设计师认为可以建筑师的身份从空间和观念，印象的类型和角度来研究这个空间,设计这个空间，他认为这很有趣,也有挑战，所以接受了这个项目的室内空间设计工作。

The designer took on this home space design because it has an interesting look at the typology of concept and space design.

　　就普遍的住宅楼室内设计而言，普通的设计方式与设计手法很难带来空间的新鲜感。来自北京的业主夫妇和设计师讨论时，表达他们需要一种不同的生活方式和感受，需要类似传统北京“胡同”中的空间感受(并仅两人和宠物在此居住)。

For the public stereotypes of home space design,it is difficult to bring in any kind of freshness.The BeiJing couple went to discuss with and told the designer that they need a different way of living,maybe just like living in “hutong” (and only two of them and pets live here).

　　因此设计师基于“内巷”的概念，在设计的过程中尝试很多的可能性，而在建造的过程中尽可能使用普通的建造、装修方法去实现和表达它。设计师执行了很多他们称为空间的“搭载”与“卸载”设计，在这个过程中他意识到这个空间的隐私性与开放度之间的关系和比例是设计的重点。他敏感地和认真地对待着这有趣矛盾，所以当业主想要更多隐私和隔离时，业主使用格栅、窗帘等构造，而当业主需要更多的宽阔空间和开放度时,则不使用。

So the designer conceptualized the whole design basing on the idea of lanes and how to actually use it possibility.He can perform many of their so-called space"loading"."uninstalling" and "building up inside" designs.In this process the designer carefully maintained the balance because he realized it has the strong contradiction between privacy and openness.So when the hosts want more privacy and isolation,they use something like the grills,curtains,and when the hosts need more space and openness, they don't.

 　　事实上,为了将空间面积的观感和效果扩展到两倍或三倍，设计师去掉了一些室内的分隔墙体（来合并不同的小空间）。空间的原状是一个典型的方正的住宅楼的户型样子，如果不减去一些墙体,不做一些空间结构上的改动，这个空间仍旧很普通、很无聊。所以他把不同类型的房间视作具有不同功能的空间体，每个空间体设置至少两个或更多的与其它块体的“连接”，例如洞、窗户或者门，由此整体空间形成了墙体掩映,空间流动的效果，就像是“街区内的街”，“胡同里的巷”。

Actually the designer removed some of the walls to create the new compounded rooms in order to expend the double or triple-size space,also the space was very boxy,because it is a typical living space which would probably be normal and boring without removing walls,and he conceptualized the different types of the block rooms as the space with different function and each one have two connection points at least like holes, windows,or doors,forming the effect that spatial flowing and wall covering.So it's kind of like" a block within a block", "a lane within a lane".

　　设计师向业主提供了更多元的、更自由的空间连通的选择。业主有了更多的机会和自主的可能性，去开发、创造业主自己的美好生活，同时体会着空间中自由关联所带来的便利。业主甚至可以随时无障碍地与家人和亲人直接交流。

Provided with more pluralistic space and freedom to experience the space connection,the hosts have more opportunities to create the possibility and beauty of their own way of life,communicating with each other through different space connections which give people the chance to see or talk with the others.

　　房屋的中央区域,是一个功能性的走廊，走廊的后区包含了业主的串联的隐私空间, 是业主的私密房间，窗户，窗帘，格扇，隔断门，可以调节并起到阻挡作用。这同时照顾到了隐私，也考虑到了开放度的可变性。当业主关上这个走廊中所有的木门和镜子的门时，这个私人空间便与外界有了较强的界限以及相当的距离，而留给业主自己的是一个非常核心的有仪式感的清净区域。

Walking down the corridor in the middle of the house is the privacy block of the owners,something,such as the windows,curtains,partition doors and grills that hinders vision or shut out light,not only for the host’s privacy,but for the openness.So when hosts close all the wooden and mirror doors,they all look like they're been largely cut off from the outside world,the only thing left is a very central space with a series of spatial ritual.   

　　在这个项目中，设计师坚持选用原生的材料：石材、木材、金属和玻璃等。并坚持对它们进行很少量的处理。他使用了室内装修和建筑搭建的通用手法，兼容的材料和搭建方式，在设计中使人感受到更多开放性，以及整体氛围和谐的效果。在“自然在线”的思考和文章中，阿尔瓦.阿尔托提出：“建筑师所创造的空间应该是和谐的，也是其用线索把生活的视线和时间编织在一起的世界。而用来编织的最基本的经纬就是人纷繁的情感之线与包括人在内的交流与互动”。

The designer just utilized a few treatments for the materials,like stone,wood,metal and glass,like what they natural look like using in the project.He use the materials and construction methods that are compatible with the interior and exterior,and create a lot of grey space to make people feel more open in space and the atmosphere harmonious.

　　设计师认为这个项目最大的挑战是：作为一个建筑师和设计师，他在这个项目设计时经常要面对“在这个空间里的生活态度是怎样的”的问题，他将设计的过程看作是对这个问题的态度方面的探究和沿袭的轨迹。在设计和建造过程中, 他对这个空间的体会，设想,调整和优化一直没有停止过。在整个过程中，他一直努力降低或减少颜色、形状等元素和手法对于设计的干扰，而专注于生活的方式，仪式等本质上”。

The designer said,one of the biggest challenges in this work,for this space,for an architect,is the answer that“which way people take to living in this space”.He think the answer is the method and the way of this design and construction process that he has never stop feeling,adjusting and optimizing for

　　在使用时，业主可以随意选择在厨房，卧室，客厅，或某个桌子用餐或忙一点工作，随时看到、感受到整个大面积空间带来的便利和感受，也瞥见整个空间和成员的状态。这大大提升了同一时间内业主对于整个空间的感知和了解，也大大提升了整体空间的视觉和感知的使用效率，在这个“昂贵”的城市中使用这样的生活方式很有意义。

The designer indexed that Alvar Aalto posed a metaphor in article "natural reproduction",“the space created by architects should be harmonious,the most basic one used for weaving is the line of human emotions and the mutual communication”.

　　设计师认为：居住生活的精髓是一个他在不断思考的事，这不仅是因为他经常为不同的业主做私人的空间设计尝试，也因为他逐步感受到居住和庇护的主题，是建筑和室内空间设计的初心和本意。

The designer said,the spirit of home living is the issue that has always been really obsessed him,not only because he was asked to design a lot of different private home spaces,but he feel that the design theme for shelter and the home is the beginning and intention of architecture and also the interior design.
