项目位于一处二战后的居住区中，强调了与英国简易住宅的关联，后者是当代城市肌理的基本组成部分，也是形成社区感的基本单位。设计任务书十分明确：通过最少的介入对室内进行整体翻新，创造更加宽敞开放的社交空间，同时保持二层的平面布局和建筑立面与原来一致。

The house is inserted in a post-WWII housing estate and stresses the relevance of council housing in the UK, a fundamental part of the contemporary urban fabric and sense of community. The brief was very clear: a full interior renovation with minimal interventions; social areas to be wider and open; first floor layout and all facades to remain as they are.

设计拆除了底层的两堵墙，打通了建筑与花园之间的空间，增加了使用的灵活性。石膏墙面上留有一处圆形缺口，展露出内部长久以来的砖砌结构。设计师增设了一道钢梁，支撑上层楼板；一根非结构柱体现了建筑本身的自治性。窗帘围合上层私密空间，带来温暖的感觉。

On the ground floor, two walls were removed to open the house to the gardens and increase flexibility of use. A circle in the plaster reveals the longstanding brickwork, a new steel beam is added to support the floor above, and a non-structural column claims autonomy for architecture. A curtain brings warmth and encloses the private areas above.
