▼住宅入口，the entrance of the house

原始的建筑主体，仍然作为日常起居生活的空间，利用原有的院子的地下部分，改造成为更为宽敞、更为独立且更灵活的艺术创作空间。同时地上部分仍然作为院子提供给生活空间的景观和户外活动。

The house’s original volume will be used as daily living space still, while the new added one below the ground level will be a wider, more individual and more flexible art creating space. In the meanwhile, the above-ground part will be the place for activities and layout of inner scenery.

▼空间生成过程，the design process

整栋住宅被分为地上和地下两套空间系统。两者各自拥有完全不同的空间氛围。沿着垂直方向互相之间保持一种内在的联系，构建出两个不同的、重叠在一起的平行世界。地上的庭院是家庭日常起居的场所，将地下工作室的屋顶作为家庭的景观。这里植物尽可能的丰富，让生活在此的家人可以感受到轻松和自在。在美丽的环境中，让孩子可以体验和了解自然，让自然与生活息息相关。

The house is divided into two sets of space system: above and below ground. Each conveys completely different atmosphere, while maintaining an intrinsic connection with each other along the vertical direction. In this way, they create these two parallel worlds which are different and overlapping. The above-ground courtyard is the place where the family lives. The roof of the underground studio can be treated as the home landscape while families are in the above courtyard. The plants here are as rich as possible, so that the family living here can feel relaxed and comfortable. In such a beautiful environment, children can experience and understand nature better. Also, the nature can be related to daily living much closer.
