伦敦的建筑事务所FLOW Architecture与Magrits共同完成了这个住宅的改造和扩建项目。原住宅是一座维多利亚风格的排屋住宅，位于伦敦肯辛顿（Kensington）一条绿树成荫的安静道路上。设计团队不仅对这座建于1851年的四层排屋进行了彻底的空间改造，还为其加建了一个地下室和一个位于住宅后侧的双层通高空间。

本项目将一座传统的历史住宅改造为了一个舒适的现代居住空间：一方面改善了室内的光环境，另一方面也使室内的空间布局更加符合现代人的居住习惯。设计的重点在于最大程度地实现自然采光和增加空间的竖向流动性，从而不仅满足客户的生活需求，更能为日益增多的艺术藏品提供展示空间。

Challenging the traditional way of inhabiting historical housing, the project responds to the needs of a family dissatisfied with the poor quality of light inside the building and with the compartmentalised Victorian layout. Spatial planning was driven by maximising the potential for natural light and the fluidity of the vertically stacked living spaces, in order to accommodate the client’s living requirements and their growing art collection.

“‘光之瀑布’这个名字完美地诠释了这座住宅的灵魂！倾泻而下的日光在建筑的中心位置上创造出一种竖向的动态感，不仅活跃了室内空间的气氛，更消除了室内外环境之间的边界。”设计团队如是说。

“The name Light Falls perfectly expresses the soul of the house! The cascading effect of daylight, brought in vertical motion to the centre of the building, enlivens the interior spaces and dissolves the borders between outdoor and indoor spaces” — says the design team.
