The House on Ancaster Creek is an example of owner-driven development, creating a unique solution to the complex issue of aging-in-place. The project constructs a scenario for living that allows for autonomy while mutually benefitting from proximity. It confirms that sustainable systems and designing for the elderly are not exclusive from modern expression and exquisite details. As the family changes so can the family home.

Ancaster溪上的房子是业主驱动开发的一个例子，为老旧的复杂问题创造了一个独特的解决方案。该项目构建了一个生活场景，该场景允许自治，同时从邻近性中相互受益。它证实了可持续的老年人系统和设计并不是现代表达和细腻细节所独有的。随着家庭的变化，家庭也可以回家。

A wide lot backing onto Ancaster Creek is the site for a intergenerational home for a family and their elderly parents. The house was conceived as two distinct residences, each formed into a linear bar containing the full program of a home. The bars sit perpendicular to each other, creating a landscaped courtyard setback from the street, and stack at the corner.

许多支持Ancaster Creek的网站是一个家庭和他们年迈的父母的代际家园的网站。这所房子被认为是两个不同的住宅，每一个形成了一个线性条状，其中包含了一个家庭的全部程序。酒吧互相垂直，形成了一个景观庭院倒退，从街道，并堆叠在角落。

Ancaster Creek and its associated floodplain traverse the property. This site is one of 596 private properties that accommodate forest, wetland, meadow, and aquatic habitat in this protected area. The house is located at the back of the property in close proximity to the creek, while respecting the meander line to avoid the floodplain and erosion hazards of the watercourse. The landscape moves through the house, creating a natural context and denying the collection of McMansions that have been developed around the site and attempt to contextualize it as suburban instead of as connected to the land.

Ancaster Creek及其相关的洪泛区穿越了这片土地。这是596个私人财产之一，可容纳森林，湿地，草甸和水生栖息地在这一保护区。房子位于靠近小溪的房地产的后面，同时尊重弯曲线，以避免河漫滩和河道侵蚀的危险。景观通过房子，创造了一个自然的环境，拒绝收集的麦克豪斯已经开发了周围的地点，并试图把它作为郊区，而不是连接到土地。

The parent’s suite occupies the ground floor with the living and dining space anchoring the view. The suite is laid out as a single floor accessible apartment with added features to accommodate the specific challenges facing the ageing parents. Among them, well-located drains and a master power switch mitigate issues that have come with memory loss: a sink left running, or an oven left on. A second bedroom and bathroom are adjacent, but separate, for a live-in relative or nurse.

父母的套房位于一楼，居住和就餐空间锚定景观。套房被布置为一层无障碍公寓，增加了功能，以适应老年父母所面临的特殊挑战。其中，位置良好的排水沟和主电源开关可以缓解内存丢失带来的问题：水槽仍在运行，或者烤箱仍在开着。第二个卧室和浴室是相邻的，但单独的，作为一个住在家里的亲戚或护士。

Running parallel to the creek is the main residence. The kitchen anchors the south end of the house. Set in a double height volume, the 20-foot-tall pyramidal ceiling creates an expansive space that opens to the creek, the courtyard, and above to the sky. Backpainted glass and polished Calacatta slabs are meticulously detailed to reflect the surrounding landscape and contrast the heavy, flat-sawn solid oak island with a faceted base. The dining room occupies a glazed link pinched between the landscape that flows from the creek, through the courtyard, and to the front of the house. The living room, with a honed travertine fireplace and oak wall rendered in the form of the exterior cladding, extends under the cantilever in the summer months, doubling in size. These social spaces are shared by the extended family. A connected hallway that is easy to navigate for the parents leads around a softened corner and draws the family together.

与小溪平行运行是主要住宅。厨房固定在房子的南端。这座20英尺高的金字塔天花板以双高的体积设置，为小溪、庭院和天空提供了广阔的空间。背漆玻璃和抛光卡拉卡塔板是详细细致的反映周围的景观，并对比沉重的，平锯实心橡木岛与一个多面的基础。餐厅占据了一个玻璃连接之间的景观，从小溪，通过庭院，并到前面的房子。客厅，有一个磨练的石灰华壁炉和橡木墙的形式，以外部覆层的形式，延伸到悬臂下的夏天几个月，两倍的大小。这些社会空间是由大家庭共享的。一个连接的走廊，很容易导航，对父母来说，引导在一个柔和的角落，并把家人团结在一起。

