架构师提供的文本描述。我们对这处房产的初步调查显示，这座建筑的骨头很好。这所房子原来的状况很好，但它的结构不适合现代生活。主要关注的是，厨房和浴室位于房子后面，远离起居室和餐厅的活动，不适合娱乐。

Text description provided by the architects. Our initial survey of the property revealed the building's good bones. The house's original condition was quite good but its configuration did not suit modern living. A primary concern was that the kitchen and bathrooms were located at the back of the house, away from activities of the living and dining rooms and inappropriate for entertaining.

我们保留了建筑的信封，重新配置了布局，创造了一个单一的，无缝的生活-餐饮-厨房卷，采取特别的注意，以保持空间的层次，所以中心的战前商店房子的设计。其结果方案是对传统商店住宅的一种明显的现代做法。它立即得到业主的批准。“我喜欢这样的事实，当你进入，你可以看到直接从后面，但知道，不同的区域是为特定目的而设计的，”业主说。

We retained the building envelope and reconfigured the layout to create a single, seamless living-dining-kitchen volume, taking special care to maintain the hierarchy of space so central to the design of pre-war shop house. The resultant scheme is a distinctly modern take on a traditional shop house. It received an instant stamp of approval from the owners. “I love the fact that when you enter, you can see straight through the back, but know that the various areas are designed for specific purposes,” says the owner.

为了重新塑造店家的本质，我们重新定义了店家建筑的两个特征-天窗和空气井。为了强调这个空间作为房屋的支点的重要性，我们引入了一个水景和锦鲤池，并使楼梯风环绕着这一水景。在空气井曾经暴露在元素的地方，它现在配备了一个可伸缩的玻璃屋顶和独立操作的百叶窗，将75%的热量反射回大气中，使内部温度保持舒适。取决于百叶窗被收回的程度，白天的时间和太阳的强度，光轴以不同的模式投下阴影。在月光下的夜晚，玻璃屋顶可以完全收回，以便能看到景致。

To recreate the shop house essence, we redefined two characteristic features of shop house architecture – the skylight and the air well. To emphasise the importance of this space as the fulcrum of the house, we introduced a water feature and koi pond and made the staircase wind around this water feature. Where the air well was once exposed to the elements, it is now equipped with a retractable glass roof and independently operated blinds that reflect 75 percent of the heat back into the atmosphere, keeping the internal temperature comfortable. Depending on the extent to which the blinds are retracted, the time of the day and the intensity of the sun, the shaft of light streaming in cast shadows in varied patterns. On moonlit nights, the glass roof can be fully retracted to take in the view.

第二层有一层，一层是主卧室和套间浴室，另一层是育婴室和女儿的卧室。我们在战略位置定制并安装了一系列儿童安全门，一旦主人的女儿成年，我们就可以拆除这些门。主卧室是一套独立的房间，让人联想起豪华酒店套房：入口处的隔板是床头板的两倍，两边都是白色的高光彩夺目的终点线墙上的一排衣柜。这里是主浴室，可以看到绿色植物，让人远离城市生活的喧嚣和喧嚣。(鼓掌)

The second storey has one wing housing the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom, and the other containing the nursery and daughter's bedroom. We custom-designed and installed a series of child safety doors at strategic locations, which can be removed once the owner's daughter comes of age. The master bedroom is a self contained volume reminiscent of a luxury hotel suite: a divider at the entrance doubles up as the bed's headboard, while a bank of wardrobe in a high-gloss white finish line walls on either side. The piece de resistance is the master bathroom, with its view of lush greenery that whisk one away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

阁楼层的客房在没有访客的情况下充当业主学习的功能。在这里，一个巨大的4米高的玻璃门和玻璃墙被用来代替通常的木材和砖块。我们想增强空间感。如果你打开门，空气会流过并通风空间。我们的理由与客户产生了很好的共鸣，客户选择了这间屋子作为他最喜欢的房间。房间很大，天花板很高，有一种真正的“阁楼”感觉。老板说：“坐在我的办公桌前，我可以往下看厨房和我的家庭房间。”一个惊喜等待着无畏的游客，他们一路走到屋顶：一个带有无限边缘游泳池和绿色全景的室外露台，与主浴室的景色相同。

The guest room on the attic level functions as the owners study when there are no visitors. Here, an enormous 4m high glass door and glass wall are used in place of the usual timber and brick counterparts. We wanted to enhance the sense of space. If you open the door, air can flow through and ventilate the space. Our rationale resonated well with the client, who picked this as his favourite room in the house. The room is large with high ceilings and a real 'loft' feel. Sitting at my desk, I can look down into the kitchen and my family room”, says the owner. A surprise awaits intrepid visitors who make the journey all the way up to the rooftop: an outdoor terrace with an infinity edge pool and a panorama of green, the same view shared by the master bathroom.

这是我们迄今为止所做的最现代的商店之一。但是它有一种清晰的感觉，就像一家商店，因为我们不相信在一个没有过去记忆的保守的房子里创造空间。就像一个健忘症患者。主人同意了。“我喜欢干净的感觉，虽然房子很现代，但它的起源是毫无疑问的，”他说。当被问到这所房子是否适合他的家庭需要时，房主回答说：“非常适合。有一些空间，我们可以作为一个家庭来做事情，也有一些空间，我们可以分开做事情。这对娱乐来说是很棒的，但同时也相当亲密。“

This is one of the most contemporary shop house we have done so far. But it has the unmistakable feel of a shop house, because we do not believe in creating space in a conserved house that does not have memories of its past. It would be like a person with amnesia. The owner agrees. “I love the clean feel and while the house is very modern, there is no question about its origins:, he says. Asked if the house suits his family's need, the owner replies, “Very much so. There are spaces we can do things as a family, and there are spaces we can do things separately. It is great for entertaining but also quite intimate at the same time.”
