听到“学区房”这个词，你第一时间想到的是什么？有限的居住面积？随之展开的拥挤生活？可是本案想表达的态度和生活方式不是这样，对于孩子来说，成绩是重要，可是成长环境更加重要……

What first comes to your mind when you hear “school district houses”? Limited living space? The crowded life that follows? But in this case, what I want to express is not like that. For children, grades are indeed important, while the growth environment matters more…

为了两个孩子的教育，他们一家由大房子换到这套五十平米的住宅，随着他们一起搬过来的还将有一架钢琴和一个大浴缸，房子要既能满足孩子们在空间里自由玩耍，又能在写作业和学钢琴的时候，做到彼此互不干扰。爸爸要有独立办公的一块地方，爷爷奶奶也会时常来住，既要满足家里空间功能利用最大化，也要同时满足保有家人之间的基本隐私。而这些需求所对应的竟是这只有50平米典型的老房结构，对设计师来说真的是一种挑战。

For the education of two children, the family moved from a large house to this 50-square-meter residence. What moved here with them were a piano and a large bathtub. They want the house to be the place where the children are able to play freely and do not interfere with each other when doing homework and learning piano. Dad needs a place to work independently, and grandparents stay here from time to time. It is necessary to maximize the use of space in the house, but also to maintain basic privacy among family members. To meet these needs with the typical old house structure of only 50 square meters is literally a challenge for the designer.

1. 将主卧东西朝向调整为南北朝向，增加了第三间卧室——儿童房 2. 为保证儿童房的光线以及作为通往卧室的主动线，特将两屋之间做了透光窗、隐蔽式玻璃推拉门和帘式衣柜等尽量增大空间视觉感的处理方式。 3. 横宽尺寸有限的情况下，利用高度设计了上下床，保证两个女孩儿都有相对独立的睡眠空间。

1. The originally east-west-facing master bedroom is adjusted to face north or south. The the children’s room is added as the third bedroom. 2. Measures that maximize the visual sense of the space such as adding light inlet window, concealed sliding glass door and curtain wardrobe between the two rooms are took to ensure the light of children’s room and serve as the active line that leads to a bedroom 3. In the case of limited horizontal width, the height is made use of to place the bunk bed to ensure that both girls have relatively independent sleeping space.

4. 洗手台外置，将卫生间的三个功能区进行分离，利用马桶间背部剩余空间增加横向浴缸。 5. 朝北侧卧室设为地台，在保证睡眠功能同时增加储物功能，并且留有85公分宽的书桌。 6. 客厅作为全家最大的活动区域，同时也承担了餐区的功能。另外在厨房单独增加了早餐台桌椅，让需要早起上班的夫妻俩能更有效率的完成早上的就餐活动。

4. The washbasin is placed outside the bathroom, where three functional areas are separated. The surplus space at the back of the toilet is used to place a bathtub transversely. 5. A platform is designed in the bedroom facing the north to add storage functions while ensuring the sleeping function, and therefore an 85-cm-wide desk is able to be placed there. 6. The sitting room, the largest activity area of the whole family, also serves as the dining area. In addition, the breakfast table and chairs are added separately in the kitchen, so that the husband and wife who need to get up early to go to work can finish their breakfast more efficiently in the morning.
