架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座26年前公寓楼单元的翻新，是一对已婚夫妇的住宅。通过将卧室和步入式壁橱放置在现有承重墙的两侧，两扇面向西南方向的窗户通过形成一个L形的开放空间连接起来，目的是创造一个内部环境，允许光和空气在整个家庭中自由流动。

Text description provided by the architects. This renovation of a unit in a 26 year old apartment complex is a dwelling for a married couple. By placing the bedroom and walk-in closet on either side of the existing load-bearing wall, the two windows facing the southwest are connected by forming an L-shaped open space with the goal of creating an internal environment that allows for the free flow of light and air throughout the entire home.

“开放空间”还包括厨房和洗脸盆，与无窗洗浴区的洗脸盆的典型放置方式相反，将其放置在这个开放的空间里，你可以感受到外面新鲜的空气，也能感受到与家中其他成员的联系。

The ‘open space’ also includes the kitchen and wash basin and contrary to typical placement of the wash basin in the windowless bath area, by placing it in this open space one can feel the fresh outside air as well as a connection to the rest of the family inside.

L形木墙作为空地和睡区之间的隔断，是一种大型家具，你可以在那里挂起一幅画，储存一本书，坐下来，甚至滚来滚去，让它成为把房子团结在一起的象征。

The L-shaped wood wall that serves as the partition between the open space and the sleeping area is a large piece of furniture where you can hang a picture, store books, sit or even roll around on, allowing it to become a symbol uniting the house.

 Floor Plan

在我们整个规划过程中，这个空间被我们称为“内露台”，是一个广阔而明亮的共享区域，成为空间之间的一个温和缓冲地带，就像在公寓的南侧，它连接着开放空间和睡眠区。

This space, which we had termed the ‘inner terrace’ throughout our planning, is a wide and bright shared area which becomes a gentle buffer between spaces, as on the south side of the apartment, where it links both the open space and the sleeping area.

为了让居住者在非常有限的楼面面积内有更大的自由，我们认为更有效的方法是连接和覆盖不同的地方，创造整个住宅，而不是完全通过表达生活功能来创建一个单元。

Rather than create a unit completely through the articulation of living functions, in order to allow the occupants to live with greater freedom within a very limited floor area, we thought it was much more effective to connect and overlay the various places, creating the whole of the dwelling.
