架构师提供的文本描述。在台南的小巷里，有一座砖房，发出亮光。人们可以看到日出，老邻居，鸟躺在房子的杆子上。

这座建筑原本是一座过时的旅舍，隐藏在古老的小巷里，现在正在翻修成一处办公空间。从早期的现场调查中，我们注意到由于缺乏维护和老化，木质隔墙都无法使用。过度膨胀使室内空间变得黑暗和混乱；然而，我们看到光线穿透了碎裂的光阑，墙上刻有饥饿的尘埃状斑点。

The building was originally an outdated hostel hidden in the old alleyway and is now renovated into an office space. From the early site investigation, we noticed the wooden partition walls were all unusable due to the lack of maintenance and aging. The overly done expansions rendered the interior space dark and chaotic; however, we saw rays of lights penetrated through the fragmented apertures and engraved stardust-like spots on the walls.

这张照片引发了最初的概念构想。

That image sparked the initial concept idea.

对于这个项目，我们想要在该地区插入一个独特而又简陋的设计。为了对当地的地理环境做出反应，我们选择了由墙上的照明点激发出来的带有大几何开口的砖砌立面和一些零散的穿孔。我们把内墙的漆面剪掉，露出砖头的物质性，涂上白色环保漆，营造出一种更现代、更生动的氛围。

For the project, we wanted to insert a unique yet humble design within the region. In order to response to the local geo-context, we chose to use brick facade with large geometric openings along with some scattered punctures, which were inspired from the lighting spots on the walls. We chipped off the painted surface of the interior walls to reveal the materiality of bricks and put on white environmentally-friendly paint to create a more contemporary and lively ambience.

光是这个项目的灵魂。同时，砖墙只是安全壳的外壳。为了让灯光重新进入老建筑，设计团队拆除了一些二楼的甲板和屋顶面板。这座曾经簇拥的房子现在已经被释放，并允许光线进入室内空间和室外庭院。我们保留了木桩和林格系统，以旧的房子框架包围负空间，用钢结构加固木材，这也可以作为照明装置的支撑，创造更动态的照明和阴影效果。

Light is the soul of this project. Meanwhile, the brick walls are merely the skins of the containment. In order to allow lights to re-enter the old building, the design team removed some of the second floor decks and roof panels. The once clustered house now has been released, and allows the light to come into the interior space and outdoor courtyard. We kept the wooden post and lintel system to enclose the negative space with old house frame, and reinforced the wood with steel structures, which can also be the supports for lighting fixtures that create a more dynamic lighting and shadow effect.
