千面之屋
House with Many Faces
An oversized house is barely a house. the very long narrow plot used to accommodate shabby offices and a spacious warehouse. a fearless client aimed at transforming this clutter into a home. a soon to be living room could easily have a dozen of cars parked in there.
一間大尺度的房子幾乎不能稱為是一間房子，這個非常長而窄的基地過去曾用來作為容納一個破舊的辦公室和一個寬敞的倉庫。這位毫無抗性的客戶將這些雜亂無章的空間轉變改造為一個家，成為一個有客廳的地方，且能夠輕易地停放十幾輛汽車。
The structure of the existing building suggests two parts. a conventional front facing the street is an object on its own that has a dull facade, two levels and a disarray of rooms, while the back part is vast space under a gable roof supported by heavy wooden beams.
現有建築的結構暗示了兩部分。前段部份面向街道，是普通的兩層樓，房間排列雜亂，後段部是傾斜屋頂下的廣闊空間，由堅固的木樑支撐著。
The project is conceived as a series of cuts across the lengthy perimeter. five facets are reassessed and introduced to order the extensive space. the two parts are now separated with an inner courtyard. the building in front takes in a series of small apartments, dividing the space with a number of slight gestures. the warehouse simply turns into a massive living room that is then interrupted by one curved wall. a proper kitchen and a monumental fireplace are the only hints of uncertain domesticity.
設計師將空間重新設計並將這個長型空間劃分為五個不同的區域，在其廣闊的空間中建立秩序與功能，而創新的補強打造了一個內部庭院，有效地將房屋劃分為兩個獨立的區域。透過巧妙的空間佈局，臨路部分被重新設計成排列的公寓。這個曾是倉庫的空間被重新設定為一個寬敞的起居空間，其中一堵獨特的曲面弧形牆體，擴展為一個開放式的平面，配置了廚房及一個大型壁爐，暗示著居家氛圍唯一的軌跡。
The five facets are addressed as a gang of elevations. each has a character of its own but they share apparent similarities. a grid of black dots attempts to make sense of the concrete structures and defines the figure of the facades. reoccurring pairs of windows, yellow doors, green shutters and surfaces of glass brick correspond to intricate rooms, devise tense compositions and charismatic personas. The former warehouse is a house of many faces.
在這次翻新過程中，建築的變化不僅體現在結構調整上，也展示了對空間的深入佈局。引入一個內部庭院不僅串連原本分散的空間結構，還賦予整個建築更深刻的意義和多元的可能性。這個庭院成為家的中心樞紐，為每個區域提供自然光和通風，同時打破了原始佈局的僵固性，開創了開放與流動的氛圍。
在建築的前部分，小公寓的設計巧妙利用了有限的空間。通過細膩的技巧，每個單元都被拆開並重新配置，創造了獨特且個性化的生活體驗。這種細緻的方法將這個單調的立面轉化成充滿活力的個別單元，與整體建築形成了和諧且有趣的對比。
In the front section of the building, the clever design of small apartments makes skillful use of limited space. Through subtle techniques, each unit is broken down and reconfigured, creating a unique and personalized living experience. This meticulous approach transforms the once monotonous facade into individual units full of vitality, forming a harmonious and interesting contrast with the overall architecture.
