Appreciation towards APPAREIL Architecture for providing the following description:

Binome是一个大胆的项目，以当代而细腻的方式回应城市增密的课题。这座独特的五户住宅建筑，通过考究的建筑品质和对场地环境的尊重融合，提供了更优质的居住体验。业主是一对夫妇，他们拥有一块位于自家双拼住宅与一栋多户住宅之间的空地。二人设想要实现一个具有前瞻性的插建项目：提供高质量的集体住宅，促进邻里间的共居共处与代际多样性。

Binome stands as a bold project offering a contemporary and sensitive approach to urban densification. Unique in its kind, this five-unit residential building provides an enriched living experience through thoughtful architectural quality and respectful integration into its context. The clients—owners of a vacant lot between their duplex and a multi-unit building—envisioned a forward-thinking infill project: to offer high-quality collective housing that would promote cohabitation and intergenerational diversity within the neighborhood.

“我们梦想建造一栋具有不一样建筑形式的房子——由两个体量和一个中央庭院组成，可以容纳更多住宅，最好是能负担得起的”，Binome的共同业主Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse表示。

“We dreamed of a building with a different kind of architecture—made up of two volumes and a central courtyard—allowing for more housing, ideally affordable”, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, co-owner of Binome.

温和增密与场地优化
Soft Density and Site Optimization

该项目面临的主要挑战之一，是如何在尊重市政法规和密度限制的前提下，最大限度利用这块地块。团队进行了详尽的场地潜力研究，并需精准处理与基坑开挖相关的技术问题。尽管地块狭长且地势较深，项目仍采用因地制宜的策略，避免建成一个单一的大体块，而是提供更优越的居住条件。

One of the project’s main challenges was optimizing the lot while respecting municipal regulations and density constraints. A thorough site potential study was conducted, requiring precise management of technical issues related to excavation. Though deep, the narrow parcel required a tailored approach to avoid a monolithic block and instead provide superior living conditions.

“在城市里，你不能只是拆除建筑”，业主补充道，“你需要提出一个有意义的替代方案。在我们所在的区，有很多限制。我们必须建造一面共墙，充分利用整块地，还得设置两个独立的地址。最简单的做法是建一栋经典双拼，但我们希望借此机会，为我们自己，也为他人，创造一些更有意义的东西。”

“In the city, you can’t just demolish,” adds the owner. “You need to propose a meaningful replacement. In our borough, there are constraints. We had to build a party wall, fully use the site, and create at least two separate addresses. The simplest thing would have been to build a classic duplex, but we wanted to take this opportunity to create something meaningful for us and others ”.

尽管面临技术与行政层面的复杂挑战，该项目仍提供了一个具有典范意义、贴合语境的城市住宅回应方式，和谐地融入了蒙特利尔的城市肌理。建筑体量被拆解为两个分离单元，由一个景观化的中央庭院相连，这样的设计带来多个优势：
* 南北通透的户型实现自然通风与良好的日照；
* 中庭作为共享空间，促进住户间的互动；
* 建筑形体和城市视线的通透性降低了体量感，减少对城市环境的压迫。

Despite technical and bureaucratic complexities, the project delivers an exemplary and contextual response to the challenges of urban housing, blending harmoniously into the Montreal landscape. The design solution splits the building into two distinct volumes connected by a landscaped interior courtyard, offering several advantages:
·Natural cross-ventilation and optimal daylight with through-units
·A shared central courtyard promoting resident interaction
·Visual and urban permeability that lightens the architectural impact

整栋建筑包含五户住宅：三套开放式户型，面积约600平方英尺；以及两套双层户型，面积各约 1,500 平方英尺。每套住宅都拥有独立出入口，通往共享庭院或经通道进入的私密露台，增强住户的归属感和舒适度。该做法重新诠释了蒙特利尔的本土住宅类型，并在空间组织和城市适应性上进行了创新。建筑为地上三层带地下室，既提升了场地密度，又保持了宜人的尺度感。体量沿街道和小巷布局，围合出中央共享庭院。这种设计实现了密度与亲密感的平衡，避免了城市多户住宅常见的封闭压迫感。

The building comprises five dwellings: three open-plan units of approximately 600 sq. ft., and two duplexes of about 1,500 sq. ft. each. Every unit has its own entrance and outdoor access—either via the shared courtyard or a private terrace reached through a porte-cochère—enhancing residents’ sense of ownership and well-being. This approach reinterprets vernacular Montreal housing typologies, rethinking their organization and urban adaptation. Rising three stories with a basement, Binome densifies the site while preserving a human scale. The massing is positioned along the street and laneway, opening up a central space that becomes a shared courtyard. This balance brings density and intimacy together, avoiding the enclosed feel typical of urban multi-unit projects.

和谐融入与城市对话
Harmonious Integration and Urban Dialogue

“我们希望这个项目能吸引喜欢建筑、热爱创意和社区生活的人——结果也正是如此”，Sarah-Jeanne说道，“我们现在的住户有各个年龄层，有艺术家也有家庭。每个人都享有隐私，同时也有许多交流的机会。”

“We hoped this project would attract people who love architecture, creativity, and community— and that’s exactly what happened” says Sarah-Jeanne. “We now have people of all ages, artists and families. Everyone enjoys privacy, but there are plenty of opportunities to connect”.

