设计师的想法首先与已经拥有完整房屋拆迁许可证的客户见面，讨论了老房子的拆迁、设计和施工委托。这座有50年历史的房屋，除了只有一米宽的道路连接外，巷道只有三米宽，拆迁和施工将十分困难。此外，客户还喜欢她的童年，也想在这里缅怀父亲的足迹，我们觉得空间重用会是一个更好的主意。

Designer’s ideas First meet with client who already had a whole house demolition license, discussed about the old house demolition, design and construction commissioned. The 50 years old house, except for only one meter wide roadway connection, the roadway is only three meters wide, demolition and construction works will be very difficult. In addition, client enjoy her childhood and also want to memorial their father’s trace here, we feel spatial reuse would be a better idea.

空间的形成是以记忆和环境为基础的。四个间隔之间的拉长的老房子被保存下来，但是老房子被其他房子包围着，中间没有适当的缝隙。

The formation of the space are based on the memory and the environment. Four intervals between the elongated old housing were preserved, but the old house surrounded by other houses, no appropriate gap in between.

住在老房子里必须保持一种随心所欲的态度。行动不能在过去和现在之间摇摆不定，但必须是准确和有效的。所有的设计技巧都藏在老房子里。

Living with old house must keep a following attitude. Actions cannot swagger between past and present, but must be accurate and effective. All design skills are hidden in the old house.

设计过程中将原楼顶施工作为单层设计，决定增加二层轻钢结构，从一楼板上挖出新的基础，轻钢结构独立于旧砖房，避免旧的山墙单独承担二楼的新荷载。(鼓掌)

祭祀第三个房间，改建成一个室外的中庭，设计团队希望保留原有屋顶桁架的痕迹，让人们知道这个庭院曾经是一个室内的房间。因此，故意将横截面保持在15 cm左右，这样的横截面也会给渗漏面带来太大的麻烦，特别是需要加强防水，也导致了大量的施工麻烦。

Sacrifice the third room, converted into a the outdoor atrium,design team wish to retain traces of the original roof trusses, let people know this court used to be an indoor room. Therefore deliberately keep the beam cross-section of about 15cm, which cross section can also be too much trouble for seepage surface, particular strengthen waterproofing is needed, also led to a lot of construction troubles.

建设老房子改造工程的主要难点是防水工程，特别是要暴露红砖的质地。原来的计划是用一种平席透明的防水涂料，但在涂装的过程中，却意外地使用了形成塑料薄膜的清漆防水涂料。这是一种更安全的防水方法。尽管如此，老房子的漏水点仍然无所不在。我们一共修改了五次。

Construction The main difficulties of the old house renovation project is waterproofing works, in particular, we want to expose the red brick texture. The original plan was to use a matting transparent waterproof paint, but in the process of paint trying, unexpectedly used varnish waterproof paint which form plastic film. It’s a safer way for waterproof. Nevertheless, the leaking points of the old house are still omnipresent. We totally modify five times.
