在这个项目的设计中，房子的位置以及客户的个性、生活方式和需求都是主要的参数。卡拉科伊一直是伊斯坦布尔商业的中心。如今，这个古老的社区变得越来越时髦和活跃，有许多新的画廊、精品店，周围的餐馆和酒店。房子就在这喧嚣的中间。同时，在选择材料和创造空间时，客户的户外个性当然是我们的主要动力。自然、中立、舒适、实用都是要描述的关键词。

The location of the house as well as the personality, way of living and needs of the client were the main parameters in the design of this project.  Karakoy had always been the heart of the commerce in Istanbul.  Nowadays the old neighborhood is getting more hip and active with many new art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and hotels all around.  The house is situated right in the middle of this hustle and bustle.  Meanwhile the client’s outdoor personality was of course our main drive when choosing materials and creating space.  Natural, neutral, comfortable, practical are the keywords to describe.

这所房子的结构方式是开放以获得更多的光线和视野。前面正面的小窗户开口扩大了，新的折叠窗框滑动了大楼的宽度，把客厅变成了阳台，因为公寓里缺少了一个阳台。此外，在楼顶下方插入了一个大的长方形天窗，为阁楼提供了光线和视野。

The structural approach of the house was to open up to get more light and view. The previous small window openings on the front façade were enlarged and the new folding window frames slide the width of the building to transform the living room into a balcony, since the apartment is missing one.  And a large rectangular skylight was inserted just below the peak of the pitch to provide light and view to the mezzanine.

然而，这座房子的设计方法却是“没有太多的想法”。我们评估了整个房子的整体和空间，因为它的布局是为一个人设计的，所有的空间都计划交织在一起。没有必要把空间划分成许多小房间，因此，对于不同的房间，我们不需要不同的设计思想。我们想出了一些设计方法，并在房子周围使用它；

The design approach of the house however was ‘not to have too many ideas’.  We evaluated the entire house as a whole and single space since its layout was to be designed for a single person’s use, and all the spaces was planned to be entwined together.  There was no need for dividing the space into many small rooms.  Therefore, we didn’t need different design ideas for different rooms.  We came up with a few design approaches and used it all around the house;

-其中一堵纵向墙被分解为储藏室，设计了一个非常简单的系统，用铁棒爬上两层楼，维持房子的长度，不分起居室、厨房、图书馆或卧室。12 mm铁棒从墙上出来，16毫米棒连接在壁面上形成60x60厘米的网格，设计了各种架子和附件来适应这个系统，如单架、双层或三层货架、垂直分离器或悬挂装置。用户可以随意安排和使用这个存储系统；作为图书馆、木屋、厨房储藏室或衣柜。

- One of the longitudinal walls was resolved as storage.  A very simple system was designed with iron rods climbing two floors and running the length of the house, without categorizing as living room, kitchen, library or bedroom. 12mm iron rods coming out of the wall and 16mm rods connected to them creating a 60x60cm grid over the wall surface.  Various shelving units and accessories were designed to fit this system, such as a single shelf, double or triple story shelves, vertical separators or hanging units.  The user may arrange and utilize this storing system however he likes; as a library, a woodshed, kitchen storage, or a wardrobe.

 Floor Plan

-这座繁忙的储藏室对面的另一堵纵向墙，设计时尽量少动，以创造一个宁静的一面，上面覆盖着各种大小的天然石头。这堵墙从起居室开始，一直延伸到卧室。

- The other longitudinal wall facing this busy storage system was designed with least movement as possible to create a serene side and was covered with natural stone in varied sizes.  This wall starts in the living room and continues all the way up and through the bedroom.

-楼下的地板上铺着60×60厘米的天然石料，角度不规则，随意性很强，只是在面向北的客房里用木头代替了自己。

- Downstairs floor was covered with 60x60cm natural stone in an irregular angle obtaining the casualness.  It only replaced itself to wood in the guest bedroom, which is facing north.

-在整个阁楼，表面都被水泥材料覆盖，不间断，让人对赤裸的脚有一种愉悦的感觉。这一表面创造了四周的地板，包括淋浴和嵌在床和浴缸内的砖块。

- All through out the mezzanine, the surfaces were covered with a cement-based material, uninterrupted, for a pleasant feeling for the naked feet.  This surface created the floor all around, including the shower and also the block, which nestles the bed and the bathtub.

-除了实用性外，这所房子所需的温暖是由从墙壁上升到天花板的连续的伊罗科木天花板实现的，也为拥挤的聚会在窗前创造了一个宽敞的座位单元。

- Apart from practicality, the warmness that the house needed was achieved with a continuous ceiling of iroko wood, that rise from the wall to the ceiling, creating also a wide seating unit in front of the window for crowded gatherings.

-最后，铸造混凝土块表面是为了形成一个铁结构的厨房台面，然后走下，形成一个悬臂式餐桌，最后作为壁炉作为一个短的支柱，这也允许在桌子周围额外的座位。

- Finally, the cast-concrete block surface which was created to form the kitchen counter framed in an iron structure, steps down and forms itself into a cantilevering dining table and ends up as a short plinth as the hearth, which also allows extra seating around the table.