The grand gesture of a wood-clad spiral staircase connects the living room to the second floor master suite, creating a unique moment in the otherwise orthogonal room and celebrating the connection between floors. The curvature opens as it rises and becomes the ceiling of the adjacent wing, creating a pinwheeling effect that leads to the parents’ suite. Structured with sheets of laminated plywood, the white oak railings become thin, curved, structural elements that bridge between the floors. The complexity of this system is seen in the connections between the layers, with the two sides tied together by the treads, effectively treating the tight, inner spiral as a post. The small second floor acts as a private suite. A lounge with concealed bar extends from the large landing, a custom oak library painted a soft blue provides an office space, a light-filled cantilevered bedroom reaches out into the best views of the creek and a serene bathroom clad in grey marble tiles sits across a linear walk-in closet.

木质螺旋楼梯的宏伟姿态将客厅与二楼主套房连接起来，在原本正交的房间里创造了一个独特的时刻，并庆祝楼层间的连接。当曲率上升并成为相邻机翼的天花板时，曲率就会打开，从而产生一种针尖状的效果，从而导致父母的套房。白色橡木栏杆由层叠胶合板构成，成为地板之间的桥梁。这一系统的复杂性表现在各层之间的连接，两边被脚踏连接在一起，有效地将紧密的内螺旋当作一个柱子。二楼很小，是一间私人套房。一间带有隐藏酒吧的休息室从大落地延伸开来，一个定制的橡木图书馆漆成了柔和的蓝色，提供了一个办公空间，一间光线充足的悬臂卧室延伸到小溪的最佳视野，一间用灰色大理石瓷砖铺着的宁静浴室坐落在一个直线步入式壁橱的对面。

With sustainability at the forefront of the design process, the requirement of material durability and longevity was paramount. Careful detailing of local materials achieves this. The ground floor of the house is clad in 3-1/2” thick locally quarried Algonquin limestone which meanders around the perimeter. The coursing is designed to highlight the compression and layering that forms this sedimentary rock. 12” tall stones at the top-most course compress to 4” at the bottom. The horizontal joints are raked deep and the vertical joints are filled flush to emphasize the horizontality of the rock. Milled cedar clads the upper volumes of the house. 1×6 boards were milled with thin shadow lines that create depth in the material and emphasize the verticality of wood’s natural state. A three part finishing system extends the life of the wood and stretches the time required between maintenance work.

由于可持续性处于设计过程的最前沿，对材料耐久性和寿命的要求是最重要的。仔细详细的当地材料实现了这一点。房子的底层是3-1/2英寸厚的当地采石场的阿尔冈金石灰石，在周边蜿蜒而行。该过程旨在突出形成这种沉积岩的压缩和分层。12“顶部的高石头-最上面的过程压缩到4”在底部。水平节理倾斜深，垂直节理填平，突出岩石的水平性。磨过的雪松卷是房子的上部。1×6板用薄的阴影线加工而成，在材料中创造了深度，强调了木材自然状态的垂直性。三部分修整系统延长了木材的使用寿命，延长了维护工作之间所需的时间。

To reduce the ecological footprint, energy consumption was decreased through a number of key moves. Most importantly, two families are now living on a single-family lot, increasing density without increasing building area. Second is the envelope: A high-performance glazing system, triple-pane wood-frame windows with an average Uw = .77 anchor the highly insulated envelope. Radiant floor heating can then be used sparingly and only to compliment a high efficiency furnace. Finally, a 37 module 9.8 kW Canadian made solar array was installed across two of the flat roofs, offsetting energy consumption. Combined with LED lighting, these measures culminate in a low-energy home that sits comfortably in this Northern climate.

为了减少生态足迹，通过一些关键举措降低了能源消耗。最重要的是，现在有两个家庭住在一个单一家庭的土地上，在不增加建筑面积的情况下增加了密度.第二个是信封：一个高性能的玻璃系统，三层木框架窗户，平均UW=.77锚定高度绝缘的信封。地板辐射采暖可以被节省使用，只为补充一个高效率的炉子。最后，在两个平顶安装了一个37模块9.8千瓦加拿大制造的太阳能阵列，抵消了能源消耗。再加上LED照明，这些措施最终形成了一座舒适地坐落在北方气候中的低能耗住宅。
