架构师提供的文本描述。业主余先生过去常和祖父母和家人一起住在这所房子里。那是充满美好回忆的地方。几年过去了，余先生决定和他的母亲和妻子一起搬回房子。经过不断的讨论和观察整个环境，我们得出了三个要点：斯堪的纳维亚风格，储存功能以及光。由于余氏家族希望在北欧美学的基础上进行装修，所以大部分室内装饰都是以浅色色调进行，包括白墙、橡木、山毛榉木、浅灰色橱柜等。这是一个解决办法，同时通过明亮的灯光和椅子的颜色来增强活泼的气氛。

Text description provided by the architects. The owner Mr. Yu used to live in this house with grandparents and families back in childhood. It is where being filled with gracious memories. Years gone by, Mr. Yu decided to move back to the house with his mother and wife. After continual discussion with the couple and observing the entire environment, we came up with three major points: Scandinavian style, storage function as well as light. Since the Yu family wished their refurbishment based on Nordic aesthetic, keeping most interiors in a light tone including white walls, oak, and beech wood, light grey cabinet, etc. was one solution, in the meanwhile enhancing the lively ambiance through vibrant colors of lightings and chairs.

对于30多年来的老房子来说，它的优势在于大多数台湾老建筑都缺乏自然光。因此，设计理念基本上围绕着灯光。当您站在入口处时，机柜中的嵌入式线性LED灯将引领您使用明亮且宽阔的开放式房间，通过不可见的分隔将其区分为小部分。在沙发的一侧是一个娱乐区域，家庭通常在那里度过闲暇时间。如果有人过夜的话，这个空间很快就会变成一个小小的客房。此外，考虑到105平方米的住房将用于三个人及其未来的子女，因此，储存是需要认真和全面的计划的一个至关重要的问题。

For an aged house over 30 years, it owns an advantage that most Taiwanese old buildings are lacking - natural light. Therefore, the designing concept is basically around the light. When you stand at the entrance, the embedded linear led-light in the cabinet takes the lead to welcome you with a bright and broad open room, which is distinguished into small section by invisible separations. On one side of the couch is a recreation area, where the family usually spend their leisure time. If someone stays overnight, this space will instantly become a tiny guest room. Moreover, considering the 105sqm-house is going to be for three people and their future children, storage was a crucial concern in need of a careful and comprehensive plan.

我们增加了这个区域的高度和一些机械部件，从而创造了额外的方法，使他们能够保持日常物品，甚至是一张麻将桌而没有被看到。余太太梦想着在设备齐全的厨房里做饭，做饭多年。这也是我们看重的东西，因为我们希望这个地方能把每个人都连接在家里。不像一般的安排，厨房里没有餐桌，但是一个大的厨房小岛约240厘米。它满足了他们对烹调部分、餐饮、工作以及保持厨房电器的期望。

We increased the height of this area along with some mechanical parts, so as to create extra approaches allowing them to keep daily objects, even a Mahjong table without being seen. Mrs. Yu has dreamed about making doughs and cooking cuisines in a well-equipped kitchen for many years. It is also something we valued a lot because we want this place will connect everyone in the house. Unlike a general arrangement, there is no dining table in the kitchen but a large kitchen island sizing about 240cm. It meets their expectations of a cooking section, dining, working as well as keeping kitchen appliances.

在设计过程中，我们最初的想法是避免任何不适当的材料阻挡房间的宽敞视野，并且因为它，我们在厨房和阳台之间使用了一个滑动玻璃门。无论是否公开，都不会对使用造成任何失望。卫生间的瓷砖是本项目最喜欢的部分之一。我们将图案穿过墙壁延伸到地面的方式带来了令人着迷和更广泛的效果。这座房子和余裕一起长大，现在又和他一起打开下一章了。从忙碌的工作回来后，他就可以在沙发上做饭或躺在沙发上，一边喝着一杯红酒，一边在周末用阳光淋浴。他所希望的都是一种全新的生活。有什么比那更刺激吗？

During the design process, our initial idea was to avoid any inappropriate material to block the spacious vision of the room, and because of it, we used a slide glass door in between of kitchen and balcony. Whether open or not won't lead to any disappointment with use. The tiles in the toilet are one of our favorite parts of this project. The way we extended the pattern through a wall to the ground brings a fascinating and wider effect. This house grew with Mr. Yu once, and now it is going to open the next chapter with him again.  After getting back from busy work, he can enjoy cooking or laying on the couch and sipping a glass of wine with Mrs. Yu; treating themselves with sunlight shower on weekends… all he ever wished has combined into a brand new life. Anything gets thrilling than that?
