该项目是对位于贝鲁特中心区Wadi Abu Jamil的一个四口之家的两层阁楼进行内部翻新。顶层公寓原来的布置在两层楼之间呈现出零散的循环，空间互动性差，主门厅狭窄。
The project is an interior refurbishment of a two floors penthouse for a family of four, located in Wadi Abu Jamil in Beirut Central District. The original arrangement of the penthouse presented a fragmented circulation between its two floors with poor spatial interaction, and a narrow main foyer.
最重要的空间干预是在房子的中心引入了一个双层高度的空间，围绕它重新组织了曾经分散的生活区、工作区、储藏室和卧室。
The most significant spatial intervention was the introduction of a double height space at the center of the house, reorganizing around it the once fragmented realms of living areas, work areas, storage and bedrooms.
楼梯在这样的空间里成为一个漂浮的结构，通过垂直的钢结构悬挂在天花板上，强调了它的轻盈和与皮肤和板块的分离，就像它漂浮在双层高度空间的中间。
Defined by a cladded wooden skin, such element features a widened entrance that transitions smoothly to the reception and brings back to its center the staircase as a feature element.The stairs become a floating structure within such space, suspended from the ceiling through vertical steel profiles that emphasize its lightness and its detachment from skin and slab, as if it’s floating in the middle of the double height space.
木质表皮的形式调和了不同的错位，并在加宽的大厅和两层楼的相邻空间之间提供了一个曲线的水平和垂直连续性。这个表皮集成了通往相邻房间的门、储物柜、通透的切口和整合的照明。它拐了个弯，以保持对内部客厅墙壁的相同处理。钢制型材从表皮中伸出，形成门把手和架子。作为对最小材料的补充，一个俏皮的定制钢和铜的照明装置悬挂在双层高度的接待处。
The wooden skin’s form reconciles the different misalignments and provides a curvilinear horizontal and vertical continuity between the widened lobby and adjacent spaces on both floors. This skin integrates doors to adjoiningrooms,storage closets, see through cutouts and incorporated lighting.It turns the corner to maintain the same treatment for the inner living room wall. Steel profiles stick out of the skin to create door handles and shelves. Complementing the minimal materiality, a playful custom made steel and copper lighting fixture hangs from the double height reception.
与其木质表皮的核心形成对比的是，顶层公寓的其余表面是白色的墙壁涂料，白色的大理石地板和白色的楼梯钢。不同的房间被设计成一个经常性的系统，即外墙涂成白色，内墙用不同的俏皮的木头包覆，将门、图书馆和壁橱纳入其中。
In contrast with its wooden skin core, the remaining surfaces of the penthouse are white paint for walls, white marble for floors and white steel for the staircase. The different rooms are designed with a recurrent system of having the exterior walls painted white and the internal walls with different playful wood cladding to incorporate doors, library and closets.
在其开发和执行阶段，该项目成为对设计和制造建筑的各种手段的探索，而这些手段都是基于当地的工艺限制。
During its development and execution phases, the project became an exploration of the wide array of means for both designing and fabricating architecture on the light on local craftsmanship constraints.
