不蜗居 No Snail living

房子已有30多年的历史,是一梯10户的塔楼,每层楼的房屋围绕着一个天井排开,公共空间非常局促,而且全都是单面采光。53 ㎡的面积,甚至没有客厅,厨房卫生间狭小昏暗,是一个真正意义的「老破小」。这里是女主人长大的地方,许多的成长记忆都 与这座房子息息相关。源于学区房的属性,加之屋主对房屋的深厚情感,她和丈夫决定带着女儿从郊区的大房子搬到这个小房子 里,开启一家三口自由舒适的新生活,改造就显得尤为重要。 

The house is more than 30 years old, is a tower building with 10 units on one floor, each floor of the house is lined up around a patio, the public  space is very limited, and all are single-sided lighting. Although it has an area of 53 square meters, there is still not even a living room. What's  more, the kitchen and bathroom are not only small but also dark, it is a real sense of ‘old,dilapidated,and small’.This is where the lady  grew up and has many childhood memories associated with this house. Due to the attributes of the school district and the owner have a deep  affection for the house, the lady and her husband eventually decided to move from their large house in the suburbs to this small house with their  daughter to start a new life of freedom and comfort for their family of three. Therefore, there is no doubt that fitment is extremely important. 

 

我们根据老屋改动的可能性出了6版平面规划,逐一进行生活方式的讨论,最终定下了最大胆的一版,需要移位马桶,对于老房 改造来说,技术和施工上也是难度最大的一版。我们和马桶厂家以及施工团队反复沟通讨论,确认可行性,最终打造了最开阔的 公区,厨房开放、客餐厅一体……屋主想要的美好尽都实现,连邻居都表示想抄作业。项目施工的时候,邻居们经常讨论「这 么个房子,怎么值得你们花这些心思去改造」,完工后邻居大妈进来参观了一圈,问了设计费,表示想做一个一模一样的设计 设计改变了生活态度,这让我觉得一切折腾都值得。 

We provided six plans based on the possibility of changes to the old house for the house owner, and we discussed these designs one by one about  lifestyle. The boldest version was finally settled on, which required the displacement of the toilet. The technical and construction difficulties were  also great for an old house to remodel. We communicated and discussed with the toilet manufacturer and the construction team several times to  confirm the feasibility. In the end, we created the most open common area with an open kitchen and an integrated living and dining room ......  The homeowner's ideas were realized as much as possible, and even the neighbors wanted to follow suit.When the project was being constructed,  the neighbors often discussed "such a house, why is it worth all this effort for you to remodel it", and when it was completed one of the neighbors  came in for a tour and asked about the design fee, saying she wanted to do the same design . The design changed the attitude of life, which  made me feel that it was worth all the effort.
