架构师提供的文本描述。我们被一对年轻夫妇雇来对客户祖父建造的一所房子进行彻底的翻新，现在是同一家庭的第三代。他们想把现有的两套公寓合并成两层的单一家庭住宅。他们的要求是，我们创造了一些现代而明亮的东西。由于房子前面的街道很嘈杂，主要的居住空间被安置在后向北的地方，这就带来了将阳光直射到这些空间的挑战。带有天窗的双高度光环，有助于把光带到房子的中心。

Text description provided by the architects. We were hired by a young couple to do a complete renovation of a house built by the clients grandfather, now housing its third generation of the same family. They wanted to combine the two existing apartments into a single family house on two levels. Their request was that we created something modern and bright. Due to the noisy street at the front of the house, the main living spaces were placed at the back facing north creating the challenge of bringing direct sunlight into these spaces. A double height lightwell topped with a skylight, aids in bringing light to the center of the house.

在底层，一面半透明的滑动板墙保护着居住空间，使其免受街道上不必要的凝视，并在冬天充当前厅。一条胶合板扶手绕在楼梯上，在底部折叠，成为餐桌的长凳。两个相交的钢筋悬挂在餐桌上，作为雕塑元素和餐厅区域的直接和间接照明。一个简单的托盘把房子周围的定制家具统一起来；折叠的钢板、白色的木架和俄罗斯的胶合板。倾斜的白色钢管支撑着餐桌、厨房岛和一条玻璃扶手。最后的结果是谦逊和舒适，每一个物体自然地落在适当的位置。

On the ground floor, a wall of translucent sliding panels protects the living spaces from unwanted gazes from the street as well as acting as a vestibule in winter. A plywood handrail wraps around the stair and folds at the base becoming a long bench for the dining table. Two intersecting steel bars are suspended over the dining table acting as both a sculptural element and the direct and indirect lighting for the dining area. A simple pallet unifies the custom furniture around the house; folded steel plates, white wooden shelves, and russian plywood. A play of angled white steel tubes supports the dining table, the kitchen island, and a glass handrail. The final result is humble and cosy, with each object falling naturally into place.
