架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是从一对心胸开阔的夫妇提出的一个非常规要求开始的：在非常紧张的预算范围内，把一个没有窗户的200平方米车库改造成一座房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The project started with an unconventional request from an open minded couple: within a very tight budget, to convert a windowless 200m2 garage into a house.

拟议的干预措施旨在尽可能清晰地解读现有结构，强调其实力。虽然车库是粗心和灰色的，房子是干净和白色的，它的实质是平的，它的光是抽象的。

The proposed intervention intended the clearest reading possible of the existing structure, emphasising its strength. While the garage was careless and grey, the house is clean and white; its materiality is flat, its light is abstract.

两间宽敞的浴室被安置在一堵弯曲的墙壁后面，在那里曾经有一个破碎的角落；墙壁和天花板被涂成白色，地板上覆盖着一个连续的抛光混凝土表面；我们正在重新思考现有的天窗。没有其他必要的改变。

Two generous bathrooms were included behind a curved wall, where a broken corner was before; the walls and ceilings were painted in white and the floor covered in a continuous polished concrete surface; the existing skylights we’re rethought. No other change felt necessary.

精心摆放的元素构成了生活区域：大理石厨房、窗帘、盆栽植物。随着家具的自由站立元素携带灵活的身份，暗示其家庭生活，同时标点符号抽象的体积和颜色。

Carefully placed elements organize the living areas: a marble kitchen, curtains, potted plants. Along with the furniture, the free standing elements carry the flexible identity of the house, hinting its domesticity while punctuating the abstract volume with color.
