과거와 현재, 그리고 미래를 한자리에 공존시키다.
나란히 강을 바라다 보며 두개의 건축물은 자리한다.
하나는 과거의 모습을 -돌로 이루어진 박공지붕형태- 고스란히 간직한
고풍스러운 주거의 모습으로, 또다른 하나는 현대적인 거주공간이
연출된 모던한 건축공간으로 자리한다.
이러한 극적인 대비감은 상반된 두개의 시간을 한자리에 공존시키는
건축 디자인으로 상이한 재료, 시간, 공간, 볼륨을 병렬로
접합 연속시킨다.
그리고 시간에 반응하는 코르텐 스틸의 물성은
이중적인 -과거와 현재를 연결하는- 특성으로 두 건축물을
버퍼하며 연결한다.

The original structure once belonged to the Hudson Bay Company and had
the main entrance facing the river, where the old road was situated.
Over time, a new road was built on the back side of the house, which now
became the front.

The program required sheltering four generations: the great grandfather, the grandparents and the children in the old house, and the parents in the addition.
This led to the idea of drawing a parallel between the multi-generational component of the program and the fact that a contemporary project would be built alongside a historical house. In this manner, the design expresses the passage of time. The strategy defined itself as a contemporary project contrasting the existing stone house, yet having an obvious relationship to the ancestral home. This idea extended to the way the spaces are defined, as two double height living rooms are at opposite ends, one in each volume, linked by a path highlighted by a bridge linking the old house to the new volume.
