本项目的客户非常喜欢收集多余的建筑材料，经年累月他也有了一系列规模可观的“收藏品”。因此他希望建筑事务所de baes & associates能够使用这些“收藏品”来将一座废弃的商店改造为一个办公室兼复式住宅空间。这是一个十分与众不同的项目框架，也为建筑师带来了设计的机遇和挑战，其中第一个挑战便是对建筑外墙的处理。原有的外墙过于怪异，空有后现代的形式，毫无内容可言，以致于跟周边的环境完全脱节。

为了改善这个现状，设计团队将办公室的入口移至了侧面，不仅有助于住宅最大程度地利用玻璃外墙实现自然采光，更有助于将原有的中庭空间改造为住宅空间的中央入口，从而大大地降低了建筑成本。此外，临街立面的改造还加强了整个建筑体量与街道之间的联系，玻璃下部的磨砂处理也在私人空间和公共空间之间建立了分隔。

The client brought us an unusual framework for this project: to transform an abandoned building which used to be a local store into an office and a duplex apartment by reusing unwanted materials which he collected over the years. The first notable challenge was the outer shell of the building, which was so misshapen that it lacked any connection with its context. It was only postmodern form, without content.

We started solving the equation by moving the entrance of the office to the side so that the apartment floors could use the curtain wall for ambient daylight. This drastically reduced construction costs since we could use the existing atrium as a central entrance to the house. The integration of the former storefront also strengthened the building’s relationship with the street while creating a division between private and public spaces.

设计团队对建筑的室内空间也进行了大规模的改造。现有的框架作为分隔元素，划分出不同的功能区，在保证开放的景观视野的前提下，营造出一系列彼此独立的空间氛围。此外，建筑师还在室内空间中安装了一个由碳酸聚酯打造而成的波浪状的半透明玻璃幕墙。这个弧形的玻璃幕墙像一面镜子一样，不仅将室内的生活区域与室外的街道环境分隔开来，更为设计增添了一种奇异的触感和视觉效果。

Inside the building, a new direction was introduced. The existing framework was used as boundaries to delineate different zones for different purposes, creating separate atmospheres whilst keeping an open view to the landscape at the back. A wavy, translucent curtain wall made of polycarbonate was installed to act as a filter towards the street, as well as a mirror to add a whimsical touch to the design.
