此胡同房位于北新华街沿街两层楼房的首层，独立出入口，通风和采光条件不佳。房屋后半段有一个室外天井，是去卫生间的必经之路，雨天使用十分不便。

The house is located on the first floor of a two-story building lining the North Xinhua Street. Though with an exclusive entrance, the house’s lighting and ventilation were less than ideal. An open shaft in the rear part of the house cut into the access to the bathroom, a total inconvenience especially on rainy days.

平面布局上将原始天井位置向北平移0.75m，空出一条通往卫生间的室内走道，同时也将其变成一个一半置入居室2的室外庭院。

The shaft was moved northward horizontally by 0.75 m, sparing the room for an indoor passage to the bathroom. The area freed by the move was also transformed to be part of the outdoor courtyard integrated into bedroom 2.
