40年前建造的一座公寓楼的单一单元被翻新为画廊和商店。画廊商店出售珠宝、艺术品、帽子和照片。建筑物的正面长满了常春藤，给人一种时光流逝的迷人感觉。你实际上并没有注意到商业空间的存在。来这里的顾客是那些已经认识这家商店的人，它只是在外面的楼梯上放了一个小牌子。特定的风格可能对这一领域是特殊的。

The single unit of an apartment building, built 40 years ago, was renovated as gallery and shop. The gallery shop sells jewelry, objects d'art, hat and photographs. The facade of the building is covered with ivy, giving the attractive feeling of the passage of time. You do not actually notice the presence of a commercial space. The customers who come here are the people who already know the shop, and it just has a small sign placed outside on the stairs. The specific style may be particular for this area.

设计理念非常简单：白墙、脚手架、木板地板和展示柜都有。中心柜台帮助客户循环，并使停留在这个有限的大小空间(20平方米)更长。当你走来走去的时候，你可以到达所有的物品。这个地方可能会感到压抑，但实际上，你并不觉得那样，而是舒服的，因为小规模创造了亲密的感觉。

The design concept is extremely simple: white painted wall, scaffold wood planking floor and display counters are all there is. The center counter helps customer circulation, and makes a stay longer in this limited size space (20m2). You can reach all items as you walk around. The place could feel constrained, but in fact, you don't feel like that, but comfortable, because of the small scale create intimate feeling.

中心计数器单元的所有四个侧面都覆盖着反射地板的表面，使计数器看起来是由相同的材料制成的。这也给人一种错觉，认为房间的面积比实际的要大得多。我把天花板完全拆掉了，把公寓屋顶的底部变成了商店的天花板。这样做的好处是使房间的高度增加了120万。通过操纵水平和垂直尺寸，我实现了给房间更大空间的感觉。

All four sides of the center counter unit are covered with a mirrored surface, which reflects the floor planking, making the counter appear to be made of the same material. This also gives the illusion that the size of the room is much larger than it actually is. I removed the ceiling panels completely, leaving the underside of the apartment roofing in effect as the shop ceiling. This had the benefit of giving the room an extra 1.2m in height. By manipulating the horizontal and vertical dimensions, I achieved in giving the room the feeling of larger space.

商店本身销售的商品种类繁多，从古董到当代的商品，所以我设计了这个设计理念，因为它反映了这一点，你可以看到‘新的’白色墙，‘旧’木制天花板和时间在脚手架木板地板上的推移。

The shop itself sells a wide range of items from antique goods to contemporary ones, so I made the design concept as it reflect this, you can look the 'new' white wall, the 'old' wooden ceiling and the passage of time in the scaffold wood planking floor.
