经过整修和扩建的房产是1939年建造的一个单户住宅区的一部分。正面的房子被一栋高层公寓所取代，而后面的地块则经历了各种独立的翻新和扩建计划。我们项目的基石决定是通过恢复一系列的干预和扩大，回到房子的原始概念，这些干预和扩大使空间被锁住，并剥夺了整个物业的自然光线和通风。新屋主要求增加居住面积，这就需要进行拆除工作。

The refurbished and expanded property was part of a single-family housing complex built in 1939. Front-facing houses were replaced by a high-rise apartment building, while the back plots underwent various independent schemes of refurbishment and expansion. The cornerstone decision of our project was to return to the house’s original concept by reverting a series of interventions and enlargements that had rendered the spaces locked in, and deprived the whole property both of natural light and ventilation. New house owners requested an increase in the living surface which required demolition work.

主体结构被保留下来，包括承重墙、砖和托梁拱形天花板。主入口的门和木地板也被保留下来。这种类型的建筑的其余部分已经在以前的翻新项目中被替换，或者处于严重的失修状态。在剥去房子的所有隔板、抹灰和装饰后，翻新工作开始了。每一个保留下来的元素都被重新利用，并被赋予新的功能。原来的院子被改造成一个中心，一个两层的 “肺”，将楼上和楼下的区域融合在一起。阁楼变成了浴室。原本用于服务的楼梯被重新设计，以便进入一楼。部分托梁式拱形天花板被战略性地拆掉，以让出一个朝北的新院子，这样一来，底层空间可以接受大量的阳光和自然空气。

The main structure was preserved, including bearing walls and brick and joist vaulted ceilings. The main entrance door and the wooden floor were also maintained. The remaining elements from this type of building had already been replaced in previous renovation projects or were in a major state of disrepair. After stripping the house of all partitions, plastering, and finishings, the refurbishing work began. Every preserved element was re-purposed and a new function was assigned to it. The original yard was transformed into a hub, a 2-level “lung” fusing the upstairs and downstairs areas. The attic became the bathroom. The staircase, which was originally for service use, was restructured to access the 1st floor. Part of the joist vaulted ceilings was strategically torn down to give place to a new yard facing North so that the ground floor spaces could receive plenty of sunlight and natural air.

原有结构的翻新工作完成后，扩建阶段采用了干法施工。我们安装了一个预制管状结构，上面覆盖有PUR（聚氨酯）夹层板。为了最终完成这个项目，我们组装了一个大的金属包裹的预制天花板，以容纳楼上的卧室。这种更新的材料表达方式比以前的建筑版本更加闪耀，加强了开放空间，突出了新的区域。结构、材料和纹理在对话中交织在一起，带来了一个充满目的的更新的空间。老房子再次成为一个家。

Once the refurbishing of the original structure had been completed, the expansion stage was done with a dry-construction method. We installed a prefab tubular structure covered with a sandwich panel with PUR (polyurethane). To finalize the project, a big metal wraparound prefab ceiling was assembled to house the upstairs bedrooms. This renewed material expression shines through stronger than the previous version of the building, reinforcing the open spaces and highlighting new areas. Structures, materials, and textures intertwine in conversation to bring about a renewed space filled with purpose. The old house becomes a home once again.
