本案中，设计师将巴黎一栋住宅楼的地下室与底层老旧的金属作坊改造成了居住空间。与通常从上层开始改造的项目不同，本案旨在找到正确的原型，将建筑物的下层改造成宜人住宅。

The project consists on the transformation of an ancient metal workshop in the ground floor and basement of a housing building in Paris into living units. The main goal was to find the right typologies to transform the lower parts of the building into pleasant housing and to densify a building by the bottom and not, like it is often the case, by the upper part.

设计师将区域中心留白，形成了一个开敞天井，增加了开放空间的面积，旨在促进用户间的互动并为绿植预留空间。项目由三个居住单元组成，其中一套包含一个建筑工作室，每单元都高效地利用了空间。

To get this, the core of this area has been emptied to generate a void, a patio, which increases the possibility of openings, promotes social relations among their users and the presence of greenery. Three living units, from which one includes an architectural office, are designed to take advantage of their specific position inside the building.

第一套公寓利用了下层的中央庭院，主要居住空间呈U形布置在四周。开敞的中庭可为公寓不同方位的居住空间引入阳光，开辟良好视野。带有独立入口的建筑办公室位于空间上层，开放楼梯与此连通，并通向屋顶露台。

The first apartment takes profit of the lower level of the courtyard and its main living spaces are organized in U shape around it. Through high and large openings, the inhabitants benefit of luminosity and crossed views between each part of the apartment. The architectural office, with an independent entrance, is placed in the upper level, connected by an open staircase which is, at the same time, leading to a rooftop terrace.
