The project locates in the tip of an villa compound in a downtown hill. It is an old-styled villa with 4 stories, facing itself to the south with a open-view garden overlooking the city. However, the imperfection of layout and waterproof technique makes the garden level pretty humid and unpleasant. We, URBAN designers, therefore reshuffled the interior function organization, grouping the use of kitchen, dining and private living space into the garden level, trying to create a brand new main hall for family activities.

项目位于城市山顶别墅区高位，是一栋几十年的老式别墅，南向有视野平坦的花园，俯瞰山城景色，但早年结构与防水的弊端让处于别墅最低位的花园层保守潮湿与阴冷的侵扰。在明确了新的使用需求后，URBAN设计师策划翻新局部建筑与室内，重构居住体验，弱化传统分割式的别墅住家结构，将花园层改造成集餐厨，私密休憩，与观景为一体的自由的家庭活动主场所。

改造前实况

This residential renovation practice begins in winter of 2021,and ends in the same time of 2022. Facing a freshing view over the garden, we have imagined throunsand times when the sunlight spread into the living room, and people can casually enjoy the wind, the touch of light, and the change of temperature.

这是一个住宅改造的实践，始于冬，成于冬。面对开阔的花园视野，我们构想了无数次阳光斜打进厅堂内，业主自由且慵懒享受风，光与温度的场景，这样的设想贯穿了整个设计过程。

“When you are in the planning phase, what is the first thing you do?”
“To feel, to think, to be careful… it’s nothing special, isn’t it?”

“你在规划阶段，首先做的是什么？”
“感受，思考，小心翼翼地……没什么特别的，不是么？”
