尊重老房子的布局，产生新的工程美感，分析旧结构对新事物的定义能力，重新定义不同的空间，是我们从这个项目开始的方式。

Respecting the old layout of the house to generate the new esthetic of the project, analyzing the capacity of the old structure to define something new, to redefine different spaces, is the way we started with this project.

拆下内墙，只使用粗糙的混凝土梁和柱子，让我们切割的混凝土的加固物显现出来，暴露出电力系统，用粗糙的石膏作为装饰，以及绝缘软木，与皮革和铜叶等豪华材料形成强烈对比，产生了不连续的材料对话，起初似乎没有什么共同之处。

Ripping down the inner walls to reuse only the rough structural concrete beams and columns of it, letting visible the reinforcements of the concrete we were cutting, exposing the electrical system, using rough plaster as finishing, as well as insulation cork, in a strong contrast with luxurious materials like leather and copper leaves, generated a discontinuous dialogue of materials which seems to have nothing in common at first.

因此，把古典和粗糙的材料结合起来，再加上现代元素，比如浮架和漏洞窗，我们创造了一种由华丽的材料制成的、优雅的、永恒的、未完成的工程的独特感觉。

Therefore, producing this interesting mix of classical and rough materials, together with modern elements like the floating shelves and the loophole windows, we created a singular sensation of an elegant timeless unfinished project, made out of resplendent materials.
