Bay-and-gable (original) (raw)
The bay-and-gable is a distinct residential architectural style that is ubiquitous with the older portions of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The most prominent feature of the style is a large bay window that usually covers more than half the front façade of the home, surmounted by a gable roof. The bay window typically extends from the ground level towards the roof, although a variant of the housing form exists where the bay window fronts only the first level; known as a half-bay-and-gable. The housing form may be built as a stand-alone structure, although it is more often built as a semi-detached, or as terraced houses.

| dbo:abstract | The bay-and-gable is a distinct residential architectural style that is ubiquitous with the older portions of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The most prominent feature of the style is a large bay window that usually covers more than half the front façade of the home, surmounted by a gable roof. The bay window typically extends from the ground level towards the roof, although a variant of the housing form exists where the bay window fronts only the first level; known as a half-bay-and-gable. The housing form may be built as a stand-alone structure, although it is more often built as a semi-detached, or as terraced houses. The form emerged during the 1860s, with architects adopting elements commonly associated with English villas and Gothic-styled buildings due to their popularity with local residents during that period. As the city underwent significant population growth in the latter half of the 19th century, scaled versions of the bay-and-gable design were built by developers as they proved to be efficient housing forms that could be built at a pace that kept up with Toronto's population growth. The housing form was also popular amongst homeowners who sought more ornamentations on their homes, with the gables and large windows providing areas that could be decorated with minimal investment. A large number of bay-and-gable homes were built until the late 1890s, when it was supplanted by other housing styles. The housing form has re-emerged in the late-20th and early 21st century, with several residential developments within the city and the Greater Toronto Area being infilled with bay-and-gable variants. (en) Bay-and-gable est le nom d'un type de maison omniprésent dans les vieux quartiers de Toronto. L'une des caractéristiques architecturales principales de ces bâtisses est la fenêtre en saillie (en anglais bay window) qui couvre plus de la moitié de la façade avant, surmontée d'un pignon pointu. Construites le plus souvent en brique rouge, les maisons de style bay-and-gable comportent généralement un ou deux étages. Ce type de maison a été extrêmement populaire à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle à Toronto. On en trouve encore de nombreuses dans les zones historiques de quartiers tels que Cabbagetown ou Little Italy. (fr) Lo stile bay-and-gable è uno stile architettonico tipico delle aree meridionali della provincia canadese dell'Ontario ed in particolar modo dei quartieri più antichi della sua capitale, Toronto. La sua caratteristica più evidente è la grande finestra a golfo che solitamente occupa più della metà del fronte dell'edificio sormontata da una ghimberga. La classica casa bay-and-gable si presenta come un edificio bifamiliare in mattoni rossi alto due piani più quello mansardato, sebbene ne esistano diverse varianti. Si tratta dello stile in cui vennero edificate la maggior parte delle abitazioni di Toronto tra la fine del XIX e l'inizio del XX secolo. Le aree più antiche della città come la sua Little Italy e Cabbagetown presentano ancora oggi centinaia di edifici in stile bay-and-gable. Lo stile si adattava bene alla configurazione urbana a ai gusti degli abitanti di Toronto. La vecchia Toronto era infatti caratterizzata da lotti molto lunghi e stretti, generalmente di soli 6,1 m di larghezza. L'alta e stretta casa bay-and-gable, dunque, rispondeva perfettamente alle problematiche dettate da queste caratteristiche. Alti soffitti e grandi finestre, inoltre, permettevano alla luce di penetrare in profondità negli ambienti dell'edificio. Per quanto riguarda lo stile delle abitazioni bay-and-gable, esso risulta essere, nell’ambito del più ampio contesto dello stile vittoriano, una combinazione di stile neogotico e stile italianeggiante. I ripidi tetti e le nette linee verticali dello stile bay-and-gable imitavano lo stile gotico in una maniera tale che fosse economicamente accessibile alla classe media. Tuttavia, per quanti volessero una maggiore presenza di ornamenti, sia le ghimberghe che le ampie finestre rappresentavano aree che potessero essere più dettagliatamente eleborate. (it) |
