away from traditional log lodges, the mythical Canadian cabin or plywood-heavy alpine cottages surrounded by boutiques.

通过第一次签署一个房地产项目，YH2团队首先构想了Spahaus，重点是水平房屋，木材和混凝土的结合，全景景观和室外水疗中心。一系列的特里豪斯-斯帕豪斯的哥哥-随后迅速跟进，它的三层楼高的垂直设计俯瞰着一个露台，给业主们提供了一种生活在树林中的感觉。这一群次级住宅旨在保护遗址的自然状态，包括原始树木、河流和通往拉克苏佩里尔和波因特俱乐部(Club De La Pointe)的小径，这是一个露天游乐场，位于上述湖的海岸上，禁止驾驶船只。

By signing on to a real estate project for the very first time, the YH2 team first conceived Spahaus, which focuses on horizontal housing, a marriage of wood and concrete, panoramic vistas and an outdoor spa. A series of Trihaus – a big brother to Spahaus – then rapidly followed, with its three-storey vertical design overlooking a terrace, providing owners with the feeling of living amidst the trees. This cluster of secondary homes aims to preserve the site’s natural state, including the original trees, a river and trails leading to Lac Supérieur and the Club de la Pointe, an open-air playground laid out on the shores of the aforementioned lake, where motorized vessels are forbidden.

建筑民主化。

Democratizing architecture.

自从20年前在蒙特利尔的小意大利社区开设店铺以来，Loukas yiacouvakis和Marie-Claude Hamelin为许多吸引加拿大和世界各地关注的独特住宅和商业项目注入了活力。对伊阿库瓦基斯来说，他的团队的首要任务是实现建筑的民主化。他解释说：“我相信，让我们所做的工作民主化符合每个人的最佳利益。”“我们的目标是提供经过深思熟虑的住宅，但更重要的是，我们要发出一个明确的信息，即建筑不仅仅迎合少数特权群体。”

Since setting up shop in Montreal’s Little Italy neighbourhood nearly 20 years ago, Loukas Yiacouvakis and Marie-Claude Hamelin have given life to many distinctive residential and commercial projects that have attracted attention both in Canada and around the world. For Yiacouvakis, his team’s utmost priority is to democratize access to architecture. “I believe it is in everyone’s best interest to democratize the work we carry out,” he explains. “We aim to deliver carefully thought-out residences, but even more importantly, to send out a clear message that architecture doesn’t merely cater to a privileged minority.”

因此，YH2总是在自然环境中寻找最好的游戏表面，在那里它可以集成一些鼓舞人心的、实用的和负担得起的项目。“我认为，二次住宅应该允许与自然和周围的景观有一种根深蒂固的联系，同时提供一个与自己和他人相处完全舒适的生活空间，”伊科瓦基斯指出。

Therefore, YH2 is always on the hunt for the best playing surface in a natural environment where it can integrate projects that are inspiring, functional and affordable. “I believe that a secondary residence should allow for a deep-rooted connection with nature and the surrounding landscapes, all the while offering a living space wherein one feels entirely comfortable with oneself and with others,” Yiacouvakis points out.

住在山上的人。

The ready-to-live in the mountains.

YH 2和Fraternité-Su-Lac的一致愿景转化为伊阿库瓦基斯所描述的“即时性”，类似于高级时装公司在20世纪60年代设计的成衣线。“到目前为止，我们的工作主要是为特定的客户设计建筑-定制的住宅，它们能以与自然环境的融合而自豪。”

YH2 and Fraternité-sur-Lac’s concerted vision translated into an approach Yiacouvakis describes as “ready-to-live”, comparable to the ready-to-wear lines devised in the 1960s by haute couture fashion houses. “Until now, our practice has mainly been dedicated to architectural design for specific clients – custom-built homes that can pride themselves on a privileged rapport with the natural environment they integrate.

在Spahaus和Trihaus项目中，我们正在与Fraternité开发商合作，建立各种性质的、灵活的、免维护的房产。这套住宅是为这个特定的山区设计的，它推出了各种不同的模型，作为真正的壁画艺术收藏。“

With the Spahaus and Trihaus projects, we are working in collaboration with Fraternité developers to establish an assortment of properties in nature that are flexible and maintenance-free. This collection of residences was designed for this particular mountain site, by rolling out a variety of different models that serve as a bona fide, alfresco art collection.”

这种方法不应与工厂建造的住房相混淆，因为工厂建造的住房对某些人来说可能很有吸引力，但考虑到地面的不均匀性、自然的布局、前景或发展与人类经验的一致性。“对我们来说，工厂建造的房屋在性质上是没有位置的，因为这个建议完全忽略了它所建的土地。建造一个工厂建造的房屋需要大量的森林砍伐，仅仅是为了建立不同的预制组件，通过重型机械交付，使得建筑和自然之间不可能有亲密的关系，“Yacouvakis解释说。

This approach is not to be confused with factory-built housing, which may be attractive to some, but is conceived without regard to ground unevenness, natural layout, vistas or the alignment of developments with human experience. “To us, factory-built housing has no place in nature, given that the proposition wholly ignores the land on which it is built. The construction of a factory-built home requires significant deforestation just to set up the different prefabricated elements, delivered by way of heavy machinery, rendering the possibility of an intimate rapport between architecture and nature impossible,” Yiacouvakis explains.

作为这一点的进一步说明，斯帕豪斯的单位融入了自然起伏的山脉轮廓，每一个住所的位置，以使其他小木屋看不见，就像他们被布置在楼梯的台阶上一样。由于前面有一个大窗户设计，底层的混凝土结构欢迎一个木制的游乐场(可以容纳一个绿色的露台)，这构成了二楼的一个额外的房间。我们在这里看到的是“小房子”与进入现代功能空间的思维的融合。这21家斯帕豪斯公司成立于2015年春，几乎都已经找到了接受者，而Trihaus也产生了类似的热情。

As a further illustration of this point, Spahaus units blend into the naturally undulating contours of the mountain, with each residence positioned to keep other chalets out of sight, as if they were laid out on the steps of a staircase. With a large window design in front, the ground floor’s concrete structure welcomes a wooden playhouse (that can accommodate a green terrace), which constitutes an additional room on the second floor. What we’re witnessing here is the merging of the “tiny house” with the thinking that goes into a modern, functional space. Inaugurated in the spring of 2015, these 21 Spahaus units have nearly all found takers already, while the Trihaus generate a similar brand of enthusiasm.
