架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个旧公寓的翻新工程，面积22平方米，高度3.3米。由于台北市房价高企，近十年来，年轻人能够负担得起的居住空间越来越小。面对这样一个既不宽敞又有机会完成所有基本生活功能的生活单元，必须对客户的需求进行更准确的分析和适当的安排。客户同意这样的观点，即在人们长期居住的地方，空间与功能同等重要，而不是短期居住的房间。(虽然这套公寓的占地面积可能比许多酒店房间要小。)我们都同意，空间应该是免费的，主要家具的布置要谨慎，以确保长期的生活体验是舒适的。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a renovation project of an old flat which measures 22 sqm and 3.3m in height. Due to the high housing prices in Taipei City, the living space that young people can afford has become smaller and smaller in the last decade. Faced with such a living unit which is not spacious but still has a chance to fulfill all basic living functions, the needs of clients must be analyzed more precisely and arranged suitably. The client agrees with the idea that space is as important as function when it comes to a place where people will live for a long time rather than a room for a short-term stay. ( Though the footprint of the flat might be smaller than many hotel rooms. ) We both agree that space should be left free with the main furniture arranged discreetly to ensure the long-term living experience is comfortable.

以项目中的客户为例，她必须经常出国工作，完成工作回家后，只需要洗个热水澡，睡个好觉。除了一个设备齐全的浴室外，还需要一个紧凑的厨房，而且大部分的储藏室都是用来存放衣服和书籍的。她还希望客厅在较低的空间，可以有沙发和餐桌。(因为台北一个小单位的许多居民只能在沙发上吃饭。)另外，把左边的空间空出来做些运动。通过对需求的理解，我们决定接受空间的限制，更有效地利用空间。

Take the client in the project for example, she has to travel abroad frequently for work, and after finishing work and coming home, all she needs is a hot bath and a good sleep. Besides a fully equipped bathroom, a compact kitchen is also required and most storage is for clothes and books. She also hopes the living room in the lower space can have both a couch and dining table. ( Because many inhabitants of a small unit in Taipei can only have a meal on the sofa. ) In addition, make the left room empty for doing some exercise. Understanding the needs, we have decided to accept the restriction of the space and utilize it more effectively.

首先，淋浴被更换为浴缸，洗衣机被移到厨房。由于在台湾，煤气无法输送到没有阳台的房子里，小电暖器不能提供足够的热水供洗澡，因此我们调整了卫生间的布局，为储水热水器腾出空间，还有一个带镜子的滑动门，这不仅使维护变得容易，而且在视觉上扩大了空间。

Firstly, the shower was replaced with a bath, and the washer was moved to the kitchen. Because in Taiwan the gas can not be piped into a house without a balcony and a small electric heater can not provide sufficient hot water for a bath, we adjusted the layout of the toilet to make room for a storage water heater, and a sliding door with a mirror which not only makes the maintenance easy but also amplifies the space visually 

厨房橱柜、衣柜和架子等固定家具都附在墙上，以充分利用壁橱的高度，避免走道。由于使用频率较高，衣柜在架子以下，但部分衣柜仍可方便地从夹层区进入。由于阁楼的高度不允许站立，其上的家具必须以坐或卧的姿势使用，如床和桌子。

Fixed furniture such as the kitchen cabinet, the wardrobe and the shelf are attached to the wall to fully utilize the height and avoid aisles. The wardrobe is below the shelf due to the higher frequency of use, but a part of the shelf still can be accessed conveniently from the mezzanine area. Because the height of the mezzanine floor can not allow standing, the furniture on it must be used in a sitting or lying position, such as the bed and the desk.

塔塔米区和橱柜靠窗，充分利用了壁龛，也提供了充足的存储空间。楼梯上的轻钢扶手增加了视觉穿透，下面的墙壁上有一台电视机和两个隐蔽的鞋柜。客厅的墙壁旁边有两张木制桌子，可以是一张长条桌子，既节约了房间，又可以朝另一个方向组合成餐桌。因此，空旷的空间可以灵活地满足不同的需求，使小的平面不那么拥挤。

The tatami area and cabinet alongside the window make full use of the alcove and also provide ample storage. The light steel handrail on the stairs increases the visual penetration, and the wall below it contains a TV and two concealed cabinets for shoes. There are two wooden tables alongside the wall in the living room that could be a long bar table which economizes the room and can be combined in the other direction to be a dining table. Therefore, the empty space is flexible for different needs, and makes the small flat less cramped.

该公寓有充足的自然光和通风，使用的主要颜色是白色和橡木，使空间更加明亮和宽敞。所有的设备和固定装置都是按限制堆放的，但不能压缩尺寸。在这样一个居住空间有限的城市，我们希望这个项目能为拥有这样一个小空间的人提供一个实用的解决方案。

The flat has sufficient natural light and ventilation, and the main colors used are white and oak which makes the space brighter and more spacious. All equipment and fixtures are stacked according to the confines, but not be compressed in size. In a city like Taipei, where the living space is limited, we hope the project can provide a practical solution for people who own a tiny space like this.
