“我一直住在这所房子里，直到十八岁。对我来说，这座房子可以恢复原来的风景和美丽。“

“I lived in this house until I was eighteen years old. This house could be restored to its original scenery and beauty for me.”

 Floor Plan

有了这句话，这个项目的性质就决定了：翻新这座70岁的房子，使之与这位70岁的老人最初对他18岁以前居住的房子的美好记忆相匹配。

With this statement, the nature of this project was determined: to renovate the 70-year-old house to match the 70-year-old man’s original fond memory of his earlier home where he lived until he was eighteen years old.

由于人口减少，周围的村庄几乎完全消失了。最初用于大型乡村聚会和仪式的底层空间现在已经被改造成一个更亲密的Doma空间-用于会见亲密的朋友和家人。

The surrounding village has almost fully vanished due to depopulation. The ground floor space that was originally used for large village gatherings and ceremonies has now been remodeled to be a more intimate Doma-space for meeting close friends and family.

我们想通过“减法的革新”来象征魔马的纯洁。通过仔细地剥去天花板托梁上的木头，我们创造了一个巨大的双高空间，揭示了建筑的纯净结构，并揭示了上面坚固的屋顶桁架。

We wanted to symbolize purity in the Doma by making a “renovation of subtraction”. By carefully stripping the wood from the ceiling joists, we create a large double-height space that uncovers the buildings pure structure and reveals the robust roof trusses above.

木材，与优雅的当地红雪松传统红色污渍，保持其原有的质量和颜色，是重新使用从天花板到底层作为地板，桌面和扶手。为了完成圆柱体，形成一个更有尊严的空间，一楼的原始土壤被固化，窗户被高高地盖在上面。

The wood,  with an elegant local red cedar traditional red stain that has maintained its original quality and color, is repurposed from the ceiling to the ground floor as floorboards, tabletops, and handrails. To complete the Doma and form a more dignified space, the ground floor’s original soil is solidified and a window is made high above.

由于这名男子在城市中心居住了50年，因此也有必要通过“额外改造”将这所房子改造成一个现代化的居住空间。被损坏的厨房墙壁被一堵密封的双层墙所取代，它是绝缘的和抗震的。

Because the man had lived in an urban center for 50 years, it was also necessary to upgrade the house into a modern living space by making a “renovation of addition”. The damaged kitchen walls were replaced with an airtight double-wall that is insulated and earthquake-resistant.

减法和加法的区域是通过将一个大窗口切入中间墙而连接起来的。这种联系在空间之间建立了一种相互意识的关系，加强了每个空间和整个房子的联系。

The areas of subtraction and addition are connected by cutting a large window into their intermediate wall. This connection creates a relationship of mutual awareness between the spaces, strengthening each individually and the house as a whole.

我们的设计意图是根据人的记忆恢复房子的原貌和美，并使房子进一步现代化。现有的材料反映了过去；通过极简主义的方法，我们仔细地重组了它们，为这位70岁老人的最后一个家建造了一座尊敬的房子。

Our intention in the design is to recover the original scenery and beauty of the house according to the man’s memory and further modernize the house. The existing materials reflect the past; through a minimalist method, we have carefully reorganized them to create a respectful house for the 70-year-old man’s last home.
