项目为一栋双层半独立式住宅，它位于一排战后联排建筑之间。该住宅的所有者是一对年轻夫妇，对他们来说，原有的空间布局并不能满足他们当下的生活需求。原有的居住空间黑暗又封闭，位于原住宅后方的隔热温室较居住平面高出三级台阶，且条件简陋。
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.

设计师将前侧空间用作自行车停放处，避免了自行车在住宅中的穿行。改造后的入口区域嵌入了新的长椅，并在其下设置了鞋柜。隐藏在墙壁里的防火门是平面布局中的仅有障碍。客厅空间维持在住宅前侧不变。原住宅废弃掉的壁炉被拆除并由一个双向开放的窗口替代，厨房与客厅经由此处获得对视关系。
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.

底层遮挡浴室空间的隔墙亦是猫咪游走的小径，居住者的两只猫咪借由此处穿行在住宅之中。厨房区域较该平面内其他空间向下沉，营造了空间上的分隔感受。抛光混凝土表面反射自然光线，让空间更显明亮。操作台一侧的长桌可以根据需要拉出或隐藏，为厨房工作提供更为灵活的组织形式。
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.

与厨房相邻的休做空间为居住者提供了临时茶饮居所。它与该平面其他区域连通，可用作多种使用功能。该多功能区域与厨房并行连通户外露台，两扇巨大的滑动门时刻开启室内外的互动关系。此外，设计师还为该多功能区加建了绿色屋顶和采光天窗。该设计最与众不同之处在于设计师并未严格按照空间功能来设计，而是根据使用者的空间需求和空间特征，为居住生活创造无限可能。
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.
