架构师提供的文本描述。折叠式公寓：如何使50平方米的面积感觉比现在大？在任何一个城市的中心找到一套负担得起的公寓是非常困难的。通常需要做出妥协，在这种情况下，我们买了一套光线不好的公寓，但是有一个很好的位置和一个我们可以重新配置的计划。我们想从公寓里得到两样东西-一种空间感，一种开放性，另一种是隐私。在一个小公寓里，这两种要求通常是不一致的。

Text description provided by the architects. The Folded Apartment: How to make 50 sqm feel bigger than it is? Finding an affordable apartment in the centre of any city is very difficult. Usually compromises need to be made and in this case we bought an apartment with poor daylight, but a great location and a plan we could reconfigure. We wanted two key things from the apartment – a sense of space, of openness, and on the other hand, privacy.  In a small apartment these two requirements are usually at odds.

我们通过组织从公共到私人的功能，然后把它们折叠在一个中央脊柱墙上。这些空间是故意开放的，而隐私是通过控制视野来实现的。透过一系列半透明的玻璃门，让阳光透过公寓，这也让东北面的客厅在白天可以从卧室的窗户接收光线。

We achieved them by organizing the functions from public to private and then folding them around a central spine wall.  The spaces are kept deliberately open but privacy is achieved by controlling the view vistas, and through a series of translucent glass doors which allow daylight to penetrate through the apartment.  This move also allows the northeast facing living room to receive light from the bedroom window during the day.

在书脊墙的卧室一侧，它是用软垫织物完成的，以提供一个紧密的声学环境。墙的另一面是全高度镜子，用于穿衣，有助于扩大走廊的空间感，使所感知的区域加倍。

On the bedroom side of the spine wall it is finished with upholstered fabric to give a close acoustic environment. The opposite side of the wall is clad with full height mirror, useful for dressing and helps to expand the sense of space in the hallway, doubling the perceived area.

 Floor Plan

为了最大限度地增加储存空间，方便移动WC和洗衣机，通过设计改变了地板层。客厅从走廊下来创造了更高的高度，而卧室通过3步进入，这给了一个更亲密的环境，同时创造了床下急需的存储空间。当我们有客人的时候，台阶也是非正式的座位。这套折叠式公寓位于上海法租界的中心，在一栋1930年代的小巷房子的二楼，可以看到一条绿树成荫的街道。它是由MDO在2014/15年度设计和建造的。

In order to maximize storage space and to facilitate moving the WC and washing machine, the floor level changes through the design. The living room steps down from the hallway creating more height, whilst the bedroom is accessed via 3 steps which gives a more intimate environment, whilst creating much needed storage space under the bed. The steps also double as informal seating when we have guests.The Folded Apartment is situated in the heart of Shanghai’s French Concession, on the 2nd floor of a 1930’s lane house and looks onto a leafy street. It was designed and built by MDO in 2014/15.