项目在建筑语言上受到本地区工业历史的启发。昔日的制造场所被改造为住宅和艺术工作室，塑造了独特的城市特征。Binome延续了这种文脉，借用红砖、大开窗的工业元素，以及模仿旧巴斯德医院砖柱廊的设计，重新演绎本地建筑特色。立面设计在融入环境方面起到了关键作用。建筑不仅仅是与现有街景对齐，更通过体量与肌理的微妙互动，丰富了城市街道的空间层次。入口处的砖拱不仅提供结构与节奏感，也在公共与私密空间之间建立起柔和的过渡。这些元素使建筑在街道上具有明确存在感的同时，保护了居民的隐私。立面采用同色系的红色金属搭配红砖，在材料和色彩上形成协调统一。温暖低调的色彩基调让建筑自然地融入邻里环境，避免与周边形成强烈对比。

The architecture is inspired by the area’s industrial past, where former manufacturing sites have been converted into residences and artists’ studios, shaping a distinctive urban identity. Le Binôme follows this legacy with reinterpretations of local architectural hallmarks: red brick, generous windows reminiscent of industrial workshops, and brick colonnades echoing the old Pasteur Hospital, now a residential facility. The façade plays a pivotal role in integrating the project into its surroundings. Rather than merely aligning with the existing streetscape, the design introduces a subtle interplay of volumes and textures that enrich the urban fabric. Brick arches at the entrance provide structure and rhythm, creating a smooth transition between public and private space. These elements give the building a distinct street presence while maintaining privacy for residents. The use of tone-on-tone red metal with the brick reinforces material and chromatic harmony. The understated, warm palette ensures the project fits naturally into its environment, avoiding harsh contrasts with neighboring structures.

从城市到细部的整体设计
Integrated Design at Every Scale

除了整体规划与外部建筑，项目在室内设计上同样精致入微。每户住宅都呈现出个性化的细节与风格，体现在材料和色彩选择上：
·Appareil 定制的厨房岛台，选用白橡木、胡桃木或彩色金属材质；
·每间浴室采用不同瓷砖铺装风格；
·后立面窗户经过精心布置，引入充足自然光。
中庭使用玻璃砖以保证私密性，同时柔化并散射光线，避免直视同时最大化核心区的采光。庭院内红色双层基座反射光线，点亮共享空间，并赋予其结构感。楼梯则包覆以精致而欢快的酒红色，增添独特而优雅的视觉亮点。

Beyond urban planning and exterior architecture, the project offers refined interior design carried through to the finest details. Each unit features a personalized touch, reflected in the material and color selection:
·Custom kitchen islands by Appareil in white oak, walnut, or colored metal
·Individually styled bathrooms with varying ceramic treatments
·Carefully framed windows at the rear elevation to enhance natural light In the central courtyard, glass blocks preserve privacy while diffusing soft, ambient light. This avoids direct sightlines while maximizing light throughout the project’s core. The double-height red base in the courtyard reflects light, enlivens the communal spaces, and gives structure to the shared environment. The staircase, clad in a sophisticated and cheerful burgundy, adds a refined, distinctive accent.

生活质量与可持续承诺
Quality of Life and Sustainable Commitment

Binome不只是外观美观，其核心理念是关注生活质量与可持续性。穿透式户型促进自然通风，绿化采光井与屋顶花园提升了底层空间的环境品质。柔和明亮的内部色调营造出宁静氛围。建筑遵循环保理念：斜坡绿屋顶有助于雨水管理、生物多样性维护与降低城市热岛效应。

Binome is not merely aesthetically appealing—it prioritizes quality of life and sustainability at its core. Designed for maximum comfort, the through-units promote natural ventilation, while the inclusion of planted lightwells and green roofs enhance garden-level spaces. Soft and luminous interior tones create serene atmospheres throughout. The architecture follows an eco-conscious approach: sloped green roofs support rainwater management, biodiversity, and heat island reduction in dense urban settings.

“我们希望创造一个独特又美好的东西，能积极影响周边街区。而Appareil Architecture团队一开始就完全理解并支持这个愿景，好像这个项目天生就符合他们的设计理念。” —— 共同业主Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse。

“We wanted to create something unique and beautiful that would positively impact the neighborhood. The Appareil Architecture team immediately embraced our vision, as though the project was already aligned with their design philosophy”, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, co-owner of Binome.

最后，项目特别设计了景观方案，邀请可食植物专家参与，旨在提升城市生态多样性，同时为居民营造一处城市中心的绿意空间。Binome 勇敢回应当代城市生活需求，同时延续了邻里的历史文化。通过优化被低效利用的地块，引入自然光与通风策略，并在各个层面融合可持续性设计，这一项目成为温和增密的典范，展现出以人为本、充满创新精神的集体住宅模式，真正丰富了城市建成环境的可能性。

Lastly, the project features a carefully curated landscape design, developed with specialists in edible plantings, aiming to enhance urban biodiversity and provide residents with a lush green environment—right in the heart of the city. Binome rises to the challenge of responding to contemporary urban living needs while preserving neighborhood heritage. By optimizing an underutilized site, embracing natural light and cross- ventilation, and integrating sustainability strategies at every level, the project serves as a model for thoughtful urban renewal. It proves that well-considered gentle densification can enrich the built environment and offer high-quality collective living through innovative, people-centered design.
