架构师提供的文本描述。早在2006年，建筑师工程师PeterVanImpe就在寻找一个可以容纳他新成立的建筑师和工程师办公室AST 77建筑师和工程师办公室的地方。他无意中发现了一栋战后联排别墅，它坐落在天津城市公园的边缘。经过一番研究，这批面积只有60平方米的土地被证明是适合建造的。虽然其他人从来没有认为这块小块土地是一个有用的建筑用地，彼得通过坚持“少即多”的原则，把它变成了一个宽敞的房子/办公室。

Text description provided by the architects. Back in 2006, architect engineer Peter Van Impe was searching for a place to accomodate his newly founded architects and engineers office, AST 77 architects and engineers office. He stumbled upon a post-war townhouse located at the edge of the city park of Tienen. After some research this lot, of just 60 square meters, turned out to be suited for construction. Although others never considered this small piece of land to be a usable building lot, Peter transformed it into a spacious house/office by upholding the less is more principle.

从不同的现实出发

这座新建的房子是如何充分利用每平方米的一个例子.外墙外有墙高的窗板，在阳光明媚的日子里可以完全打开。在里面，一个有穿孔的黑色楼梯连接着办公室和生活空间，同时保持和加强了房子的透明性原则。

The new-built house is an example of how to use every square meter to the fullest. The facade exists out of wall-high window panels, that can be fully opened on sunny days. Inside, a steel perforated black staircase connects office and living spaces while keeping and reinforcing the transparency-principle of the house.

办公室是由黑白色调组成的，而居住空间则使用温暖的材料，如竹草。墙壁是由涂成灰色的混凝土砌块组成的，根据进入房屋的日照量和方向，颜色略有变化。卧室和浴室位于最高层，其中还包括一个屋顶露台，可以看到铁南大道之一的景色。

Whereas the office is made up of a black and white colour scheme, the living spaces uses warmer materials such as bamboo grass. The walls are made up out of concrete building blocks painted grey, that slightly change colours depending on the amount and direction of sunligh entering the house. The bedroom and bathroom are placed on the highest level, which also includes a roof terrace with a view on one of the boulevards of Tienen.
