In a post-pandemic environment, the homeowners, a professional couple, experienced changing lifestyles that led to several needs and wants. They needed a much better work from home office away from their basement to suite their now hybrid jobs several days a week. They needed a new garage to replace a crumbling shed dating from the 1920s. Avid road-warrior bicycle enthusiasts, they wanted a bike repair workbench area. They wanted space to store their children’s scooters and various household items, host birthday parties and barbeques, have a better backyard garden and outdoor seating area.
在大流行后的环境中，房主是一对职业夫妇，他们经历了生活方式的变化，这导致了一些需求和愿望。他们需要在远离地下室的家庭办公室进行更好的工作，以适应他们现在每周几天的混合工作。他们需要一个新车库来取代可追溯到 1920 年代的摇摇欲坠的棚子。狂热的公路战士自行车爱好者，他们想要一个自行车维修工作台区。他们想要空间来存放孩子的滑板车和各种家居用品，举办生日派对和烧烤，拥有更好的后院花园和户外休息区。
One half of the homeowner couple, an architect at a large Toronto firm and parent of young kids, had scant time with which to design and oversee the project, but still weighed in with design commentary much more than the average client. JC-A helped coalesce these varied goals into an elegant design vision with thorough details and attention to materials. We helped take the project through the design phase and municipal approvals and through the construction phase. It was a wonderful collaboration.
这对房主夫妇中有一半是多伦多一家大型公司的建筑师和年幼孩子的父母，他们几乎没有时间来设计和监督项目，但仍然比普通客户更多地参与设计评论。JC-A 帮助将这些不同的目标融合成一个优雅的设计愿景，具有详尽的细节和对材料的关注。我们帮助该项目通过了设计阶段和市政审批以及施工阶段。这是一次美妙的合作。
A larger implication for this project is that a 'home occupation' use is currently prohibited in Toronto's Zoning By-Law. We had to apply to the Committee of Adjustment to allow for a professional home office use which, in a post-pandemic world, is very desirable and pragmatic for many of us.
该项目的更大影响是，多伦多的分区附则目前禁止“家庭占用”用途。我们不得不向调整委员会申请，以允许专业的家庭办公室使用，这在大流行后的世界中，对我们许多人来说是非常可取和务实的。

The home office is in a dedicated room with a built-in desk with built-in shelving, hard-wire internet connection and view to a lovely backyard garden and the main house beyond.
家庭办公室位于一个专门的房间里，房间里有一张带内置书架的书桌，硬线互联网连接，可以看到美丽的后院花园和远处的主屋。
The bike repair workshop consists of a stainless steel workbench with integrated mop sink and metal tool cabinet. A space-rail hanging bike-rack is installed over the workbench. Shelving is suspended over the folding glass doors and garage doors for bike helmets and other items.
自行车维修车间由一个不锈钢工作台、集成拖把水槽和金属工具柜组成。工作台上方安装了一个空间轨道悬挂式自行车架。搁板悬挂在折叠玻璃门和车库门上，用于存放自行车头盔和其他物品。
The garage is equipped with an electric vehicle charger and wifi-enable door opener.
车库配备了电动汽车充电器和支持 wifi 的开门器。
Users love the project, and the two homeowners are fighting over who gets to use the office in their weekly schedules.
用户喜欢这个项目，两位房主正在争夺谁可以在他们的每周时间表中使用办公室。
Neighbours have offered wonderful compliments. One neighbour has inquired about the project with a potential eye to doing something similar.
邻居们都给予了极好的赞美。一位邻居询问了这个项目，可能打算做类似的事情。
The biggest challenge was simply that the home occupation office use was not allowed in the Toronto Zoning By-Law as-of-right. We had to seek approval at the Committee of Adjustment through a hearing.
最大的挑战是多伦多分区附则不允许使用家庭占用办公室。我们不得不通过听证会向调整委员会寻求批准。
