The clients are a husband and wife, both visual artists. One is a creative director and the other is an illustrator. They purchased a top floor unit, in need of substantial remodeling because of the work left behind on all surfaces by an artist with questionable talents. The clients wanted a flexible live-work space on a very tight budget ($75k) when they approached us. The use in the unit is genuine live-work for two working visual artists.

客户是一对夫妻，都是视觉艺术家。一个是创意总监，另一个是插画家。他们购买了一个顶层单元，需要进行实质性的改造，因为所有的作品都是由一位有着可疑才华的艺术家留下的。当客户接近我们时，他们想要一个预算非常紧张的灵活的现场工作空间(7.5万美元)。该单位的使用是真正的现场工作，为两个工作的视觉艺术家。

Our proposal involved a ‘super compaction’ approach. Into this single-story loft, we dropped in a compressed structure designed to contain everything they required. A loft within a loft, or a ” toy loft “, as it were.

我们的建议是采用“超级紧实”的方法。在这个单层阁楼里，我们加入了一个压缩结构，用来容纳他们所需要的一切。阁楼在阁楼内的阁楼，或所谓的“玩具阁楼”。

To meet this tight budget, we hacked together IKEA shelving, light gauge steel framing, site-cut exposed edge plywood and mdf. This single shell contains an attic nook, a lower lounge, a rolling seasonal closet, bleachers with storage cubbies and a worksurface, all interconnected to maximize their space. The seasonal closet in particular, is a highlight we’re proud of. It was built as a series of modules that can roll on tracks, concealing lesser used shelving beyond. The clients can then slide these modules to configure as they please for both seasonal and his/ her needs. The cubby, workspace desk and bleacher steps are also tightly integrated to support both their freelance visual work needs and provide a flexible social space for entertainment.

为了满足这个紧缩的预算，我们砍了宜家货架，轻钢框架，现场切割暴露边缘胶合板和中密度纤维板。这一单壳包含一个阁楼角落，一个较低的休息室，一个滚动的季节性壁橱，露天看台与储存幼童和工作表面，所有这些相互关联，以最大限度地扩大他们的空间。特别是季节性壁橱，是我们引以为傲的亮点。它是作为一系列的模块，可以滚动在轨道上，隐藏较少使用的搁置超越。然后，客户端可以滑动这些模块，以便根据季节和他/她的需要进行配置。小房间，工作区办公桌和漂白台阶也紧密结合，以支持他们的自由视觉工作的需要，并为娱乐提供灵活的社会空间。
