架构师提供的文本描述。The client purchased a deteriorated townhouse where she would live alone. The翻新项目应使房屋适应未来居民的需要。为此，住宅项目的通常顺序被颠倒，使得底层的面积是私人区域，楼上是社会区域。

Text description provided by the architects. The client purchased a deteriorated townhouse where she would live alone. The refurbishment project should adapt the house for the needs of the future resident. For this, the usual order of a residential program was reversed, so that the ground floor area is the private area and upstairs is the social area.

门可以两种方式打开，为行人或摩托车，因为原来的家庭入口变成了一个小车库。旁边是私人房间：卧室，壁橱和浴室。立面上的格子与卧室和浴室之间的天顶开口结合在一起，那里有一个小花园，允许自然光进入和交叉通风。

The door can be opened in two ways, for pedestrians or motorcycle, since the original home entry was turned into a small garage. Beside this are the private rooms: bedroom, closet and bathroom. The lattices on the facade in conjunction with the zenith opening created between the bedroom and the bathroom, where there is a small garden, allows natural light to enter and cross ventilation.

在The living room and the kitchen are on the upper floor，也有一个外部区域，由‘或体’地板，以允许光线通过较低的水平，并有一个微型洗衣，功能作为一个橱柜，可以完全关闭。

The living room and the kitchen are on the upper floor, where there is also an external area made of ‘orsometal’ floor to allow the passage of light to the lower level and having a micro laundry, which functions as a cabinet and can be completely closed.

 Floor Plan

The prospect of the design was set to bring amplitude to the narrow house，打开了街道的内部和后方的花园。位于一个林林总总，视野开阔的地区，在第二层的前后两侧建造了两个窗框，以使房屋内的视觉透气性、自然光和树木的存在。在前面，木制的框架被延伸成为一个可供观想的座位。

The prospect of the design was set to bring amplitude to the narrow house, opening the interior to the street and the garden in the rear area. Situated in an area full of trees and having open views to the horizon, two window frames has been built – in the front and back sides of the second level ‐ to allow visual permeability, natural light and the presence of the trees inside the house. On the front, the wooden frame is extended becoming a seat place for contemplation.

在第二个层次上， chopped bricks contrasts with the new intervention and the colors在家具中采用，创造了新旧之间的一致对话。屋顶已经被拆除，一个露台是用墙板建造的-由一个新的结构支撑-它是防水的，并得到了一层新的地板，这符合了以前在原来的房子里不存在的户外居住空间。

Also in the second level, chopped bricks contrasts with the new intervention and the colors adopted in furniture creating a consistent dialogue between the old and the new. The roof has been removed and a terrace is made with wall panel ‐ supported by a new structure ‐ which was waterproofed and received a new floor, conforming an outdoor living space that previously did not exist in the original house.
