MELLEM Les Trembles 由 ACDF Architecture 与 Maître Carré 紧密合作开发,其最突出的特质在于一种“平衡的艺术”——在当今语境下愈发重要的建筑“剂量感”。在环境挑战与资源受限的背景下,“以更少实现更多”已演变为一种真正的设计哲学:创造既负责任、又富有表达力与意义的建筑。在此项目中,扎根性、耐久性与舒适性的平衡不仅体现在独特的建筑语言之中,也通过对“适度”的持续追求得以呈现——在克制与表现的丰富之间,在建造效率与空间慷慨之间取得平衡。

 

Developed through a close collaboration between ACDF Architecture and Maître Carré, MELLEM Les Trembles stands out first and foremost through the art of balance — a form of architectural “dosage” that has become essential in today’s context. At a time when environmental challenges and limited resources demand that we do more with less, this approach has evolved into a genuine philosophy: creating architecture that is at once responsible, expressive, and meaningful. Here, the balance between rootedness, longevity, and comfort is not only expressed through a distinctive architectural signature, but also through a deliberate pursuit of measured equilibrium — between restraint and richness of expression, between constructive efficiency and spatial generosity.

MELLEM Les Trembles 忠实体现了 ACDF 的设计理念:以沉静的力量表达建筑,同时强调手段的节制,使每一个设计动作都精确且有意义。项目包含189套租赁住宅,从单间到五居室不等,其一大特点是在首层集中设置大部分公共空间,并直接与城市界面互动。这一策略体现了创造交流与连接空间的愿望,使建筑成为社区生成的催化剂。项目并未将居民隔离于个体化的居住模式之中,而是强调“我们”胜于“我”,凸显多户居住的集体价值。

 

MELLEM Les Trembles faithfully embodies ACDF Architecture’s philosophy: creating architecture that asserts itself with quiet strength while privileging sobriety of means, ensuring that each gesture is both measured and purposeful. Comprising 189 rental units — from studios to five-bedroom apartments — the project distinguishes itself through the deliberate decision to locate most of the common areas on the ground floor, directly engaging with the city. This gesture reflects a desire to create spaces for connection and exchange, where architecture becomes a catalyst for community. Rather than isolating residents within an individualistic housing model, the project celebrates the “we” over the “I”, emphasizing the collective value of multifamily living.

首层因此成为一个真正“被居住的界面”,既为公共空间注入活力,也增强居民的归属。在这一理念下,首层拱廊成为项目最具标志性的建筑表达。它既体现了建筑对场地的扎根,也承载了设计者希望营造的居住感知维度。外部具有柔和的纪念性,内部则呈现亲切的尺度与包裹感,拱券成为连接、汇聚并滋养共同生活理念的空间媒介。

 

The ground floor thus acts as a true inhabited threshold, a lively space that contributes to the vibrancy of the public realm, while fostering a sense of belonging among residents. In this spirit, the ground-floor arches form the project’s defining architectural gesture. They express both the building’s rootedness in its site, and the sensory dimension of dwelling that the architects and the developer sought to create. With their soft monumentality on the exterior, and human-scaled, enveloping presence within, the arches embody an architecture that connects, gathers, and nourishes the idea of living together.

拱形几何通过一系列曲线延展至整体体量之中。这些流动的线条塑造出独特轮廓,红白砖之间的过渡如同高级定制中的精致缝线,将建筑各部分缝合为一体。这一形象在城市尺度上确立了建筑的存在感,同时在街道层面保持细腻的人性尺度。错落的阳台为立面注入质感、节奏与活力,传达出内部生活的能量。垂直墙体的突出进一步强化构图,通过深度与阴影的变化营造出富有绘画感的空间效果,在街区尺度上亦清晰可感。

 

The arched geometry extends through a series of curves integrated into the building’s overall volume. These flowing lines define a distinctive silhouette, where transitions between red and white brick read like a fine seam in couture, stitching together the project’s various components. This distinctive profile asserts the building’s presence at the scale of the city, while maintaining a refined human intimacy at street level. Staggered balconies introduce texture, rhythm, and vitality to the façades, conveying the energy of the living environment within. Perpendicular wall projections frame these compositions, creating a dynamic interplay of depth and shadow that gives the project a painterly dimension, perceptible even at the neighborhood scale.

