该项目场地的后方坐落着一栋两层的加建房屋，但未得到妥善利用。业主委托设计团队对其加以改善，使其能够获得海岸视野，并享受到微风与极光。委托人希望向西拓展现有的顶层空间，在已有的商铺矮墙后形成一个屋顶阳台。

Our clients approached us to remedy a situation where an existing double storey extension at the rear of the property failed to take advantage of views toward the ocean, nor did it harness prevailing breezes or north-light. Their desire was to push west within the existing roof space, to culminate in a roof terrace behind the existing shopfront parapet.

设计团队最终创造了一个“悬浮”的夹层家庭办公空间。建筑边缘向内退让，使阳光能够照到建筑一层，并打通了建筑各个楼层之间的联系。现有的建筑屋顶被抬高以适应新的房屋结构，并通过覆盖现代化材料展现改造成果。

The result is a ‘floating’ mezzanine home-office space, pulled back from the edges of the building to funnel daylight to the ground floor and create spatial connection between the levels. The existing roof was ‘raised’ to accommodate the new program and re-clad in a contemporary material to signal the intervention.
