从什么时候开始，你对讲述你的梦想犹豫不决？如果我们正在做的工程允许他们接近他们的梦想，我们真的希望你能像一个做梦的孩子一样，告诉我们关于梦想的故事。虽然我们决定一个项目有很多因素，我们不能忽视现实，但我们希望分享我们对他们梦想的大小和空间的态度，优先考虑我们能在项目中感受到多少乐趣。

From when did you hesitate to tell about your dream? If the works we’re doing allow them to approach their dream, we really want you to tell us about the story of the dream, like a dreaming child. Although there are so many factors for us to decide on a project and we can’t ignore realities, we would like to share our attitude toward the size and space of their dream and prioritize how much pleasure we can feel in the project.

在Banghwa-Dong狭窄街道的尽头，有这么一小块勉强超过29.8平方米的土地，周围都是似乎有峥嵘故事的建筑。也许我们决定开始这个项目是为了享受这种乐趣。一个新的挑战总是让我们兴奋，但我们也应该考虑现实。然而，他对待这块土地的方式和我们的想法，即我们渴望实现某种微小的触动或期望的人向我们展示他的梦想，可能会消除这些担忧。事实上，我们已经谈了很多，并一起走过了那么多的困难。尽管如此，我们之所以不容易用典型的性情来定义 “他”，并不是因为我们不了解 “他 “的性情，而是我们现在从他身上感受到的情感是真实的 “他自己”。

At the end of the narrow street of Banghwa-Dong, there is this little piece of land barely over 29.8m2, surrounded by buildings that seem to have eventful stories. Perhaps we decided to start this project to enjoy the pleasure. A new challenge always makes us excited, but we should also consider realities. However, his way to treat this land and our thought that we’re eager to realize some kind of tiny touch or expectation of someone who showed us his dream, might remove those concerns. Actually, we have talked a lot and come through so many difficulties together. Despite this, the reason why we don’t feel easy to define ‘him’ with a typical disposition is not that we don’t understand ‘his’ disposition, but the emotion we’re now feeling from him is real ‘himself’.

到我们开始写这个故事的时候，他给我们发了一封长信，包括他对这个房子的想法和个人处置，再次提醒我们，他是一个小说家。他介绍自己是 “一个性格复杂的孩子，追随爱情，充满好奇心，但态度谨慎，情绪化，敏感，也很慎重和执着，但非常害羞，有很多烦恼”，信中还有他恳切而详细的愿望，要求我们在里面做一个真正的自己能够隐藏的城堡。因此，这个空间需要成为一个小城堡来保护他免受外界的影响，我们的工作是希望它成为一个休息的地方，让他疲惫的身体和心灵平静下来。

By the time we started writing this story, he sent us a long letter including his thoughts and personal disposition toward this house, reminding us again that he’s a novelist. He introduced himself as ‘a child of a complex character who follows love and is full of curiosity, but careful in attitude, emotional, and sensitive, and also deliberate and persistent, but very shy and has a lot of worries’ and there were his earnest and detailed wishes, asking us to make a castle within where the true himself is able to hide, in the letter. Therefore, the space needed to be a small castle to protect him from the outside and we worked with the wish that it would be a resting place to calm down his tired body and mind.

作为保护他的小城堡，粗糙而坚固的质地和垂直格式已经足够好了。然而，我们在房子上应用了相当古老的颜色（也许），与周围似乎有多事之秋的建筑相协调，因为我们觉得这些颜色像他的灵气，一个成年人的外表，但他的内心有一个孩子。

A rough and firm texture and vertical format are good enough as a small castle to protect him. However, we applied fairly-tale colours (maybe) on the house in harmony with the buildings that seem to have eventful stories around it because we felt the colours resembled his aura, an adult in appearance but there’s a child inside of him.

这四层楼每层几乎都不超过9.9平方米。我们试图将建筑设计成具有最小的功能–但工作得非常好–并在功能之外的小空间里制造丰富的故事。我们打算利用即使是很小的空间，也尽量不使它变得不自然。我们没有把窗户仅仅作为扩张的工具，根据空间的特点，需要的光线和给予平静的光线被划分和安排。通过这样的设置，客户可以在任何地方做出隐藏或被看到的选择。特别是，四楼是一个餐厅，他花了大部分时间，也是一个工作空间，他能够集中精力。我们希望他能通过天窗射出的光线感受到沉默、平静，甚至是一种脱离现实的超然感觉。

The four stories are barely over 9.9m2 each. We tried to design the building to have the minimum function – but work very well – and make rich stories in the small spaces beyond the function. We intended to use even a tiny space and also tried not to make it unnatural. We did not use the window only as a tool for expansion, and according to the characteristic of the space, the light needed and the one giving calm were divided and arranged. With this setting, the client can make a choice of hiding or being seen anywhere. Particularly, the fourth floor is a dining room where he spends most of his time as well as a working space where he’s able to concentrate. We wanted him to feel the silence, calm, and even a transcendental feeling out of reality through the light coming from the skylight.

在这篇文章的结尾，我们敢想，这个空间的意义将是一个小城堡，在那里他可以在每天的生活战斗之后平静他疲惫的身体和心灵，对于这个孩子来说，他必须要坚强，才能在这个美丽而激烈的城市中不被伤害。

At the end of this article, we dare think the meaning of the space will be a small castle where he can calm down his tired body and mind after daily battles in life, for the child who had to be strong in order not to be hurt in this beautiful and fierce city.
