建造商：Powers Construction

East Van住宅是由Splyce Design在2013年設計的私人住宅。建筑以不對稱幾何造型為主，能滿足區域分區需求。天花板的天窗尺度和位置能引入自然光線到住宅北部，并隔絕了來自鄰居的視線。側窗面朝街道，窗戶尺度較小，能保證隱私性。而加闊的主樓梯處的低窗，經過仔細校準，能直接看到毗鄰的圖書館。

主樓層自東往西被連續的臺階和壁爐將廚房、飯廳與起居室劃分開。南側，一道滑動玻璃門將空間延伸到陽臺和花園，室內外沒有清晰的界限。同樣，主浴室的滑動玻璃門則將衛浴空間延伸到私密的、雪松木貼墻的陽臺，營造水療般的體驗效果。（來源：Archdaily  文字翻譯：筑龍網-艾比）

From the architect. The East Van House is located on an atypical 50′ x 75′ lot with no lane access (compared to the standard 33′ x 120′ lot) that backs onto a schoolyard. The neighborhood is eclectic and colorful, with streetscapes that reflect the diversity of the community and its inhabitants.

The house is designed with a dominant asymmetrical geometry to comply with the prescriptive zoning requirements for the area, while also providing space for the tall, main stair volume that rises 26 feet from floor to the peak of the ceiling. Skylights above are sized and located to avoid views to either neighbor and allow natural light to penetrate deep into the northern part of the house. Windows on this side face the street and are decidedly small to ensure privacy. A low window, at the widened main floor stair landing, is carefully calibrated so one sitting in the adjoining library can gain discreet views out.

While the two bedroom house is tailored for a single professional, it includes room to grow on the upper floor, where an open office is roughed-in for a bathroom and planned for an easy conversion to a third bedroom.

The main floor is bisected from east to west with a continuous line of steps and fireplace, separating the kitchen and dining from the living area. To the south, a wall of sliding glass doors extends the space onto the deck and garden, and erodes any clear division between the interior and exterior. Similarly, sliding glass doors in the master bathroom extend the shower and tub space onto a private, cedar-screened deck, enhancing the spa-like experience.

A simple interior palette of materials and white walls allow for dynamic plays of light and shadow throughout the day- continual sources of inspiration and comfort for the client.
