“工作室插件 “是一个改造项目，它的名字来自于它的空间设计–一个线性的工作室空间，被插入现有的50年历史的单层家庭住宅。这个工作室的设计是为了满足简单生活方式的基本要求；一个工作的地方，准备一顿饭，以及一个在一天工作结束后放松和休闲的空间。
The “studio plug-in” is a renovation project that derives it’s name from it’s spatial design- a linear studio space that is plugged into an existing 50-year-old single story family residence. This studio space designed for accommodate the basic requirements for a simple lifestyle; a place to work, prepare a meal and a space to relax and unwind at the end of a day’s work.
在现有房屋的一部分改造这个工作室是基于成本效益的目标，对现有设施进行最小的结构干预。工作室空间的主要灵感来源是位于入口处的一棵现有的35岁的玫瑰苹果树。
The remodeling of this studio within part of the existing house was based on the objective of cost effectiveness and minimal structural interventions were made to the existing establishment. The main source of inspiration for the studio space was an existing 35 year old Rose Apple tree located at the entrance.
带着许多在树荫下玩耍的童年记忆，建筑师想把这种氛围重塑为一个工作的场所。一面质朴的粉色特色墙，灵感来自于树上的粉色季节性花朵，延伸到整个工作室插件的长度，其空间按顺序排列。
With so many childhood memories of playing under the shade of this tree, the architect wanted to recreate the atmosphere as a place to work under. A rustic pink feature wall, inspired by the tree’s pink seasonal blooms, stretches throughout the length of the studio plug-in with its spaces arranged sequentially.
办公室工作空间在前面，面对有玫瑰苹果树的前院，私人小厨房夹在工作室和卧室之间，卧室通向一个封闭的后侧庭院。这个插件简单而简约，有基本的材料，最小的干预，大部分的家具是从建筑师的祖父母那里继承来的，这些家具被重新粉刷和重新使用，以适应工作室的房子。
The office-work space is in front, facing the front courtyard with the Rose apple tree and private kitchenette is sandwiched between the studio and the bedroom which opens up to an enclosed rear-side courtyard. This plug-in is simple and minimal with basic materiality, minimal interventions and most of the furniture inherited from the architect’s grandparents, which was repainted and repurposed to suite the studio house.
