架构师提供的文本描述。走进哥德堡中心的这间公寓，穿透了一个非常复杂和异想天开的大脑：设计师托尔斯滕·奥特斯杰的大脑。出于客户优化空间的愿望，奥特舍夫和拉尔斯·伊斯蒂格(Lars Isestig)将这套公寓改造成了一个复杂、多层的巢穴，由两个楼梯组成，一个卧室、一个带淋浴的浴室、一个设备齐全的厨房、一个办公室、一个壁橱、一个起居室/客人卧室和餐厅-所有这些都在17m2 x3，6米的范围内。

Text description provided by the architects. Walking into this apartment in the heart of Gothenburg is penetrating a very complex and whimsical brain: that of designer Torsten Ottesjö. Borne out of the client’s desire to optimize space, Ottesjö together with Lars Isestig has transformed this apartment into an intricate, multi-leveled nest, comprised of two stairways, a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a fully-equipped kitchen, an office, a closet, a living room/guest bedroom and dining area—all within a mere 17m2 x 3,6m.

这套公寓的建造既考虑到了如何利用公寓的容量，也提供了视角上的多种变化，从所有可能的角度创造了不同的空间和景观。因此，各节的位置不仅是相对的，而且也是唯一的窗口。

The apartment was built both in consideration of utilising the volume of the apartment to its capacity, but also to offer a multitude of shifts within perspective, which creates a different space and view from all the possible angles. The sections are therefore positioned not only in respect to each other but also to the sole window.

每个部分扭曲和折叠成这样一个小空间的方式是令人难以置信的…。这正是关键所在。奥特舍尔故意创造复杂的生活操场，破坏头脑的稳定：一个人在智力上不理解他的作品，一个人凭直觉地穿过它。

The way each section contorts and folds into such a small space is mind-boggling…and that is exactly the point. Ottesjö deliberately creates complex living playgrounds which destabilize the mind: one doesn’t understand his work intellectually, one moves through it intuitively.

在这种情况下，设计师“让环境照顾人，而不是反过来”。每一种形式的复杂性与材料的简单性相结合，扩大了空间(和想象)，而不是浓缩了它。光线渗透到墙壁的木板之间，形成了舒适和通畅的氛围，这已经成为奥特舍尔风格的一个标志，使得厚重的材料变得轻盈，小空间也变得广阔。

In such a way, the designer “lets the environment take care of people and not the other way around”. The intricacy of each form combined with the simplicity of the materials expand the space (and the imagination) rather than condensing it. The light that seeps in between the walls’ wood panels creates a coziness and an airiness that have become a signature of Ottesjö’s style, making heavy materials light, and small spaces vast.

这一创造也是一个大胆而美丽的请求，要求以一种更简单、更有资源意识的方式生活.通过用当地廉价的材料建造宜居的小地方，这套公寓成为我们如何创造更可持续发展的城市的有力例子。然而，与其建造简单的住房单元，奥特舍尔的目标首先是“建造能拥抱你的公寓”，而这也许是他在这里所取得的成就。

This creation is also a bold and beautiful plea for living in a simpler, more resource-conscious way. By creating small livable places with local inexpensive materials, this apartment serves as a powerful example of how we can create more sustainable cities. Rather than building simple housing units however, Ottesjö’s aim is above all to “build apartments that hug you”, and this, perhaps more than anything else, is what he accomplishes here.
