情况 – 丈夫和妻子在从事图书设计工作后退休了。下一步，他们计划开一家会员制咖啡馆，在那里他们可以指导游客自我制书。为这对夫妇建一个小房子也是必要的。他们买了一块小地，并拜访了建筑师。

The situation – The husband and wife retired after working as book designers. For the next step, they planned to open a membership café where they can guide self-book making to the visitors. A small house for the couple was also necessary. They bought a small ground and visited the architect.

场地在山坡上，面向北方，向下看是一座令人印象深刻的岩石山，是地区的地标。在南边，一个大篷车商店坐落在3米高的地方。为了观景，主要立面应该是北面，但它不能承受足够的照明。为了获得满意的照明，向南的窗户是必要的，但避免来自北方地面的隐私侵袭也是必要的。
这种情况似乎是一种讽刺，但却是一个做新研究的机会。

The site is on the slopy hill, facing north and looking down an impressive rocky mountain, the regional landmark. To the south, a caravan shop is situated above 3m higher level. For the view, the main façade should be the north, but it cannot take enough lighting. For satisfactory lighting, windows to the south is necessary, but avoiding privacy invasion from the north ground is also necessary.
The situation seemed a kind of ironic but was a chance to do a new study.

从3×3到3×4的网格–研究开始于将一个立方体稍微放到地面上。半露的下层地面到斜坡将做为基础。开始时，立方体被分成3×3的网格，包括水平和垂直的。在这个过程中，网格系统在垂直方向上延伸到地面下层，并在内部被分割和改造。网格系统的中心房间是学习时的重点。

From 3×3 to 3×4 grid – The study began with slightly putting a cube onto the ground. The half-revealed lower ground floor to the slope will make the foundation. The cube was divided into 3×3 grids, both horizontally and vertically in the beginning. In the process, the grid system vertically extended below to the lower ground floor and was split and transformed internally. The center room of the grid system was focused while studying.

通常情况下，在经典的3×3网格规划中，中心房间具有更高的层次感。中庭或天窗强调了这个特点。私人房间和杂物间围绕着中心房间。然而，在现代建筑中，层次结构得到了颠覆，有堆叠的楼层。中心单元有作为生活空间的缺点，缺乏照明和空气流通。楼梯占据了中心空间而不是中庭。

Typically, the center room in the classic 3×3 grid plan has a higher hierarchy. Atrium or skylight emphasizes the character. Private and utility rooms surround the center room. However, the hierarchy gets reversed in modern architecture with stacked floors. The center cell has disadvantages to being a living space with a lack of lighting and air circulation. The staircase occupies the center space instead of the atrium.

在这个项目中，中心单元被分割成两个，使其同时具有古典和现代的特征。3×3的网格通过拆分变成了3×4。溢出的中心模块被重新合并，并根据需求在垂直和水平方向上纠结。在这个过程中，较低的底层也进入了这个系统，在垂直方向上形成一个3×4的网格。

In this project, the center cell was split into two to give it both classic and modern characters. 3×3 grid turned into 3×4 by splitting. The spilled center modules are re-merged and entended both vertically and horizontally as demands. In the process, the lower ground floor came into the system to make a 3×4 grid vertically as well.

系统的应用–结果是立方体被分成了45个单元。此后的设计原则是三维重组单元，以克服场地条件，创造一个更好的生活环境。在南面很难有活动天窗的房间，被与上面的单元结合起来，垂直扩展。现在房间在组合单元的墙上有向南的高窗，但仍然不受隐私的侵犯。在立方体中间，孤立的单元成为生活空间或空隙，同时积极地与其他单元结合，这些单元在郊区或其他楼层的条件下。

Application of the system – The cube was divided into 45 cells as a result. The design principle hereafter was to recombine the cells three-dimensionally to overcome site conditions and create a better living environment. The rooms, which were difficult to have an active skylight on the south side, were combined with the cell above to expand vertically. The rooms now have high windows to the south on the wall of the combined cell but are still free from invasion of privacy. In the midst of the cube, the isolated cells become living spaces or void, while actively being combined with other cells, which are in the outskirts or on other floors following conditions.

网格系统也可以通过建筑表达方式来体验，而不仅仅是通过单元的延伸。像柱子和梁之间的连接这样的结构元素被强调。装饰材料也有帮助。在网格被分割的地方，它被诱导将材料分开，或在地板图案或家具模块中使其可见。

The grid system can be experienced by architectural expressions as well, not only by the extension of cells. Structural elements like the connection between columns and beams were emphasized. The finishing materials also help. It was induced to separate the materials where the grid is divided, or to make it visible in the floor pattern or the modules of furniture.

窗户是按功能设计的，诚实地表达了组合空间。这导致了不规则的立面。只有北面的主立面有规律地排列着巨大的窗户，以提供对北部岩石的良好视野。这个整洁的立面从立面显示了网格系统，低反射的玻璃照亮了天空，更清晰地显示了这个系统。

Windows were designed functionally, expressing combined spaces honestly. It resulted in irregular elevations. Only the main north façade has regularly arranged huge windows to offer a good view towards the northern rock. This tidy facade shows the grid system from the elevation and the low-reflection glass illuminates the sky and reveals the system clearer.