室内公共空间同样延续整体的平衡理念。拱券延伸至内部,划分出更为亲密的主题空间,并串联起一条纵向的空间漫步路径,将共享办公区、公共厨房与健身房连接起来。浅色、具有反射性的墙面增强自然采光,而深色天花则吸纳外露的设备元素(通风、照明),体现一种节制与经济的设计策略。整体空间温暖、功能明确且尺度得当,与项目理念高度一致。

 

Inside, ACDF designed the common areas with the same sense of balance that defines the project as a whole. The arches extend inward, shaping more intimate thematic zones while punctuating a longitudinal promenade that connects, end to end, the co-working space and communal kitchen to the gym. Light-toned, reflective walls enhance natural illumination, while a dark ceiling absorbs exposed technical elements — ventilation, lighting — in a gesture of frugality and economy of means. The result is a space that feels warm, functional, and carefully measured, fully aligned with the project’s design philosophy.

在空间核心,一部与主入口对齐的宏大楼梯通向休息区,并连接至位于首层停车之上的室外庭院。建筑顺应场地自然坡度,底层设置停车空间,容纳大部分375个自行车位,并配备20个电动车充电桩,鼓励绿色出行。

 

At the heart of the composition, a grand staircase aligned with the main entrance leads to a lounge area that opens onto an outdoor courtyard, landscaped above the first parking level. Nestled within the natural slope of the site, the lower portion of the building houses the first level of parking, which accommodates most of the 375 bicycle spaces, promoting active transportation, along with 20 electric vehicle charging stations.

这一对可持续交通的重视体现了开发方的责任愿景,使 MELLEM Les Trembles 成为一种集体化、可适应且具环境意识的城市居住范例。通过材料的运用、拱券空间、流动曲线、平衡的室内设计以及充满活力的公共空间,项目呈现出一种持久而独特的城市建筑——克制而富有表现力,开放且具有公共性,为居民提供真正的城市栖居之所,同时提升加蒂诺的建筑景观。

 

This focus on sustainable mobility reflects the developer’s responsible vision, positioning MELLEM Les Trembles as a model for urban living that is collective, adaptable, and environmentally conscious. With its interplay of materials, welcoming arches, fluid curves, balanced interiors, and vibrant communal spaces, MELLEM Les Trembles exemplifies a distinctive and enduring urban architecture — sober yet expressive, inviting and collective, offering its residents a true urban refuge while enhancing Gatineau’s architectural landscape.

建筑采用围绕西向花园展开的C形布局,在不依赖过高建筑高度的前提下,实现合理密度与场地潜力的最大化。项目表明,经过精心构成的建筑同样可以实现高质量的密度,并对周边环境产生积极影响。通过平衡的建筑构成与高效的用地策略,项目实现了良好的经济性能,使资源能够投入到更有价值的部分——如高品质公共空间、耐久材料以及促进社区生活的共享空间。

 

The C-shaped configuration of the building, organized around a west-facing garden, optimizes the site’s potential and achieves a balanced density without relying on excessive height. MELLEM Les Trembles demonstrates that a well-composed architecture can achieve meaningful levels of density while contributing positively to the quality of the environments it inhabits. By combining a finely balanced architectural composition with an efficient use of the site, the project achieves a level of financial performance sufficient to allow for more — and better. Rather than seeking profit at the expense of quality, this approach makes it possible to reinvest where the impact is most meaningful — in the quality of common areas, the durability of materials, and the creation of shared spaces that nurture community life.

该项目证明,当密度与经济性以理性与敏感的方式处理时,可以成为塑造低环境负担的集体居住模式的有力工具——一种强调共享、邻近与城市生活品质的居住方式。

 

The project illustrates that density and financial viability, when approached with intelligence and sensitivity, can become powerful levers for creating collective habitats with a smaller environmental footprint — homes that celebrate sharing, proximity, and urban quality of life.
