項目為一棟雙層半獨立式住宅，它位於一排戰後聯排建築之間。該住宅的所有者是一對年輕夫婦，對他們來說，原有的空間佈局並不能滿足他們當下的生活需求。原有的居住空間黑暗又封閉，位於原住宅後方的隔熱溫室較居住平面高出三級臺階，且條件簡陋。
The property is a two storey semi-detached house post war construction in the middle of a row of terrace houses. Our clients, a young couple, came to us to redesign the ground floor as the previous layout was not suitable for their style of living. The areas were dark and segregated and they ended up not using them at all. The house had previously a rear poorly made and non-insulated conservatory raised three steps from the rear garden, and a rear extension with ancillary spaces.

設計師將前側空間用作自行車停放處，避免了自行車在住宅中的穿行。改造後的入口區域嵌入了新的長椅，並在其下設置了鞋櫃。隱藏在牆壁裡的防火門是平面佈局中的僅有障礙。客廳空間維持在住宅前側不變。原住宅廢棄掉的壁爐被拆除並由一個雙向開放的窗口替代，廚房與客廳經由此處獲得對視關係。
We used the front side area for bicycle storage so that they would not pass the bikes through the house. The entrance space got redesigned to allow for a built in bench with shoe storage underneath. A hidden-when-open fire door creates the only barrier with the rest of the ground floor open plan. The reception area remained at the front of the house. The wall next to the previously non-functional fireplace got demolished to allow for passage and view to the kitchen. The fireplace got replaced with a two sided ”window” fireplace to allow both the reception area and the kitchen to benefit from it.

底層遮擋浴室空間的隔牆亦是貓咪遊走的小徑，居住者的兩隻貓咪藉由此處穿行在住宅之中。廚房區域較該平面內其他空間向下沉，營造了空間上的分隔感受。拋光混凝土表面反射自然光線，讓空間更顯明亮。操作檯一側的長桌可以根據需要拉出或隱藏，為廚房工作提供更為靈活的組織形式。
A single wall division provides privacy for the shower room area on the ground floor and at the same time acts as a catwalk on the top for the couple’s two cats with access from the main staircase going up. The kitchen floor is lowered to allow for a mental separation from the rest of the areas and its polished concrete with the reflective surface adds to the ambient light. A central island provides some additional work space and flexibility for the rest of the space as the kitchen table can slide and hide in it.

與廚房相鄰的休做空間為居住者提供了臨時茶飲居所。它與該平面其他區域連通，可用作多種使用功能。該多功能區域與廚房並行連通戶外露臺，兩扇巨大的滑動門時刻開啟室內外的互動關係。此外，設計師還為該多功能區加建了綠色屋頂和採光天窗。該設計最與眾不同之處在於設計師並未嚴格按照空間功能來設計，而是根據使用者的空間需求和空間特徵，為居住生活創造無限可能。
A newly created space next to the kitchen is being used as a Japanese style seating/ work area a bit more isolated from the rest of the areas but directly connected at the same time and can also assume various uses. This seating area and the kitchen have now direct connection to the garden with two large sliding folding doors. The new extension incorporates a green roof and a large skylight above the seating area. The most important: The way we designed it is not about something in specific- it comes from clients brief about space- every project has its own element. We made a non-usable space into a client’s lifestyle.
