MONOARCHI的办公室位于小区内部一栋三层别墅的首层中，建筑面积约100平方米。整幢建筑最早为一个家庭所有，但因特定历史原因产权被分割，目前一层居民与二、三层的居民共享一个30平米的独立院子。出于对这座老宅的喜爱和尊敬，我们在最初接触这栋房子的时候就决定了对原有的建筑室外和室内的结构格局不做任何的破坏与改变，尽可能的保留住历史的这份厚重感。

The office of MONOARCHI is located in the first floor of a three story villa. The area is about 100 square meters. The whole building was first owned by a family, but the property rights were split for historical reasons, and a 30 – square meter independent yard was shared by all residents. To respect of the old house, we decided not to make any damage or change to the structure and layout when we first came to the house to retain the existing sense of history as far as possible.

我们需要在这小型空间创造出8人的工作空间以及与建筑相关的展示空间需求。我们第一步是精简，剔除居住功能；第二步是复合，我们在主要办公区的中部植入展览空间，以满足不定期小型展览的需求；通往会议室的过道加宽形成为评图区域；会议室与小型图书馆混为一室；原有卫生间和淋浴的隔墙被打开，转换为模型室，材料室和打印室，这三者与厨房用餐空间连通，模型室的桌面和厨房台面等高，使两者可以互相扩展。

We need to create a work space for 8 people as well as an exhibition space inside the small house. The first step is to remove the existing residential functions to make the space simpler; the second step is to hybridize functions: we inserted an exhibition space in the middle of the main workspace to satisfy the needs of curating small exhibitions from time to time. The corridor to the conference room is enlarged as a critique area; the conference room is combined with a tiny library; the partition wall between the toilet and shower is opened, and the space was converted into a model workshop, a material room and a printing room. These three spaces are connected to the kitchen, the bar table of the model room and the kitchen are at the same height so the two functions can be shifted.
