Type Street公寓是一个70年代一居室小公寓的改造翻新项目，面积为35平方米。项目设计是对小型住宅运动的支持，也是对抛弃文化和过度消费的现代生活方式的质疑。

Type Street Apartment is a renovation project, converting and revitalizing an 1970s 35m2 1 bedroom apartment. The design is in support of the tiny house movement. The design questions the modern-day lifestyle of living in excess and the modern throw-away culture and hyper consumerism.

▼公寓空间概览，view of the apartment

现有的一居室小公寓是20世纪70年代楼梯公寓12个单元中的一个。2.4米高的公寓布局不够合理，内部没有厨房和室外空间，仅有洗手间有朝北的窗户。

The existing site is a 1-bedroom apartment, one of 12 units in a 1970s walk up apartment. With conventional 2.4m high ceiling, no working kitchen, an awkward layout, with bathroom the only space with north facing window, and no outdoor space.

设计目标是让被忽视的住宅恢复活力。设计师在现存结构和空间布局的约束下进行设计，为建筑使用者创造灵活的居住/工作空间。

The design objective was to bring life back to neglected housing stock. Working within the constraints of existing layout of structure and services to create a flexible generous living / office needs of the architect occupier.

设计策略是对公寓局限性的直接回应，采取措施包括在洗手间和厨房之间增添一扇内部窗户，为厨房引入从洗手间射入的北侧光照。窗户上安装了一个可切换的隐私保护膜，按下按钮，窗户就变为磨砂玻璃，保护了洗手间的私密性。

The design solution was a direct response to the limitation of the apartment. Introducing an internal window between bathroom and kitchen, providing the kitchen with much needed borrowed northern light from the bathroom, a switchable privacy film is applied to the window, the glass becomes frosted to provide privacy to the bathroom at the press of a button.

为了引入室外空间，设计师仔细考虑了洗手间的色调来营造一种像温室一样的室内/室外的空间感觉。主墙被各种盆栽植物覆盖，形成一道特色的绿墙。在进入公寓的那一刻就可以直接看到这面墙，住户能够感受到自然和绿色的友好环境。

To introduce a sense of the outdoor space, the bathroom palette is carefully considered to create a feeling of an indoor/outdoor space, like a greenhouse. A feature moss wall covers the main wall, overlay with various pot plants to form a feature green wall, this is position in direct eye sight as you first enter the apartment, to be immediately greeted with nature and green.

为了营造一种宽敞奢华的感觉，设计师的策略是扩大功能空间所占比例，公寓的主要特点是内部插入了一个4米长的厨房。分层与重叠是小空间规划的重点，两种不同的功能可以在同一空间的不同时间中存在。灵活的家具如可以滑出的餐桌，使不同功能的空间可以轻松转换。

To create a feeling of generous and luxury, the strategy is to allocate generous proportions to the functions, a 4m kitchen is inserted into the apartment, this is the main feature to the apartment. Layering and overlapping are the key to planning for small spaces, two different function can co-existing in the same space at different times. It then comes down to detailing of the flexible joinery to make it an effortless transition between the 2 functions, such as the slide out dining table.

室内采用了带来轻松平静感觉的简洁的色调，因此不会产生压迫感。设计主要用料是木材，设计师采用统一的的木材饰面，塑造空间连续性：从木地板到木板家具和墙板，再到天花板，它们一起构成了插入公寓空间内部木盒子这一建筑语言。公寓其它空间、与橱柜相配的白墙、天花板一起形成了一道简单的白色背景。精致的银蓝色乙烯编织地板为稻草榻榻米地板提供了一种现代感，也为空间带来了柔软感。

A simple material palette is used, to bring a sense of easiness and calm, so it doesn’t overwhelm the senses. The main material statement is the timber, as all the timber finishes are coordinated to give a sense of continuity; from the timber flooring, to the timber veneer joinery and wall panels, to the ceiling, together gives the architecture language of a timber box inserted into the apartment space. The rest of the apartment has a simple white backdrop, with white paint to wall, ceiling, colour matched to the cabinets.A subtle silvery blue woven vinyl flooring give a contemporary reference to the traditional tatami straw flooring and brings a softness to the space.
