新与旧
我们经常遇到这样的客户，他面临着购买可能超出其预算的新房产或购买已经建成的房产并对其进行改造的决定。我们的建议总是突出第二种选择。我们认为，最好是利用现有的建筑，并通过这样做加强城市，因为它的挑战是可视化的可能性。

New vs. Old
Every so often we meet a client who is faced with the decision to buy a new property that might be out of his budget or buy something already built and recondition it. Our advice always stands out the second option. We believe that is better to take advantage of an existing building and with doing so strengthen the city as it, the challenge is visualize the possibilities.

该计划
我们看到的是一个空间缩小、照明不足、没有存储空间的公寓，总的来说是一个对用户不利的环境。我们计划修改这种情况；为了实现这一目标，我们必须考虑谁将居住在这个空间，他们如何居住，当他们居住在这里时他们在哪里？客户是两个20岁出头的学生，他们打算为每个人设立休息和学习区域，另外还有
一个适合开会和聚会的共享社交区域。此外，作为一个间歇性的用户，我们还有客户的父母，他们住在不同的城市，但有时会在那里住宿和睡觉。

The plan
We are presented with an apartment of reduced spaces, poor lighting, no storage, in general a hostile environmen for the user. We planned to modify that scenario; in order to achieve this, we had to think about who is going to inhabit this space, how they inhabit it and where are they when they inhabit it? The clients are two students in their early 20s, who intend to have resting and studying areas for each one, plus
a shared social area suitable for meetings and parties. In addition, as an intermittent user, we have the clients’ parents who live in a different city but sometimes stay and sleep there.

在这样的背景下，项目的目标是将空间从三个极小的房间改造成两个大房间，每个房间都配备一个卫生间；在有客人的时候，还可以在规划的空间里增加第三个房间作为用餐区。在这样的小空间里，我们对有墙的想法提出质疑，就像划分一样。根据客户的需求，我们相信我们可以为他们提供一个用途。因此，墙壁包含了存储的地方，一张桌子，一张床。
洗衣空间、壁橱、书架等等。

With this background, the project’s objective was transforming the space from three extremely small rooms into two large rooms each one equipped with a bathroom; adding also the possibility of a third room in the space planned for the dining area, when there are guests. In such small spaces, we questioned the idea of having walls just as divisions. Depending on the needs of the client, we believed we can provide them with a use. Therefore, walls contain storage places, a table, a bed,
laundry space, closets, shelves and more.

资源
当选择现在构成公寓的材料时，我们首先在我们已经拥有的东西中思考，然后添加更方便的东西来解决项目提案。衣柜和厨房家具被重新使用，并插入到用胶合板制成的新家具中。这样一来，增加了存储容量和
配置空间之间的划分。

The resources
When choosing the material that now makes up the apartment, we first thought in what we already had and then added what was more convenient to solve the project proposal. The wardrobes and kitchen furniture are reused and inserted in the new furniture made out of plywood. This way, increasing the storage capacity and
configuring divisions between spaces.

我们选择了滑动门来释放循环；这些门是用回收的金属结构制造的，以前用于进口汽车零件，这些门用不同的涂层也在那些受空间条件限制，我们不能引入更多用途的地方设置了分区。

We opted for sliding doors to free up the circulations; these were manufactured with recycled metallic structures previously used for the import of automotive parts, which with different coatings also set up divisions in places where, conditioned by space, we could not introduce more uses.
