A cantilevered upper storey with symmetrical, glazed dormers is the focal point of House on 36th, which Beebe Skidmore has completed for a young family relocating to Portland, USA.
The sculptural dwelling overhauls an existing one-story cottage on the site that was built in 1945 but required a contemporary update and more space to meet the needs of the family.
Beebe Skidmore’s design involved introducing an upper storey and brighter living spaces to the house but focused primarily on developing a new “unexpected” exterior that challenged the aesthetic of typical family homes in the area.
House的重點是一座懸挑的上層樓，上面有對稱的玻璃天窗，第36棟樓的重點是Beebe Skidmore為搬遷到美國波特蘭的一個年輕家庭所完成的。
這座雕塑般的住宅大修了該遺址上現有的一層小別墅，該別墅建於1945年，但需要進行當代更新，並需要更多空間來滿足家庭的需求。
Beebe Skidmore的設計涉及為房屋引入較高的樓層和更明亮的居住空間，但主要致力於開發一種新的“出乎意料”的外觀，該外觀挑戰了該地區典型家庭住宅的美學。
“We approach every project with the intention of making an unexpected, dynamic, and endearing shape that catches the eye of passersby and is delightful to live in overtime,” explained the studio’s co-founder Doug Skidmore.
“We also wanted to challenge the traditional way in which single-family houses present a centralized composition, often with a projecting porch or front door being the focal point,” he told Dezeen.
該工作室的聯合創始人道格•斯基德莫爾（Doug Skidmore）解釋道：“我們處理每個項目的目的都是為了創造一種意想不到的，動態的，討人喜歡的形狀，以吸引路人的眼球，並樂於加班。
他告訴Dezeen：“我們還想挑戰傳統的方式，即單戶住宅呈現集中的結構，通常以突出的門廊或前門為中心。”
House on 36th retains the original cottage’s concrete basement and foundations, as well as parts of its wood framing and plumbing.
The new cantilevered first floor, which overhangs the front of the house by 2.5 metres, was modelled on the North American garrison – a type of house with a slightly overhanging first floor.
This added more living space to the house without encroaching on the garden, and it also breaks up its building’s massing so that it does not appear out of scale in comparison to the neighbouring dwellings.
36號房屋保留了原始小屋的混凝土地下室和地基，以及部分木框架和水暖管道。
新的懸臂式第一層懸於房屋前部2.5米處，以北美駐軍為原型，這是一種房屋，其第一層略有懸垂。
這為房屋增加了更多的居住空間，而又沒有侵占花園，並且還破壞了建築物的體積，因此與相鄰房屋相比，它不會顯得過大。
The blackened wood cladding for the house was chosen by Beebe Skidmore to emphasise the home’s sculptural form, while also helping to unify the levels and metal window frames.
This wood was stained rather than painted so that its natural textures and patterns are still visible.
Beebe Skidmore選擇了用於房屋的發黑木質外牆，以強調房屋的雕塑形式，同時還有助於統一水平和金屬窗框。
這種木頭是染色的，而不是畫出來的，因此仍然可以看到其自然的紋理和圖案。
“We created a material palette that puts the visual emphasis on the total form as one cohesive object rather drawing attention to individual details and elements,” explained Skidmore.
“The dark exterior colour also makes the voids formed by the big windows visually pop, especially in the evening and at night.”
The house is entered from below one of the first-floor cantilevers, which creates a deep weather-protected porch area.
This opens out into the heart of the house, where there is a large open-plan living area and kitchen, which is visually connected to the street, garden and first floor via a sweeping staircase.
斯基德莫爾解釋說：“我們創造了一種材料調色板，將視覺重點放在整體上作為一個凝聚力的對象，而不是將注意力放在單個細節和元素上。”
“深色的外表顏色還使大窗戶形成的空隙在視覺上可以看見，特別是在晚上和晚上。”
房屋是從一樓懸臂的下面進入的，這形成了一個深層的防風雨門廊區域。
它通向房屋的中心，那裡有一個大型的開放式起居區和廚房，通過掃樓梯在視覺上與街道，花園和二樓相連。
“[The client] is an avid cook so they wanted a really functional and generous kitchen that they could eat in and live in by themselves and with friends,” Skidmore said.
“When they were in the kitchen, they wanted it to feel socially connected to the rest of the house.”
斯基德莫爾說：“（客戶）是一個狂熱的廚師，所以他們想要一個功能齊全，大方的廚房，以便他們自己和與朋友一起吃飯和居住。”
“當他們在廚房裡時，他們希望它能與房子的其餘部分保持社交聯繫。”
The house also contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, first-floor seating areas and a bike store at the rear.
The children’s bedrooms are located behind the two large wall dormers on the first floor, which are used as cosy reading nooks, while the master suite is tucked away downstairs.
房屋還包括三間臥室，兩間浴室，一樓的休息區以及位於後方的自行車商店。
孩子們的臥室位於二樓的兩個大牆屋頂窗的後面，用作舒適的閱讀角，而主人套房則藏在樓下。
The material palette for House on 36th is deliberately pared-back, with a white “gallery-like” aesthetic chosen by the client that contrasts with its exterior.
However, to enliven the minimalist finishes, Beebe Skidmore has punctured large windows throughout to maximise natural light and also frame changing views of the surrounding neighbourhood.
房子在36號的材料調色板經過了精心的削減，客戶選擇了白色的“類似畫廊”的美學設計，與外觀形成鮮明對比。
然而，為了使極簡主義的裝飾更加生動，Beebe Skidmore刺穿了整個大窗戶，以最大程度地利用自然光，並為周圍的鄰里構築變化多端的景觀。
Other recent projects by Beebe Skidmore that feature large windows include the Lincoln Street Residence extension, which is fronted by a grid of glazing and sliding doors, and a dark green dwelling that takes cues from Arts and Crafts architecture.
Canadian studio Post Architecture recently added a protruding window box to a century-old brick house during a renovation of the property near downtown Toronto.

Beebe Skidmore最近進行的其他一些具有大窗戶的項目包括林肯街住宅擴建部分，其前面是一扇玻璃窗和滑動門，以及一個深綠色的住宅，其靈感來自手工藝建築。
加拿大工作室Post Architecture最近在多倫多市中心附近的房產翻新過程中，為一座百年曆史的磚房增加了一個凸出的窗框。
